Why baby photography?

Madeleine McGinnis has seven grandchildren, ranging in age from 14 to four, who live only minutes from her. They are her photographic inspiration. This constant exposure to her grandchildren helps her stay in touch with the different stages of child development. She has developed an uncanny eye for recording and anticipating the unexpected moments.

She is a graduate of the Winona School of Professional Photography and the Mt. Carroll Center for Applied Photographic Arts, where she studied under the guidance of world renowned instructors. She was managing partner and owner of a studio for several years. She completed her Bachelor and Master of Science degrees with honors in St. Louis. Her competition entries have earned her several blue ribbons including a Best of Show award in her Division.

Madeleine is a past member of the board of Greater St. Louis Professional Photographers. She also enjoys membership in the Greater St. Louis Mother's of Twins Club.
