Heather is the go to photographer for newborns in St. Louis. We did our maternity and newborn…read moresessions with her and couldn't be happier with the results. I won't lie and say she isn't pricey...but the quality and professionalism definitely matches the cost. Our maternity session was shot in natural light in the evening at Forest Park. She helped us feel comfortable and helped me feel beautiful in the last weeks of my pregnancy. The newborn session was a special day for us. Heather came to our home 10 days after she was born and did lifestyle photos of our new family at home. She's very gentle and safe with newborns helping pose them on their terms allowing the babies time to settle in and bed ready for photos. An added bonus was some beautiful pictures she took with our daughter and our dog. The finished product was wonderful! My family even ended up ordering their own albums they were so happy with the photos!

I love Brea Photography!…read more Brea herself is fantastic to work with, and her team of photographers are reliable, friendly, and I never have to worry about they way the photos are going to turn out. As someone who plans a lot of events, not having to give photography a second thought is completely priceless. If you can snag Brea, use her before you use her peeps, but anyone from the group should work out just fine. Typically getting a hold of her 2-3 weeks before your event is enough time, but book ahead if you want to use her pop-up photo booth services, which I believe are new. Really solid photographers with great attitudes. Let 'em capture all the cool things you've got going on!

I relied upon glowing yelp reviews, when selecting my daughter's wedding photographer got…read morecomplicated. Unfortunately, my life did not get any less complicated. After meeting with a photographer, selecting a package, signing a contract, and setting a date for engagement photos, four months later my daughter discovered, the night before the engagement photos, that the photographer no longer worked for Brea, and somehow had not checked her messages in days. Praise to Brea herself, who stepped in at this critical moment to respond to e-mail notes and phone messages, and make the trip to our humble suburb to take care of the engagement photo session. I rationalized this stumble and recovery, imagining that many small business owners experience similar pains when entrusting work to others and/or taking a break. We experienced poor communication and flawed office procedures, followed by a good save by the boss. Subsequently, my daughter was assigned another photographer and assistant to complete the contract; the team arrived on time, and completed the job. Five weeks later, the results were available for viewing and download. Seven-hundred-plus wedding photos and perhaps 150 engagement photos. A photo booth for guests. In the end, there were approx. 1/3 the number of photos from my son's wedding by another firm last year, but perhaps more time given to editing out the duds, so it might be argued that the quality of these is higher. When I look at the photos, certainly I can see artistic shot framing and good photography skills. I also see a more pronounced worry line in the forehead of the bride's father.

Quite possibly the best photographer you'll find in the St. Louis area. Joel Conner has…read morephotographed many events for me in the past and has been incredibly reliable and consistent -- he usually shot the events himself, but if he was already booked, he would gladly send someone else in his spot. Photos turned out brighter and better than the others, and I'm not sure how he gets such great shots but I wasn't ever let down! I always had the photos in hand less than a few days later in easy file formats. No strings photographer willing to shoot weddings, kids photos, events, and pretty much whatever you need. Plus he's an all-around great guy! Give Joel a shout for all of your photo opportunities.

If you need a photographer in St. Louis, look no further…read more I've hired Jenn for both my professional headshots and a family session in the park and she was fantastic for both! I HATE having my photo taken, but she actually made the process fun and worked with me to produce really flattering headshots. I've gotten multiple compliments from friends and colleagues on my new headshots, and I would recommend her to any professional without hesitation. For our family photos, I was blown away by how patient she was with my 3 year old son, who was not in the mood to have photos taken the day of our shoot. She cheered him up in impressively short order, and ultimately she took gorgeous photos that captured our family's personality perfectly. And when I thought it couldn't get any better, she turned around the proofs and edits for both sessions very quickly! She was professional and communicative throughout, and I can't overstate just how much I've enjoyed working with her.

She provided amazing equipment that was simple to setup, and the end products were amazing. Her personality even helped drive people to our booth! Jenn is extremely passionate about her work and it definitely shows in her work ethic. We loved working with Jenn and would gladly work with her again!
