Gina

Professional Photographic Artist

Gina has been a professional photographer in St. Louis for twenty two years. As owner of her own business, Art By Gina, she decided to partner with Kelly to form Lace with the vision of bringing together artistically talented photographers to do what they love, as well as giving back to their community. Gina graduated from Southern University of Illinois at Edwardsville with a BA in photography and art. She has continued her education as a member of PPA and WPPI. Gina has also photographed weddings in Kansas City, Chicago, Key West, and Arizona.

Gina's photography approach is not only artistic, but extremely quick, as she often anticipates splendid photo opportunities as they unfold. Her style is a combination of creativity and photojournalism driven by her shoot-from-the-hip attitude. Her personality is upbeat, and her images speak for themselves. In addition to weddings, Gina also photographs children, families, and high school teens. She actively sponsors and contributes to over fifteen charities.

Highlights: Gina photographed several NFL celebrities for Kurt Warner's charity foundation First Things First, and she was selected to photograph Tim McGraw during his "Meet and Greet" after his concert performance in St. Louis. She has also photographed Randy Travis in concert, had photos published in Maximum Magazine, worked with Albert Pujols and much more.

Gina and her husband reside in Wildwood with their two children.

My vision is for Lace to become a photography business like no other in St. Louis. It is my vision to have a great group of photographers to share in this adventure. I want to not only allow these photographers the artistic freedom to capture events but also will graciously give back to those less fortunate in our communities. It is my true goal to honor God and help people through the talent with which he has blessed us. These photographers were carefully chosen to be a part of Lace because of both their unique and complementary talents. They are experienced, professional, and have the most amazing personalities you will ever encounter. This is more than a job to us; it is our passion and our contribution, and it is sincerely reflected in our art.
