Sweet One and Sweet Music

We love babies! Maybe more so now because one of the owners of Defy is about to be a mommy… In any case, we jumped at the opportunity to photograph this sweet one in St. Louis. She was such a sweetheart and did a great job during our shoot. My favorite part was when she got fussy, her loving parents sang a hymn to help calm her down. It made for a sweet photo op. Congratulations to these new parents on their bundle of joy!

Wide eyes at 1 year old!

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!

Reliving precious moments!

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!

Baby modeling and casual all rolled into one!

We photographed some head shots for this little baby girl for the beginning of her career. She has so many faces for the camera! We also captured a few casual shots to update mom’s scrapbook. She’s a quick little doll as we followed her around the park!

Expanding family love!

Through out life, one of the most cherished moments is when a couple of 2 becomes a family of 3! This holiday season we give thanks to all those cherished moments we’ve been able to capture. From tiny fingers to tiny toes, this beautiful baby brings endless joy to her expanding family!

A newborn baby is always precious!

Ten little fingers, ten little toes, one fabulous bundle of joy! A new mother hired us this fall to capture her wonderful little son. He was so agreeable; he let us move him around and even get a few naked shots. Best wishes to this new mother!

Awaiting a new member of the family!

What a joy to see the excitement in an expanding family! Even big brother was excited to tell us where his baby sister currently resides. We had so much fun with this maternity session and wish this family big blessings as they continue to nurture the newest edition.
