Yvonne Niemann of Yvonne Niemann Photography.

“I picked up a camera as a child to document the little details of the world around me and a passion for photography was born. I have been fortunate to turn that passion into a career – first as a photojournalist, then a video producer and now an infant and child photographer. I’ve always loved documenting life as it unfolds, but it wasn’t until I had my own child that it became clear what kind of images I wanted to capture for myself and others – the wonder of life. I understand the importance of those little details. A tiny hand grasping tightly to a parent’s single finger, the look of pride in a parent as they look upon their child, soft eyelashes, tiny toes, delicate ears, tears, laughter, the many gestures of curiousity, the look of amazement in a child as they notice something for the first time, michievous grins, favorite toys…Just simply life – real, relaxed, natural – one frame at a time.”

St. Louis based infant, newborn, baby and child photographer specializes in lifestyle custom portraits of babies & children at the location of your choice. Yvonne serves the St. Louis, MO area and beyond such as Ballwin; Central West End; Chesterfield; Clayton; Creve Coeur; Des Peres; Florissant; Frontenac; Kirkwood; Ladue; Lafayette Square; Lake St. Louis; Maplewood; Maryland Heights; O’Fallon; Soulard; St. Charles; St. Peters; Sunset Hills; Town and Country; University City; Webster Groves; and Wildwood. She is also available for travel and commercial work elsewhere.

About Prissy Poofs

PrissyPoofs that is… We are PrissyPoofs! Two moms on a mission…to help Mother’s in search of upscale dress-up that can successfully (and quite adorably we might add) be worn out of the house to… the Grocery Store, School, Church, or even Dad’s office, without a scene.

PrissyPoofs became a reality in 2000 when a precious three-year old named Annie Hope requested a Pink Party, and demanded tu-tus for all of her guests…You know how persuasive three-year olds can be. The first “Poofs” were unveiled to sixteen three-year olds, and the response was overwhelming! As a result we can offer the same fantastically fabulous “Poofs” to you! Each is beautifully handcrafted with yards and yards of tulle. Take a look through out site to see how we have changed the way you look at dress-up!
