Kim Weiss Photography – The Blog bio picture

Welcome

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog! I hope this can be a place you can learn a little bit more about me, whether you are a current or future client, friend, family, or fellow photographer.

I am located in the St. Louis, Missouri area and specialize in custom portraiture of children, families, & high school seniors. I have moved all my maternity & newborn photography to a joint venture with Jodie Allen, Fresh Art Photography. We are doing some amazing work together, a new and FRESH approach to newborn photography.

As a mom to seven, I understand how stressful getting portraits done can be. It was a big motivating factor in pursuing this photography passion. My goal is to always make this an enjoyable experience for you and your family. So plan to have fun at our sessions!

I am a proud member of Professional Photographers of America as well as a volunteer photographer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.

more of J – [St. Louis Child Photographer]

J came yesterday for a mini-session.  We met up in June at Faust Park when he turned 2… only it was a bajillion degrees out, even in the morning hours.  So we just went ahead and scheduled a studio session too.  Only, who would have figured in the middle of the day at the end of July it would barely be 80 degrees!  O’well, any excuse to play with J (and mommy!!) is fine by me!

Here are just 2 from yesterday!

Class of 2010 – A’s slideshow – [St. Louis High School Senior Photographer]

meet H class of 2010 – [St. Louis High School Senior Photographer]

Another super fun high school senior session today!  H is one of the most bubbly, friendly, adorable girls I’ve ever met… with such a gorgeous & contagious smile.  She’s a dancer (like I was many many moons ago) and so we had a few giggles about poses and how we both naturally fell into those dance patterns.  She brought her mom along too, and I hope my own daughters and I have relationships like theirs… and I totally am expecting to become BFFs on Facebook with mom!  Hehe!

But on with the sneak peek!  Did I mention H was gorgeous?!  Because I might have freaked her out a bit with the amount of times I told her so!  Thanks so much to H & K for coming today… and venturing into my jungle backyard!

big happy family – [St. Louis Family Photographer]

Oh, how I love this family!  So when they contacted me about shooting them ALL, I was excited!  And nervous because posing large groups and adults, not my strong suit!  But the excitement won over since I knew we’d have a fun time… because I love this family!  And the nervousness flew right out the window because Dad had all the posing and grouping completely organized and under control.

crazy ghetto ideas – [St. Louis Newborn Photographer]

So one of the great things about teaming up with Jodie in Fresh Art, is that we can bounce off crazy ideas to each other… and push each other creatively.

So when Jodie said, “Let’s take a baby to the ghetto!” it really didn’t even cause me to pause before saying, “yes!”

And so we did just that today!

Crazy fun!  Check out the rest of the sneak peek!  Would LOVE your comments!

A – class of 2010 [St. Louis Senior Photographer]

I met with A a little while back to capture some senior portraits.  Guys are much different to shoot than girls, but A did great and I showed my true dorky self the entire time.  Hope you are enjoying your summer in Chicago and enjoy this sneak peek before your gallery is ready!
