Desmond McIntyre Photography

Hi, I’m Desmond McIntyre, a professional photographer based in Kansas City, Missouri, specializing in polished, intentional photography for individuals, families, and professionals. My work blends clean, modern aesthetics with professional lighting, guided posing, and a relaxed, efficient experience. I bring over 15 years of professional photography experience and a genuine love for the craft. I’m very outgoing and easy to work with, and I pride myself on helping clients feel confident — even if they’ve never been professionally photographed before. I stay involved from the very beginning, offering wardrobe coaching, creative direction, and posing guidance so sessions feel intentional and stress-free, not rushed or generic. Clear communication and expectations are a priority, ensuring there are no surprises when it comes to pricing, delivery, or usage. ⸻ Services Offered Professional Acting Headshots Industry-standard images for actors and performers • Commercial and/or dramatic looks • Studio or controlled natural-light setups • Wardrobe guidance and expression coaching • Casting-ready retouching Starting at $425 ⸻ Corporate & Professional Headshots For executives, teams, and brands • Studio or on-location setups • Consistent lighting across individuals • Business and marketing usage Starting at $175 per person (Custom team rates available) ⸻ Senior & Graduate Portraits Modern, confident portraits that celebrate milestones • Studio or outdoor locations • Multiple looks encouraged • Guided posing and styling support • Ideal for announcements, yearbooks, and keepsakes Starting at $400 ⸻ Maternity Sessions Elegant, connection-focused portraits • Studio or outdoor locations • Styling guidance and posing direction • Partner and family options Starting at $425 ⸻ Family Sessions Natural, timeless family imagery • Guided, lifestyle-based posing • Studio or outdoor options • Families of all sizes welcome Starting at $400 ⸻ Engagement Sessions Story-driven, romantic portraits • One or multiple locations • Outfit change options • Perfect for announcements and prints Starting at $425 ⸻ What to Expect • Pricing aligned with high-end Kansas City photographers • Clear packages and deliverables • Professionally edited images delivered via a private online gallery • Retainer required to secure your date Please note: Thumbtack charges photographers a fee to respond to inquiries.
