Frequently Asked Questions about Lawrence Family Photography

Where are the best locations for unscripted family photos in Lawrence, KS?

I specialize in finding spots that offer more than just a background. For a "Jungle" vibe, Jungle House on 7th and Mass is a favorite. If you want urban grit and street art, the alleys of North Mass St. are incredible. For a classic, timeless feel, I recommend the South Park gazebo or the modern architectural lines at the Lawrence Public Library.

Do you offer pet-friendly family sessions in Lawrence?

Yes! I believe pets are part of the family "soul," and I always encourage bringing them along. For high-energy dogs, I love shooting at Mutt Run Off-Leash Dog Park, where we can capture authentic action shots of your pup in the open fields.

What is an "unscripted" photography session?

Do you charge travel fees for photo sessions in Lawrence or Kansas City?

To celebrate my 2026 expansion, I am currently waiving all travel fees for family and pet sessions in both Lawrence and the Kansas City metro area. My goal is to make soulful storytelling accessible to families throughout the region.

What should my family wear for a Lawrence lifestyle session?

I recommend "coordinating but not matching" outfits that reflect your personal style. For urban or architectural sessions—like at the KU Campus or the Spencer Museum—a sophisticated look with blazers and textured fabrics works beautifully. I provide a full style guide to every client to help you choose colors that pop against the Kansas landscape.

I am a firm believer that your family’s stories deserve a life beyond a digital screen. Whether we are capturing the vibrant energy of downtown or the quiet moments at the library, those images are meant to be enjoyed every day. You will have full access to a professional print boutique directly through your online gallery. From there, you can easily select high-end canvases, archival prints, and custom-designed albums that turn your favorite "unscripted" moments into permanent heirlooms for your home.

How can I preserve the photos from our Lawrence session?

Do you help with choosing the right products?

Absolutely. Selecting the right size for a canvas or picking the perfect cover for a linen album can feel overwhelming. I love chatting with my clients to ensure you are choosing quality pieces that will stand the test of time and look incredible on your walls. If you are looking for a specific "editorial" look for your Lawrence home, I am happy to provide recommendations on which finishes and frames best highlight the colors and textures we captured during our shoot.
