“Amber was super easy to work with. She came prepared with maternity poses so that the session was highly productive. I loved her photos and her creative perspective and she created the most amazing framed piece for us. Totally recommend her!”
-Robert and Lorinette
IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS
Like coordinating your maternity session hair, make-up, and outfits for you. Or the basket of toys in the playroom next to my photo studio.
Everything about your photo session will be comfortable and simple, because when you’re not worried about choosing outfits and entertaining the kiddos, you can focus on that sweet family of yours and have a great time.

MEMORIES ON YOUR WALLS
Digitals might be great for sharing on social media, but your family memories deserve to do more than gather dust online.
One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is helping my families choose personal art to decorate their homes. I work with carefully-chosen small businesses and artisans to deliver custom, heirloom-quality artwork you won’t find anywhere else. I can’t wait to show you all I offer.

HAND-PICKED LOCATIONS
I work with families across the greater St. Louis region and have developed a fantastic collection of outdoor photo locations — chosen for their natural beauty and room to explore. They become the perfect backdrop for relaxed, authentic family sessions and the majority of my maternity sessions.
I also offer a fully-stocked home studio for maternity, milestone, and all newborn photography. My studio comes with quiet space for feeding and changing, a wide variety of curated backdrops and props, swaddles and other outfits, and a nearby toy room with a couch for big siblings (and tired dads too).

“Amber was incredibly professional to work with and made us feel
so comfortable. Her patience level with newborns in impressive
and well worth the effort of getting out of the house during a
rough transition time for most families to capture incredible forever images.”
