The Harris Maternity Session

Donald and Nicole are from Illinois but having their sweet baby boy, Landon in Kirkwood, MO so they asked me to tell their birth story. We met at The Landing with their two little girls, Lillian and Lydia, to do their maternity session. Lillian and Lydia were troopers as we walked around down town. Here are a few favorites of mine:




Lydia is 15 months old and such a sweetheart.

And here is Lillian. She was a doll and is so excited to welcome home her little brother.

Lydia was having a hard time with taking pictures so she got a sucker. I though I would include a "sucker" pictures...she is just sooo cute even with the sucker.

I think that is my favorite picture of just the two of them. I love their expressions! (Plus, there is just something fun about hugging with a belly in between you. WINK!)

Kyle and Ashley: Maternity Session

Ashley and I went to high school and college together and were in each other's weddings. She is just a great friend! Kyle and Ashley met while she was in college and I immediately knew that they were going to get married. I am blessed to tell their birth story of their first baby, Sofia. Here are some pictures from their maternity session...stay posted for news of Sofia's arrival! (Oh, and Lilly made it in the photo shoot, too. )

Favorite of the day!

What an adorable shirt...and belly!




Kyle set this shot up himself...way to go Kyle!

Howard and Holly's Maternity Session

Holly and Howard are such a neat couple! They were so easy to photograph because they had this amazing chemistry together. I just loved watching Holly as she laughed and smiled...she lights up the room, or in our case, Forest Park. They are both excited about the arrival of their baby girl in the next week or two. (Hopefully 'two' because I have three weddings this Fourth of July week...wink!)

I am really looking forward to this birth session! Till then, enjoy these maternity session pictures of Holly, Howard, and little baby Addison!

I love this one!


This is my favorite picture of their session...it might be my favorite maternity session picture ever!






I just started taking a few pictures of the mom-to-be alone with her bundle of joy and am really liking how they turn out. (Sorry dads!)



And last by not least, cooling off...and Holly, you amaze me that you were still able to wear these shoes in your third trimester. I am pretty sure my first week of pregnancy I had to lose everything but flats...lol!

Skylar and Patricia's Pregnancy Shoot

I used to teach fourth grade at WCCS and one of my closest buddies there was Susan Nelson, an incredible middle school teacher. Well, Susan's eldest daughter is Patricia who I actually met on a college church trip to MI...again, what small world.

I showed up to shoot her pregnancy shoot at her house because she was on bed rest for a few weeks and we did not want the maternity shoot to turn into a birth session. And thankfully, it did not. She did deliver though this past Friday to Mia...CONGRATS Skylar, Patricia, and entire family!

This is my favorite one...they look like professional models!

Katy and Bruce's Maternity Session

Katy, Bruce, and I had a beautiful day to shoot their maternity shoot...well, at least it was not raining! LOL ! We met in Old Town St. Charles, and surprisingly, this was only my second time to be there. But as for Katy and Bruce, they were quite familiar with OT, they even went on their first date here. They showed me some great places around this great, historic part of St. Louis. Here are my favorite photos:



I think this is my favorite one!

This is the pictures I took right before the nice lady came and kicked us out of the Conservatory. But what a great pictures to end on...it was worth it!
