Baby Remy Peek | St. Louis Indoor Children’s Photographer

Posted on September 30, 2011

Here’s a peek at baby Remington (Remy) – isn’t he just the sweetest thing??  I took this session during my maternity leave because 6-month old Remy was born three months early, and just got off oxygen and was finally tube-free when his mama emailed me.  How could I say not say YES?  So glad I did…


Aren’t they just a beautiful family?!

So much happiness and so much love for little Remy.  It was a pleasure meeting you!

More up soon!

I was able to snap a few images of my friend Jaime and her son Solomon before church while he was visiting this month.  They have such a lovely bond.

And according to tradition, hanging upside down tree shots!

XOXO

This beautiful 9-day old baby girl belongs to our good friends.  We’re so excited she’s finally here!  A little girlfriend for Chelsea. :)   She made us work hard, but it was well worth it.  Welcome to the world, baby Sydney.

Big brother Sawyer is pretty darn adorable too!
Lots more to come when I magically find some spare time to edit (ha!).

A quick image of Chelsea at three days old…she just turned six weeks!  I’m so behind on editing…with good reason. :)





Tell All Tuesday – Newborn Setup FAQ | St. Louis Newborn Photographer

Posted on September 6, 2011

I received a few questions about my newborn setup post.  Let me know if you want any more details!

  1. What’s the backdrop material called – wondering if a fabric store caries it?  It’s actually the Ofelia blanket from Ikea!  I’ve seen photographers use the Ofelia throw also.  I have the blanket in brown as well.  I’ve seen it in gray and tan on other photographers’ blogs – I don’t have an Ikea near me but next time I’m there I will get these as well!  They’re great because they’re stretchy and don’t show wrinkles in the fabric.  http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60131593
  2. Are you keeping baby warm, seems like you are getting great shots without having to.  Yes, keeping baby warm is a very important part to getting great shots.  I have a small space heater that is sitting in the windowsill (it’s also often just sitting on the table to the side) in the photos I shared.  It’s from Target but I know they sell them at Walmart too.
  3. Is there a light under your umbrella ? If so, how strong? Yes, it’s an umbrella light – this one from Amazon.com.  It came with a 27-watt light bulb, but I replaced it with a 45-watt one that is 5500K color temperature so that it shines like day light.  http://www.amazon.com/PHOTOGRAPHY-CONTINUOUS-LIGHTING-UMBRELLA-Fluorescent/dp/B000GX484U/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1314985479&sr=8-10http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Fluorescent-Daylight-Temperature-Photography/dp/B004LONG0W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1314985582&sr=1-1
  4. You using a hot shoe flash as well?  Nope.  I don’t own any flashes, and my 5D doesn’t even have a pop-up flash.
  5. Whats your ‘go to’ lens for these shots?  I use a Canon 50 1.4 lens for all my newborn shoots, except the macro shots, which are shot with a 100mm 2.8 L macro lens.

Hope this helps some of you!
