Timeless Family Memories: Lifestyle Photography for Families in Kansas City

Your family’s story is filled with moments that matter—from playful giggles to quiet hugs, every smile reflects the love that binds you together. Just like I document the love stories on a wedding day, I’m here to capture your family’s unique journey as it unfolds. As a Kansas City lifestyle photographer, I focus on authentic interactions, joyful moments, and the connections that make your family one-of-a-kind. Together, we'll create timeless images that celebrate the heart and soul of your family, full of love, laughter, and memories to cherish.

I am based in Lee's Summit and I am ready to photograph your family anywhere in the Kansas city metro!

What is a lifestyle family photography?

Lifestyle family photography focuses on capturing natural interactions within your family's everyday environment. It’s all about creating an atmosphere where you can simply be yourselves, allowing me to document those precious connections in an authentic, relaxed way.
 

As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing real stories with minimal direction, and lifestyle photography aligns perfectly with this approach. While I provide a bit of guidance and creative direction, my focus remains on capturing genuine emotions. Together, we’ll highlight the personality and warmth of your family in a way that feels completely natural. The goal is to create timeless images that reflect the true essence of your family’s bond.

What can I bring you as a lifestyle professional photographer?

When you think of hiring a professional photographer for family photos, you naturally expect to get great pictures, right? But here’s the thing: your phone can take amazing pictures too. So, what sets a professional photographer apart?

​

  • It is all about the experience:

 

Imagine you're hungry. You can grab a quick bite at a local food truck or dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant (only 13 in the entire USA hold that prestigious title). Both will satisfy your hunger, but the difference is in the experience. The same goes for photography.

As a lifestyle family photographer, my goal is to create an experience that’s fun, relaxed, and memorable. It’s about making sure your family enjoys the session—whether you're laughing, playing, or simply being yourselves. I want you to have a great time, and in the process, I’ll be capturing those authentic, heartfelt moments that tell your family’s unique story.

While you’re enjoying the experience, I’ll be quietly documenting it, so the photos aren’t just images; they’re memories of the time spent together, moments that bring back the emotions and joy you felt.

  • What about posing? 

 

When it comes to posing I’ll help guide your family into natural interactions—whether that’s playfully tickling your kids, a quiet moment of affection, or simply walking hand-in-hand through a park. I’ll create scenarios where your family can truly be themselves, without the pressure to pose. It’s all about making sure you look natural, relaxed, and connected.

  • With Lifestyle Family photography, the relation is key! 

 

To capture these meaningful moments, building trust is essential. That's why we’ll brainstorm together on ways to make your family feel comfortable and at ease—most likely by doing the things you naturally do.

 

Getting to know you and your family’s personality helps ensure that I’m capturing what matters most to you. That’s why the first step is a video call, where we can discuss your vision and get to know each other better.

 

During the photoshoot, my goal is to build a connection between your family and me, so I can capture the images we’ve envisioned together. Throughout the session I don't want you to worry about time, I certainly don't.

  • What type of photographs am I getting?

 

You’ll receive a mix of authentic moments:  joyful laughter, tender hugs, playful interactions, intimate family moments… These are the raw emotions and connections that make your family unique.

While we’ll certainly take a few traditional ‘everyone posed together’ photos, they won’t be the main focus of the session. Instead, the focus will be on capturing your family in its most natural, connected state.

  • Family events

 

I specialize in weddings and lifestyle family sessions, but wait, there is more!
I am also able to capture all kind of family events: 
- Birthdays,

- Baby showers,

- Bridal showers,

- Milestone dinners,
- Parties ...
If you are looking for a photographer to document those meaningful moments, I've got you covered.

So how does the process work?

A lifestyle photos session is basically a 3 step process:
- A meeting to create the vision for the photoshoot,
- The photo session,

- The image delivery.
