Spending time with the whole family together. It really is something special to capture. It’s not often that I photograph extended family photo sessions that are not for a specific event (like Grandma’s birthday party, or a baptism, for example) – but having “something to do” besides stare at the camera is totally the way […]

I mean. I can’t even stand her cuteness. The “sitting up” baby phase is just the best. The. Best. Smiles for days, peek-a-boo is always funny … plus chunky, soft baby skin will always be in style! I love it. I don’t know what else to say except prepare to have “aweeeeee” all over your […]

So, yeah. Not surprising, a mid-March snow in St. Louis after we had the warmest February on record. (What’s that famous weather quote around here: “if you don’t like the weather in Missouri..stick around it will change.”) Well. For this little guy’s 1st Birthday celebration Mom was wanting snowy-wintery photos to celebrate the season of […]

{by kristie} Sweet, sweet, sweetie. Don’t you just want to squish his cheeks!?! I mean. Really. I’m excited to share this session with with you, not only because we captured lots of adorableness – but because I’d like to tell you about my NEW SESSION OPTION for newborn babies this year – and this session […]

The Mom of these cute, fun kiddos contacted me about doing a “close-up & serious” session at the studio – she wanted macro details to remember every freckle, eyelash, the color patterns in their eyes, crooked teeth, and every perfect-to-Mom piece of their face.

Why, hello sweetie. A little play in the park with this 1.5-year-old doll. I do love photographing this age. Never a fake smile, only earned ones. And even though it comes with a little trickery (like lots of swinging for our session to stay happy ;) – it’s all totally worth it! By the way, […]

O. M. G. I mean really. O. M. G. This kid is so cute I can’t handle it. Little Max, and his sweet Mom, graced our studio earlier this month to give all of us at L Photographie an afternoon of smiles. I absolutely love photographing this age. I’m sure every child photographer would agree. […]

Meet Lulwa, her name meaning Pearl in Arabic. So pretty. Born Feburary 26, weighing in at 7lbs 2oz, this is Lulwa at 10-days-old with all her preciousness.   I loved her smile! and sweet slumber and THOSE CHEEKS! This sweet-girly-pink blanket was crocheted by Mommy.  (I wish I knew how to crochet or knit. One […]
