Hello! My name is Kelsi
Hi-I’m Kelsi & i love babies! To me, babies are the purest, most magical little living things so I am so lucky to have a platform and profession which allows me to snuggle so many sweet brand new little lives! My passion for babes began when I worked for ‘Bella Baby Photography’ which is a photography company which photographs babies just days after birth in select St Louis area hospitals! While I adored this job, I couldn’t help but feel like I was missing out on truly connecting with my clients and their new bundles. I prefer to spend quality time with mommy & daddy (and OF COURSE baby) so the 30 minute sessions at the hospital, though productive, weren’t as personal as I’d like, and that’s how the newborn division of Kelsi Bailey Photography was born! Since then, I’ve genuinely enjoyed capturing family additions & turning my clients into friends. My darling hubby and I call Fairview Heights, IL home but when we aren’t home, you can bet we’re out & about enjoying a local coffee or craft beer. We practically smother our chiweenie Mason with love (we are kiss our dog on the mouth kind of people) and we’re always up for an outdoor adventure! I look forward to the opportunity to celebrate this next chapter with you & your loved ones & i especially look forward to giving you classic, timemless photos that you’ll treasure for years to come!

baby bump first and foremost, congratulations on this exciting milestone! Though you’re likely feeling overwhelmed with motherhood just a few short weeks away, trust me when I say you are glowing & gorgeous! You are bringing new life to life and that alone makes you the epitome of beauty! Your pregnancy may feel never ending but remember that only one quick second separates your little one from the outside world, so why not document baby’s journey from the beginning? I take a very documentary, timeless approach to maternity photos that ensures that your glow will be highlighted inside & out.
maternity sessions to newborns are like engagement sessions to weddings. I’d love to get to know you before baby arrives! baby bump session investment: session & rights to high resolution digital images with newborn session: $100 without newborn session: $300

grow with me newborns change every single day-it gets truer as they get older. Even their eye and hair color can change completely in just a few months time! As they say, a photo is nothing more than a captured moment in time. Think about all the moments in your little’s first year-it’s hard to remember them all & even harder if you have no photos to remember the quirks along the way. I cannot encourage you enough to take TONS of photos of your darling little one-I’d be sad if you didn’t-but I also encourage you to consider having some of your baby’s milestones professionally captured! With my documentary style, I will be sure to capture your sweet little one just as they are-all the facial expressions, the quirks, the giggles-all in a clean, timeless, and professional way. Popular ‘grow with me’ ages are 3, 6, 9 & 12 months but I am flexible in capturing as much or as little as you like! 12 month sessions include a cake smash, which is the sweetest end to your baby’s first year! ‘grow with me’ sessions are available for babies 3-12 months old. They take place in-home & all sessions include the rights to the high resolution digital images.
$50/session includes rights to digital high resolution files

fresh 48 A ‘fresh 48’ session is the perfect way to show off your brand new bundle & is a great alternative to birth photography! For those of you looking for an organic, raw look into a baby’s first 48 hours of life, ‘fresh 48’s’ are for you! Within baby’s first 48 hours, I’ll come to your hospital room & capture all of the beautiful parts of your new babe. Fingers, toes, hair (or lack thereof) & their itty bitty lashes & rolls. There is no posing necessary for a ‘fresh 48’ session-I‘m simply capturing the beauty that’s already there. Therefore, there’s no need to stress about outfits or blankets-fresh 48 sessions=no stress! The first 48 hours are such precious ones; you won’t regret having a professional set of photos to remember the occasion.

investment I’m going to be honest, I don’t like selling things and I don’t like being sold to. Therefore, I’ve structured all of my sessions to be digital packages. This way, you have all the high resolution digital files at your fingertips & don’t worry, I’ll share my favorite printing labs with you so that you know exactly where to go to get great quality prints and canvases for your home! Of course, should you prefer to purchase prints, just ask and I can get additional investment information to you!
