Hello there!

My name is Jennifer and I'm a lifestyle newborn, family and portrait photographer serving the St. Louis, MO area. I want to give you a fun, stress-free photo experience that results in gorgeous images you'll cherish for years to come. Sound too good to be true? I don't think so!




Forget everything you know about the traditional portrait experience. No department stores, no cheesy backdrops, no confusing "package deals."

"I love that you captured real smiles"

"I loved how you interacted with the kids. There was no lull, you just kept them engaged."

"My oldest was very resistant to having photos made & you captured some amazing photos of him with his real smile"

"I love having these photos displayed in our home"

"you made my daughter very comfortable in front of the camera."

"All of their personalities were captured perfectly!"

"You put my girls at ease and they had a great time"

The value and beauty of printed photos.

I'm a big believer that your photos deserve to be enjoyed off of your computer screen, displayed in your home and treasured every day. A picture is worth a thousand words, and it is my hope is that when your child sees his or her portrait hanging in your home, they will hear that they are important, beautiful, and loved. Because of this, I offer a wide variety of prints and products that you can purchase directly from your photo gallery! 

A simple backdrop with beautiful, soft light puts all the focus on your child's face and personality.

Portraits don't have to be stiff, awkward or forced.
