About Kichdimna Photography

Real moments, photographed with care.

A Kansas City photographer for families, couples, seniors, newborns, and businesses since 2022.

Who is Kichdimna Photography?

Based in Kansas City, I'm a photographer with a genuine passion for capturing life's most meaningful moments. I started this journey because I believe every family, every couple, and every milestone deserves to be beautifully remembered — not just by memory, but by a photograph.

Over the past 3 years I've been growing my craft, learning from every session, and pouring genuine care into every client I work with. I'm not just here to take photos — I'm here to make you feel comfortable, seen, and excited about the images we create together.

Kansas City photographer for families, newborns, weddings, engagements, senior and graduation portraits, maternity sessions, proposals, kids' birthdays, events, and corporate headshots across the Kansas City metro, on both the Missouri and Kansas sides. No studio: every session happens at a location near the client. Founded in 2022; sessions from $175; travel within 40 miles of Kansas City included.

How a session actually works

01

Send an inquiry

Use the contact form, call, or text. Inquiries are answered within 24 hours with availability and a straight answer on price — every package is listed on the pricing page.

02

Book with a 30% retainer

A 30% retainer secures your date and the balance is due two weeks before the session. Payment plans are available for wedding packages, and cards, Venmo, and Zelle are all accepted.

03

Plan the session

We pick the location and the time of day together — usually the hour before sunset — and I check any permit or fee the location charges before you arrive.

04

The session

Directed loosely: where to stand, when to walk, what to do with your hands. The posed frames take a few minutes; the rest is caught as it happens.

05

Sneak peek in 48 hours

Most sessions include a sneak peek of 5–10 images within 48 hours.

06

Your gallery

Portrait galleries are delivered within 5–7 business days and wedding galleries within 4–6 weeks, in a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads and full personal print rights.

What I shoot with

Fast prime lenses for portraits and low light, a 28–75mm zoom for events and weddings, and a macro for rings and details.

Ask a Question
Where is Kichdimna Photography based? +
In the Kansas City metro, serving both the Missouri and Kansas sides. There is no studio: sessions happen at parks, landmarks, venues, and clients' homes across 20 cities, and travel within 40 miles of Kansas City is included in every package.
Do you have a studio? +
No. Every session is on location — outdoors, at your venue, or at your home for newborn and holiday sessions. That is part of why prices sit below the Kansas City studios.
What happens if it rains? +
For outdoor portrait sessions, weather is monitored closely and rescheduling for weather is free. Weddings go ahead in whatever conditions the day brings, and the plan for the day accounts for it.
How long does editing take? +
Portrait galleries arrive within 5–7 business days and wedding galleries within 4–6 weeks. Most sessions include a sneak peek of 5–10 images within 48 hours.
How do I book? +
Send an inquiry through the contact form or call (913) 490-6888. A 30% retainer secures the date; the balance is due two weeks before the session.

A Sony A7 IV with Sigma 35mm f/1.4, Sigma 50mm f/1.4, Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM, Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro, and Tamron 28–75mm f/2.8 lenses — fast prime lenses for portraits and low light, and the zoom for events and weddings.
