The Artist · Kosciusko, MS

I'm KP.
I make Southern
portraits that stay.

Shotz By Kp is a lifestyle and portrait studio rooted in Kosciusko, Mississippi. I photograph the people around me the way I see them — honest, styled, and lit by the sky we all grew up under.

Seniors on the cusp of leaving town. Couples on prom night. Kids on a soccer sideline. Family gatherings that would otherwise live only in memory. Every frame is made to outlast the season.

How I Shoot

Style first. Story always.

"I believe every person in Mississippi has a story written in the way they look at the horizon. My job is just to click the shutter at the right beat."

I care about how a jacket sits, how gold hits a chain, how a suit falls at the break — because those details are how people remember themselves. Then I put you in the right light and get out of the way.

Every session is scouted, styled, and treated with archival care. You leave with files you'd actually print — and I keep the negatives for the day you're ready for a book.

What I shoot

Kosciusko · Jackson · Anywhere in MS

Seniors

Class-of portraits with real style direction.

Prom & Formals

Couples nights, dress reveals, the whole run of it.

Lifestyle

Golden-hour sessions that feel like a good afternoon.

Portraits & Headshots

Editorial-leaning single-subject work.

Youth Sports

Sideline, team, and hero-shot coverage.

Events & Family

Candid documentary of the room, not just the pose.

Off Duty

Same eye, different jacket.

When I'm not behind the camera I'm usually in a flannel, on a walk, or scouting light in some parking lot. The same taste I bring to a suit shoot is the taste I bring to a Saturday.

Want to work together? Tell me what you're planning — I'll match the light.
