Family Portrait Photography St. Louis & Metro East Illinois
Unhurried. Classic. Built around who your family actually is.
Family portraits aren’t about everyone looking at the camera at the same time. They’re about documenting who your family actually is — the relationships, the personalities, the chaos and the tenderness that makes your family yours.
MDKauffmann Photography creates family portraits that you’ll actually want to live with. Not stiff. Not staged. Real.
What to expect:
Sessions are unhurried and guided — Matthew keeps things moving and the energy light so your family can actually be present rather than performing. Same-day reveal means you see your images before you leave.
Matthew D. Kauffmann is a Certified Professional Photographer — one of the top 3% worldwide — with 25 years of experience working with families of every size and configuration.
Investment
Family commissions start at $350. Most families invest between $900 and $1,400 for a complete experience.
Today an Event. Tomorrow a Memory. Forever an Heirloom.
Still thinking? That's what the consultation is for.
Every MDKauffmann commission starts with a conversation — not a sales pitch. We talk about your day, your priorities, and what "forever" looks like for your family. If we're the right fit, you'll know. If we're not, I'll tell you honestly.
