C. Kenzie C. Photography was originally founded as a way to bring mindfulness moments to social media platforms by using photography as a medium. We are bombarded with a million daily messages by the media, so why not add a few moments of relaxation and reflection as well! Our mission is to combine neuroscientific, cognitive, and mental health principles, often rooted in Buddhism teachings and the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction technique, with photography to prove that art can transcend being a leisure luxury and act as a therapeutic necessity.

Founded Coalition (aspiring for 501(c)(3) non-profit status) to eradicate the stigma and raise awareness about mental health on campus. Created Mental Miles Fundraising Campaign and raised over $2,100 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness through hosting a 120+ attended 5K Walk/Run in Easton & GoFundMe page.
