Take content creation off your plate.

We're a Nebraska-based content team that handles professional photo, video, and strategy work for businesses who don't have time to DIY it.

Why we do this.

You need content, but creating it yourself while running everything else isn't sustainable. We started Kindred26 after building Omaha Guidebook to a large local following and seeing this challenge everywhere: great businesses that needed professional content but didn't have the time. We're here to solve that with content creation and strategy that takes it off your plate.

Meet the team.

Emily Kassmeier Rothe

Founder, photographer, strategist.

Emily is a Nebraska local who's worked in project management, product management, and marketing across tech companies amidst launching her own brands.

She's built an audience from scratch, partnered with hundreds of local businesses, and learned what actually moves the needle for content. She's detail-oriented, strategic, and genuinely invested in seeing your business succeed.

When she's not behind a screen, you'll find her walking her dog Ash, experimenting with gluten-free baking, doing yoga, or tending to her 62 houseplants (yes, she counted).

Josh Rothe

Videographer, audio engineer, IT.

Josh brings years of professional video and audio experience to every project. He's a creative technician who excels at capturing genuine stories on camera and pinpointing what makes a brand unique.

He handles the technical side of content creation—from filming and audio to editing and post-production—ensuring everything looks and sounds professional.

In his free time, Josh crafts the perfect espresso shot, plays guitar and drums (usually not at the same time), and is always sourcing the latest tech to optimize his setup.

Ash

Security officer.

Ash knows how to run a tight ship. When he's not on the clock, he enjoys playing ball, going to bed on time, playing ball, eating chicken, and playing ball.
