I love to hold photography sessions in field locations like this. There is nothing more beautiful than natural light and the timeless feel of an open field. Some days there are beautiful wildflowers blooming, sometimes you’ll find tall weeds blowing in the wind. And you can go to a field all year long and never have the same photos twice because they are always changing. Here in the greater St. Louis area we have so many beautiful landscapes to take advantage of. In addition, children are so much more comfortable “being themselves” in a place where they can play and I can just follow along and capture them just as they are.
This field below is one of my favorites – I wait for these little yellow wildflowers to bloom every year when spring arrives. I never get tired of their beauty. 



These obviously weren’t taken in my favorite field, but next to the field is a little wooded area and these are too cute not to post.


Steph: Hi Melanie-My fiance and I came across your photos while trying to google good places to take pictures! Can you tell me where this field is and please send me some info about your photography services. Thanks!
