An Evening in Downtown | St. Charles Family Photographer

Downtown St. Charles, Missouri is a magical place. It’s full of history with a mix of historical building and charming shops. When this family who lives in St. Charles contacted me this year for their family photo session, I just knew we needed to spend some time downtown during their shoot.

We started at a park near the Missouri River which happens to be within walking distance to the beautiful downtown area. We took advantage of the beautiful sunset at the park for some more traditional family shots. I’m not sure this family could be any more beautiful! I have worked with them before and I didn’t think it was possible but they are even more stunning this year than the last time I saw them.

Anyway, after getting some beautiful evening shots, we walked over to downtown and just started wandering  around. I realize that as the professional, I should have had more of a plan but I didn’t. I just wanted to roam around and get inspired by the family and she scenery. And boy did we get inspired. I now have a dilemma, I have fallen in love with more urban family shots. What to do, parks or downtowns??? How about both?!?! Check out some of my favorites from this session.
