Read MoreFall is fast approaching here in the midwest… at least on the calendar! I have noticed over the years as fall family portrait season approaches, that clients are searching for a different kind of setting. The first thing I recommend is a family portrait session in the city. St. Louis has an awesome downtown with all kinds of nooks and crannies. You can get all doors with character, a sunset from the parking garage and a view of skyscrapers all within a few steps!
Read MoreCan you believe that summer is half way over?!? Let’s keep those summertime vibes flying high! For a limited time only, grab a gorgeous, petite Wildflower Session! These are truly like a St. Louis midsummer night’s dream. What I love about these kinds of sessions is that they are a great compliment to family sessions taken at other times during the year. This is a setting that can’t be offered during any other season…
Read MoreTHIS St. Louis family. Does it get much cuter? Seriously. Give me all the curly hair, summer dresses and sun flair! When people ask what my photography style is my answer is simple: I want to capture a family like I would like my own family to be captured. That is a simple yet layered answer…
