Homestead Maternity Session

St. Louis Family Photography | Courtney Smith Photography

This sweet family wanted a “Little House on the Prairie” vibe and I think we delivered. It’s so naturally them, and I can’t help but love every single image to pieces.

If you can imagine a late summer turning fall evening with storm clouds overhead that threatened but never broke, that’s what this was. Quiet and magical and filled with anticipation of a new family member.

From the mama, “Savoring the end of a sweet chapter in our lives and on the brink of a new one… I am so thankful we captured this time in our lives. I will look back at these photos when I’m old and gray and be reminded of the joy, love, anticipation, and excitement we’ve held.”

So, hi! In case you haven’t had a chance to look around my website or get to know me, I’m Courtney! I’m a St. Louis family photographer (and newborn photographer) with a focus on the tender, artful, heartfelt details. I was a wedding photographer for 10 years before making the switch to families. It was the birth of my own babies that brought about the change of heart. Now, there is nothing that fills me up more than capturing the magic of family for others. You can read more about my heart for this here.

If you’d like to schedule your own family session, simply use the button below to contact me. I would love to be a part of capturing the beauty of your family.
