The Richardet Family | Cape Girardeau Family Photographer

Kate and Will brought their two little ones into my Cape Girardeau studio, and these kids were the best. We simply played for an hour, laughed, and let the real moments happen. Not a stressful second in sight; this session is proof that family sessions can be stress-free and full of memory-making moments.

An Easy, Joyful Studio Session

The secret to great family photos with little ones? Keep it relaxed and let them be themselves. That was the whole approach here. We didn’t force a single stiff pose; we just gave the kids room to be kids, and the genuine smiles followed all on their own.

Classic, Timeless, and Full of Authenticity

Kate has impeccable taste, and she came in with a clear vision: classic, timeless, and authentic. We leaned all the way into it. These images feel like nostalgia — the kind of portraits you can already picture framed on a beautifully decorated gallery wall, looking just as lovely twenty years from now as they do today.

A Family With Serious Style

It’s no surprise this session turned out so beautifully; Kate is a designer with an incredible eye. She’s one of the talents behind Hitch + Revel, her event design studio, and the co-founder of Brass + Bone, a gorgeous event venue in Perryville, MO. If you’re planning a wedding or celebration in Southeast Missouri, both are absolutely fabulous!
