St. Louis Pregnancy Photographer | Expecting in the City!

April 5, 2011

This maternity photography session in St. Louis City was so much fun. I was so inspired by the architecture by our urban setting and found beautiful light as well as backgrounds everywhere! I love the variety we could get in such a short walking distance and I could have honestly kept shooting for hours there. Just so many neat little areas that would be perfect for portraits. Courtney was so great to work with and even brought her dear husband along who helped her cross ice, assisted in wardrobe changes and watched his beautiful wife with such love. Congrats to the new parents!

Wondering where to do your portrait session? Let me help you with that!

Of course, you can always choose your property or other favorite location for your photos, but sometimes you want something different.

I offer location scouting for all my sessions. All my clients fill out a questionnaire that asks questions to help me get an idea of your vision, style and wants. I then think of places that I think would be a good fit and head out to ensure things are looking good. Many times I need to find an alternative, so I drive (sometimes hike) and keep my eyes peeled until I find what I am looking for.

Sometimes you may be looking for something that only happens once a year. Luckily, since I am always looking at the landscape and how light hits certain areas, I also know when locations bloom, change color, and are ideal for particular looks. In those cases, let me know exactly what you are envisioning and I can suggest the best time to book your session.

I always keep in mind all family members when seeking out a location and have even had my husband build a ramp to help a wheelchair get into place. Just let me know if there are any limitations or concerns so I can help things go as smoothly as possible.

Location scouting and finding backdrops that will complement your final photographic artwork is something I enjoy! So happy to be able to help my clients in this way.

This couple`s engagement photo session was such a joy to photograph over the weekend. It was supposed to rain, but luckily the weather shifted in our favor and it ended up being a beautiful sunny evening with milder temps than expected. Gotta love that!

I had the great opportunity to do some content creation photography for the local store, Bird & Brass. Local artist, Erika Pfluke, is a lover of birds and nature. Her entire store reflects that. She hand paints bibles, for men and women, showcasing her talent and passions. She needed some branding images of her work for a venture with a bible company, which is where I came in.

I had put together a storyboard for her along with a list of suggested items that would be perfect for her branding images - from wardrobe, paints, furniture, paint on apron, to accessories. She loved the ideas and we went for it!

We decided to do her content creation photography session in her yard so that she did not have to haul her art too far and to be in a place that in comfortable to her. The outdoor session is also fitting for her artwork of flowers and birds. Nothing like painting nature in nature.

If you have not checked out Bird & Brass in Watkinsville, make sure to stop by or check them out online. You can purchase bibles online - preprinted or custom painted. Make sure to say hi to Erika. She is the sweetest and most welcoming person.

This picture was taken when my daughter was a freshman in high school and yesterday we moved her to college as a freshman at Georgia College and State University. Surreal.

I have such mixed emotions. I am incredibly proud and excited for her, but I will miss her immensely. I kept things together until I left the dorm room and got into the parking lot. That is when it hit me that she moved out and I wouldn`t see her on the daily anymore.

I will miss our daily talks, her play by plays of her day, nightly favorite Tik Tok watches, our walks and hearing her sing, laugh and talk. I will really miss our laughs. Man, we can laugh!

I am looking forward to hearing all about her adventures and insights on college life. This is a new chapter, but not the end of the book.

This is exactly what Michael and I raised Lily to be able to do. Leave the nest and be an independent adult who can make her own dreams come alive. Lucky to be able to witness it all unfold and support her in life.

So proud to be this gals mom. Could not have asked for a better daughter. Lucky to have gained a friend too

Congratulations baby girl! Love you to the moon and back and for more than eternity.

When you book a session with me you receive wardrobe advice and guidance. Everyone receives a style guide and if you need more assistance I am here to help!

Perhaps you have one outfit in mind for yourself, or another family member, but aren`t sure what everyone else should wear. Send me a picture of that one outfit along with sizes of the rest of your crew and I can send you pictures and links with suggested items for everyone to bring it all together. Kind of like your own personal shopper!

Maybe you want to use items you already have, but don`t know where to start. I can send you a storyboard along with a color palette to help with inspiration. If you get stuck, send me pictures, do a video call where we walk through your closet, or, if you are local, I can stop on by and go through your wardrobe and pick things for you.

I always keep the location, your home decor, your family`s personal style and where finished artwork will be displayed in mind.

Let me take some of the stress away from you when planning your portrait session. I am always here to help you where I can. Don`t ever hesitate to reach out!

It is officially senior portrait season! The final year of high school starts tomorrow here in Oconee County. Hope rain doesn`t hinder the painting of the cars and tomorrow morning`s sunrise gathering. Such fun and milestones this school year. Enjoy it all and soak it in. I swear, it really goes by in a flash.
