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!
It was one of the coldest days in November, but we kept the photo shoot going and took some amazing photos in the Iselin’s new beautiful home! They just moved in about a week prior to the shoot! Charlie is 6 months and we have some adorable shots of him in his nursery.
This was one of the funniest and most memorable photo shoots I have done. We got quite a few nice photos even though the boys were so rambunctious - they just kept wanting to throw rocks in the creek. Then later we found a cool field and in the middle taking photos, Berkley fell into some deer turds, so funny! Love these two boys though and cannot believe how they have grown since last year!
Even though it rained most of the day, Jason and Roxanne had a gorgeous wedding inside the Defiance Ridge Vineyards. We walked around the grounds and managed to get some nice shots outside too. I just loved being part of Jason and Roxanne’s day, they have such great family and friends and the cutest little girl! Congratulations to Jason and Roxanne!
Just love taking photos of these two sisters and their parents. Such fun and silliness for this session and we got some really nice photos. The lighting in the park was so pretty and it was such a beautiful day with a wonderful family!
Drew is close to 6 months old and look at his head of amazing hair! What a cutie! I got to photograph his debut to the world and now he is such a handsome baby with a dashing head of hair! We managed to get a few nice family photos worked in there, although big brother did not want to look at the camera at all! So funny!
Another session with the Mohnke family is in the books! I have had so much fun getting to know this family the past 4 years! My how time flies!
Wow, this little dude just kept running! He has so much energy! We got some great shots even though Calvin didn’t want to stand still. Such a fun family and can’t believe how much this cute boy has grown since last fall!
Such a beautiful wedding and a beautiful couple inside and out. What a privilege it was to photograph their wedding at their family farm in Illinois. So unique and special!
Miguel and Marissa tied the knot at a beautiful secluded spot called Polestar Marina right off the Mississippi river. It was a gorgeous day! They had their reception at the Spazio Westport. Getting to know this couple over this year, was so fun! I ended up doing their engagement photos and then family photos for the bride’s family. Lastly, I had the honor of shooting their wedding day! I couldn’t help post this sneak peek of their day - check it out!
I can’t even decide how to limit the number of photos to post for this session, these kiddos are just too cute! I don’t know if I have ever captured so many genuine smiles of two little ones in one session before. We had so much fun with this family. Sebastian and Katie used to live in St. Louis and are good friends of my husband and I. They decided to get some photos done while visiting family in STL and I am so glad they did! We hadn’t seen them since they had kids and gotten married so it was so nice to meet their two littles Miles and Meara.
Such a beautiful September wedding at the Stone House of St. Charles. This was one of the prettiest venues I have been to as a wedding photographer. The outdoor ceremony space combined with the rustic reception space was the perfect setting for Joshua and Alyssa’s special day. Surrounded by so many loved ones and friends, these two tied the knot and celebrated their love. They even had a special guest!! Louie, the St. Louis Blues Hockey mascot dropped in to say congratulations to the happy couple!
Ethan is turning one year old! He was so happy and smiley through the whole session! Such a sweet baby! His siblings, Cora and Will were also so sweet and happy, the session went so well! Loved getting to know this family and the photos turned out pretty great too!
Had one of the most fun shoots in a long time! I got to create some magic with ice cream! Tower Grove Creamery hired me to do some photography and we got creative. Love how they turned out!
Another family session on the blog! What a sweet family! I took the Lingua’s wedding photos a few years ago and now they have a darling little girl name Mazzie and their two other super cool kiddos. We met at the Rau Garden, which is a really pretty park in St. Charles. I think the family photos turned out pretty good considering Mazzie wasn’t too into smiling, but she loved sticking out her little tongue! So funny!
I took newborn photos of this little dude and now I have taken photos of him as a one year old! Time flew by because I just can’t believe it has been a year already! We did a really fun session in Lafayette Park with even a cake smash!! Boy did he love it! He definitely got the hang of the cake SMASH part! Such a cutie!
Another mommy and me session is on the blog, but this time it was taken at an apple orchard! Kelly and Sadie picked some apples at a cute orchard out in St. Charles, called Herman’s Farm Orchard. We had so much fun this morning and I think the photos turned out so cute!
Excited to share a sneak peek of my cousin Cassie’s family with all their little ones! I just love all the individual shots of their kiddos with their own little personalities. We only had a short time to do the shoot, but I think we got some good ones! It was so fun to get see them all even just for a short time!
One of my favorite families is on the blog! My husband and I took a trip to see this family and meet my best friend's little girl. It was the first time we met Ava and we had the best time all together! We decided to do a fun shoot at a secluded little park off Lake Michigan - it was so natural and beautiful! Might be a bit biased but I had the best time taking their photos and at such a cool location!
Corey and Aimee just got married yesterday! I had the privilege of photographing one of my dearest friend's weddings. It was a gorgeous day for this amazing couple and I am so excited to share the photos from their special day. We took photos at an abandoned church and a few other fun spots. Their venue for their ceremony and reception is a new venue in St. Louis called Anew. Their rooftop ceremony was beautiful. Couldn't have been a better day! Congratulations to Corey + Aimee!
This little man was just born Aug. 4th, 2018! We have been impatiently waiting for his arrival and now that he is here, safe and sound his parents and friends and family could not be any more thrilled! This rainbow baby made his debut and we say hello handsome! I have had the privilege to take photos for this couple for their engagement photos, wedding photos, maternity photos and now for the arrival of their first baby!
