ST. LOUIS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Intrigued?
Let’s make this easier.
You should not need 37 browser tabs, eight midnight shopping crashouts trying to coordinate everyone’s outfits, and a prayer that nobody loses their shit just to get family photos you love.
That’s my job. Not yours.
Getting Photos Shouldn't be so Damn difficult
Photos are meant to be Lived With










A DOWNLOAD FOLDER SHOULDN'T BE THE FINISH LINE.
The whole reason you’re doing this is because these people matter to you. You want these photographs to become part of your home and your family’s story — not another folder you swear you’ll do something with someday.
After your session, we’ll sit down together, choose the photographs you love and figure out what you actually want to do with them.
Maybe that’s an album your kids will pull off the shelf. Maybe it’s a giant framed photograph over your couch. Maybe it’s digital images you want to keep. Maybe it’s all three.
You don’t need to know yet. I’ll help you figure it out.
Photographer. Professional over-planner. And the person who is absolutely not bothered by your kid refusing to wear shoes.

I photograph families in St. Louis, but a pretty picture is only part of what I do.
Because I know getting everyone from “we should really get family photos” to actually having photographs you love can feel like a whole damn project.
So I built my studio to handle the project.
I’ll help you figure out what everyone is wearing. I’ll tell you what happens next. I’ll work with your kids exactly as they show up that day. And when we're done, I’ll help you actually do something with the photographs.
You do not need to show up knowing how any of this works.
That’s kind of the point.

WHAT WE OFFER
NEWBORN
Heirloom Albums & Custom wall art Designed for You, made to Live in your Home.
You’re not doing all of this just to end up with more pictures.
You want to see them. Hold them. Let your kids pull the album off the shelf for the hundredth time. Walk past that giant photograph in the hallway and remember exactly how little they were.
That’s why I help you turn the photographs you love into artwork that actually fits your life and your home. We’ll choose the images, sizes, frames and finishes together.
You don’t have to know what you want yet. I’ll help you figure it out.
