Lake St. Louis, MO Photographer
Memories You Can Hold
From pregnancy through those first tiny newborn details, these are the moments you’ll want to remember.
I provide a heartfelt, guided photography experience for Lake St. Louis families who want beautiful maternity, newborn and baby portraits without the stress.
With wardrobe guidance, professional hair and makeup for maternity, and a calm, baby-centered approach for newborn sessions, I’ll take care of the details so you can simply enjoy the experience.
You Deserve to Be in These Photos—Not Just Behind the Camera.
Hi, I’m Amber. After over 20 years of raising my own babies, I know how quickly these seasons pass. I photograph Lake St. Louis families through pregnancy, the newborn days and milestones throughout baby’s first year from my full-service O’Fallon studio. My background as a paramedic also shapes the calm, safety-focused way I care for babies throughout each newborn session.
You don’t need to know how to pose or have everything figured out before you arrive. I’ll guide you through styling, posing and the session itself so you can walk away with beautiful portraits and actually enjoy making them.
