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!
Another cute family mini-session on the blog today! Don't you just love the trees and spring feel in these photos?! The other thing I love is baby Frank's infectious smile! He was so happy and smiled the whole session, he made me smile the whole time too! Just reminds us how wonderful life is.
Look at those cheeks on that baby! Such a smiley little guy! Another mini-session on the blog!
Grayson is growing and getting to be a handsome boy! We had a beautiful day for a spring mini-session at Tower Grove Park. Grayson wasn't really into smiling at first, but after some playing and wearing his hat he warmed up a bit more. Such a fun shoot with some pretty awesome friends!
What a joy to meet these two. We had so much fun in Soulard at their park they hang out near their home. Such a cool location for two awesome people!
These two are getting married later this year! They wanted to go to their special spot near the river. It was a unique location with so many colors on the building and an overgrown area. It was a quick photo shoot, but I think we got quite a few great photos of these two lovebirds! With only 30 minutes of time together, you can just tell how much they love each other.
Love love love newborn sessions, they are just sooo different than any other type of session. We had so much fun with Mazzy and putting together outfits and holding her. She is so precious!
This gorgeous mama and her beautiful family wanted to get some photos done before their newest member of the family would arrive. They are expecting - any day now I bet - baby Camilla!
I've gotten the privilege of photographing this little girl since she was born! It's been so fun to watch her grow and see her at each big stage of growing during her first year. We had a blast planning this photo shoot too - love this theme! Yummy donuts! Happy Birthday to this little peanut! I hope to keep capturing special moments for her and her family.
Teagan had a hard time getting camera ready ;) She was a bit timid and shy and didn't really want anything to do with getting photos taken... but.. we got quite a few great photos of this cute little lady! We had a really fun time playing and running around and exploring the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Happy Birthday Teagan!
Clara's parents wanted to take her one year old photos at the zoo and then do a cake smash at home. We made it happen! We had so much fun at the zoo and walked around to the polar bear exhibit, sea lion exhibit and the butterfly house. Perfect places for a chilly day! Happy birthday to Clara! What a doll!
This handsome boy is growing and growing! He has the bluest eyes! We got a few smiles out of him, but he seemed to be more curious about what was going on! Such a cutie! Big thanks to RISE coffee for letting us do the photo session there!
Patrick called me and asked if I shoot proposals and I said , "Yes, definitely! What do you have in mind?" He continued to explain his plan and we kept in contact texting and so excited for the big event. He wanted to propose in Kiener Plaza in front of the arch at sunset and then continue to 360 to celebrate. We made it happen! It couldn't have been more perfect! He even had this personalized wooden ring box along with an inside joke of a ring pop - well done Patrick!
A winter engagement session! These two are getting married in June and even better - I will be getting a new sister in-law soon!
One of my favorite weddings! This was the last wedding of 2017 and it was a winter themed wedding with Christmas decorations! So beautiful and so is the couple. These two have known my husband since high school and it was so fun and special to be part of their wedding day. There are quite a few photos!
One of the sweetest couples I have met! This was one of the coldest days of the fall and raining on top of it! Their whole wedding party and John and Rachel were amazing and trusted me to take them to Thies Farm & Greenhouse to do photos! Big thanks to Thies Farm for providing the space!! We were limited on indoor locations for photos and I am glad they ran with my vision! We ended up with some of my favorite images ever! Plus we had a ton of fun! Congratulations to these two love birds!
Wrapping the year up with my future sister in-law's family photo session! She and her brothers wanted to get together for a photo shoot for their mom's birthday! How sweet and thoughtful! It couldn't have been a better day!
One of my favorite sessions yet! This was one of my first in-home documentary sessions and I think it turned out great! What could be better than hot chocolate and marshmallows or playing with your baby brother! Also - the house is pretty spectacular! A pirate ship room! - Can't beat that!
Holiday mini-session in Forest Park! It was a lovely day and a lovely family. Max and Lily are Sean and Sarah's cute kiddos and Lily is just 8 weeks old!
Love this family! We had a lot of fun at the World's Fair Pavilion here in St. Louis! Their boys Nolan and Berkley are such sweeties.
Oh my those eyes! Such a beautiful baby girl!
One of the first holiday mini-sessions done for this year! We ended up going to Faust Park. There were so many people there we had to go to a bit less crowded spot. We had a lot of fun! These cute Bunch boys are growing up so fast!
