Our Journey
From Passion to Profession: The Vickshots Story
Hi, I’m David Vickers — Your Local Kansas City Photographer!
I’ve been passionate about photography since high school, and for decades I’ve captured every milestone of my three kids’ lives — from their first steps to their own kids’ school plays and soccer games. Now with 9 grandkids of my own, I never miss a moment, and I know firsthand just how priceless those photos become over time.
I’d love to help you capture your family’s special moments too. Whether it’s a family portrait, a birthday party, a school event, headshots for social media, real estate, or even aerial photography — I come to you anywhere in the Kansas City metro and surrounding suburbs.
Pricing is simple and affordable: Family sessions start at $250 for a half-hour, with your edited photos delivered through an online gallery. Have something bigger in mind? Reach out and I’ll put together an option that fits your occasion and your budget.

Our Process
How We Bring Your Family Moments to Life
“We live in a time where everything is filtered or AI-generated, so it’s easy to forget what real photography looks like. That’s why I love Vickshots. Every photo comes back so crisp and full of life that it takes you right back to the moment. You can almost feel the breeze and relive the experience all over again. I’ll never stop bragging about the quality of his work. If you want authentic, beautiful photos, I highly recommend Vickshots.”Thread Revival

- Small enough to care, big enough to deliver. We’re not a faceless big studio. Every client gets our personal attention, not an assistant or a rushed session squeezed between 10 others.

- Our style is warm and storytelling. We don’t just point and shoot — We capture people as they actually are. Clients leave looking like themselves, just the best version.
- We’re budget-friendly without being cheap. Professional photography shouldn’t be a luxury. We’ve priced ourself so that families, graduates, and small business owners can all afford to look their best.

- We understand your clients’ needs beyond the camera. We know where the photos actually go — LinkedIn profiles, websites, real estate listings, family albums. We shoot with purpose, not just for pretty pictures.
- We’re local and community-rooted. You’re serving Lenexa, Overland Park, and Johnson County — not a national chain parachuting in. We’re a neighbor who happens to be a professional photographer.
