Kindred is a love letter to the animals who shape our lives.

Our Philosophy 

We believe your pet's portrait should be a lasting piece of art, celebrating their place in your life. That's why every portrait we create is intentionally composed, thoughtfully lit, and artfully crafted to reflect the spirit that makes your pet irreplaceable. These portraits deserve more than a fleeting place on a screen - they deserve a permanent, meaningful place in your home where they can be seen, felt and remembered every day.

MEET THE TEAM

Sindy

Founder. Photographer. Editor.

My journey with photography began in a high school darkroom, where I fell in love with the process of turning a moment into something lasting. For years, I captured love stories as a wedding photographer, drawn to all the small, emotional moments that make them so meaningful. Then I became a dog mom and found a new kind of love. Inspired by the bond I share with my dog, I founded Kindred to honor the deep connection we have with our pets and turn it into lasting art. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me traveling, hiking, cooking, or curled up on the couch watching a tv show. 


Angelo

Photographer. Pet Charmer.

Photography has always been my way of slowing down and noticing the details others might miss. I was raised in Sicily and learned to shoot on my father's film camera, where every frame mattered and nothing was rushed. Over the years, I've carried that same appreciation for intention and craft into everything I do. Kindred brings together my lifelong passion for photography with my love for animals. My own dog is one of the best things to happen to me and being able to honor that bond through art is a gift. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the beach, camping, playing volleyball, and working on a good DIY project.
