Baby Bliss | St. Louis Newborn Photographer

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!

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!!

I cannot tell you how many times we’ve been asked if we do studio work! Up until now, the answer has been “no”! Well, as any good photographer should do, I’ve been working to learn new things this winter so I can offer more to my clients and expand my work into other areas of photography. I have partnered up with my second photographer for weddings and super close photo pal, Heather, and we have been diligently trial and erroring our way through the studio set up process. We totally could plop someone on a white background and call it a day, but we want this to be special… something you don’t see every day… something that stops you in your tracks!

So, the good news is that we are making progress. The bad news is that we’re not quite where we want to be yet. We’ve got the lights and the “stuff” to go with it, but now we need some live people. We are looking for brand new babies (0-10 DAYS old) and babies who can support themselves sitting up, but who are not mobile yet. Yes, this may seem very specific, but we just need to test things out, and that will be difficult enough to do without chasing small people around! Don’t get us wrong, we love, love, love your humans of all ages, but we just need some solid practice. If you haven’t been following our escapades over at The Photo Junkies, it’s a must read. Hopefully you will laugh a little and enjoy our random goodness. So, without further ado, here it a bit of the progress we’ve made in the studio department.

For all interested, we are already starting to book up for the spring and will be adding studio to the mix probably sometime in March – so don’t wait too much longer to book your session!

{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!

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!

You may remember a shoot I did a few weeks back of a very cute little boy (see my website header) and his very pregnant mommy! Â Well, little baby A has finally arrived and WOW, what a beauty! Â Enjoy!

I could not have asked for an easier family to work with! Â JÂ was an absolute doll and the boys totally cracked me up! Â There is nothing better to work with than a funny, funny family!

I love that I have friends who produce beautiful babies. Little babies, big babies, they are all beautiful! It may have something to do with the fact that I have beautiful mommy friends (and subsequently daddies), but I have been patiently waiting to get my hands on one of those babies for a shoot! Ask and you shall receive…
