Who we are

Welcome to Capturing Kenosha LLC, where passion for photography meets the heart of our community. We are more than just a group of photographers, we are a movement dedicated to preserving the history, beauty, and spirit of Kenosha through the lens of those who know it best: its people.

Our Mission

Capturing Kenosha LLC was born from a shared love for our hometown and a desire to make a lasting impact. We believe that every photograph tells a story, and together, these stories weave the fabric of our community. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to channel the collective creativity of local photographers into projects that celebrate Kenosha’s heritage and contribute to its future.

Our journey began with the restoration of the Historic North Pier Lighthouse, a beacon of light and history on the shores of Lake Michigan. This lighthouse is more than a landmark; it’s a symbol of resilience, guiding countless mariners to safety and serving as a reminder of Kenosha’s rich maritime history. This project is just the beginning.

Looking to the Future

As we move forward, our annual Capturing Kenosha calendars will continue to support a variety of community projects that benefit the people of Kenosha. From preserving historic sites to funding local initiatives that improve our city, each calendar represents a new opportunity to give back. Every photo captured and every calendar sold contributes to the well-being of our community, making a difference in ways that go beyond the images on the page.
