Capturing the moments that tell the story of your life

Happily serving the Kansas City area!

Specializing in rowdy kids, perfectionist mamas and less-than-thrilled husbands

We can’t wait to document your most precious memories

Here’s what you can expect from me:

01 — Book Your Session

Set up a pre-booking consult, and we’ll talk about all the little details of your family, pick out the best location(s), the perfect date and book your session.

02 — Get Prepped

I’ll act as your trusted resource and support in the weeks and months leading up to your session, answering questions and providing guidance on things like outfits, props, etc.

03 — It’s Go Time

Your session is here! Take a deep breath and get ready to have some fun (no really, it’ll be a blast)! I say good riddance to awkward posses - I’ll help you feel comfortable and at ease in front of my camera so your photos reflect your true personalities. Plus, I have some pretty fun prompts and games for the kiddos!

04 — Beautiful Images

Choose your favorite photos for albums, wall art, photo cards and much more!

Mom, we’re in this together

I’m a photographer with a love for telling stories through the lens of my camera and an uncanny knack for getting fussy toddlers to smile! Seriously, it’s like a gift or something!

I’m not afraid to get down on the ground for that perfect shot of your little one or hike to the top of your favorite spot at sunrise. I can’t wait to meet you and document your family’s visual legacy!

BOOK SESSION

“Amazing experience from start to finish! Kelsey was an amazing communicator ensuring we didn’t have any questions or concerns about what to wear, where we were meeting, etc. from the very beginning. During our session she was fantastic with our 3 year old and even brought stickers for her (which made my Mama heart happy). Kelsey went above and beyond to ensure our session went smooth and, even better, our pictures turned out beautiful!”

—Beth K.

“I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey! She’s great with communication, AWESOME with kids, and so kind. Our pictures came out wonderful and will be treasured by us for many years to come.”

—Katie M.

It’s more than a photo,
