Top Ten Images from 2011

I had full intentions of posting more then one blog with top images from 2011, but unfortunately at this point, it's not going to happen.  {smile} So, I thought....what can I do to highlight some images, but keep it to ten images.  Let me tell you - that was TOUGH!!!  What I came up with is ten categories from sessions last year and picked an image from each that I LOVED.  How fun, right?  I've labeled them {not that it was necessary, but hey....I wanted to shake it up a bit}  In putting this together, I was reminded again of how BLESSED beyond words I am!!  Enjoy!

Vikki: Class of 2012

One of my favorite locations in the St. Louis area for Senior Sessions is the Historic Downtown St. Charles area. There is such a good variety for the Urban look …I love it!!! ….and when I refer to Urban, I'm referring more to the textures and colors.  So, let me get right to it. Meet Vikki!   She's a senior at St. Dominic High school and has {BIG} passion for fashion! Beautiful girl, right? I'm such a lucky gal to capture fabulous seniors!!   I understood the minute I met her why she loved fashion and in talking with her throughout the session - it's something she plans to embrace in her future as well.... specifically, fashion merchandising. HOW EXCITING! I happen to think she will do well! Vikki…best wishes to you! Maybe one day I'll be following your work or blog on Fashion! {grin} I had a GREAT time getting to hang out and chat with your and your mom!!    

Adam: Class of 2012

Adam is one of those guys who is extremely personable, has a ton of personality and knows what he wants.  I can't think of a senior session that I have laughed as much as I did with Adam.  I even told him at one point that he needed to stop or all his pictures would be blurry from camera shake.  {yes….I  was laughing that hard}   Guys don't have all the accessories/options that girls do, but this location and it's outdoor, earthy feel made it an ideal setting for his session.  {smile}  Adam, thanks for the laughs and being a trooper. I know that guys generally don't care to have their picture taken…but you did great!  Congrats and best of luck in your future endeavors! 

Alex: Class of 2012

I had a great time capturing Alex’s senior pictures. We met in the historic area of St. Charles and jumped right in!  There is so much to work with there as far as getting the urban feel as well as the outdoor, earthy feel and it was a GREAT location for Alex.  She was a natural in front of the camera….she just knew what to do and she shined!  Alex, you were wonderful to work with and in the short time we had together, it was evident that you will go far!  Here is to the next chapter being all that you imagined! 

Hunter: Senior Session

What I love about Senior sessions is that it's capturing them as their arriving upon a new chapter in their lives.  They are leaving the years of teenage bliss and rounding the corner of becoming a young adult.  They have ambitions, dreams, and a drive that is quite captivating.  Hunter was no exception.  After spending the morning with her, it was evident that she is driven and will go far!  She has style, personality and a desire to succeed and was fantabulous to work with!  We had a lot of fun with the outfits and locations as each were unique to themselves and well, quite frankly - I just loved capturing Hunter.  She's beautiful and that shines in these photos.  Hunter….thank you for allowing me to capture this milestone!  Here is to the next chapter!  Chase your dreams and don't look back.  {HUGE SMILE!}

Daneisha: Class of 2011

Capturing Seniors is something that I truly enjoy and Daneisha was no exception!  As soon as I met her I knew it was going to be a great session!  We hit historic St. Charles and found some GREAT spots....and light!  Daneisha…CONGRATULATIONS and best wishes to your bright future!!!  Thanks for spending the afternoon with me.  "Wherever you go, go with all your heart." - Confucius

Now Offering.....Rep Cards!

I am soooo excited to be able to offer Rep Cards now….and the great thing about these is that they can be used for just about ANYTHING!! These are trendy with Seniors right now, families could put them in Christmas cards, they can be used them as calling cards/business cards, put in invitations, used as a wedding favors and/or make excellent marketing pieces. As I said, the options are endless!! Below are 2 sets that I am currently offering. They are 2 x 3.5 in size. I put together some examples for you to see and primarily used seniors; however, if you’d like to see a different version, let me know. I can also design a unique rep card for you as well. Inquire today for a session and pricing!

Leah | Senior Session

Let me start by saying this was a GREAT session! I’ll admit upfront that I was a little concerned, because fifteen minutes into the session, the rain came. You have to love when a challenge is handed to you. {smile} So, we had to move the session indoors….see where my challenge is going? Side note: I didn’t have my light kit. Thank goodness Leah’s sister lives in a loft downtown and has lots of windows!! We all rolled with it and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. As you can see, Leah is beautiful which made my job even easier! {grin} I’m jealous of her gorgeous blue eyes!! I wish I could post all of her pictures, but these are a few of my favorites. Leah…thanks for allowing me to capture these for you and for being flexible with the weather. We’ll get more of those outdoor ones….I’ll be in touch! Here’s to your BRIGHT future!

Patrisia | Senior Session

I was really excited about this session and Patrisia was such a joy to work with. Although she was very soft spoken and timid; she had a great spirit about her! I had all these ideas for this session and couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! The locations seemed to be a perfect fit for her outfit choices and as you can see some were even IDEAL for the vintage feel. YEAH! Loved it all. {grin} Patrisia…thank you soooo much for a GREAT session and for letting me be creative with it. You’re a beautiful girl with a beautiful future. Here's wishing you the best!
