Hi!
If you’ve landed on this page, you’ve already enjoyed the photos in our gallery or received a warm recommendation for our work. Now you’re trying to figure out if we’re the right people to work with.
We believe that the best photography relationships are a match in style, price, and personality.
So let's talk about style.
Our photographs are known for their clean, vibrant style and engaging emotional content. We avoid funky filters and short-lived trends and choose to create photos that will still resonate with the viewer 50 years from now.
But our real strength lies in our style of working. 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 your best. You should never feel (or look) uncomfortable.
We work quickly and efficiently and love collaborating so everyone feels inspired and engaged. You will love both your photos and the photographic experience.
Which prompts the million-dollar question - "What do you charge?"
Pricing for photography in St. Louis is all over the map. Experience, skill, operating expenses, volume, and sustainability all affect the price. (We’ve seen a lot of photographers come and go in the 20 years we’ve been in business.)
We’re not cheap, but we’re also not “designer label” expensive. We believe in giving you value for money.
If you’re a family portrait client, we want to provide you with printed photographs that will be cherished memories for years to come. We want those photos to outlive us and be valuable heirlooms for generations to come.
If you’re a marketing and branding client, we want to create images that help you connect with your current and potential clients. We want to help you tell your story in a way demonstrates your expertise and builds trust.
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.
Because that’s our personality… we want working with us to be win-win for everyone.
We are driven people that have very high standards for ourselves. We like to do our 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.
If our approach to photography 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!
