Hawes Photography open house this Friday

Members of the KC Art Community Relocate to Cherokee Street

 

Hawes Photography is the newest business to join the thriving community on Cherokee Street. This creative photography studio specializes in nontraditional wedding, family and high school senior portraits, commercial photography and fine art commissions. 

 

"Think about portraits you’d get at Wal-mart," Aaron Hawes, owner and photographer, said. "We do the exact opposite."

 

Hawes Photography moved their business from Kansas City to serve the local wedding market and expand their commercial presence. "A few years ago we put out a small ad in St. Louis for creative wedding photography," Hawes said. "We were getting so many contacts from brides in the area that we knew there was a real need for our style of photography here."

 

The move positions the studio in the heart of an area of the city experiencing a renaissance. "There’s a great community here on Cherokee Street, and we’re excited to be part of it," Hawes said. The studio, located at 2307 Cherokee Street in the former Boots Gallery space, also offers a limited number of fine art prints and vintage cameras for sale.

 

The media and the public are invited to attend a ‘Meet the Photographers’ open house from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, February 18, at the studio, 2307 Cherokee St., St. Louis. For more information, visit www.hawesphotography.com or call Heather Hawes at 314-932-1300.
