Spring in St. Louis Makes for Beautiful Baby Portraits

Look who just turned ONE! Congrats baby R on your first birthday. What a beautiful time of year for baby portraits in St. Louis! All of the trees are in full bloom right now, which really adds to outdoor photography. This lil’ man has already been walking for a couple of months already, which is pretty amazing! Such a difference from his fall baby photo session where he was more interested in tasting leaves and was just starting to figure out crawling. His mom did a great job coordinating outfits for their family portraits all the way down to the lace of baby R’s shoes! We picked this particular location because mom mentioned that her favorite thing about this time of year are the blooming trees, especially magnolia trees. The pink flowers of these trees are just heavenly and delicately romantic. Most magnolia trees have branches that are higher off the ground, but this particular location had a couple of trees where the blooms almost caressed the top of the earth. Perfect for photographing babies who are lower to the ground! Baby R seemed to really like the flowers and enjoyed running around the blooms and having some play time with his parents. I picked this particular image for this family’s sneak peek for several reasons. First, I love how the magnolia tree blooms surround mom and baby acting almost like confetti celebrating baby R’s birthday! I also love how R’s blue eyes really stand out on his sweet face. Finally, I adore how even though he walks very well on his own and is showing independence, he still loves the connection of mom’s hands from time-to-time. The way R is holding onto him mom’s two fingers and how her other fingers gently surround his hands in comfort just melt my heart. It’s such a simple gesture that has so much meaning. Love, care, trust, tenderness and support all in one. These are also traits that carry on through life. Things we all need. I know baby R will always have these elements in his life as he grows up with his parents who just adore their little boy. Congrats and enjoy your sneak peek. Much more beautiful images to come.

Nothing like a sleeping baby! Sometimes when a little one is having problems falling (or staying asleep) a swaddle can be a wonderful tool. Gives little ones comfort and a reminder of being in the womb. It is why I do a lot of swaddled images during a newborn session. Plus it is just precious!

A common question I get regarding heirloom sessions is what is the best age for these type of portraits. 

Heirloom photography is a classic way to document your child between the ages of 1-10. Many families choose a specific age depending on when they had their own portraits done as a child or when they feel is most fitting to start the tradition themselves. 

The most popular age I see clients for their heirloom photography session is between three and four years old. This is the age range where the child can take some direction and is attentive. They still have those precious filled out faces and adorable child features that just don’t last. I have quite a few parents bring their one year old in for this timeless portraits as well.

Many families choose to do a few sessions at various ages to show the growth of their child and put together a composite photographic wall art piece.

Still cannot decide when the best age would be for your child/children? Send me a message and I am more than happy to help you out!

Spring is here and with that comes all the beauty in full bloom. How fitting for maternity portraits! New life surrounded by new life. 

This is the perfect time for pregnancy photos if you are in your third trimester! It isn't too hot or humid yet and boy is it pretty out there. Whether you are looking for a manicured garden, a flowering field, a wooded area, a place with water, or something with some architecture, you cannot go wrong! Fresh greens and flowering plants are everywhere. 

Send me a message to book your session today!

We sure have some pretty buildings around here. This is a noticeable landmark in Madison, GA on the square. Love walking around this historic town - exploring the shops, dining in their restaurants and enjoying some French pastries. Lots of local gems.
