A Girl’s Best Friend | St. Louis Children’s Photographer

Lily has been asking me for a bunny Zhu Zhu pet for a couple months now and I finally agreed to go out and find one for her. Turns out that Zhu Zhus are lil’ toy hamsters that move around and make hamster noises. No bunny to be found. Well, at Target, right next to the Zhu Zhu pets there was a rabbit toy that looked JUST like the Zhu Zhu pets, except it was a furry carrot loving pet that moves around and makes cute lil’ bunny  noises. Lily is in heaven. She’s been taking very good care of her new pet and proudly named him Wiggles {she sometimes just calls him Zhu Zhu}. They play ball together, go down slides, swing on her swing set, race each other, cuddle and sleep together. Wiggles has gotten pretty dirty in the last few days from playing so hard outside, so we carefully bathed him on Sunday as well. Turns out that he loves popsicles, carrots, blueberry muffins and water. Oh, and he loves Lily’s Lambie as well. {don’t worry, Lambie isn’t going anywhere} The two of them even play Max and Ruby together.  So cute! Well, to my surprise, Lily asked me to get my camera and capture Wiggles the other day and then she decided she’d like to be in some of the pictures as well. Don’t worry…Wiggles was not injured in the process of making these pictures – Lily wouldn’t allow the swing to even move while he was on it alone. Safety first! So, without further ado…

Some bonds deserve to be remembered forever. 

When planning portrait sessions, I always encourage families to include the animals that hold such a special place in their hearts. They are part of your story too. 

This sweet girl adores her beloved horse and says he is “the most gentle, loving horse” she has ever known. Watching the two of them together was pure magic. The quiet connection, trust, and love between them is something worth documenting and cherishing for generations.

A quiet field, wildflowers in bloom, and that golden hour glow…the perfect setting to document this once-in-a-lifetime season before she headed to UGA.

These are the moments you’ll always want to remember.

Such an honor photographing this sweet girl for her sitting milestone session this morning. A true dream baby—full of smiles and the softest little coos.

We captured moments in the studio and then stepped outside into this beautiful spring light. This bassinet felt perfectly fitting for both her milestone and the season.

These first-year milestones pass in a blink… but they are the moments you’ll treasure forever.

“Lala Land” 

What started as a few messages between strangers turned into something so much more. Two sisters, two new friends… and a leap of faith that became a home.

Now, they’re not just roommates - they’re chosen family. A place filled with laughter, support, comfort, and the kind of connection that defines a freshman year.

The sweetest beginning to friendships that will last a lifetime.

When I asked this little girl where her favorite spots are on her home property, she mentioned the peonies out front. They were in full bloom and her little hands couldn’t resist them as she showed me some of her most beloved flowers. 

At sessions, I  always encourage incorporating the things your children love most into your portraits. These details may feel small now, but they become part of their story - their season, their wonder, their childhood. The result? Images that feel personal, meaningful, and timeless.
