About

I'm a Kansas City photographer who has spent more than twenty years chasing the moments that matter, the real ones. The half-second a toddler forgets the camera is there. The way an older sister wraps up a younger one without being asked.

Holloway Portraiture is a family business. My wife and I run it together, and our now-grown kids lend a hand too. A session never turns into a crowd, though: there are always two of us there, one behind the camera and one helping everyone feel at ease. Enough hands to catch the real moments, never so many that it feels like a production.

We're not a studio with a checklist. We photograph families, children, newborns, and seniors the way neighbors would: patiently, warmly, and with a genuine love for the people in front of us. The work really comes down to a few simple things done well: good light, honest composition, and the patience to wait for a real moment instead of forcing a pose. It's all real. Nothing here is generated or pieced together on a screen, just your family in honest light, exactly as they were that day. What we care about is that years from now, you look at the picture and feel exactly what that day felt like.

If that's the kind of portrait you're after, we'd love to meet you.
