Beautiful Life Studio

Thank you Mary!
We were on a multi-​generational family vacation in Innsbrook, MO and I found Mary here and contacted her VERY last minute for a quick informal photo shoot of us at the VRBO we rented. She was on time and immediately helped us find a few locations to shoot inside and out. I was really just hoping for a group shot of all (14) of us, but Mary offered to do individual family shots as well. We got GREAT images to absolutely treasure for years to come. All in a 30 minute shoot. I am so thankful I went out on a limb and contacted her!

Mary Rust doesn’t just take pictures, she is an artist with the camera. Highly recommended!

Mary is wonderful person and awesome photographer! We received Amazing pictures for both my son’s engagement and wedding. We had her all over the Ozarks from castles to boat rides with no complaints. The pictures show how talented she is. She is a sweet lady, very easy to work with totally fulfilled her contract and more!

Mary has been in our life during very emotional and important milestones. She has photographed our engagement, wedding, yearly Christmas photos, and the first year of my child’s life. I consider her our family photographer. Mary is creative, hardworking, honest, very open in all forms of communication. She has earned my highest form of respect, I trust her to capture my families most treasured moments. I have referred her to many friends, coworkers, and strangers solely on her professionalism and quality of work. She is a true artist and a talent. She is prompt and very reasonably priced. She is willing to work with any budget, environment, idea, and timeline. Work with Mary… You will not be disappointed!!!

I have known and had Mary as my go-​to photographer for almost 6 years. She truly has a special way of being informative, making you feel comfortable, and ultimately, beautiful in front of her camera.
During one of our shoots I was a hot, sweaty, pregnant girl who’s shoes wouldn’t fit. She managed to make me feel and look glamorous and we had a good laugh about the shoes.
I highly recommend Mary for any occasion. I have had the pleasure of using her for modeling photos, wedding, maternity, newborn, and anything creative that comes across my mind. I’m happy to know her as both a person and a photographer. She has a knack for capturing the mood and feelings behind a photo and doesn’t use boring, standard poses or lighting. Her work truly speaks for itself.
With Beautiful Life Studio Photography you will receive a pleasant experience, quality photos, and memories captured for a lifetime.

I would just like to add that about a week after I posted this review, three new 5 star reviews were posted on the same day. Coincidence? I would also like to say that my critical review is not of Mary’s photography. She took beautiful pictures of my family. My review is based on my personal interactions with her.
