About Kevin
Learn some stuff about me 🙂
The Beginning
It started with Minecraft.
In 7th grade I was playing and editing Minecraft videos with friends for YouTube and got hooked on the process. That turned into teaching myself logo design, motion graphics, and video editing — going from Filmora all the way to Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Growing the Craft
My brother and I started shooting together.
We’d go out, shoot videos, and I’d come home and edit everything. It pushed my skills and made the work feel real.
Going Pro
I graduated from Warren Central in 2020 and went straight to work.
I joined Frontrunner Media as a graphic designer, camera operator, and editor working with clients across Indiana. That’s where the hobby became a profession.
Photography
My wife started an Instagram for our dog Uno.
We were shooting everything on our iPhones but I wanted better quality. My brother let me borrow his camera and I taught myself how to shoot. I liked it so much I bought my own camera shortly after — and that was it.
The Dogs
We were just sharing photos of him for fun but the page started growing. We got a second golden retriever Indy and the account kept building. People loved seeing them — their personalities, their adventures, the photos. We started traveling with them and documenting everything under @unoandindy and @kevintakesdogphotos.
As we traveled and visited dog friendly spots around Indianapolis I started asking people to photograph their dogs too. I started setting up themed shoots and travel sessions at places like Crate Escapes and Metazoa. What started as photos of my own dogs turned into a full business — @KevinTakesDogPhotos — built entirely around my love for animals and giving pet owners something they’d actually want to hang on their wall.
Kevin’s Creative Space
As Uno and Indy’s following grew, brands started reaching out. What started as dog photos turned into full brand campaigns — shooting videos and photos for companies like The Canine Threads, partnering with Waglane for a Times Square feature, and working with brands like Intercontinental Hotels. Uno and Indy became a model. The work became serious.
It didn’t stop there. The skills I had built over the years — video production, photography, editing, graphic design — were bigger than just dogs. People started reaching out for weddings, portraits, and brand content. It made sense to build something around all of it.
That’s how Kevin’s Creative Space was born. A full creative studio offering photography, videography, and brand content for weddings, portrait sessions, commercial campaigns, and everything in between. Every project is different. Every client has a story. And I’m here to tell it.
Thank you to my wife Sandra. She built the Uno and Indy brand from the ground up and pushes me every single day to be better. None of this happens without her.
