Amy Hoga Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to Amy Hoga Photography Blog
I am the woman behind Amy Hoga Photography--St Louis' premiere newborn/children's on location photographer!  Although I have been a photojournalist for many years...This business is less than 3 years young! Thanks to my sister Tina and her endless encouragement--I now have a booming maternity, newborn, infant/child/family photography business and just recently, taking on the hippest coolest senior portraits anywhere...  I also do a select number of weddings a year and am available for travel.  I currently work out of the greater St Louis Missouri area: St Louis, MO; Ladue, MO; Kirkwood, MO; Alton, Illinois; Belleville, IL; Edwardsville, IL; Granite City, IL; Collinsville, IL...Please feel free to add a new and exciting location to my repertoire!  I love what I do so much that the night before a newborn photography session  I am restless with ideas, sketching them out feverishly into the wee hours of the morning; thinking of the best light and how to make your child's photograph the very best.  I am a stay at home mom to 3 blustering boys and 1 delicious little girl...I love to spend time with them and laugh my head off.  I have been married to the same gorgeous man for 11 years and I am still in awe of him everyday!  I love art and creating masterpieces with your children's images--something definitely unique.  Children's Photography is my art and my passion.  My mission is for you to see yourself and your loved ones in a new and beautiful way.  To have the finished piece be something of meaning that you treasure forever.  I am honored that you have chosen me as your photographer...THANK YOU!!!

What to Wear…Children’s and Newborn Photographer Atlanta

what2wearwhat to wear

I get numerous emails everyday asking the question…what do we wear for our photo shoot???  It is such an important question because the right look can make the photograph really special and unique…First of all, I always tell my clients to be themselves–dress as you normally would–the days of stuffy “dressed-up” photo shoots are dead…We want life and energy in your family photos–and one great way to infuse this sense of fun is through the clothing you wear…Above, I have illustrated some looks from Boden that I think work really well.  Look for color threads–a color (or three) that are the same tone running throughout your family.  Picture #1 we have a pink/orange/purple thread that looks textured, put together and fun…Pic #2 we have a yellow/green/orange thread that is a bit classier, but still fun!  Please stay away from distracting logos and the 1990′s matchy matchy let’s all wear the same thing look…That is really dated and won’t translate well onto your images…We want to see you and have your personalities shine through:)  Think coordination instead of matching…
