Kenny was born in Illinois but primarily grew up in Orem, Utah. He credits his love of photography to his father. He grew up watching his father take pictures and they use to spend time late at night talking about good composition and proper lighting. He use to visualize images that he could someday take when he had a camera of his own.

Kenny graduated from Brigham Young University with a marketing degree, which further strengthened his love for beautiful imagery and the effect it can have on people. Whenever he can, he spends his free time taking photos of temples and spending time with his family.
