Hi I'm Cora, the heart behind C Pendergrass photography

I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments

Photography is an extension of my heart - my love for people, my curiosity about their stories, and my desire to preserve the little moments that mean so much.  I first picked up the camera to catch the small, daily, things in our lives, that we usually overlook. In my opinion, turning these moments into portraits can really show a person's essence. I do that for my life, my friends' and family's lives, and I would love the opportunity to share my passion for photography with you.

xoxo Cora
