Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I honestly cannot say enough great things about Kensie! She shot our October 1st wedding at the Red River Zoo, and she did such an amazing job. During the day, she was professional and fun. We got all the necessary family photos and some hilarious photos with the zoo animals as well. We received a huge online gallery of photos from her, plus a jump drive, which made sharing with our family and friends very easy. Before all the photos were edited, she even reached out to get us a few early for Christmas cards. I am just so in love with our photos! I can’t imagine how they could be any better. Thank you, Kensie, for capturing our special day!” – Rachel S.

Not Your Average Photographer

We wanted to learn a little more about this award-winning business and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Kensie Wallner herself — the owner of Kensie Wallner Photography.

The first question we had for Kensie was what sets Kensie Wallner Photography apart from the many other photographers in North Dakota. Here’s her response:

“I’m lots of fun! I try to make sure that their photo experience is a lot of fun. Lots of people don’t like getting their photos taken. I want to make this a fun experience so they can enjoy the process and the outcome!”

Kensie went on to add:

“I do a lot of weddings. I try to keep everything as real and timeless as possible. I want the photos to look natural and not overprocessed…”

We also asked Kensie what her mission is at Kensie Wallner Photography and how she works to make the world a better place. Here’s what she had to say:

“My whole goal is to capture life’s moments so that my clients can relive them for the rest of their lives. I want them to see themselves being happy. …I want them to be able to look back on that and remember.”

Building Success Through Facebook and Word of Mouth

Despite the fact that Kensie never asks her clients to leave reviews, Kensie Wallner Photography has the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, which speaks to Kensie’s dedication to excellence and the incredible service she provides.

Outside of building an online reputation, that same service has helped generate word of mouth for Kensie Wallner Photography, which is the business’ main source of growth:

“Everything is pretty much word of mouth. A lot of my clients are friends of past clients that have recommended me. Every once in a while, I’ll get someone that comes across my website or Facebook page, but most of it is word of mouth. Maybe once or twice a year, I’ll pay for Facebook advertising, but most of it consists of posts of sessions I’ve done.”

There are so many business owners out there looking to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Kensie Wallner Photography has. Here’s Kensie’s expert advice for them:

“It’s hard work, so just keep at it! Be dedicated, and make sure you’re doing what you do for the right reasons. Make sure that you love what you do and love helping people, and be happy! You really need to have a drive and a passion for what you do.”


Congratulations to Kensie Wallner Photography for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Kensie, for taking the time to speak with us!
