Dambach Family Sneak Peek

Lewis Family Sneak Peek

Lewis family sneak peek is here, and I loved meeting a new family. This sweet couple is celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! Such a wonderful milestone. Congratulations!

Matt Family Part 2

Stephanie first contacted me and had a specific vision for doing fall photos with a trail or gravel road. I think I delivered that vision :) I love it when my clients want something specific, and I get to work with that and make it a reality.

The Matt Family - part 1

I might have a new favorite spot to photograph - ok maybe any of the spots I have been finding lately are my favorites, and I cannot stop these sessions on time either. This sweet family was willing to stay a bit extra and venture into this field to do a few more photos. I LOVE how they turned out. Part one of this sneak peek; part two is coming soon!

She is EIGHT!

Loved photographing at this location. Indian Camp Creek had this gorgeous field with a little trail and a wooden fence nearby. We did a simple setup with my wooden backdrop, a few cupcakes, a number eight balloon, and voila! Happy birthday!

Klondike Park family session

Absolutely magical - Klondike Park did NOT disappoint. This family hadn't booked a session with me before, and it was my first session ever at this location. This is probably one of my favorite sessions EVER. I couldn’t stop taking photos. I ended up taking over 800 images over this hour and finally narrowed some down to share with you.

Much better

This was a redo session - yep, I said hey I am not 100% happy with the photos I delivered to you. Would you let me try again? They were flexible with me and understanding, and I so appreciate these kinds of clients!

I want you to LOVE your images; I want to LOVE them too!

And these - I am definitely happy with.

Creek Family Session

My family has been so blessed to have the best teacher to help watch for milestones, provide activities, and be a priceless resource. I wanted to say thank you to Ms. Lina and photograph her beautiful family. They hadn’t had family photos done in years and it was so fun to be able to give back to her a little bit.

Sunflower mini sessions - July 17

These were taken in some bright sun on into the sunset and boy was it a HOT evening in July! Thank you all for enduring the heat and sun with me to get some awesome images in the sunflowers 🌻

My babies in the sunflowers

Had to go test out the lighting and timing at the sunflower fields the other day. It was gorgeous, and my sweet kiddos were good sports. It’s not their favorite thing to have their mama chase them around and try to get them to smile and look at the camera. I couldn’t pick less than what you see here in this gallery - I may be biased, but they are too cute!!

Wildflower and free family session

Such a fun family session! Four generations with great grandma, grandma, mom, and boys. We had the fluffiest dog in the photos, who was such a big sweetheart. I got lots of great candids and just let the family have fun together. The weather was surprisingly not too warm and just beautiful. I hope to have more sessions just like this one.

Baby bump session in Forest Park

It was such a gorgeous evening in Forest Park when I met this beautiful family to take their maternity and family photos. The sun was absolutely perfect. We originally planned for the session to be on Saturday, and it had rained almost all day that day, so we rescheduled it, and I am so glad we did!
I am so happy for this couple to be expecting another baby girl in just a few weeks. Congratulations to the Weiss family!

Mama + Me sneak peek

This was a quick, sweet session with Mary, her mama, and her grandma. Mary was a bit contrary and did not want anything to do with me or my camera - it was a challenge, but I think I got some really cute ones, and I had fun trying to snap the pictures quickly or when she wasn’t paying attention. Congratulations to this mama and soon-to-be big sister!

Bay family favorites

Can’t believe I started photographing these two when they got engaged, and now they have the sweetest toddler who completely steals the show.

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is getting to watch families grow through every season of life. And honestly? Toddler sessions are some of my absolute favorites. There’s no pressure for perfect posing — it’s all about running around, playing peekaboo, giggling nonstop, and capturing those real little moments in between.

The belly laughs, tiny hands reaching up, swinging through the air, and the pure joy toddlers bring always make these sessions feel so perfect. These are the moments parents never want to forget, and I’m so grateful I get to freeze them in time.

Haggert extended family sneak peek

Here’s a sneak peek into the gallery from the Haggerty extended family session. We met at Laumeier Sculpture Park, and there were so many beautiful spots for photos that it was hard to choose! I’m still getting back into the rhythm of selecting the very best locations for light, but depending on the sun’s position—and how the subject is placed in relation to it—you can create so much variety in the way your images look.

Photos with Waffles in May

I had so much fun meeting new people and seeing familiar faces in these sessions. It was a gorgeous evening, even though there was the threat of rain. The clouds ended up delivering the most beautiful sunset and golden lighting.

Tiny humans and a fluffy cow

Tiny humans. One very fluffy cow. Absolute magical chaos

These mini-sessions with Waffles, the mini Highland cow from Meyer Mini Farms, were equal parts unpredictable and unforgettable. Littles tend not to sit still or could be crying or laughing, cows who are literally created to eat grass and not pose perfectly, and right in between the wiggles, snack bribes, and hungry cow moments—genuine cuteness you couldn’t pose if you tried.

Proof that perfection is overrated—and the real magic lives in the fun, chaotic moments, and I just can’t get enough of this cuteness! See some favorites from each session:

Tulip Trail at Eckerts

Daffodils

Keith and Katie, and their girls, are cousins on my husband’s family’s side, and I was so delighted they asked me to shoot their family session. It took a couple of different tries, rescheduled due to weather issues, but the weather finally cooperated on our 3rd try! I got so lucky with finding this beautiful little patch of daffodils to do these family photos in, too. Please enjoy a few of my favorites from this session.
