Classic Family Portraits in the Studio [Kansas City Photographer]

I so love creating timeless, classic portraits for families in my Kansas City metro-area studio. Of course outdoor portraits are wonderful and I love doing those, too, but when it comes to timeless portraits that could hang in your home for a lifetime, there's nothing like expertly-done studio portraits.

I have years of experience photographing families, and I am very knowledgeable about how to use posing to and lighting to make sure you look your best, no matter what you size or age. Family relationships are beautiful and I work hard to make sure Center Stage portraits reflect that. I also pride myself in technical excellence reflected through proper exposure, color, lighting and composition; and I work hard to offer you personal service that will make your experience with Center Stage a great one.

This family put a lot of thought into what they would be wearing, and I paired their choices with two traditional backdrops to create these classic family portraits. They were great to work with as well. Such beautiful portraits!

When was the last time you had family portraits done? What are you waiting for? Give me a call or send me an email and we will get the process started. I look forward to hearing form you!

Family Holiday Portraits - Kansas City Photographer

Yet another photogenic family recently came for a portrait session- always such fun to photograph Pam and her kids.

Sweet 13 - Kansas City Photographer

Thirteen is such a great age to photograph - I've done sessions with three different 13-year-olds in the last few days and it's been an eye-opener for me, as all three of them are kids I've photographed for years, but goodness, there is something about 13 - they have become little adults!

This beautiful girl, who started dancing en pointe this year, makes my job easy, and it's always a bit sad when our session is over. I just love her!

Sassy 13! - Kansas City Photographer

I had the great fortune to once again photograph this beautiful girl - this time to celebrate her 13th birthday. I think 13 looks great on her, don't you?

Beautiful Family in the Studio - Kansas City Family Portraits

When Kesha saw her friend Anne's Center Stage portraits, she knew it was time for portraits of her own family. I love that! Referrals are such a compliment to my work. We started with a session in the studio last week (which I'm previewing today) and ended with an outdoor session (preview coming soon). I've so enjoyed working with your family, Kesha - thank you so much for choosing me to create beautiful images of your family. Enjoy!

Stunning New Location - Kansas City Photographer

I recently happened upon on this beautiful new location for portraits and was so  happy to try it out with this pretty little 18-month-old who I get to photograph about every six months. Lindsey - thank you so much for making that long drive so many times to come to me for portraits - I hope you know how much that means to me!

Gallery coming soon!
