I’m Christopher “GoodKnews” Cardwell, and I founded GoodKnews Photography in 2009. Based in Rochester, NY, I’ve spent over a decade capturing meaningful moments and powerful visuals for clients across the country.

With experience in nearly every genre of photography, I offer a wide range of services, including:

• Commercial & Editorial Photography
• Wedding Photography
• Lifestyle & Family Photography
• Corporate Photography
• Celebrity Photography
• Professional Headshots & Portraits

Whether we’re working in the studio or on location, I tailor every session to reflect your unique personality, story, or brand. I believe the best photos happen when there’s a genuine connection, so I make it a point to get to know each client personally. My goal is to provide not just beautiful images, but a standout experience from start to finish.

I’m a proud graduate of Hampton University and the owner and lead photographer behind GoodKnews Photography. Over the years, I’ve developed a creative style that blends technical skill with a deep passion for storytelling. My work has taken me coast to coast, and I’m grateful to be recognized for both the quality of my images and the care I bring to every shoot.

Photography isn’t just what I do—it’s how I connect with people and help them tell their stories. Whether you're looking for bold brand visuals, timeless wedding memories, or authentic portraits, I’m here to bring your vision to life with clarity, creativity, and intention.
