Who is Oko Photography
Alyssa Leffkowitz
Alyssa Leffkowitz isn’t just a photographer, she’s a storyteller. Through her lens, she captures moments as they unfold, raw and unfiltered, with a signature photojournalistic style that allows people to simply be. There are no forced poses, no artificial setups, just pure, honest emotion frozen in time.
Alyssa first picked up a camera in 2011, not realizing then that she had an extraordinary gift, an eye for composition and emotion that few possess. What started as a few engagement and maternity sessions soon evolved into a sought-after wedding photography career in Kansas City, MO. Word spread quickly about Alyssa’s ability to disappear into the background, creating an environment where couples, families, and mothers could be their true selves, allowing her to document their most intimate, unscripted moments.
Alyssa’s work is about more than just photography, it’s about preserving the fleeting, irreplaceable connections between people. Whether it’s the quiet, reverent glance of a groom as his bride walks down the aisle, the tearful embrace between a mother and her newborn, the laughter shared between soulmates, Alyssa has a way of capturing the essence of these moments so they can be cherished forever.
As a devoted wife and mother, she understands the profound value of family and the importance of holding onto memories. That passion drives her work, ensuring that every image she delivers is more than just a photograph, it’s a tangible piece of time, a reflection of love, and a keepsake of life’s most treasured moments.
Alyssa specializes in wedding, engagement, maternity, and lifestyle photography, creating timeless images that tell the stories that matter most.
Taylor Leffkowitz
Taylor Leffkowitz isn’t just a photographer—he’s an observer of truth. With an innate ability to read people beyond words, he captures the subtle, unguarded moments that tell a deeper story. His work is raw, moody, and immersive, blending rich color theory with a photojournalistic approach to create images that don’t just document but evoke.
Taylor’s fascination with human nature began early. Growing up in Kansas City, MO, he was constantly surrounded by people from all walks of life—whether through his mother’s world of luxury interior design or his father’s career as a renowned corporate trainer. From a young age, he understood that while words can deceive, body language never lies. This realization shaped his photographic style: an ability to disappear into the background, allowing moments to unfold organically, capturing the unspoken, the unfiltered, the truth.
His journey into photography was anything but conventional. Accepted into the Kansas City Art Institute for his talent behind the lens, his rebellious creative spirit eventually led him down a different path. From high-performance auto mechanics to real estate, each turn added depth to his perspective. But photography was always there—his anchor, his passion, his way of making sense of the world.
As an artist, Taylor is both a chameleon and a wildcard. He blends seamlessly into his surroundings when needed, yet commands attention when the moment calls for it. His images are deep, cinematic, and full of life, using color and contrast to heighten emotion without overshadowing the subject. He never forces a pose, never interrupts the natural rhythm of a scene. Instead, he waits for it—the instant where everything aligns, where a glance, a touch, a shift in light tells a story without a single word.
But beyond the camera, Taylor is a husband, a father, and a creator fueled by the love of his family. Working alongside his wife, Alyssa, isn’t just a career—it’s a shared vision, a relentless pursuit of excellence. Together, they bring a dynamic synergy to every session, pushing each other to new heights, with a singular goal: to become Central Florida’s premier photography duo.
Taylor specializes in portrait, wedding, and lifestyle photography, crafting images that are not just seen but felt—honest, evocative, and undeniably real.
