hi I’M KAYLEE!

I’m a full-time, senior photographer, based in Kansas City, MO, who loves Jesus, dancing, organizing, and creating with others!

I’ve loved everything “artsy” for my entire life, but within the past eight years, I’ve fallen in love with photographing people. I spent my early teen years photographing my pets, my backyard, and my vacations — but when I started photographing my friends, I realized I wanted to be in the people business. I officially launched my business after I graduated high school in 2017; one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Now I’m 27 and photograph high school seniors full-time! Getting to create with each senior, celebrating who they are, photographing their beauty, all the while making a new friend, is truly what gets me up and moving. I love what I do and I love all the friends I make!

Get to Know Your Picture Taker

I’m married to the sweetest guy in the world!

Grant and I met in Kindergarten + got married in June 2021. I am so grateful for his constant support and kindness; he truly is the BEST!

I’m called the Cereal Queen!

Each year on National Cereal Day, I go all out with only eating Lucky Charms + posting a wild + crazy self-portrait, cereal shoot! I LOVE cereal.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was 10.

With a knack for anything creative since I could talk. Creating with people has always been my safe haven + the most amazing gift.

I LOVE McAlister’s Sweet Tea. A lot.

My go-to session + editing fuel. It’s a daily thing now, but it’s okay because they follow me on Instagram; at least they’re supportive ;)

My Senior Photos

I graduated high school in 2017 and took my senior photos at Nelson Atkins! Goofing around, exploring one of my favorite places; the only way to do senior photos — YOUR way. Go where you want, wear what you want, do whatever YOU want!!! :)

My First Camera

My first camera was pink baby!! The best accessory that I’ve been wearing since 5th grade! Those early memory cards, from my pink camera and each camera after, are filled with photos of my pets, and a whole lot of mirror selfies; really good mirror selfies…

My First Senior Shoot

My very first session was my brother’s senior photos! My mom’s only request was for us to have fun; so we went to the baseball field and did just that. Senior photos that were truly Zach. My motto for sessions, started at my very first senior shoot in 2014 :)

I wanna take your picture!!!

Let's Create!!!

I went in being used to being uncomfortable in front of a camera, but by the end of the session, Kaylee had made me feel so much more at ease. Her warm and golden photos match perfectly with her personality as she is so sweet and made me feel so comfortable when posing for my photos.
