This family of three enjoyed an updated portrait for this past holiday season. With bright reds and blues to add to their smiles, we really enjoyed a morning at the local park. With all the running, swinging and playground exploring, this little princess was plum worn out by the end of our photo adventure!
We had the great privilege of photographing a dear friend for a publication. We had a casual outdoor session and were joined by her very friendly puppy! From forest background to rocking on the porch, we found many great photo locations around her home.
This curious little boy had quite the 1 year birthday! He helped with opening his presents, enjoyed a lion birthday cake and showed us his favorite toys during a private photo shoot. This is one happy and lovable little guy. We here at Defy would love to photograph him every day! Best wishes to mom and dad as they head into year 2!
Last year we photographed this baby boy just a month after he was born. Here are some of our favorites from that session. This year we were invited to attend his 1st birthday party and took some updated portraits of him and his family. We’ll be posting those soon! For now, we’re reliving tiny tender moments with this beautiful baby boy as he had his first photo debut!
Late June we traveled to Lake George, New York for a wedding on a dinner cruise ship. There were many humorous photos coupled with sweet endearing moments. This couple is sure to have a marriage filled with both!
This past spring Defy Photography partnered up with an independent beauty consultant from Mary Kay to provide an afternoon of glamour for women on a college campus. The participants spent time getting all dolled up with Mary Kay, and then had a portrait session with us. These girls were fun and sassy, and we loved seeing their own personality pop through their pictures!
We love shooting in St. Louis’ Forest Park! This newly engaged couple had spunk, and charisma despite threatening rain. They were open to our fun photo ideas and a joy to work with. We look forward to the wedding in October.
Earlier this spring we spent some time at the playground with this dear little one! We just loved capturing her true joy and expressions of laughter as she explored one of her favorite places. Hopefully, you too can experience her excitement and innocence through our photographs. We look forward to working with her again soon!
Defy had the recent opportunity to photograph a professional dancer. Erin used to dance with SYREN Modern Dance in New York, but she has moved to the St. Louis area and needed new headshots. It was not only a joy to shoot her, but to be in the presence of such gentle grace.
