SPG Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome!  My name is Susie Gaal and I am a St. Louis based children's photographer specializing in natural light.  This is the place to see sneak peeks of my recent sessions, updates, news and specials.  I will try and post regularly, but sometimes life gets in the way!  Check back from time to time and feel free to leave comments.  I always love to hear from you!

The Z family

I got to meet the Zs over the weekend on a beautiful sunny and almost cool morning.  I had so much fun playing with the boys and photographing the family.  Its always so great when the kiddos I’m photographing also get a kick out of my goofy antics.  Thanks for thinking I’m funny!

these boys have beautiful lashes!!!

cheeks

6 month old H is all cheeks!  I love that her mamma says she’s packing cupcakes in those cheeks.  There is not much cuter than a chunky little monkey.  Enjoy your sneak peek!!

he’s still got it

I haven’t seen this little man since he was just a few weeks old.  I am soooooo happy he still has his fuzzy little faux hawk!  It is irresistible!!  This session was for his 6 month milestone, but more importantly to honor him and his daddy since he’ll be leaving soon for a year :( .  Daddies are precious.  Good Luck M!

finally

I’m so glad we finally got this session in!  Mom diligently scheduled J’s 18 month session a ways out so that we could shoot some of the session at their home and some of the session at a park down the street.  Of course the day before our scheduled session J gets sick, so we pushed it out another 2 weeks.  That morning rolled around and low and behold it is pouring down rain.  Not drizzling, POURING!  Isn’t that always the case?  It seriously hasn’t rained here in like 3 weeks.  Well luckily the weather broke and we squeezed the session in that afternoon.  Thank you mother nature for cooperating!  J could not be cuter and I am so happy to have photographed him in all his adorable toddlerness (is that a word?  well it is now).  

one year

S just turned one.  Its such a huge milestone!  It always amazes me how fast that first year goes…or the first 7 for that matter.  Thank you for letting me capture her beautiful blue eyes, soft whispy blonde hair and all those wonderful 1 year old parts.

9 months

M is one of my first year babies.  Happy 9 months!  He is officially on the move.  I love this age when they are crawling around and their dirty little piggies are just evidence of how much fun he is having.  See you guys in 3 short months!

good thing I wore my running shoes

C & C are 19 months apart.  At 3 and 17 months, they were ready to GO!  I love that.  It takes me back to when my oldest 2 were that age, my first 2 were 17 months apart so I totally get it!  It was so great to meet these 2 adorable kids and reconnect with their super cute momma.  Thanks for a fun morning!

just in time

I found out yesterday that we got this session in just in time.  Before I could even get this session blogged, mamma had a baby boy!  CONGRATULATIONS L family!!!  B is going to make a wonderful big brother.  Can’t wait to get my camera on that tiny bundle!

18 months and baby on the way

I love photographing this family!  Mom is stunningly beautiful pregnant (and not pregnant for that matter) and 18 month old C has been adorable since I first met him as a newbie.  Thanks for trying out a new location and wandering around with me to fun fun new spots.  Can’t wait to meet baby girl next month!

neighbors & friends

We are so happy that the H family moved in across the street.  My kids are in heaven and so am I having great friends and neighbors so close.  I think both of our houses are revolving doors with kids in and out…it is so nice to have the kids happy.  That makes momma happy too!  Thanks for letting me capture your sweet family!
