Natural, Documentary Photography of Your Baby's First Hours
Capturing the Moments You'll Never Want to Forget.
The first hours with your new baby are unlike anything else.
The tiny fingers and toes.
The first time siblings meet their new baby.
The hospital bracelet around their wrist.
The sleepy stretches, tiny yawns, fresh newborn features, and the overwhelming joy of finally holding the baby you've waited so long to meet.
These moments happen quickly—and before you know it, your hospital stay is over and you're heading home to begin an entirely new chapter.
As a St. Louis Fresh 48 photographer serving St. Louis and St. Charles County, I capture your baby's first hours of life in a natural, relaxed, and documentary-style way.
No complicated poses. No props. No pressure.
Just your family, your brand-new baby, and the real moments you'll never want to forget.
Because those first hours only happen once.

KIND WORDS
"We had such a wonderful experience with our newborn and family photo session! Maile was SO patient with our energetic 2 year old and truly is so good with making the session feel fun & effortless!
Our photos are absolutely beautiful. She captured this special season of our lives so perfectly, and we are beyond grateful to have these memories to look back on! We can’t wait to hang these photos throughout our home! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer!"
"Maile has done our family’s pictures twice now and both times have been wonderful, not only in the quality of the pictures but the experience as well. She does an exceptional job capturing the love and joy of our family through her creative poses and bubbly personality. Our family pictures are hanging up in our living room and it is easily one of my favorite parts of the house and I’m always eager to show them off when people come over."
