for the days that turn into memories.
capturing timeless, real moments.


Hello, Im Ruthie. Im a Missouri Photographer just an hour out of St. Louis. I believe that the best captured moments are the ones that unfold naturally — the moments when you let your guard down, laugh a little louder, love a little harder, and embrace the beauty of this life. Often referred to as candid moments. I started Ruthie Cordia Photography to capture the beauty in those moments, the ones that leave you breathless, teary-eyed, and feeling alive. My journey began with a camera and a passion for capturing gods beautiful world, and over the years, it’s grown into a calling to document love in all its forms.

about ruthie cordia photography

In 2023 I graduated with my Associates in Arts and Humanities from East Central Community Collage. I have always had a passion for photos. From posing all the time when I was younger to getting my first phone and beginning to document EVERYTHING.

Back in 2022 I bought a used camera and my love for the art grew overnight. In that moment I decided to make it more than just a hobby, to make it a business.I love teaming up with new clients and old friends to capture memories that will last a lifetime.

I shoot very true to color. I love Weddings the most because of the pure love you can see even through a photo. 

A little bit about me outside of the lens. I live and grew up in a small town about an hour out of St. Louis. I am a bookaholic, romance novels are my niche/downfall but I do also love a good James Patterson mystery novel. Other things I enjoy are painting, hiking, anything involving flowers, and digital design. Ive always enjoyed meeting new people and making friends. My dream is to be a traveling photographer. Documenting every new place I visit.
