About Sharon's Studio of Gloucester

Kendra Dott

Owner - Main Photographer

If I were a doctor, my clients would say I have a good bedside manner. I'm outgoing and professional. I work quickly and effortlessly. I can offer tips, if I notice your uncomfortable with being photographed. I'm accommodating and will shoot under the radar if you want a more candid style. I guess I'm a people pleaser in a way. I want you to rave about your photos.

    10/10 Photography Experience

    We had such a great experience having Kendra as our wedding photographer this August. She is so great at using her surroundings to create fun photo opportunities in the moment. In addition to our awesome portraits, we also snuck away during the reception to take some sunset pictures. The editing/lighting was perfect and were some of my favorite photos we took. For both the wedding and our engagement shoot, the outdoor pictures were fantastic and showed how talented she truly is. We are so thankful to Kendra for capturing such special memories. Choosing Cape Ann Weddings as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made!

    Amazing photographer!

    Kendra is a very skilled wedding photographer. Working with her is easy and fun. She is one of the most talented photographer we worked with. She is always able to capture beautiful moments even when all we could see was the everyday. Choose Kendra and you will not be disappointed!

    Simply Amazing

    Working with Kendra was so easy. She asks for requests but goes way beyond what we could have come up with ourselves. She has a creative eye and captured all the perfect moments and more. I simply didn't have to worry about anything from start to finish. This wasn't the first and won't be the last time we will have Kendra and Sharon's Studio capturing important family memories.

    Kendra photographed our family reunion on a chartered cruise of Boston Harbor, and she really captured the special moments for us, both posed and candid. She took lots of great photos and got several good group shots of the 29 guests, both young and old. The photos will be a wonderful memory of the event. I highly recommend Kendra for any special event.

    Kendra Dott is an incredible photographer and an absolute joy to work with. I needed a photographer at the last minute for my son’s rehearsal dinner and welcome cocktails, which took place aboard the Lannon Schooner and at the Gloucester House. I feel incredibly lucky that Kendra was available! From the moment she arrived, Kendra was professional, warm, and incredibly easy to work with. She moved effortlessly through the evening, capturing everything without ever making it feel like we were being photographed. She has that rare ability to be present without being intrusive, which meant our guests could simply relax, enjoy themselves, and be themselves. And the photos? Incredible. Kendra didn’t just take pictures of the event; she captured its feeling. The energy, the laughter, the little interactions between people, the beautiful moments between the bride and groom-to-be, and all of the details that made that evening special. Looking through the photos brings the evening back to life. That is what makes Kendra both a true professional and a true artist. She has an exceptional eye, but just as importantly, she knows how to read a vibe and anticipate the moments worth capturing. She was able to photograph a lively, moving event in two very different settings and somehow make it all feel effortless. We will treasure that night forever, and the moments Kendra captured of our family, friends, and the bride and groom-to-be will be keepsakes of the beginning of a wonderful wedding weekend. If you are considering Kendra for your wedding, rehearsal dinner, family celebration, or any important event, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Book her. You will be so glad you did!!!

    Oh my goodness. This is the best review. Thank you so much. It was my pleasure. Kendra Dott of Sharon’s Studio


It hasn't happened but I have a huge and amazing network of photographer friends to work for me or as an assistant to me.
No but I know plenty of companies to suggest
A lot. I tell people around 100 per hour but I always take more. Sometimes 200 per hour but it depends on how many hours I shoot.
Yup! I correct all of the images and you have complete control over the copyright. I give you all the images too. Not just a select few. I can do further photoshopping to ones that need more. Like adding an child that is too shy, slimming down an arm, puffing up hair.....
As soon as you know your date ideally. I don't double book days and once someone puts down a deposit, that's it. I can do last minute events if I happen to not be booked on your date.
I'm pretty quick. I get excited to see them, so I work overtime. Sometimes as soon as one week or if I'm crazy busy maybe 2-3 weeks.
I do both. I work alone and I also can bring a second shooter. My prices are competitive so a second shooter is a little extra.
Getting ready photos. Maybe have a second shooter go to get photos of the guys. Have a first look and then do pre-formals. Head to the ceremony. Then take a few images of just the Bride and Groom and then join the cocktail hour. Enter the reception, do the first dance, toasts, cake cutting, extended family and friend photos. Then if nothing is planned like a sparkler exit have me leave early.
