Baby in the Botanical Garden! {St. Louis Children's Portrait Photographer}

November 10, 2022 · Family Bonds, Growing Babies

What a gorgeous day it was for family portraits in the Missouri Botanical Garden a couple of weeks ago. I had fun with this lovely couple and their adorable son. Baby “M” is one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met!! His parents didn’t even need to bring snacks to their family portrait session! Here are some highlights from our time together…

Welcome to the World Baby

March 24, 2022 · Family Bonds, Growing Babies, Just Born

I was so excited to be able to snuggle with this sweet, sleepy baby girl during her newborn portrait session this week. She decided to surprise her parents and big brother, Scout, by making her entrance a couple of weeks early! Here are a few of my favorite images from the session…

I caught a smile with Dad!

Poor Scout was scared of the camera click, so it was hard to get him to come into the room for a family portrait!

Welcome to the World Twin Baby Boys!! {St. Louis Newborn Photographer}

February 9, 2022 · Family Bonds, Just Born

What an absolute joy it was to shoot a twin newborn portrait session for my friends, Brenna and Jason, today. The boys were due yesterday, but they made their entrance into the world ten days ago, and they are doing great!  I am so excited to watch these babies grow up and to see my friends in this whole new wonderful phase of life.

Twins on the Way!! {St. Louis Maternity & Newborn Portrait Photographer}

December 21, 2021 · Family Bonds, Maternity

This beautiful couple is just absolutely amazing in so many ways. They are smart, kind, patient, creative, funny, silly, and down-to-earth. I had fun during their their maternity portrait session at the Missouri Botanical Garden last month! It was a chilly day, but the colors were still gorgeous even near the end of November.

Congratulations Brenna and Jason!! I love you and can’t wait to meet your twin babies!!!

Two Birthday Boys!! {St. Louis Baby & Family Photographer}

It’s been years since I’ve taken photos at the Museum of Transportation, but I’ve always loved it. The location was perfect for this family’s double birthday portrait session!

Surprise Engagement Portraits {St. Louis Portrait Photographer}

December 2, 2021 · Family Bonds

Between art shows last month, I had the opportunity to visit Fontainebleau State Park in Louisiana. While I was getting ready to take sunset photos at Lake Pontchartrain, this adorable couple asked me if I was a photographer. Sammy had surprised his girlfriend by proposing to her, and asked if I could take some professional portraits of them during this very special moment. I was honored!! And I have to admit that these are my favorite photos from that evening. I wish them much love and many years of happiness!!!!

Welcome to the World Baby "B!" {St. Louis Newborn Photographer}

Oh boy!! This adorable family sure has their hands full now with two baby boys only a year apart! I’m so excited to have been able to photograph these guys when their first bundle came into the world, again, just last month, for his 1st birthday portraits, and now for his baby brother’s newborn portrait session. I look forward to meeting Baby #3 in the not-too-distant future as well! 🙂 Congratulations everyone!

Summertime Family Portraits {St. Louis Family Portrait Photographer}

August 28, 2020 · Family Bonds

Well, since my busiest time of the year is the Fall and Spring, and because we were hit with a pandemic that shut everything down this year, my first portrait session of 2020 was just a few weeks ago! I was so happy to see this sweet family again, as it had been a couple of years since I last photographed their youngest daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. We had quite a lot of fun, until I walked into a bee hive!! I ended up with seven stings. Chaos ensued as I left my camera on the ground and ran away screaming,  eventually stripping down to my undies (with “Mom” protecting me) to get a few stragglers out of my clothes. Mom ended up with a sting on her forehead and poor “C,” the youngest teen, ended up with one on her cheek. I felt SO bad, but they were the absolute BEST sports, and very supportive of all the pain I endured. Here are some of my favorite images from their portrait session!

Welcome to the World Baby "J!" {St. Louis Newborn Photographer}

November 19, 2019 · Family Bonds, Just Born

Oh BOY!! I got to spend a few hours last week with this adorable, cuddly, perfect newborn baby and his sweet parents. Newborn photography is one of my two favorite types of photography with people, and it has been a little while since I’ve had a newborn portrait session, so this one brought me extra joy. To make it even better, Baby Jason stayed asleep for almost the entire session. That’s always a bonus! I’m so happy for this new growing family and wish them lots of luck, patience, sleep, and LOVE! Here are some highlights from their newborn photography session…

Adorable Family Portraits {St. Louis Family Portrait Photographer}

November 18, 2019 · Family Bonds, Kiddos

What fun it is to spend time with four adorable children (and their awesome parents, of course), especially when I’ve been lucky enough to have photographed them as they’ve grown up over the last eight years! I’ll admit, at these ages, family portrait sessions can be quite challenging, but are also full of energy, fun, and laughter. Here are some of my favorite images from our beautiful Fall photography session a few weeks ago!
