Our Team

  • James Hortman

    Kingdom focused. Detail driven. Story rooted.

    I started out running cameras at my church and over time, our media director noticed I had a natural eye for capturing real moments. That lit a spark that led me to help people tell their stories visually. I’ve always loved the technical side of filmmaking, from camera setups and lighting to editing, but more than that, I’m passionate about making sure each story is told with purpose and authenticity. KBL Media was born from a desire to create content that feels real, looks professional, and serves a purpose. For me, it’s about being intentional with every frame and using creativity to help others show up confidently and with clarity.

  • Grace Renay

    Beauty inspired. Emotion captured. Presence reflected.

    Photography has always been a way for me to help people feel seen. I love capturing those quiet, honest moments that show someone just as they are. Over time, I’ve learned that creating beautiful content starts with creating a safe and welcoming space. At KBL Media, I bring a calm and intentional presence to every shoot, working to make sure our clients feel comfortable and confident. For me, it’s not just about how something looks—it’s about how it makes people feel. My goal is to reflect that inner confidence and beauty through every image we create.

  • Gerald MCClain III

    Legacy driven. Vision led. People first.

    I’ve always looked at things a little differently. Whether I’m directing a shoot or brainstorming a new idea, I try to bring a creative perspective that feels fresh but still true to the person we’re working with. At KBL Media, I focus on pulling the best out of people—helping them feel relaxed, understood, and proud of how they’re represented. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. For me, legacy is about doing meaningful work that lasts and serving people well in the process. I’m here to listen, lead with purpose, and create visuals that connect on a deeper level.
