Winter smiles

I am a St. Louis child photographer. That being said, coming off of a fabulous fall season and entering into a nice cold winter, is enough to make any photographer nervous. The transition back into the studio and into my clients homes has been anything but never wracking.  I have had an absolute blast photographing just natural shots! There is something that makes me smile getting to photograph young children just in a simple way. I am a big sucker for a clean black and white image with bright skin and wide eyes. Actually, the very first time I had my son Tyler, now 5, photographed, he was 6 months old. I was not yet a photographer. My now dear friend Amy Tripple captured him in a way I will treasure forever. I have a massive 30×30 storyboard print right over my desk of my favorite shots from that session. It was all about capturing his sweet little face. It was that shoot that made me love photography so much! So all of these winter in studio child photography sessions have made me smile 🙂

What a doll this kiddo is!!!!!

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. […]

family in color and black at white at sunset

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, […]
