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.

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!

She has a great set up for the baby pictures with lots of options for props and accessories. She was so gentle and patient with the baby and got so many great shots. She was also great with my 2.5 year old son and able to get some great family pictures too. Stephanie was always very prompt in replying to messages and she took the time to discuss the sessions ahead of time to make sure we were on the same page with what kind of feel we wanted for the photos. Final edited images were available quickly. I couldn't have been happier with our experience and we will definitely be using Stephanie again.

Getting photos done for our family reunion was a painless process thanks to Don at Lux Media…read more Thank you so much not only for the beautiful shots, but also for your passion and vision throughout! Don is so easy to work with, punctual and responsive. Our crew had a ton of people (including young kids and some adults who don't particularly like getting pictures taken) but his direction and advice led to gorgeous photos across the board. He was patient and professional, but also made you feel at ease. Getting the reunion dinner set up was a huge undertaking, so it was definitely a load off to have the pictures go so smoothly. We really appreciated how communicative he was and the fact that he showed up early was one less thing to worry about!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DON FROM LUX MEDIA FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEOGRAPHY!!!…read more I hired don for my maternity shoot, and am more than happy with the results. Not only was he on time for the shoot but he was very patient, and knows how to capture the PERFECT angle / shot! He is so worth it! He's very responsive with texts/calls and very kind! He pays very close attention to details, and literally makes the photos look SO magical yet NATURAL. Don is truly skillful and talented at what he does. Highly recommend giving him a shot if you're looking for a photographer / videographer.

When starting to plan my wedding, I knew the single most important vendor I was going to be working…read morewith was the photographer. It was the first thing I started looking for after my engagement, and one of the first people I hired. I knew the photography would be how I remembered, and my future children saw my wedding for years to come. When I found Jon Koch's work, I realized it was exactly what I wanted. I felt emotional looking at photos from a stranger's wedding day. Start to finish, I felt like I was there. He captured the entire feeling of the day. I knew photography was not something I was willing to compromise on, and was willing to pay for the right one. And, I think Jon's prices are worth every penny. He worked with us on our engagement shoot, and a boudoir shoot for myself, and on our wedding day. His assistant, Kate, was wonderful as well, and was able to get some interesting angles on a lot of shots. Jon is professional and such a sweet guy. He captured our wedding in a very personal and beautiful way. He explains his philosophy on his website as: "I use photojournalism as my starting point, but my coverage is more than just recording what happens- it's documentation infused with fashion and fine art." And that is exactly what I see when I look back at our photos.

If you are looking for a photographer in St. Louis look no further!! My husband and I had truly the…read moremost amazing experience with Jon. He is incredibly professional but above that very kind and understanding and here is why, My husband and I had a very intimate ceremony, just the priest and 2 witnesses,so I relied solely on photos to share this experience with both of our families. Jon totally captured the moment, so much so that both families felt as if they had been present and that is exactly what I wanted since they could not attend. It was intimate, it was romantic and it was classic. Our pictures turned out so much better than I could have ever expected! So here is where the understanding part comes in to play, unfortunately it rained on our wedding day and we had planned to have the majority of our pictures that were not taken in the church, in different locations outside. Jon was nice enough to reschedule that half of the shoot (a little over an hour) at our convenience. Well, as you know this is St. Louis and the weather is often unpredictable so the following week it was bitter cold! A high of about 20 degrees but it wasn't raining so I was determined to get the photos done! Jon went out with us and even though he was freezing, he took the most beautiful photos and we don't even look cold!!!!! I was so impressed by his professionalism and his willingness to do just a about anything to make us happy. He even helped us work out a payment that was right for us. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about our experience with Jon. Unbelievable photos and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, he will not disappoint!!

I've quoted some highlights from my experience here, but you can go to the bottom, to read my entire story... "...I reflected on everything I've already accomplished. I have come so far and that deserves to be celebrated!" "Terra made the entire process wonderful." "...if you've never done this before,... The thought of stripping down to your birthday suit, or close to it, in front of a total stranger is scary!" "Terra was constantly reassuring, keeping the mood light, and full of positivity. She made it easy for me to relax..." "It was a very empowering experience. At the end of the day, I honestly felt so beautiful, powerful, and confident! And I truly believe that it was Terra's process, positive energy, and personality that made me feel this way." "That was the most amazing experience of my lifetime!... She started with my favorite outfit... By the end, it was just me and your guitar. Felt amazing!" My story: I have overcome some really, really tough circumstances in the last few years. And last summer, for the first time in over 10 years, I began focussing on me. I put myself first and set out to become a healthier version of my former self. One of my goals was to lose 100 lbs. That's a lofty goal, but after 6 months of hard work and discipline, I'd lost 50 lbs. I was halfway to my goal and then my weight loss stalled out. I'd always told myself, "when I get to my goal weight, I'll reward myself with a boudoir session." But having stalled, and even backpedaled a bit on my weight loss journey, I reflected on everything I've already accomplished. I have come so far and that deserves to be celebrated! So I began my search for a photographer. Earthkind was about the third photographer that popped up on my search. The name "Earthkind" immediately caught my attention because I am a very natural person. I rarely wear make-up, try to eat whole foods, use natural cleaning products, and have a little homestead with where I grow my own vegetables and go out each morning to collect eggs from my chickens. When I began looking through Terra's portfolio, I knew she was "the one." Terra made the entire process wonderful. From the very first conversation, I could tell she was "my people." When I arrived for the shoot, she greeted me with a smile and helped me carry my things in. I've got to be honest, the whole thing was so awkward at first, if you've never done this before, it's just going to be. The thought of stripping down to your birthday suit, or close to it, in front of a total stranger is scary! Her hairdresser and make-up artist (who were both great too!) got straight to work fussing over me and I was offered something to drink. They began chatting with me and that helped me become more comfortable as I realized they were simply normal people just like me. They kept my look natural because I'd mentioned my desire to "still look like me." Once I was all done up, Terra went through a couple of really unexpected, but very powerful and calming, exercises. Next, we headed to the dressing room to discuss my goals for the shoot and look through the items I brought, including my boyfriend's guitar. She said she'd never used a guitar as a prop, but I loved that she was excited to see how we could work it in! When we began the actual photoshoot, it was really awkward. I'm just a very shy and modest person and this was totally out of my normal comfort zone. Terra was constantly reassuring, keeping the mood light, and full of positivity. She made it easy for me to relax and begin to feel more and more comfortable in my own skin. It was a very empowering experience. At the end of the day, I honestly felt so beautiful, powerful, and confident! And I truly believe that it was Terra's process, positive energy, and personality that made me feel this way. To sum it all up, this was the text I sent to my boyfriend as I walked back out to my car: "That was the most amazing experience of my lifetime! She was so awesome. I cannot wait to see these photos!!! She started with my favorite outfit that I was most comfortable in and slowly worked to fewer and fewer clothes. By the end, it was just me and your guitar. Felt amazing!"

I reached out to Emily and we had an initial call to discuss my event, vision, location and most importantly, my expectations. Emily asked me questions I hadn't considered as a consumer.
