It's no secret that the music scene in St. Louis is diverse and lively. With local concerts, live music events, and more, there's always something fun to attend year-round.


Over the last two years, I've had the opportunity to capture many music events, from local instrumentalists to shows in Springfield, Illinois. These are some of my favorite shots I got in the action.

Almost Dangerous | Professional Event Photgraphy

Let me introduce you to the musical stylings of Almost Dangerous, a local St. Louis, Missouri band of rocking musicians. I had the opportunity to catch them in action- here are some of my favorite shots from their live show.

Based in St. Louis, MO, Almost Dangerous plays 60s-90's pop, classic and alternative rock, and many crowd favorites. When they needed a professional photographer to capture them live, I loved soaking in the music while capturing their unique vibe.



Dual Piano

More recently, I had the pleasure of traveling to Springfield, Illinois to capture some hilarious moments at “Dual Piano” featuring local musicians Mark Gifford and Damien Kaplan at Hoogland Center for the Arts.


The show is a mix of popular songs arranged for piano with many unexpected twists and turns. I had a great time capturing their energy as they lit up the stage.



The Still Waiting Band

Over the summer, I had the chance to cover photography for The Still Waiting Band. This group of passionate musicians describe themsleves as "a bunch of creative types who like to get together and play music. Covering blues, soul, and rock from the 70s up."


The Great Grizzly Bear, where they played, made for a picturesque venue. The beautiful, sunny day paired with the band members' expressive music made for a dynamic photoshoot with as much movement as the tunes they played.

Looking for photography coverage for your St. Louis area band or venue? I'll capture images from every moment that you can use for websites, social media, posters, and any other promotions you need.
