I am so happy to be FINALLY blogging this in-home family lifestyle session. I spent a lovely morning with my sweet and extremely talented friend Felise, of Felise Waxman Photography. We both have such a love for lifestyle photography so I knew this session would be one of my favorites.

Lifestyle newborn sessions are some of my favorite sessions. No two sessions are a like! Some are quiet and calm, yet others are energetic and loud! Each family brings a unique vibe and style to their session and that’s what I LOVE! My job as your photographer is to capture YOUR family as they are, not to make you look like a pinterest perfect family.

I know I have said before but I will say it again, Fresh 48s are hands down my favorite sessions! The emotions that are present in these sessions are so raw and real. As a new mom, you try to memorize every little detail of your new baby while fighting the pain and sleep deprivation that comes those first few days after delivery. I try to capture all those little details about a newborn that you want remember but that often change so quickly!

From the moment that Lindsey contacted me for her twin girl newborn session, I was excited! Who doesn’t love twins? I remember bringing home my first baby boy and how long it took my husband and I to get into that parenting groove. That is why I am always in awe of twin parents! They seem to really get into that groove so much quicker. Lindsey and Mike were no different.

This baby girl rocked her 7 month milestone session. She was all smiles for most of our in home session! This age is so great to capture. They are still so young but have such a sweet personality and are changing so much. Plus, all those sweet baby rolls are the best!!! I am offering outdoor milestone minis starting in March. These will be 20 minute baby only sessions. Feel free to contact me for more details.

I spent the morning with this sweet family of 3 for an in-home maternity session. We were hoping for an outdoor session but with these frigid temperatures, we opted for indoors. I was secretly thrilled to be able to shoot at their home. I love seeing familes in their own element!! Plus, I think capturing those last days as a family of 3 in your own home is so priceless.

In St. Louis, you never know if a January evening will bring sunshine with warm temps or bitter cold and clouds. For this winter maternity session, we were able to get outside! Although we didn’t have the sun, we were happy with the slightly warmer temps. This first time mom, made my job so easy.

When I open up new booking windows, my email subscribers are the first people I notify. Please subscribe if you'd like to be among the first to know when I begin scheduling 2026 sessions!
