February 2, 2019 Kira Goff
_P3A1269.jpg

When Katie was looking for a maternity photographer, she found me and four other photographers in Kansas City online. She sent our work to her photographer friend in Phoenix, where she’s from, and let her choose. She said her friend chose me because my work was the most consistent….. what an incredible compliment! It definitely made my morning :) Katie and Eric are so fun and easy-going, I had such a wonderful time with this sunrise shoot at Loose Park. She will be induced in a week or two and I wish them all the best with this new, incredible season of life they’re about to embark on!

colorado springs styled shoot photographer

Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs, Colorado were the perfect backdrops for this elegant, wintery, mauve styled shoot. I had always wondered what Manitou would look like from the road leading up to Cave of the Winds, and it was every bit as good as I had hoped!

Upland, California Winter Wedding | Kevin & Dayna

I feel so lucky to have gotten to end my 2018 with such a bang because of this California wedding! What a treat it was to escape the cold for a bit and celebrate the beginning of Kevin & Dayna’s life together on December 1st. These two met through mutual friends who played matchmaker for them. Their friends thought they’d be good together and it turns out, they were right!

Crown Center Kansas City Proposal | Andy & Jacque

December 8, 2018 Kira Goff
Crown Center Kansas City Proposal Photography

The Mayor’s Christmas tree in Crown Center, Kansas City, was the absolute perfect backdrop for Andy to propose to Jacque on this crisp, December day. They are the sweetest couple and I can’t believe how lucky I was to be the one who got to watch him pop the question and witness their first moments of joy as they look towards forever together! Since it’s usually the bride who finds me in her search for a wedding photographer after she is already engaged, it’s not often that I get to be there for the actual proposal… much less get invited to the engagement party!! What a treat!

Kansas City Country Club Plaza and Loose Park Engagement Photos | Nathan and Macy

November 30, 2018 Kira Goff
Loose Park Kansas City Snow Engagement

Nathan and Macy are the kind of people you feel like you’ve known forever when you first meet them. So kind and fun-loving, they are exactly the kind of couple I adore working with! Loose Park is typically teeming with photographers, but we had the whole place to ourselves, possibly due to the crazy blizzard a few days before that covered everything in snow! I can’t believe how different it looked covered in white!

Kay says that Brian is goofy, intelligent, hard-working, sweet, and so many other wonderful adjectives. He is so passionate about many things in his life and she doesn’t think anyone who meets him could ever dislike him. He has such a sincere way about him, she made it a point to say she’s marrying a “good one.”

Loose Park Kansas City Family Photos | The Davis Family

November 15, 2018 Kira Goff
_P3A6078.jpg

Three years ago, I got to take photos of this wonderful family over at Swope Park in Kansas City. Now they have another kiddo and she’s the same age as the first one was when we took photos last time!! Not only do they have the cutest names (Locke and Ivy), but they are completely precious through and through too. Locke was on hyper-speed the whole session, living as if there was no better reality than getting to run as fast as he could through the snow at Loose Park.

Antioch Park, Kansas Family Photos | The Dowers

The weather dropped significantly this week in Kansas City and the morning of this session was dreary and rainy. Thanks to this flexible family, we were able to push it back a few hours to at least avoid the rain! The bridges at Antioch Park actually looked a little cinematic because of the water and we got lucky that the trees were still full of colorful trees despite it feeling more like winter each day :)

I have to admit something ridiculous to you… I have live in Kansas City for 4 years now and had never done a session in the Country Club Plaza. Can you believe that?!? Tannia and AJ were so incredibly kind and we were almost loopy we were laughing so much toward the end!! I’m so thankful that my job affords these opportunities to meet such wonderful people and the situations to become fast friends. Congratulations to these two lovebirds! I’m also still amazed that I live within 15 minutes of both of these amazing locations!! There is SO much more to capture in the Plaza, who wants to do another session there?!?

Loose Park & KC Westbottoms Family & Senior Photos | The Krist Family

October 25, 2018 Kira Goff
Kansas CIty Family Photographer-2.jpg

It’s always a pleasure when I get to capture memories for friends, and this was no exception. I used to work with Geralyn (the mom here) at Visit Kansas City before she left to pursue other things. Her presence was dearly missed, but I’m so thankful that we’ve found ways to stay connected since then. Her oldest daughter, Alexis, is a senior in high school so we did a combined senior + family photo session starting at Loose Park just South of the Country Club Plaza and ending in the Historic Westbottoms, with a quick stop at the Liberty Memorial in between.

Heritage Park Kansas Couple Session | Cody & Kayla

kansas city mini session photos 2019 spring

I met Kayla and Cody for a short mini session this Fall and we immediately hit it off. It’s amazing when you can tell so quickly after meeting someone that they are just good people. An analyst and an engineer, they’re both too smart for me, but we had a blast trekking through the tall grass and searching for fall colors. It’s amazing what images can be created in just 15-20 minutes!!

I play in a volleyball league with Sara each week and I finally got to meet Jefferson at their engagement session!! They requested Loose Park since they live super close and have spent a lot of time running in the area so it’s special to them. Afterwards, we went downtown to the KC Power & Light District to capture some elegant, urban photos.
