Baby Bliss | St. Louis Newborn Photographer

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:47:07 +0000

I don’t have the chance to do a ton of newborn and family photography these days, but when a good friend or past client calls, I definitely find some time! I headed up to Chicago this past weekend to meet the utterly adorable Isabella! And considering her last name is Bliss… I can see why my good friend Jen and her hubs Mark are in Baby Bliss! Luckily for MY hubs I was able to get my snuggles and baby love in while I was visiting!

For those of you looking for prints, check out little Miss Isabelle’s gallery in our online store as well as her personal website!

First, check out this super cute video with a few little surprises for Mark and Jen (make sure to select 720pHD in the lower right corner for the best viewing experience!)! Enjoy!

I can hardly believe that little Julia is the big 0-2. I remember her mom, Michelle, waddling around in the sweltering summer heat like it was yesterday!! :) Fast forward two years and tiny Julia is a rompin’, stompin’ two year old who can hold her own amongst her rowdy clan! It seems every year we end up in the playroom either because of the heat, or this year the rain! Regardless, there is nothing to stop us from having a blast, telling “yo mama” jokes, and getting some great pics! These are almost all of the images from the session, but they turned out so well I couldn’t choose… and Michelle’s sister was visiting from Dallas and I wanted to make sure she got to see a good chunk before heading back! Enjoy!

Dear Internets… I Love My Neighbors | Sneak Peek

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 23:44:51 +0000

Oh how I love my neighbors… let me count thy ways! No, seriously – they are the best neighbors a girl could have! So when they asked if I could come over and grab a few pictures while they had family in town, of course I said yes! I wish I had more time to sit and chat without my three wonky kids around as one of the sister’s was visiting from Africa where she is a missionary! How amazing is that? Maybe next time she travels 1/3 of the way around the world (or however far that is) the hubs will be in town so I can go get chatty with my fave neighbors! :) I couldn’t post anything else for their sneak peek because this is SO them! It’s a framer for sure! :))

Okay… I just had to add this one! LOVE! :)

MacAllister | Studio

As if his name is not stellar enough, I’m pretty sure Mr. M. could hold his own amongst a room full of rowdy toddlers! The little dude was not feeling his best today, but powered through nonetheless and allowed us to sneak in a few shots. Mom and Dad did an AMAZING job of trusting Heather to snuggle and rock their little guy despite having a bit of tummy turmoil! He was totally and completely zonked by the time they were ready to leave, and hopefully he will sleep a nice loooooong time for mom and dad this evening!!

Well, the studio is in full swing now and we were so excited to have my friend Tena come in with her three GOHR-geous kids to help us test out the lights for groups. Looks like everything went well, there were no tears, AND I think Tena got a little break by having two extra sets of hands in myself and Heather!

So, we moved to Hilly Haven Court three and a half years ago. We loved the mature trees, the manicured lawns, and the general Cleaver-esque feel to the street. What we didn’t know was that the lawns were manicured because everyone was either retired and had time to manicure said lawns, or they had older children who they had groomed to become their lawn slaves. We should have looked for untrimmed edges and hedges, sun-worn toys, and sidewalk chalk artwork! Needless to say, we are constantly referred to as being “babies” (not in the whiny sense, but in the I-could-be-your-mother sense) and our children are the only nappers on the block… until last month! We have new neighbors! They are not permanent, but we will take it! They have three kids very similar in age to our younger two and they are transplants from Wisconsin – right up our alley! The kids have played together a few times and late yesterday afternoon I finally broke down and busted out the camera – it’s hard to refrain from constantly taking pictures, but I didn’t want to scare them off, so I’ve tempered my photo addiction until now! I’m surprised mom didn’t look at me and say ENOUGH ALREADY at some point – once I start, I just can’t stop!!

{Welcome, Baby C}

I am so excited to announce the arrival of Baby C! While I’m not typically a newborn photographer, I definitely will partake in this venture for any of my good friends… and I am very fortunate that my friends make b-e-a-utiful babies! Baby C is just another in the long line of lovely little ones produced by my fab mommy crew! Congratulations to the C family!

{The Littlest Man}

I recently purchased a new speedlight for my camera and of course subjected my kids to the testing of my new gadget! While the older two ran for the hills, my littlest man was more than happy to steal my hat and work his magic. He is on the verge of no longer looking like a baby/toddler, and I know with great certainty that some day soon I will look back on pictures like this and wish for the days of diapers, tantrums, and runny noses!

Introducing baby “O”… just eight days old! Â His mom has been friends with my sister since their days at Western Illinois University and now lives pretty close to me here in the St. Louis area. Â I love newborn sessions because as I was telling his mom today, I can get my baby fix… and then hand them back to mom and dad after a solid three hours of cuddling and snuggling and head home to my own sleeping-through-the-night children! Â He is so adorable, stay tuned for more pics!

This is little *C* who will be six months old in December! Â Boy do I miss this age – they are so happy and immobile!
