hey there!

I’M PIPER!

The heart, soul, and shutter behind Piper Reese Photography. I am a photographer based in Kansas City but I'm always down for a photographic adventure across the U.S.! When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you can find me at local coffee shops, swifting through the thrift stores, or hanging at home with my partner.


I'm a loud, extroverted gal who loves having a good time. Getting to know clients and hearing your stories is why I decided to pursue a photography career! I'm here to be your biggest hype woman and document your beautiful life.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since 2016, capturing everything from sports games to corporate events and passion projects. In 2024, I left the corporate world and officially launched Piper Reese Photography.

Owning a business felt natural. I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so building something of my own just made sense. Now I get to spend my days doing what I love, photographing real moments and amazing people.

I’m all about creating moments that feel real. Authentic, a little moody, and full of playful energy. My favorite part of what I do is helping you see yourself the way you want to be seen.

I don’t show up just to take your photo. I take the time to get to know you, understand your story, and capture it in a way that feels honest and effortless. My approach is rooted in connection and my style leans candid and true to you because the best photos always come from moments that actually mean something.
