From the owner: Hello, thanks for coming to my page…read more I am the girl behind the camera. Where I help you create your lifelong memories. I am a full time mommy to three beautiful babies. I have always had a love for photography. You will never catch me without a camera in my hand capturing precious moments. Either of my clients, my kiddos, or even nature. Anything in sight really. This is what I shoot for in life. Pursing what I love and loving every second of it. I cannot wait to see all the beautiful families I can get in front of my camera.

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.

We were tasked to find a photographer to do head shots at our HPE Software booth, for a large…read moreconference we regularly attend. With a simple google search, we found Jenn's website and quickly received a response. Working with Jenn was a breeze from start to finish. She was extremely professional, accommodating, and listened to everything we needed/wanted while even suggesting ideas we didn't think of! She was easy-going and by far a pleasure to work with. 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!

Kim Lorenz of Creative Visions Photography is the the absolute best, most creative photographer…read more She was everywhere at both ours and our daughter's weddings. The way she wrangles and deals with reluctant and distracted people for family photos is quite amazing. Kim arrived very early and took many pictures from the beginning of make-up through the very end of the evening reception. Her creativity with shots is extremely impressive. She thinks of so many interesting aspects of the day that we would never have thought of and also kept track of the list of photos that we requested. Many people from both of our weddings mentioned how thorough and yet discreet she is. How do you do It Kim? I believe, just as you say, the love of taking amazing pictures that tell a beautiful story is your motivation.

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.

Sam and Shawn are genuinely the BEST people we know and the most incredible photographers…read more They have been apart of our family since 2018 I believe! They have been with me through so many life changes always capturing the most precious moments. Our kids love them so much and look forward to seeing both of them for photos. The kids have so much fun. Between the Easter with baby chicks and bunnies, valentines with the big LOVE sign, fruit stand photo shoots, Santa photo shoots with antique trucks and reindeer.....you'll always have a unique experience and photos. Plus you create magical memories in the studio. I mean the kids love Santa's bake shop every year eating candy with Santa! Memories they forever talk about. Do yourself a favor and call to book! You will not be disappointed!

We first used Mirage Photo 13+ years ago for our engagement photos. It was the first time I ever…read moreenjoyed having photos taken. We began at 10 am and I was shocked when then sun began to set! They took fantastic photos at our wedding and made the day even more special. The only drinks we actually ever got were personally delivered by our photographers. Since then, we have used them for every family photo session. They've taken newborn pictures, baby announcement pictures, holiday pictures, and fun special events. We get our Christmas and Easter pictures there every year, with amazing sets and often with adorable animals. Sam, Shawn, and Santa are all fun, friendly, relaxed, and gifted at finding the best photo moments, which can be especially difficult with 4 small children. I would recommend them to anyone looking for the best photos with the best people.

We've been using Emily for pictures of our son during his first year. I wanted 3,6,9, and 12 month…read morepictures, and she was able to let me create a package that worked for what we wanted. I had shopped around quite a bit and her prices were really fair for what we were asking. There are definitely other photographers out there with lower quality work that are charging a lot more. So far we have done 3 and 6 month pictures and they are great. During our first session my son was really fussy since he was teething and hadn't had much of a nap that day. I thought for sure we wouldn't get many good pictures because he was in such a bad mood, but Emily was able to catch him smiling, and we got a lot of really cute pictures! When it was time for our 6 month pictures we had scheduled a time to meet at our home for the shoot. Again my son was having a hard time getting a good nap in, I called Emily and asked if it was possible push back 30 minutes in the hopes that we could get at least a few minutes of sleep in so he wouldn't cry during our whole session. She was really flexible and told us to just call whenever he woke up. He was able to get a good solid nap in and we really appreciated the flexibility that day. And again the pictures were amazing. She has really been able to capture his personality and us as a family together. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a photographer in the StL area. She has done a great job capturing our son's first year so far, and I can't wait for our next 2 sessions. We wouldn't hesitate to book more sessions with her in the future!
