About

Hello Brides and Grooms! Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! I am so excited to meet you as potential clients, but most importantly, you as a couple! Engagement sessions are such a great time for us to get to know each other! In our communication about your day, I want to be sure that YOUR vision is captured and expressed well with my expertise.

A little about me? I'm a ball of energy! I know how to lay low and out of sight during an event while still doing my job and how to take charge and organize when the time calls. I love to laugh, try to cook and the outdoors. Photography and painting are my passions in life.

In life, I recognize that to exist is powerful, fragile and is often taken for granted. People and memories are irreplaceable and I provide a keen eye and strive to reinvent the photography experience by providing a relaxed, fun environment that allows your true nature and personality to glow. I provide personal assistance during your wedding planning for a more pleasurable experience overall. Everyday I look forward to memorable moments - whether they are my own or ones lived through my clients. Our mission is to provide outstanding service, an enjoyable experience in front of the camera as well as photographs you will love.

Time to chat! What do you desire from your photographer? I want to know! I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Easy Breezy!

Gara was FANTASTIC! I used her for family photos (9 adults, 4 kids of various ages) and the session couldn't have gone better. Gara was totally easy-breezy, laid back, and flexible. She had no problem giving the kids to have breaks to run around and allowed us to take absolutely as many photos as we wanted. She posed us in several creative ways, and also captured some fun spontaneous moments with the family. She had the pictures edited and returned to me 3 days after the shoot and they are awesome! I can't recommend Gara enough, I would hire her to shoot my wedding if it was in St. Louis. Thanks again, Gara!

Gara is not just a fantastic photographer she is also a wonderful person. Anytime we have an event in St. Louis I choose her to be our photographer. I have also used her for family pictures in Central Missouri. She has a great eye and honestly, I really enjoy her on a personal level. I highly recommend Gara.

She so sweet and patient with us. She took photos that I did not even think of. She did a wonderful job capturing the special moments for our family. She was even able to capture some candid shots of our silly moments. We will remember this special day for many many years to come. I would recommend her for any special occasion that you have. Thank you so much!

I am so thankful Gara has been able to photograph so many special moments with my husband and I, all three of our babies and my extended family. She is professional, patient and an amazingly gifted artist. She is worth every penny!

Gara is an awesome photographer! She offers an artistic eye that not every photographer can offer. For my wedding she met me at the venue prior to the event to take a look around and get an idea of what I was looking for in my wedding photos. We connected instantly. She is warm and friendly and most importantly professional. On the day of the event she arrived early. Since we had already went over my expectations she began gathering photos of the dress, shoes, and jewelry. She wasted no time at all. If I was busy she used her time to take photos of the guests and the groomsmen. It was a very long day and she stayed awesome throughout. We even did photos at our honeymoon room. She went above and beyond. We expected our photos to be returned to us about 2 weeks later and we received them about 3 days after our wedding! We were super excited because we were able to take them on our honeymoon. I have also used Gara for family photos and for the birth of our daughter. Every time I receive the same great service! She is excellent. You absolutely have to use her if you want great, professional, ARTISTIC photos that you can cherish for the rest of your life.

Gara was the head photographer for our wedding. Gara worked with us on our schedule of photographs as well as lining up our family and making the shots move quickly! She was patient with everyone, yet firm because she wanted to maximize the number of shots during the time frame we had. Her shots were clean crisp and taken from really good angles. Her eye for a good photograph was amazing! I will cherish these photos for years to come.

Gara was amazing!! Our pictures are incredible!! The tuxedo company that I used asked permission to use some of her photos from our wedding in one of their advertisement campaigns! Communication with her was incredibly easy and she was so friendly and extremely professional! She made our entire wedding party and guests feel comfortable, and we shared a ton of laughs! She traveled over 500 miles to be with us and we couldn't have been happier with our pictures and are so glad and appreciative that she made the journey for us! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gara for your photography needs! You will be so happy that you chose her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
