Portraits By Christopher

At Portraits By Christopher, we are a fine art portraiture studio located in Kansas City, dedicated to capturing the beauty of your family through the combination of fine portraiture and old-world artistry. With over 30 years of portraiture experience, our owner and founder, Christopher Cummins, is a master artist who combines photographic portraiture with the timeless artistry of classical painting.

Our Approach

We pride ourselves on creating a personalized experience for each of our clients. We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with the utmost respect and care, which is why we take the time to understand each client's unique needs and concerns. Our sessions are designed to be relaxing and enjoyable, ensuring that our clients feel at ease and comfort in front of the camera.

Our Services

Our studio offers a range of services, including:

• Family Portraits: Capture the essence of your family's love and bond through our unique blend of photography and classical artistry.
• Individual Portraits: Create a timeless piece of art that celebrates the beauty and essence of an individual.

Our Process

At Portraits By Christopher, we believe that the photograph is just the starting point. Our artist will then carefully mix colors and brushes to create textures and the richness of an art piece in the image. This creates a combination of a photograph and a classical art piece, resulting in a work of art that is both unique and breathtakingly beautiful.

To ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all our clients, we have established the following policies:

• Booking Fee: A $200 booking fee is required to secure your session. This fee is fully refundable if you cancel or reschedule with at least seven days' notice.
