Coen is one! To celebrate, we met at Forest Park in St. Louis, MO, on a beautiful summer morning. We took photos of the family together, and Coen with each parent individually. This is what I generally do in all of my family photo sessions!

It is always such a wonderful thing to get to watch my newborn clients grow into toddlers, and even big kids as time passes. Coen was one of our Covid babies – we could not do a typical newborn session due to Covid restrictions. However, we did do newborn photos outdoors, and I am happy to say that those are still some of my favorite newborn photos to this day. We had beautiful light, and it was something unique from the typical studio and lifestyle newborn photos we offer.

Coen is such a smily little guy. He was a little shy at first, but soon warmed up, and then was such a ham for the rest of the session! I can’t think of this photo session without getting a big smile on my face!

Emilia is one! We captured the milestone by a St. Louis family photo session at the fabulous Forest Park! We are so lucky to have such a great place to take photos! This family is always so beautiful for their photo sessions. Their outfits were perfect, and they looked gorgeous, as always!

I always love capturing this family of four! The first time I met them, they were a new family of three. It’s been so wonderful offering my St. Louis family photography services to them for four years now! Time really flies, and a lot of things have changed in that time. However, one thing that has not changed, is they continue to be one of my very favorite families to capture! I was a little sad when I learned they were moving away, but am so grateful they continue to choose to have me as their family’s photographer.

The reason for this photoshoot is their youngest turned a year old! What a milestone, and what a great reason to document the family!
