Singing in the rain – St Louis maternity photography

Singing in the rain – St Louis maternity photography. Where is the rain! April rained literally way more than I can ever remember. Granted, I have not lived in St. Louis but one April since I was a kid, but for real. Rain. Rain. Rain. Hot. Cold. Snow. Rain. Hot. Cold. What a crazy spring! The weather in St. Louis sure is as crazy as I can remember. So we decided we needed an April shower maternity photo shoot to bring her May baby into this word. We bumped our shoot a few times to make sure it WAS raining. For real? I have NEVER AIMED for rain. It was fun! That day of our shoot we had 100% of rain all day. It rained and rained. Then it came upon the time of her shoot. Guess what. It STOPPED RAINING! I kid you not. So we hopped in the car and drove out WAY West, like 30 minutes from my studio. We did get one sprinkle. However, this turned into one of my favorite maternity photo sessions ever. The couple I was so lucky to photograph are DARLING! We had a blast. They were game and followed me far away on a tip I could find some beautiful yellow flowers. We already had her in yellow boots with her yellow umbrella, so we all went with it. I have been wanting to do a photo session with an umbrella so this was totally perfect. Plus, who does not love yellow! She was 9 months pregnant! We could not wait any longer. Good thing. She had her baby just a few days ago,  in April  🙂  I can’t wait to meet their new blessing.   Ladies, wait until you see how DARLING dad is with mom. You can tell he really loves her!!!!!  Here it rained, as we moved on, the sun came out in full force!

As much as I love photographing newborns — and I really do — it’s the connection that gets me. As a St. Louis newborn photographer, my focus is always on capturing real connection in a clean, natural studio setting. With parents.With siblings.With the whole family adjusting to someone new. When most people think about a […]

GAH. How is Eva old enough to graduate. She will be graduating this Spring of 2026 from Saint Joseph’s Academy (Saint Joe). This hurts my brain. I have known and photographed her since she was little as I’ve known her mom a long time! I love this season I am in with who I’m photographing. […]

I discovered a hidden spot during my son’s soccer practice that would ONLY work for about 15-20 minutes AT sunset, and ONLY if there was sun. I mean…. I GUESS we could do NO sun too…. but the sunset was epic here. Actually, this was late in the season and we had to move spots, […]
