Baby L | Newborn photographer {Edwardsville, IL}

Newborn portrait sessions are available year-round. I will bring props, blankets, headbands, hats, wraps, and baskets to your home within baby's first two weeks to capture the fleeting moments. Don't miss your opportunity to record the newness of your baby - flaky skin, wrinkly forehead, tiny feet - that changes so quickly.

Hello, sweet little L! This baby girl slept so well for me and had the most gorgeous skin. Made for an easier than usual session AND editing - I'll take that any time!



Take a minute to explore my gallery. I LOVE mini sessions, and they are a great way to try me out for under $100. If you would like more information, or to book a session, call or text 314.504.1821.

It doesn't get much cuter than this. Twin 1 year old girls! It was a brisk December day, so I met this family at their home for the girls' session. The babies seemed to be taking turns being in a smiley mood, and both of them wanted to crawl right out of the frame.

The P family spends a lot of time in Forest Park, and during the fall it is a perfect place for a family photo session. We met at the Muny and lucked out with a warm November day and a gorgeous sunset. Mom admitted that her family hadn't had portraits taken since these girls were babies. I am so glad she chose me to capture them along with her handsome boys!

This fun family met me for a session at Willoughby Farm last fall. This is one of my favorite spots for summer and fall sessions. The kids had a stomping competition on the steps to get some smiles and got to climb on a tractor when they needed a break.

Look at this gorgeous girl! E turned one year old last fall and enjoyed some cake at the apple orchard in celebration. She was a speedy runner, too, so it was nice to have Mom and Grandma along to assist. I loved her dresses and all the accessories mom brought for her session. And look at that fancy cake! Can't wait to see you at your next milestone!

The B Family | {Family} Edwardsville, IL family photographer

I love that this family updates their family photos yearly. You can see previous sessions here and WAY BACK here. The pups are always in on the photos, and now there is also another baby girl on the way! I am imagining that the photos with 3 dogs, a baby, and a 7-year old may be a bit challenging on our next go around.
The B family had just moved into a new home with some lovely land we were able to use for a sunset session. I *always* recommend sunset sessions and here you can see why!





Spring is quickly approaching, and it is a great time for family portraits. Check out pricing for regular sessions or try a mini special this spring!

The J family | {Troy, Illinois family photographer}

There is never a bad time to think about your next family photo session. If you have a special milestone, birthday, or anniversary approaching, it is a great time to combine a family portrait session with photos for a special occasion. If you have a location in mind or need some ideas, I can make sure you love your photos. Email carrie@carriepphotography.net for more information.

I met up with the J family at the campus of Saint Louis University. They had some locations in mind, and we got a quick tour of the campus while scouting a few more.


C was almost 2 and non-stop moving, but handsome all the while. I love how the family coordinated the denim and checked patterns in their clothing choices.


Don't let another year pass by without updating your family photos. Contact Carrie P Photography for your 2015 portrait session!
