Anna Ruck Photography is not taking any new sessions at this time. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience or confusion. We are focusing on our family and our health at this time.
Thanks for checking out my work!
This little boy is going to be a big brother soon and he is excited! We were able to catch the sunset during the photo shoot and got some great shots near Creve Coeur Lake - just beautiful! So happy for this sweet family to welcome another baby to the family!
Quite a few lovely photos of these two as they expect their first baby! They brought along a cute pair of shoes and an adorable teddy bear with their last name as a tag, and it was a perfect addition for their maternity session! I will have to steal the idea for other sessions in the future - it is too cute!
Their due date is tomorrow! They ended up booking a session last minute after hearing about me from one of their friends. I am so glad we could fit them in and capture such precious photos! We even beat the rain and weather since it was supposed to storm that afternoon and into the evening. It turned out to be a great session with perfect lighting. I think it was fate ;)
Congratulations to this sweet couple!
We ventured out to a really amazing location! Loved taking photos of this little guy, he was so adorable and you can tell he's a daddy's boy, but he's got his mama's smile! I couldn't narrow these down farther, so you have to check them out! Had a blast being the photographer at the Baby Kid Expo and being part of the giveaways!
This little girl was such a sweetie and so friendly to everyone during the photo shoot. Anytime someone would walk by she would stop and wave and say "hi". She didn't know me at all, but when I first arrived and met the family she wanted me to hold her right off the bat! I even got a fist bump! We had a lot of fun, but when we neared the end of the photo session she was getting tired. Being a model is hard work! We captured lots of nice photos - just take a look!
Here is the newest addition to this family! The dogs were quite curious about their new brother and we got some fun shots with the family pups. Cute baby boy Grant is brand new to the world and I had such a fun time taking his photos. He gave me a little bit of a hard time and didn't want to sleep hardly at all during his newborn photo shoot, but we managed to get some precious photos. I love his little face and facial expressions! Love the family shots we got too. So much love!
Found a great spot to take family photos of a couple and their kids and grandkids! We even fed the ducks and had such a fun time!
The Long family are expecting another baby! We found such a pretty spot to do these photos and love the morning light through the trees. How exciting to add another little one to the family! Excited to share these precious moments before their next one arrives.
This sweet baby was born to a dear friend and her husband. Jessica, Brad and Greta are now a family and I am so happy to have the opportunity to take photos for them! Greta's first photos!
Met a great family that have settled down in St. Louis from Pheonix, AZ! They wanted to document their little boy's 4 month old stage of life and I think we did! I couldn't get over all the faces he made, what an adorable baby boy! See for yourself!
The Pearsons were celebrating their wedding anniversary in St. Louis and wanted to get some photos taken! We had a great session around the Chase Park Plaza and on the streets of the Central West End.
Family photo shoot in the park! Sometimes, you just don't want your photo taken! One of the girls, just didn't want her picture taken. We got as many as we could, but couldn't get them all together! The littlest one made my day and wanted to give me a hug and a kiss! Love meeting new families!
An outdoor wedding at Mills Apple Farm in Marine, IL. We were racing the clock with a bad storm that was on it's way to ruin the ceremony, but it stayed away until they cut the cake! It was such a beautiful and perfect wedding! It is one of my favorite locations I've shot so far for some gorgeous woodsy shots of the bride and groom.
Everyone was under the pavillion and had eaten their dinner when the storm blew threw. We pressed on and everyone pitched in to help the decor not blow away and at the end when everything settled, everyone had a great time! Loved how these turned out, such a sweet couple too!
This little guy was born about a month ago and he had his first photoshoot ever when he was about 10 days old! Baby Grayson couldn't be cuter and I was excited to take his photos in my new office/studio space! I bet he's got a modeling career ahead of him - he had the best faces!
Had a blast shooting Mike and Hannah's wedding! The ceremony was held at the beautiful Old Stone Chapel in Historic St. Charles, MO and we even got to take photos at their rehearsal dinner spot - Hendrick's BBQ! We also walked the coblestone streets of Historic St. Charles, MO to do a few more photos and then ended the evening at their reception. Congrats to Mike and Hannah!
These two are getting married in November! We took photos at their spot in the park. You can just see how much fun they have together and how in love they are! I can't wait to photograph their wedding later this year.
Fun group photo shoot to surprise the birthday girl! We had some special photos to shoot, capturing the bond shared between each person and DeAnna. Gifts were given that symbolized a special meaning about each relationship with DeAnna. We also did a group shot that represented who DeAnna has as her support group and faded out each person to just DeAnna, solo. Creative and unique way to show how much they love DeAnna!
Had a blast running around with this cutie and taking photos! She loves her minnie mouse! One of my favorite moments was when she just carried minnie mouse around with her and minnie mouse is the same size as she is! Oh how fun to be so small and precious!
I started photographing this family when I was just starting as a photographer and took their senior photos once upon a time. Now, Ben has his Master's degree and Grace graduated with a double major! How awesome! Love this family and so glad I was able to capture their special accomplishments.
We were running around a lot in this shoot! Much different from the first time I shot these cool chics! Mila never likes to sit still and always exploring! We had a lot of fun spinnin, picking berries, finding sticks and all the things that interest you when you're 6 years old!
Proud and excited to share some favorites from my very first paid food photography gig! Had so much fun! I hope I get to do more soon.
