Picture This: Working with a Full-Service Kansas City Photographer

By Joanna Goodman

We’ve all done it. Oooh’d and Aahhh’d over our family photos only to tuck them back into a digital file cabinet with the best of intentions for later. Most of the time, this is the end of the story.

Here’s the truth: when you work with a full-service photographer, you’re investing in more than just images. You’re investing in peace of mind, getting your time back, and secure in quality you can trust.

Instead of spending hours trying to figure out what to print or where to order, you get expert support every step of the way. You save time and rest easy knowing your images will be enjoyed by everyone, not just stored away on a screen.

I’m Joanna, a full-service photographer, and I help my families enjoy custom relaxed sessions where their vision pairs with my artistic eye. But it doesn’t stop there! It ends with framed memories on your walls, an album on the coffee table, and the sweet relief of not having to do it all yourself.

Let’s Begin with Your Story

From the first touchpoint, this experience is tailored to you. You’ll fill out a simple inquiry form and then I’ll be in touch. Our initial chat will help me understand your specific needs and vision more. Not sure what that vision is yet? That’s completely okay — I love planning, and we’ll chat through all the possibilities. Next up, we’ll schedule a Zoom Design Consultation.

Vision Meets Plan

At the zoom Design Consultation, we’ll get super clear on your vision, fine-tuning it together. We’ll choose a location. You may have a meaningful KC spot already in mind, or I have lots of options and recommendations based on your session time and vision. We’ll also talk about wardrobe styling — because the “what do we wear!?” apprehension is real. I’ll share resources and guidance to help you feel confident and like your truest self. The Design Consultation wraps up by reviewing my Studio Menu and heirloom photography products. We’ll see what resonates with you so we can make sure the session meets your end goals for your walls and albums. Best part? So many decisions get made right here, which saves time and energy down the line. And don’t worry — you’re not locked into product choices yet. I’ll always be here for ANY questions that come up.

The Session

By the time Session Day arrives, you’re ready to go! You get to show up and enjoy, knowing I’ll keep your vision front of mind as I photograph and provide easy guidance for you and your family. This is a time to embrace the season of life you’re in and celebrate each other! Your genuine connections and expressions are a joy for me to capture.

The Reveal

As a full-service Kansas City photographer, I get to be right there with you (sometimes in person, sometimes via Zoom) when you see your photos for the first time. This is an event in itself! You’ll choose your favorite images, image bundles, wall art, or albums — all in one guided meeting. And yes — digital images are included for everything you print, whether that’s framed art or an album. If you’d like to purchase additional images digitally, you can do that too, and they’ll come with beautiful matted prints. I’ll walk you through every option in a way that cuts through the overwhelm and serves your family legacy in the ways that matter most to you.

Legacy Products Delivered Straight to Your Door

Once your selections are finalized, I take care of the rest. I handle production, quality control, and delivery so your heirloom artwork arrives at your door ready to hang, hold, and cherish.

You’ll be so glad you chose to enjoy your photos in archival-quality print — not just for yourself, but for your whole family and future generations.

By choosing to work with me, you’re not just getting beautiful photos (though I LOVE showing my families just how beautiful they are!). You’re getting a complete, guided experience — from first phone call to printed heirlooms in your home — handled with the care you deserve and expect.
