Meet Rhonda

I’m a self-taught photographer and I’ve had the honor of photographing hundreds of families all across Saint Louis, Missouri for more than five years now. I started off as strictly a wedding photographer but with the birth of my daughter in 2010 I quickly found a passion with capturing children and families.  Along with my new found passion my schedule quickly started booking full of birth and baby photography and as of February 2011 I decided to no longer provide wedding photography services.

Before we meet, you might like to know that:

• I have an amazing daughter who has changed my life since her birth March 23, 2010  and just as an amazing husband who is a full time student and tries to keep me in line.
• My husband makes the best cinnamon pancakes and if it were not for him I would live off QT long john donuts and whatever spare scraps of my dinner my daughter doesn’t eat.
• I also have three small dog children, all three are Chihuahuas and the eldest is Chica; the mean one, Axl Rose is our middle super loving dog child and our baby Lacie who is the craziest looking dog you will ever see.
• Everyone is a “hun” to me, don’t be surprised if I end a call with “okay thanks hun.”
• I’m desperately trying to become a technical savvy person with my schedule and bookkeeping.  However, I have a sickness and I enjoy shifting though paperwork.  Plus there is just something about seeing my schedule written out vs on a computer screen.
• I’m a night owl in training to be one of those early risers, who knew the sun was up before 11am!
• I may seem scatter-brained at times, but that’s only because there are too many ideas bouncing around in my head.
• You think my scatter-brain is bad, you should see all the ideas folders and open documents on my computer.  It never fails I start with one idea that spans into 100 ideas and find myself not completing the original idea I had started off with.
• I will most likely hug you when I see you.
• I get emotionally tied to every session. I have to. I couldn’t do this otherwise, as I’m an emotional person.  Animal Planet has been banned from our TV because within minutes my husband finds me curled up in tears on the sofa because I become emotionally attached too quickly.
• I’m a kid at heart.  But I can be that responsible adult when necessary.
