St. Louis Maternity Photographer | Precious Cargo!

What a difference a day can make! Anyone who knows St. Louis understands that the weather can change in an instant and that has certainly been the case lately. Less than a week ago it was almost 80 degrees and then Saturday we had about five inches of snow. The very next day, all the snow was gone and unfortunately so were the pretty pink flowers on some of the local trees. So sad as I was wanting to incorporate those Spring trees in this couple’s maternity session yesterday. No worries though…we found Spring around us in other ways. These weeping willows were fresh and green for us! We even found an area with a rows of white flowered trees! Sure it was quite chilly, but that didn’t seem to phase this mom-to-be in the slightest. She even changed into tank tops and bared her belly for some shots! Her husband was such the gentleman by warming her up with his coat and my blanket. After all, as he pointed out, there’s precious cargo there! I agree! These two couldn’t be more loving and sweet towards each other. You’d think they were still honeymooners instead of being together since college undergrad. Their baby is going to be one lucky girl for sure. Congrats and I can’t wait to meet the lil’ one! Until then…enjoy the sneak peek.

When is the best time for a newborn session? 

For those tiny, curled-up, super sleepy images, I usually recommend the first two weeks.

But honestly… there’s no wrong time to document a new baby.

Many of my families choose to schedule their session around six weeks. By then baby is a little bigger, often more wide-eyed and curious, and parents and siblings are usually more rested and settling into their new rhythm.

You may still get some sleepy moments — just a little less curled up.

Every stage of these early days is beautiful and worth remembering.

One day your children will look for photos of you together.

Not the perfect moments — the real ones. The laughter. The closeness. The way you held them in this season of life.

Be in the frame. These are the photographs they will treasure most.

Spring in Georgia is fleeting — the blossoms, the soft greens, the golden evening light. 🌿🌸

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family portraits, now is the season. My spring calendar is filling quickly and peak bloom only lasts a few short weeks.

Reserve your session before the blossoms fade.

Have you noticed all the blooms lately?! This is my absolutely favorite time of year. It is  the time when things come back to life with all their beauty. Every day seems like Christmas where you are opening gifts from Mother Nature. This is just the beginning!!! Cannot wait to experience all that is yet to come.

One of my favorite locations is almost ready for pretty cherry tree blossom sessions! Every year is a little different - sometime the blooms are pink and other years they are the palest of pink. Lighting is perfect, lots of trees to give dimension and plenty of room to explore, cuddle and move. 

If you would like to take advantage of what Spring brings us every year, contact me as soon as possible. Once these trees bloom, they don't last long.

Timing is everything when it comes to beach portrait sessions.

There’s a reason I plan my sessions for the edges of the day. Right before sunrise and just before sunset, the sun sits low on the horizon, wrapping everything in soft, golden light. It’s flattering, gentle on skin tones, and creates that dreamy glow you simply can’t replicate at noon. The wind calms, the beach feels peaceful, and the magic naturally unfolds.

This sweet mother-daughter moment was captured on Jekyll Island at Driftwood Beach just as the sun was rising — when the sky turns pastel and the reflections shimmer along the shoreline.

When you trust the light, you get images that feel timeless, effortless, and full of heart.
