Family Photos 101 | St. Louis Family Photographer

You know that it is time for updated family photos, but you feel a little bit of dread (except you’d never admit that to your spouse, since you practically begged them to agree to do a session). I’m a professional photographer – I take photos of people for a living – I should be a […]

Alex & Sarah | Engagement Session at Forest Park

Everything about Alex and Sarah’s engagement session was a dream, taken at the gorgeous Jewel Box and the Muny. The forecast was for storms, but it miraculously held off until the very end, when they ran across the street and kissed in the rain while I took photos. I mean, pinch me! Getting to know […]

It was such a treat to photograph the Daniel Family. Chris and Ashleigh have three kids under 2. Yep, you read that right. When Ashleigh wrote and asked if they could bring bubbles, I knew it was going to be a fun session. They were so laid-back with the kids, and I just love how […]

Jewel tones, dreamy venue, and a real-life First Look. I couldn’t have dreamed it up even if I’d tried. This styled shoot was perfect. We had an amazing team of vendors who worked hard to think through and execute all of the details you’ll see in these photos. But what couldn’t be planned by any […]

New moms always ask what to expect for their newborn session, and I wish I could promise them that their baby would be as happy as Mary was! She slept for the entire thing until the very end, when we got a couple of photos with her eyes open. It was perfect. She was so […]

THORNHILL | Extended Family Session at City Centre Park

It can be challenging to get adult kids together for a session, but the results are SO worth it. It never hurts to bribe them with a nice meal out afterwards 🙂 I’ve known the Thornhills for awhile now, and it was so special to have them in front of the camera again! Thanks, friends, […]

HARPER | Newborn Photographer in Saint Louis, MO

Harper was just the sweetest snuggle bug. She didn’t like to sleep and didn’t like to be swaddled, but she seemed to like her newborn portrait session! We got some sweet posed ones of her, but my very favorite are some lifestyle ones of momma and Harper during her snack break. 🙂 Molly Thomas Photography […]
