About the Photographer
Hello! My name is Halle DeRagisch, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a 24-year-old photographer based between St. Louis and Peoria. I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a BFA in Photography, where I was able to deepen both my creative and technical approach to the craft.
I first picked up a camera seven years ago and quickly fell in love with photography. What started as a class has grown into a business that I’m incredibly grateful for. Alongside photography, I also work full-time as a social media manager, which has given me a strong eye for storytelling, composition, and creating meaningful visual content.
My education and experience allow me to support my clients in ways that go far beyond simply taking photos. My goal is always to make you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process—from the first conversation to the final gallery—so your photos feel natural, genuine, and truly reflective of you.
