Christina Hodges—the heart and vision behind LaniKai Photography.

Since 2017, I’ve transformed moments into immersive fantasy experiences in Gardner, KS. I’m the owner, operator, and creative force behind every session.


Serving KC metro, Gardner, Olathe and surrounding areas

My photography specializes in: Fantasy photography • Cosplay • Boudoir and pinup • Magical storytelling that escapes reality and invites imagination

I don’t just take photos; I create experiences. My “dress up box” is a treasure trove of wardrobe, props, and backdrops featuring wizards, witches, fairies, and a host of characters you’d find in stories. Whether you’re looking for a whimsical portrait, a character-driven cosplay shoot, or a bold boudoir session with a fantastical twist, I tailor each session to your vision.

If you’re seeking more than just family photos—if you want a cinematic escape into a world of your own design—LaniKai Photography is here to bring that dream to life.

PASSION

I started my Photography business after being a chef for 10 years. I owned a catering business with my mom for 8 years and then left to accept an executive chef position in another company. I found that not working for myself was something I missed. In 2018 I really wanted to go into business for myself again. I wasn't wanting to go back to food. My passion was photography.
