Why we ranked them

Why we chose Kenzie Banks Photography

Kenzie Banks built her photography business in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but a decade of shooting weddings and newborns throughout the region has taken her south into Iowa just as often as it has kept her home. She regularly travels into Northwest Iowa, Orange City, and the greater Sioux City area for in-home newborn sessions, favoring a documentary approach over heavily posed studio work. Rather than asking families to come to her, Kenzie shows up at the house with a small kit of wraps and simple layers and lets the session unfold around the baby's actual mood that day — feeding, swaddling, and settling worked into the flow of the shoot instead of fighting against it. Her background is rooted in wedding photography, which shows up in the newborn galleries as an instinct for candid, in-between moments: a dad mid-yawn on the couch, an older sibling peeking over the bassinet, natural window light falling across the nursery. Kenzie describes her overall philosophy as prioritizing a family's presence in the moment over a perfectly styled shot, and that shows in how little direction she gives during a session. She has photographed newborns for close to ten years, splitting her calendar between South Dakota and the Iowa side of the Sioux City metro, and continues to post recent sessions from both states on her site.
