St. Louis Children’s Photographer | My Lil’ Lady

I joined a 52 week challenge with a group of photographers where every week we have an “assignment” based on a theme. This week’s theme is high key. I decided to capture my lil’ lady, Lily. She was already playing with my jewelry on my bed and had fallen asleep, so it was an easy task. Funny how she didn’t seem surprised when she woke up to the sound of my camera shutter. (hmmmm….I wonder why that would be?!) Check out those last two images…she has three teeth all hanging in by a thread and so the next time I take a picture of her I’m sure her smile will be totally different. 🙂 Technically, these aren’t really high key, so I cheated a bit, but I decided to be a rebel and break the rules.

Love this area of the historic district of Jekyll Island. Pretty walkways, roads, buildings, trees and scenery. It is like taking a step back in time in many ways. I have been photographing my daughter in this exact location for the last few summers and it never disappoints.

There is something about the ocean in black and white that feels both quiet and dramatic.

In this image from Jekyll Island, the clouds along the horizon almost become their own landscape, while the waves rolling onto shore add movement, texture and depth. A simple beach scene, but one that feels timeless.

What a beautiful way to spend part of summer break - studying, writing papers and taking quizzes while tucked away on Jekyll Island. Not a bad “classroom” at all.

She is heading into her sophomore year at GCSU, and this portrait felt like the perfect way to mark the season - relaxed, confident and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Jekyll Island’s historic district, with live oaks and Spanish moss framing the moment.

Had the best time photographing this beautiful girl on Jekyll Island this past week. 

Her mom dreamed of soft clouds, magical color, gentle ocean waves and a calm evening without too much wind - and Jekyll delivered.

It was the sweetest way to begin the week and such a special reminder that preteen portraits deserve to feel just as meaningful, beautiful and timeless.
