FamilY Photography
custom Family Photographer Serving the Greater St Louis and Southern Illinois Regions
The power of family portraits is not truly felt until the time those images were taken has passed us by. Often, my husband has grumped about photos at the same time as insisting on them because he knows that in even just a year from now, those photos are so precious. They are a little time capsule of everyone in our family as we were. They are memory to hold and look at when we lose the ones we love. Here, I specialize in capturing the timeless beauty and essence of your family. My family photography sessions are designed to create stunning portraits that will be treasured for generations to come.

I am a print photographer.
What does that mean? I do not include prints, products, or digitals with my session fee. I truly believe in the magic that happens when you hold those images in your hands and see them on your walls. I know how busy life gets with kids. I know how easy it is to push printing those images to tomorrow, next week, next year... never. I'm here to take that off of your plate and make life a little less stressful for you.

the experience
We'll meet up for a consultation before you even book to discuss what your vision is for your session and what you would like to do with your images afterwards. This doesn't lock you into anything, but it helps me to guide the session to make sure that everything turns out as it needs to in order to best display your beautiful photographs after the fact! After you pick a date, I will send the contract and an invoice for the nonrefundable deposit. We will then plan out all of the details, from color palettes to outfits to location so that everything is easy and stress-free. During the session, you'll be able to relax and and enjoy the session, knowing we've got it all planned out. I do mix of posed and candid images, and provide you with direction, so that you know you will look your best. After the session, I will upload your final edited images into a gallery for you to order from. I will help you to narrow down your favorites and customize your print and product options, so that you get exactly what you want and need. My ultimate goal is to create beautiful images that end up being artwork displayed in your home, whether on the wall or in a album on your coffee table, and to make the process as easy as I can for you.
