Hello, I’m Lekendrick Payne, the heart and creative eye behind Shots by P. Photography isn’t just what I do — it’s my passion and my purpose.

I believe every person, family, and moment has a story worth telling. My goal is to capture those stories with intention, honesty, and care. With years of experience and a deep love for creative expression, I strive to make every session feel comfortable, personal, and truly unforgettable.

I value taking the time to get to know you. Longer sessions allow me to understand who you are, what matters most to you, and the moments you want to preserve — so every image feels authentic and meaningful. From the very beginning, I’ve been inspired by the power of photography to connect people and freeze moments that might otherwise be lost.

That connection, that emotion, and that attention to detail are what make Shots by P more than just photography — it’s storytelling through the lens.
