BEHIND THE LENS
Hello!
I’m Megan Dusenbery - wife, mom of four energetic kids and manager at KC Kids Photo.
Life with four children has shaped me into a natural multitasker, quick problem-solver and someone who can stay calm even when things get a little chaotic. These skills come in handy every day as I help keep KC Kids Photo running smoothly; ensuring that our photographers and assistants, the school staff and students, and families all feel supported and have confidence in our company. In many ways, managing my household and helping manage our company go hand in hand... both require patience, organization and a whole lot of heart.
I have always seen myself as a mom and having children of my own was very important to me. My nurturing, motherly spirit carries into everything I do. I strive to be welcoming, caring and friendly, whether I am helping a parent over the phone, supporting our staff or guiding a photographer through a process. I love working at KC Kids Photo because it allows me to make a meaningful difference behind the scenes. From overseeing daily operations to addressing customer service needs with care and understanding, I get to help make every picture day smooth and stress-free, even without being on-site at the schools.
As manager, I’ve had the privilege of growing with KC Kids Photo - starting as an assistant, then a photographer and now in my current role - which has given me a deep appreciation for every role within our company. That experience allows me to lead with empathy, support my team effectively and make sure each staff member feels valued, equipped and set up for success. I take great pride in the responsibility of my role as manager and in working closely alongside our owner as we’ve grown the company together. Having a valued voice in the direction of our future is something I don’t take lightly and am deeply grateful for.
My goal is always to ensure that schools feel confident in our company, families feel truly heard and supported, and our staff can focus on capturing meaningful moments without any added stress. As a mom, I’m reminded daily how quickly our kids grow and how important it is to hold onto these moments while we can. I know firsthand that the photos we take today often become the memories we hold onto tomorrow and that perspective is what fuels my passion for helping capture every milestone before they change in the blink of an eye.
When I’m not at work, my greatest priority is being fully present with my family. Spending time loving and caring for my husband and our four children is the most important role I hold and family truly is everything to me. Those moments as a family, whether it’s during the bustle of busy weeknights, sharing quiet moments together when the world slows down or gathering with our extended family every Sunday evening, are what ground me and continually remind me why these memories matter so much.
