My sweet new nephew

I absolutely love photographing babies and I love photographing my family even more! Check out these newborn photos of my new nephew Oliver. He was a wiggler, but once he got settled he was out like a light. We had to do a photo of him on his name blanket just like his older brother and sister too.

Rainbow pastel one year old cake smash!

A team effort with the parents of this sweet girl to create this gorgeous setup for this cake smash session. I rented a local studio off Historic Main Street in St. Charles, MO and set up the balloon arch and cake. The birthday girl quickly dug into her cake made by her mom. It was so hard to narrow these down! The photos turned out so great. Happy first birthday to this girly!

Look what Santa brought!

Santa left the sweetest present under the tree for this family this year. Baylor was born about a month ago, but we were able to some special newborn shots just in time for Christmas!

This little man was so funny, he wanted to keep his hat over his eyes. He would nuzzle up into the hat until it was over his eyes - so cute and so funny! He slept almost the entire time too. These two were born for the camera. Thank you to this family for letting me capture these amazing kiddos of theirs.

Welcome to the world sweet baby Logan

My wonderful friend and her husband asked me to photograph their lovely family and newest addition. We did a sunset maternity session in a local sunflower field and a lifestyle newborn session in their home. Logan is so loved by his older siblings; look how sweet they are!

Cameron's Newborn Session

Another boy for the Curtis family! Cameron has an awesome big brother, Owen to take care of him and keep him safe. Congratulations to this sweet family!

Harper is Here!

This brand new baby girl is here! Meet Harper June with the grooviest nursery you’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stop taking photos of this cutie pie - there were so many fun sentimental things like a family treasured blue baby buggy that was passed down through generations and a special woven basket and more. Check out these favs from session.

Kohlberg Family Session

I can’t believe how these kids have grown since I last saw them! Photographing the same families year after year is so fun to see how the families change and grow. I have had the pleasure of taking this family’s photos since before the littlest one was born!

The Espenschied Family Session

Sometimes family photos don’t go quite as you planned because your little ones have a mind of their own! These two kiddos are so adorable and wild. Billy took a bit to get warmed up to the idea to get his photo taken and smile and have fun and his big sister Clara just wanted to run around and be free. That’s OK! Keep in mind that for littles, it’s so strange to have some stranger want them to be still and sit here and smile and take their photo. That’s why I always like to bring in some fun, be silly and try to capture the most genuine moments I can. I think we had a pretty awesome session don’t you think?!
