Learn More About Larry

My journey with photography began in the Army, where I learned to see the world through a different lens.
For more than five decades, I’ve photographed people, places, portraits, and creative work throughout Kansas City and the Midwest. What keeps me interested is still the same: good light, interesting people, and the chance to make something worthwhile together.
I believe the best photographs happen when we work together and when you feel comfortable, confident and truly seen.

Larry took Senior pictures for us and they are amazing! He captured our son’s joy and brought out all the colors in his eyes. He was flexible with wardrobe changes, getting wet in a stream and us throwing a curve ball to get a couple family pics too! The turn around on the photos was impressive!!!! Highly recommend.

What a phenomenal photographer! He's got a great eye and is easy to work with. He clearly loves what he does. I admire that he was so open to collaboration, though I found myself trusting his creative vision very quickly because I was able to see the photos as they were being taken.

So like, he is super nice, and I am not upset or anything. But I think I am just confused? We did a 4 hour photo shoot with my mother, and I thought our glamor shots were going to turn out great, 6 weeks later and my dawg larry sends me and email and says "ayo chubsy I got the pictures ready they are here in the google drive" I said "thanks larry" exchange was done, or so I thought.

I open up the google drive to 1453 pictures, which I thought was fair, thats alot to edit! but the weird part... Is every single picture was the exact same... I have attached the photo to my review.

10/10 would 100% go with larry again, his photos are peak.

Look no more, Larry Peak is a local treasure when it comes to photography. He went out of his way to listen to our requests and was thoughtful when giving his input on suggested changes. His flexibility, precision, professionalism, and ability to see art in ordinary objects is unparalleled. He was open to any changes that might arise in the meantime and he listened to all our special requests. The atmosphere of every photoshoot we have had with Larry has been extremely relaxed, yet dynamic. Larry has a knack for making you feel comfortable, even our son with Autism. As a photographer that may seem taxing, but if it was for Larry it did not show in the shoot or the stunning photographs he captured. We wholeheartedly recommend Larry to anyone wanting to capture their special events and moments in high-quality pictures you can enjoy for years to come, with a professional photographer.
