Senior Photo Shoot

This young man makes photography easy with his great looks and easy-going personality!  It was a pleasure working with him and his dad.  Wish you the best at your new school, Jared!

Photo Vacation

Several weeks ago, I got a call from my Aunt Bonnie, who is also a photographer.  She wanted to come spend a week with me.  She was excited, I was excited.  We spent most of the time photographing each other and my mom, visiting sites around town, editing photos, learning how to use her studio lighting kit.  It was awesome to share my love of photography with someone who is as excited as I am! 

 

Our first outing took us to the Botanical Gardens where I helped her understand natural lighting situations and how to meter correctly.  We got some fun photos.

 

We spent the afternoon the next day out at the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge where we played with exposure bracketing and more portrait taking.  We had a blast, laughed a lot!  Another photographer thought I was giving a little seminar.  I'm sure it kind of sounded like that!

 

 

 

Bonnie may have taken this next one...

 

The last on-location photography we did was down in the Soulard district.  Even my mom was getting in on the fun with camera in hand.

 

 

Towards the end of the week, we finally had to call the company that made the transmitter and receiver for the studio strobe lights cause we could not figure out why in the world we couldn't get them to work.  Turned out to be a malfunction in the parts.  So once we got that worked out, we were finally able to do some in studio portraits.

 

 

 

First Senior Portraits

I had the privilege of photographing my first Senior portraits for the year beginning with my beautiful daughter.  She is such a joy in my life...I really don't know what I'd do without her.  She is, I'm sure, my biggest fan and I love her for that.

Photo Shoot

Thanks, Beth and Steve, for letting me do this shoot for you.  You have a beautiful family and I am so thankful for you all.  We loved having you here to visit and hope you can come again soon. 

 

Homecoming Photo Shoot

Homecoming was the perfect opportunity to sneak in another photo shoot.  Here are two beautiful young women!

Photo Shoot

What a wonderful evening it was for a photo shoot.  I sure hope I was able to capture the spirit of this family.  They are good friends and neighbors with two very special twin boys.  We had a good time walking through the Arch Mall and enjoyed a great dinner at Mango's Peruvian Restaurant downtown when we finished photos.
