Generational Portraits That Celebrate Legacy, Love & Lineage
Generation portraits do more than capture a moment — they showcase your family’s lineage, love, and legacy in a single timeless image.
In today’s fast-moving world, creating a portrait that includes multiple generations — grandparents, parents, children, even great-grandchildren — is a powerful way to connect the past to the present and preserve your family’s story for the future.
At Strauss Peyton Kansas City, we believe these portraits are more than photos — they’re heirlooms that say: "You come from love. You are part of something greater."
Honor your family’s history. Celebrate life’s milestones. Create artwork that tells your story — beautifully and forever.

Thanks to Kaela and Jonathan, we lived a fantastic experience! They made it so easy for us and and we felt confortable right the way! They even accomodated complicated last minute work conditions, going out of their way to help us.
The final photos were so great that it was very hard to choose from them. The portait was of an artist (a shy artist) in the middle of her paintings. She looked gorgeous and the art work looked as wonderful as it is in reality.
Thank you Kaela and Jonathan. That was one of the best investments I have ever made!

I was nervous to do a photo shoot in a studio but Kaela made me feel sooo comfortable. The pictures are beyond what I could have imagined, fun, beautiful, sentimental, dramatic, joyful. Her and her husband were so catering to me and my rambunctious dogs and created true masterpieces for me! I will cherish these photos forever.
