Our Philosophy

We believe that family photos should be beautifully displayed and enjoyed such that they become part of your family identity & heritage. That’s why we offer a portrait photography experience that begins with a personal consultation and ends with hand-delivery & installation of your heirloom custom art.

Working Together

1

Initial Consultation

Before the session, we discuss your needs, explain our process, and plan how we can make your portrait dreams come true.

2

The Outdoor Studio

We bring full studio lighting to your on-location session. This allows us to create truly stunning images. Whether it’s a blazing sunset, a blissfully blue afternoon, or a dramatically stormy day, we specialize in creating images that will make an artistic impact on your walls featuring your loved ones against the backdrop of the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks.

In-Person Reveal Party

We bring the photos to you for an in-person reveal session the very next day (or at your convenience). It’s a party! We debut your photos with a slideshow set to music on your very own TV, and then work with you to design your order. We talk through everything from custom Photoshop retouching needs to artwork sizes and options and take the work and hassle off your shoulders. Experience the fun of an in-person reveal party together with your family… in the comfort of your own home or vacation rental!

Heirloom Products

We specialize in quality print products, including wall art, coffee table albums, and fine art prints to showcase your beautiful blessings. Just wait until you get your hands on them! You’ll soon fall in love too. We bring product samples to your consultation and photo reveal party and carefully guide you through the selection and ordering process.
