These two were so relaxed during the photo shoot. One of their goals was to have fun, and to have that joy shine through their photos. We laughed and chatted as we visited their favorite spot in Forest Park, revisiting the location of their engagement and creating new memories where they took engagement photos.

It's Another Girl! ~ St. Louis Birth Photographer

It was a calm labor and joyous delivery in a darkened suite of Mercy Birthing Center. It was my first time with the title “birth photographer” and my first time witnessing the birth of a baby.

This doula and mom of four breathed through her contractions in the tub, with her husband applying essential oils to her back to aid labor. Between contractions she laughed with her husband and doula and talked gently with her two oldest daughters.

“It’s a girl!” was declared just before midnight on that snowy day in February. Baby girl joined three older sisters and one older brother, expanding this joyful clan into a family of seven.

The joy of welcoming a new child into the world will never get old for this couple.

I loved seeing how each member of the family connected with their little girl in a unique way.

What a dreamy entrance into the world of birth photography. I’m hooked! It’s more than just the individual photos; birth photography is about telling the story of a new human coming into this world.
