ABOUT MESSI (SHE/HER)

Welcome to my world! I’m Kadalena Messiano — a photographer, graphic designer, and content creator based in Baltimore, MD. I’m passionate about storytelling, animal welfare, and creating content that connects people to a bigger purpose.

My photography journey started at 16, volunteering for my high school’s yearbook club and athletic department. Since then, my lens has taken me everywhere — from shelter pets and wedding celebrations to concerts, food festivals, and sporting events. No matter the subject, I’m known for my bold, colorful aesthetic and expressive photography style that brings out personality, energy, and emotion in every shot.

By day, I work as a Marketing & Development Coordinator for a non-profit animal shelter, blending my love for content creation, photography, and fundraising to help pets find their forever homes. Beyond my 9–5, I spend much of my week volunteering at events, lending my creativity to causes I believe in, and capturing the moments that matter most.

At the heart of everything I do is a passion for what I call “movie montage moments” — those cinematic, unforgettable snapshots that tell a story just like a scene from your favorite film. Whether it’s an adoption-day portrait, a high-energy concert, or the warmth of a community fundraiser, I thrive on turning fleeting moments into lasting memories.

If you’re looking for visuals that stand out, storytelling that inspires, or creative content with heart, let’s create something unforgettable together.
