Shooting Into the Sun

Shooting into the sun

and a bit of family love

I knew I was going to love them the minute dad contacted me. You see, his wife Lisa is a photographer here ins St. Louis. She had asked him for a photo session of her family for a gift :).  You can tell Andrew, Lisa’s hubby, was doing this FOR her. FOR their kids and FOR their family. The way it should be.  He totally wanted to go all out at this shoot, calling and planning and making the day a priority for Lisa and the kids  They really made me smile. True family love . Plus we got to do lots of shooting into the sun, which of course is my favorite past time and large pull to why people book me as their family photographer. Who does not love shooting into the sun! 🙂

Mom picked up some DARLING outfits for the kiddos from   Pumpkin Munchkin, Vindie Baby, Cozette Couture and The Measure Design . I will for sure be sending my clients their way! As you can tell, outfits really do make photo sessions better. That being said, it’s really the interaction between the kids and parents is what gets me. I have been shooting more and more family sessions, as my newborns are getting bigger, I have been around for a bit and I get to see them all grow up.  Sessions between parents and children are so special. I am not a big poser. I of course gently guide them as where to sit, what to do while sitting, I like to grab moments. My favorite response from clients is when they tell me, “wow, you really captured _ face that I only get to see at home. Thank you”.

 

Best. Job. Ever.

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 […]

Senior year always feels far away… until it suddenly isn’t. Being a St. Louis senior photographer is one of my favorite!

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, […]
