About
Behind KJC.CARS
KJC.CARS is built around a genuine interest in cars and automotive photography.
Kenny works directly with each owner from planning the location through the final edit.
Every vehicle gets its own approach instead of being photographed from the exact same angles at the exact same locations.
Whether it's someone's daily driver, first build, weekend car or dream car, the goal is to create something worth remembering.
Events
The cars.
The people.
The night.
Car meets, shows, cruises, club events, dealership events and private automotive gatherings — covered start to finish across the Des Moines metro.
Reviews
Straight from owners.
