My husband and I wanted to get family photos done this year and when we saw that Rye Studios was…read moreoffering a barn mini session we jumped on it! The location that they had set up was a beautiful farm in Stilwell (Serendipity Farms) and they had arranged a huge beautiful wreath in front of the barn for a gorgeous backdrop. We were there for about 30 minutes and had a great time; Rye & her husband Chase were SO great with our toddler. They made him laugh and smile and really gained his trust so he had a blast and cooperated like a little angel. A week after our shoot we met at their studio to go over the photos where we then narrowed it down to our favorite shots. We chose 'Package A' which included 5 printed photos for $750. Here is where I dock one star because I couldn't find any pricing on the Rye Studios website before going into this meeting, so it was a little awkward discussing pricing and options in the moment. It was difficult to follow the package pricing versus the a la carte options. I also wish we would have been provided the digital copies of the photos we chose; The only digital copies we have were the ones uploaded to the Rye Studios Facebook - with the logo attached. All in all, the photos turned out spectacular but based solely on the price for 5 prints, we will probably only use Rye for special occasions. If they had offered a flat session fee for digital copies I would hire them multiple times a year! I will reiterate that I am thrilled with the shots that we did get, I just wish we had access to them.

I had happened onto their site when I saw an offer on FB for a free photo shoot at their barn. I'm a bargain finder, had not set this up yet for my family this year and thought "Boom!." We walked into the studio to review our photos, my husband and I, and were blind-sided by our choices of: Pkg A:$750 Pkg B:$1100 Pkg C:$1250 Ok. I should've asked when I called. I know. Guilty! But these prices were off the chart crazy. We bought, out of naivete. Hindsight..... Their product was beautiful, though! We love our proofs and have learned from this one!

We couldn't be happier to have had Marissa for our engagement and wedding…read more I worked with Marissa a long time ago before she became a photographer and so I knew she was an incredible, well-rounded person. We both eventually moved towards our career professions and for her that was photography. Over time, I saw her amazing photography online and I couldn't wait to hire her for my own wedding. Luckily, my chance came and captured all of the special moments from the engagement to the wedding. Marissa traveled to Wichita, KS for both the engagement session and the wedding. She was completely onboard with this commitment and was never late or made us feel like she was tired from traveling. She met us super early in the morning so that we could capture the most beautiful sunrise photos for our engagement shoot. She was an absolute trooper and never complained about carrying the heavy equipment that early in the morning. She took the time to ensure that we got the most beautiful photos. At the wedding, Marissa was very professional and everyone loved to be around her. Not a shocker - she captured the most phenomenal photos! We have shared so many of them with friends and family, and we all can't believe some of the angles and perfect lighting that she was able to capture. She stayed throughout the night and walked us through our sparkler ending. It was awesome! Marissa - thank you for capturing the happiest year of our lives so far! We absolutely love our photos and we look at them every day. Your photos grace our phone, our walls, and the walls of our family. Thank you!

I'm used to having to tell professionals I hire exactly what to do, but Rita had so many great ideas that she was the expert in charge, as it always ought to be! I am now spoiled by her excellent service. Her business branding session we did before the first shoot was incredibly valuable. I did not expect to get so many new ideas about how to advertise my business. This service set her apart in my search for a Kansas City area photographer and did not disappoint. She was also wonderful throughout both of the photoshoots. She thinks quickly and is great at keeping you smiling with humor, even at the end of a five-hour session. In addition, she goes the extra mile--she even helped me clean up and chop in the kitchen for the food photos! Best of all, the photographs all turned out wonderfully, and she got them to me promptly. Rita helped me to take my business to the next level! I'll consider using her even after I leave the Kansas City area. She gets my highest recommendation.

RITA IS THE BEST energy to be around when you are feeling vulnerable in front of the camera and nothing ever felt artificial or forced. When I see these pictures it's the way I see my life with my son. I never thought someone could ever capture that, but SHE DID. Rita's has captured my timeline and our story over the years and it's one of the most cherished things I have!

Beyond impressed with Brant's professionalism, talent, and personal touch he gives to his craft!…read more We were visiting from out of town and needed family pictures of my mom, husband, & 3 kids (ages 3-10). He was so personable you felt like you've known him forever! It was hard to pick out our favorites from the shoot! The amount of patience and professionalism shown by Brant was incredible. He captured so many precious moments and was able to keep our kids engaged through the whole session. Brant took his time, getting to know us on a personal level before doing anything else, and as a result the quality of his work is not simply in the photos, but the experience, and the ultimate result. Brant was able not just to capture moments, but they distill them in such a way as to capture the beauty and soul of what is going on around them. You will not be disappointed. I wish Brant lived in our city, because if so he would be our photographer for all our special family photo sessions!

I found Brant on Yelp and booked him to come to the Birthday Party and take some great family photos. Brant was a DREAM to work with. He was flexible and easy-going as to what time we would start the photo shoot. He got there early and waited patiently as everyone got Dolled Up. He had professional lighting and equipment, he was careful to get all the shots I had requested and was agreeable to any suggestions. In less than two weeks I received some incredible shots from the evening and I could not be happier with the results. Everyone looks great and the quality of the shots are clear. I would not hesitate to recommend Brant Brogan for any of your photography needs. He does great work and is a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Brant from me and my family. Everyone loves the photos!

Oh my--where to begin! I'll start by saying that Shawn and Kodi are incredible, and the photos are…read moreof equal caliber. Now to jump into the details...  We were initially going to get married in Kansas City, but then we opted to get married somewhere close to us. I reached out to Shawn to let him know we weren't getting married in KC any longer, but he said they would be willing to travel to Savannah, GA to shoot our wedding. I was a little hesitant about using a photographer who wasn't from the area and not meeting them before the wedding (my husband wasn't up for engagement photos), but I loved their photos and knew we were in good hands with how responsive he was every time I reached out to him. They were great about working with us on the package, and we immediately felt a connection to him during our pre-wedding call. Shawn had great ideas about our "sparkler" photo timing and had great insight on the timeline.  When we met Shawn and Kodi a couple of weeks later at the rehearsal, we knew we had made the right decision based on their professionalism and the demeanor between the two of them. On the wedding day, Shawn showed up in a tuxedo to shoot and was the definition of professionalism. I knew he was incredibly talented the minute he started taking photos of our rings and other details, and I was blown away by how quickly he got through the wedding party and family photos. (Either my family was on their best behavior or he was completely keeping them in line--going with the latter!) We had some ideas of where to shoot photos, but Shawn had the eye for where we should set up and how we should pose. I thought it would be awkward, but it was so much fun since he was great at giving instructions and kept us moving at a seemingly natural pace.  Kodi served as the second shooter, and her energy was incredibly calming that day. She was an amazing support to Shawn (or so it appeared to us) and also to me--from reminding us when to bring flowers, coordinating timing details, making me feel at ease for being AN HOUR AND A HALF BEHIND SCHEDULE (Yikes!!!! All my fault, not theirs!), and so much more. Their ability to work as such a strong team was so wonderful to watch, and it enhanced the experience for me because they were able to play off each other's ideas and personalities to come up with the best shots and provide the most perfect experience.  We are in the process of getting the photos back now, and I've been so blown away by everything they caught, their creative eye on some shots, and how they were able to make my husband and I feel so comfortable so we had "natural" smiles in the photos. I also love how they caught moments that may have seemed small at the time but are so precious now that I'm looking back on them. The only sad part of this process is that we don't get to hang with them again, as they were truly such a joy to be around and work with throughout the entire process. I cannot say enough positive things about Swander Photography and am so grateful I stumbled across them! Please book them--you won't regret it!
