St. Louis MO Family Photographer | Kirkwood family

Sep

08

This photo shoot ALMOST didn’t happen. This darling family, was the family that won a full photo session with me, almost a year ago, when I first moved to St. Louis from Chicago. Writing on this blog post, Kirkwood family photographer is pretty fun. My family actually lives in Wildwood. I consider myself a St. Louis family photographer though, as I grew up here as a kid. A native to Chesterfield, having attended Parkway West (yes I know you were curious), it has been awesome being home. I can’t believe I have been here now for a YEAR! I would never have dreamed St. Louis would welcome me like you all have.

So this super fun shoot took place in downtown Kirkwood. I kid you not, when we pulled up, so did some MASSIVE black clouds. It was about to pour, but that was not going to stop us. We all hustled, and got the shoot done in 30 minutes. We of course had a ton of fun while we were at it.  On the way back to our cars, it started POURING. I mean pouring. It as perfect timing.

Back in Chicago, I loved doing urban shoots, so this was really fun for me. The last one I did was for Y98 (which will be blogged soon). I had a ton of fun with that one as well! It’s so much fun having a job that lets me get creative and not do the same thing over and over. I love all of you for trusting me with some creative ideas, so as to give your families some shots you can keep forever.

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, […]

This baby needs no introduction. Clearly his hair speaks for itself. 🙂 I LOVE simple newborn sessions. Each one will go totally differently depending on how sleepy they are, when they arrived, etc etc.  When photographing newborns we will do so about day 10 through about day 21 (ish).  We have many come early and […]

SO MUCH HAIR! :) Simple Newborn Shoot
