Lovely evening catching up with this sweet family in the sunflower fields at Columbia Bottom Conservation Area. This was my second shoot out there this summer, and I had not visited in previous years. It is beautiful!!!
These kids have some big milestones coming up, one starting high school and one starting 8th grade year. It is so important to capture your family at every stage of life. I am so happy we could document this special time for all of them. Enjoy your peek!
5 Reasons Why You Should Book A Family Photo Session During The Summer
You might be thinking that summer is way too hot for a family photo session, or too early to shoot your holiday card photos. Fall is the most popular season to shoot in the St. Louis area of course! The reality, though, is that you have likely had photo sessions during the fall season in the past, maybe every year! Summer is a great time to create fresh art for your walls and document family, newborns, children and high school seniors during a different season. Here’s why…
Summertime is so colorful and is an amazing time to schedule your photo session. The flowers are blooming and the landscaping is so green and well maintained.
With summer sessions there's no stress of having to make room in your schedule for planning, shopping, and all the extra stuff that shows up on the calendar when school begins! The kids are also more relaxed and have the ability to sleep in or take a longer nap, making it possible to shoot later in the evening in that gorgeous golden sunset light.
Okay, it does get pretty hot and humid in St. Louis, BUT my schedule is also more flexible. We can book a date, but I always keep an eye on the weather for cool days. I am more flexible in the summer to move sessions around for weather. Plus early morning and late evening shoots are pretty comfortable even on the hot days.
There are so many great clothing options during the summer. The kids will be happy in shorts and sun dresses. You can skip the shoes and the kids can go barefoot. It is much easier to dress the kids in summer clothes than pants and bulky sweaters.
Sessions are amazing throughout the year, but it is nice to shoot a variety of seasons for your family memories! And yes, you can still use those summer photos for your holiday cards.
Welcome to the world Caroline! I was so happy to finally meet this sweet girl. Born during the week everything shut down in St. Louis due to Covid-19. We were scheduled to shoot a fresh 48 after delivery, but just when she arrived visitors were no longer allowed in the hospitals. Now 4 months old, and the cutest baby! I am so happy we finally got to spend time documenting your family.
Welcome to the world sweet Ezra! It was wonderful to see this family again and meet their new addition. They have had so many exciting changes the past few months with a move to St. Louis, and the birth of this little guy. Enjoy a peek of their lifestyle newborn session at home.
A perfect afternoon for a summer mini session with this beautiful family! I love working with them…it is always so much fun and full of giggles with these 4 sisters. We started in the front yard of their gorgeous home, documenting the baby who just turned 1. The session ended in the backyard pool!

Happy Father’s Day to all of the awesome dads out there. Some of my favorite photos are dads interacting with their kids. Always jumping in to make them laugh, or ready to swing them around and toss them up in the air! Enjoy your special day today.
As St. Louis county began to open up after two months of staying at home, I decided to jump in with front porch mini sessions like many of my fellow photographers were doing. It has been a wonderful way to connect with many clients again. Documenting each family in front of their home, where they had just spent so much time together. The simplicity of pulling up in front of their house and shooting in their front yard, driveway, front porch and some backyards was wonderful. I love these sessions, and their children will cherish these photos when they look back on this crazy time!

New images for St. Peter Catholic Church in Kirkwood, Missouri. A fresh website is in the works for this vibrant parish. I was able to document a live streamed mass during the Covid-19 shutdown and the church was empty. I am looking forward to documenting all of the wonderful people of this community in the church someday soon.
