Portraits in Saint Louis
Hi, I’m Alanna Maria. The face behind the lens, and I love to capture life’s big moments and all that makes your story, your brand, and your family unique.
Stepping in front of a lens can feel vulnerable, I know this and I’m here to guide you through it, no stress.
Whether it’s for dating, branding, family, or those big celebratory moments, I focus on capturing the version of you that feels both elevated and authentic; images that hold a little softness, a little strength, and a little glimpse of your story.
a civil engineer
I’m a civil engineer by trade & a portrait photographer by passion. I specialize in making you the main character, creating guided, relaxed, & intentional sessions that result in genuine & stunning portraits.
I've worn a few hats
Before photography, I’ve worn quite a few hats, [besides engineering] including: Forest School aide, wedding caterer, & Editor-in-Chief. I’m also trained in prenatal dance fitness & education. When I’m not behind the camera, you may find me on a river, out-&-about with my son, or gardening! (this tree photograph, with my son, was taken by Jason.)
endlessly curious
I’m 30 something, endlessly curious, an amateur bachatera, outnumbered by my cats, and… I believe that everyone deserves to have beautiful imagery of themselves that is both empowering & sentimental. Let’s create an epic legacy & family heirlooms for you.
