Brea McAnally has that rare quality in the world of photography—an artist’s eye. Each photograph is a thoughtful composition as well as a conversation. Whether it is a bride’s first step down the aisle, a fashion designer’s woven fabric finding new meaning, or a dance troupe’s measured pirouettes, the viewer is left with a unique experience of that moment and a story to carry with them. Her creativity and exquisite taste are left humming on the surface of every photograph.

It has not taken long for others to catch on. In addition to numerous weddings and model portfolios, she has already worked with the Foundry Art Center in St. Charles, the American Heart Association, the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts. Blurring the line between personal, commercial, and artistic work, Brea’s photography does more than capture the scene—it captures the moods, the emotions, and the conversations outside the frame.

Photography is not just about technical excellence-- when you invite someone in to document the most important moments of your life, you must be at ease with them. After only moments with Brea, one sees why everyone in her photographs look not only natural, but more beautiful than they have ever looked. She finds the light in her subjects and photographs it. One can imagine few people who could better show us this world, as it is, in the eye of an artist.
