Well .. normal photographers pick and share just a few photos from a session for IG.. but honestly … and maybe it’s because I’m a mom first … there was just no way. 🤣❤️. This is only half of what I wanted to share of this darling family .. I’ll have to get them up on the blog where we can actually do this session justice.

I know my style is not for those looking for props… but if you love clean, minimalistic , neutrals and true natural interaction … I’ve got you ❤️..

How is this my job?!! 😍

Mother's day minis are live! The link went out first to my newsletter group last night. If you are on there make sure to check it out! If you are not, here is the link to grab a spot. I have decided to do 1/2 minis so I can accomodate more of you since we sold out last year. I always overshoot so you can upgrade to the normal mini after you see your images if you want to.

I cant wait for these film like minis this year!!! I have been wanting to do these forever!

I’ve been wanting to do these for a while and I’m really excited about them!

Simple Mother’s Day {discounted} minis with soft light, a little film-style grain, and one linen backdrop.

Nothing complicated — just photos of you with your kids.

These will work whether your kids are little or big. The only requirement is that you’re in the photo with them. 🫶

I’ll be helping with styling too since certain tones, textures, and minimalist clothing will photograph especially well with this setup.

If you’re on my VIP client newsletter list, the booking link will go out tonight before I open them to the public.
If not, you can find it here!

I can’t wait to photograph these — a little different, with film-style grain, minimalist styling, and still super classic.

So excited I get to see this beauty in a few weeks! For her senior photo shoot they decided to book a sunset session over the summer and then one down in the loop this spring! Think record stores and urban amazingness! I’m so excited!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥. It was hard to pick some for IG- once we have her next shoot I’ll do a big blog post! She’s soooooo much fun!!!!!

I love newborns. Obviously. 🥰

But if I’m being honest? It’s the connection that gets me. With parents. With siblings.

So today’s post is really about that.

It’s also why I photograph newborns in a more natural way. Clean studio. Neutral tones. No big setups. I just want the focus to stay on how you are together.
Because that’s what you’ll actually notice when you look back.

And it’s one of the reasons I love those “older newborn” sessions too. When baby is a little more aware, you get more interaction between them.

If your baby is already here and you didn’t book during pregnancy — don’t stress. Just reach out.
It’s not too late. 🫶… sometimes the older baby sessions end up being some of my favorite 😍.

Your daily reminder that it’s always a good idea to bring in the puppy to the studio for a mini session 🥰🐶

Loved having these girls in for a fun mini shoot! Since I’m a boy mom, anytime I get to be around girls is a bonus for me 😃

This was such a great idea for birthday ! Nothing better than documenting your friendships. They will look back and remember theses times at 16 as some of the best of their life 🥰

A few highlights ….

I love simple quick studio mini sessions to capture every age - kids as kids. Adore this kiddo to death- she’s been coming in for years and had to pop in before their move across the country! 🥰

Pulled these out of the archives today 🌼

Claire graduated a few years ago, but this session is still one of my spring favorites — photographed in April when the daffodils were in full bloom and the light was just right.

Spring sunset sessions for families opened this morning and we’ve already booked about half of the available dates.

If you have a 2026 senior, now’s a great time to reach out — spring dates fill fast and we’ll want to get photos done well before graduation. 👩🏻‍🎓

Up on the blog! Can’t wait for this upcoming season of Seniors! 🥰 (i know ifs hard to wrap your brain around before junior year is even over lol.

Make sure to reach out to get the date and time frame you need. I booked a bunch today after I opened our schedule 🙂 note: we know schedules fluctuate the next few months and know we will need to maybe move a date around. Don’t worry, I hold a certain amount so we can navigate when more summer schedules come out 🙂..

St. Louis senior photographer offering spring and summer senior photos for the Class of 2026 and 2027 across the St. Louis area.

Class of 2027 — it’s your turn.
And Class of 2026 — spring is still an option.

Spring and summer really are such a good time for senior photos. Schedules are easier, the light is beautiful, and it all feels a little less rushed before senior year fully kicks in.

For the seniors —
This session is about you. Your style, your vibe, and what actually feels like you. Whether that’s outdoors, urban, in the studio, or somewhere you already love, we’ll plan it together so nothing feels awkward or forced. And yes — I’ll help with styling so outfits don’t turn into a last-minute stress spiral.😆

For the parents —
Booking earlier just makes everything easier. You get first pick of dates, less to juggle during the school year, and a calm, organized experience from start to finish.

Senior year always feels far away… until it suddenly isn’t.
It really does come faster than expected. 🫶
