Could you use a hype team?

We’re your brand’s biggest cheerleaders

and your secret weapon to success

Hi, we’re Roger & Karin!

  • We're not just your average photographers; we're entrepreneurs who get the struggle (and the reward!) of running your own show.

    We're a husband-and-wife photography team who've been navigating the small business life for over 20 years
    (click the arrow for more >)

  • We spent two decades capturing wedding magic, but in our "free time" we also built a few businesses from the ground up.

    Now, we're all about helping other dreamers like you turn their ideas into reality with the power of captivating brand photography.

  • We believe small businesses are the heart and soul of any community, and we want to see you thrive!

    We understand the never-ending need for fresh content to showcase what you do, but also the limited time to actually create it yourself

  • We've been there. We've walked the walk, from running a non-profit to building a global product line to even inventing something totally new.

    We get the hustle, the content grind, and the importance of finding someone who actually knows what they're doing and delivers every time.

  • We pride ourselves on creating a chill and friendly client experience.

    We're not your typical stuffy photographers; we're real people who make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and let your true personality shine!

  • We created our Signature Brand Photography Shoot – a treasure trove of images designed to fuel your social media, website, and marketing needs

    But it's not just about the pictures (although, let's be honest, those are pretty important too!) We want to capture your true personality and the magic that makes your brand unique.

GET TO KNOW US:

  • While "optimistic" might be an understatement, her infectious enthusiasm fuels the creative fire behind the lens. She dreams up captivating visuals that tell your unique brand story and has mastered the art of over-delivering. Small businesses hold a special place in her heart, which is why you'll find her volunteering as a board member of the local Chamber of Commerce, always advocating for her community's entrepreneurial spirit. So rest assured, you're not just hiring a photographer; you're gaining a champion for your brand and a friend who gets your hustle.

  • Roger is the detail-oriented perfectionist who enjoys being able to do all the things to ensure everything runs smoothly. With an attention for detail, Roger handles all our e-commerce product photos and leaves the creativity and social media department to Karin. Don't let his perfectionist exterior fool you, though. You can catch him most days immersed in a DIY project or exploring hidden corners of the outdoors, fueled by an ever-present thirst for discovery and adventure.
    Roger has a heart for helping people, which is why he enjoys working with businesses and brands that want to grow and succeed.
    (Also, Roger hated getting his photo taken for this, so he can completely empathize with our male clients who think being photographed is pure torture)

  • Rubie, our Goldendoodle puppy, isn't just our furry shadow; she's a full-fledged member of the team! (and the cutest member to boot) Her days are jam-packed with crucial tasks like rigorous napping and an endless supply of cuddles while editing. Don't be fooled by her sweet demeanor though, she often demands a steady stream of snacks and belly rubs.

P.S. We photograph products nationwide, so even if you're not in the St. Louis area, we can help!

“We value all the effort and love TenSixteen puts into their work. You can see the love they have for our business and family and how our success is important to them.”
