Her work is rare in this digital world and has a decidely organic feel to it...the way she captures real moments and the interaction of real family relationships.

Baby Photography in St. Louis has changed forever. Gone are the days when the hospital photos were the only memories you have of your brand new baby. .This St. Louis Baby Photographer photographs newborns in their first week of life, in their own home, with a special ability to capture all the precious details of these brand new babies in beautiful newborn portraits. Newborn sessions are as low-stress as you can get, with one session scheduled a day and no rushing. 

Children at Play! Capture your children the way they really are.  Sitting in front of a backdrop and saying cheese will probably never end, but when you look through your albums and portrait galleries, the images that really take you back are the spontaneous captures.  The personalities. The way they looked when they were being mischievous. Happy. Cranky. Funny. Serious. And everything in between. Sometimes you get lucky with snapshots.  Lauri captures these moments almost inherently, and this is why she offers her services as a St. Louis Children's Photographer

Photography Services Available. Offering black and white fine art photography, custom lifestyle and environmental portaits, photojournalistic images, editorial and commercial photography, and location photography.  Lauri Baker Photography also offers birth announcements, photo albums, coffee table books, and portraits on canvas.
