My photographic style allows your family to be the focus of every image, rather than props or inauthentic poses. The simple approach to every session translates into light-filled photos that are playful and true to you.

Book your sunset session
As the sun sets and with the golden light surrounding you, we’ll capture your family in a wide-open setting so your personalities have space to shine through. Whether it’s an evening out in town or hiking through wildflower fields, you’ll spend the session soaking up your time together. I’ll be there to capture the natural interactions and guide you every step of the way.
Sunset Sessions
Filled with natural light, in-studio sessions create a sense of ease. Without the variable of weather or crowds, all that’s left for you to do is connect and have fun! Then grab some ice cream just next door (yes, just next door!). Plus, with the client closet (where you can grab baby and toddler clothes, or some things for mom) and a clean setting, your final gallery will have everything from classic full-family photos to individual portraits full of emotion.

Let’s embrace a day in the life at home. From baking in the kitchen to eating watermelon by the pool, kids (and adults!) are just more likely to open up in a familiar place. We’ll document the snuggles with mom and dad’s carefree tosses of the littles in the air. Feel free to let the kids sprawl out on the floor and just be themselves. Tell me about your favorite activities as a family and we’ll photograph those with gorgeous lifestyle images.

What Comes Next
For Sessions With This St. Louis Family Photographer
I just LOVE Emily! She photographed my family not too long ago and we had the best time. She kept my kiddos engaged the entire time and even my husband said 'wow that was fun' after the session.
“She is seriously the best photographer!”
- Laurie
You will not find a better photographer!... She was incredibly patient with my very awake newborn and my very active 2.5 year old son… Her ability to capture "just the right moment" is astounding and I fell in love with every single picture that she took.
“Our family will be using her for years to come!”
- Tayler
She is so great with kids and truly puts new parents at ease and can work with the unpredictable nature of newborns and infants to capture those smiles and those precious moments.
“Working with Emily is amazing.”
- Rebecca

I know how exciting it is to see all of your imagery! That’s why I take the time to hand edit each photo into a cohesive gallery and deliver it to you within 2-3 weeks.
When will we get our final images?
My lifestyle approach emphasizes natural interactions between you and your family. We’ll lean into the connections in the moment with interactive prompts and light guidance that will make the most out of your time.
What is your posing process like?
Absolutely! I know how important four-legged family members are. So when I say bring the whole crew, I mean the whole crew. Whether out at a park or in the studio, every session is dog friendly!
Can our puppy come too?
To book your session with us, we have a $300 session fee that covers the preparation, personalization and the session time itself. The digital images, prints and albums are purchased separately so you can pick and keep your favorites! Meet me on the contact page and we’ll go from there to better recommend the best package for you (to include more or less digitals, prints, etc.).
