Greetings!
Who We Are
We love people. We loving hearing the stories that make them unique and creating the photographs that will tell those stories the best.
Combining that mindset with our openness and curiosity has led to extraordinary new experiences and opportunities to hone our creativity. (Ask us about our adventure in moving to Myanmar in Southeast Asia.)
In a nutshell, Peter and I are kind, creative people who care a lot about creating a great product for our clients. But we don’t take ourselves too seriously! We know we can be a bit goofy, and that’s part of our charm.
Our Philosophy/Approach/Style
We believe that the best photography relationships are a match in style, price, and personality.
Our real strength lies in our work style. We love connecting with our clients so they feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed in front of the camera.
Say goodbye to stiff poses and forced smiles — laughter, natural expressions, connection, and a relaxed environment are how we work. Don’t worry, we’ll coach and guide you so you look and feel your best.
Our photographs are known for their clean, vibrant style and engaging emotional content. We avoid funky filters and short-lived trends to create photos that will resonate with our clients 50 years from now.
We work quickly and efficiently and love collaborating so everyone feels inspired and engaged. We want you to love both your photos and the photographic experience.
Your Investment
Pricing for photography is all over the map. Experience, skill, operating expenses, volume, and sustainability all affect prices. We may not be the least expensive photographers on the block, but we’re also not designer-label expensive. We believe in giving you value for money.
You can choose our services from one of our collections (contact us for the link), or we are happy to custom-build a package that best fits your needs.
If our approach resonates with you, let's chat. We’d love to earn your trust and business. Reach out to us at 314.454.6612 or fill out the contact form. Let’s create some amazing photographs and have a great time doing it!
