It's here...

The first day of school, and like many moms today, I had the camera in hand and took photos of my kids with their class.  I'm hoping to document each first day of school and give the kids a book with each grade's first day.  I started doing this when my daughter was in Pre-K and am also continuing the tradition with my son.  It's been interesting the see the class grow, not only in size but also by personality. 

Seniors - call soon to schedule your fall appointment.  Evening and weekend sessions are extremely limited.

Busy weekend...

School starts this week, we are all ready to go.  I can't believe that my oldest is in 2nd grade and will be receiving her first communion this year.  We also had our parish picnic Sat. night and I got to see some family and friends that I hadn't seen in a while and catch up a little.  I left early to get ready for Olivia's preview of her indoor session.  In Sept. we will be heading outdoors.  You can view her session here - http://rms-studios.com/#/olivia/. 

With school and fall fast approaching, schedule your session soon.  We will be offering a couple of new products and will be debuting them in the month of September.

Let me know what you think of the slideshow and the website in the comments and Like us on facebook - www.facebook.com/rmsstudios.

Can't believe school's about to start...

in just a matter of 2 weeks.  I have 1 getting ready to enter the 2nd grade and the other is starting Pre-K.  I can't believe the time that has gone by with my two, that I can only imagine what it's like for those parents who's children are entering their final year of high school.

Graduates - 8th grade, high school, or college - call, text, or email about an exclusive offer for readers of our blog this month.  Tell us that you saw it on the blog and mention DYD.

Have a safe and cool finish to your summer vacation.

It's Fair week!

Time for the funnel cakes and lemon shake-ups at the Clinton County Fair.  I've had the honor of documenting queen Kayla's year, from the time she was crowned last year to last night when she crowned queen Brittany.  Now I just have to finish up her memory box and get her slideshow put together.  I'll post the slideshow when I can.  Also, congrats go out to fellow St. Rose girl Jaclyn who received first runner up.  I can't wait for the tractor pull on Wed. night.  Over the past 3 years, that has become one of my favorite events.  If you see me out and about, say hi and let me know you read the blog.  I'll have a treat for you.

Again congrats to this year's Clinton County Fair Queen - Brittany, and a special thank you to queen Kayla, it was a great honor not only getting to document your year, but to get to know your family.  Don't be a stranger and good luck in all of your future endeavors.

Busy weekend going on. Working at the St. Rose Mid Summer Classic tonight, then photographing a 6 mo session, and bridal shower tomorrow. Need to finish up the website galleries over the weekend also. Look for a end of summer promotion next month right before school starts. Can't believe its that time of year already.

Happy Independence Day

Upcoming session sale...

In honor of the upcoming Indepenence Day holiday we will be having a session sale.  Until July 5th choose and prepay for your session.  That money then gets applied to your images.  It's like getting your session for free.  All you have to do is call 618-623-9024 to book your session.  These sessions need to be taken by Labor Day.

Matt & Sarah

Here are some images from Matt & Sarah's engagement session a couple of weeks ago.  I hope they enjoyed themselves and had a good time.  Knowing Sarah personally I knew we had to incorporate their love of hunting into the session along with Roxy and Matt's new puppy Maddie.  I also know that Matt has a tendancy to get nervous, but I think he had fun and was "thinking differently about me" by the end of the session.

I look forward to capturing images of their day in October.

Thanks Matt and Sarah.

LONG OVERDUE....

It's been a crazy few months.  Between Christmas, the "full time job" and extra responsiblity added to said job, home, and photography many things got pushed to the side.  I hope to continue to update this as much as possible in the coming year. 

I now have a website up and running.  I've been working on the website forever and now it's official.  Go check it out at http://rms-studios.com and let me know what you think.  I do have to add images, but there are a couple of slideshows you can view.  My concern is the ease of the navigation.

Also, fan us on facebook for updates on the studio and special fan privilages.  www.facebook.com/rmsstudios.

Exciting weekend coming up...

On Saturday I will have the honor of photographing Kayley and Matt's wedding.  Kayley's mom is my daughter's physical education teacher, so the pressure will be on.  It looks like it's going to be a great weekend weather wise for them.  We have a few ideas up our sleeves for the day and can't wait to try them out.  Below is a slideshow from their engagement session we did a couple of months ago. 

Congrats Kayley and Matt.  See you on Sat.

 

 

Another graduate

Here's the slideshow for Tommy Z. from Central.  We had a lot of fun capturing these for him, although I believe my assistant that day had more fun.  She was a big help in getting some of these expressions.

Enjoy,

Renee

Happy Halloween

Tonight I have the honor of photographing little goblins and witches at our local school's halloween party.  I look forward to doing this every year as I get to see the kids grow up and get a chance to have them act out their character.  I always get a few really memorable images, but I believe my biggest hit year after year is my smoking couldron that the witches get to "cast a spell" over.  Can't wait to see who shows up this year. 

Have a safe and happy Halloween.

It been a crazy couple of months...

Crazy as in busy.  My cousin recently got married and I had the honor of participating in her wedding along with my son and daughter.  Inbetween that I had a few photographic opportunities that will be posted soon and learning opportunities. 

I just returned from Chicago where our State convention was held.  I got to learn a little from everyone that attended, as well as those putting on seminars.  I can't wait for January where I'll be attending the national convention that is going to be held in Nashville, TN. 

Here is one of the graduates that I photographed recently.  Her name is Morgan and she'll be graduating next year from MD.  Congrats Morgan and THANK YOU for allowing me the opportunity to create images for you.

 

 

Can't believe it's been a month!

I knew I had to update the blog soon, but I hadn't realized that the last post was a month ago.  Craziness has set in this time of year.  School has started, my cousin's wedding is in a little over a month away, my full time job has started to pick up, and I've been photographing graduates also. I'll soon be posting some of my favorite images from some resent sessions.  I have some weekends available in October for sessions, but don't wait to call in to schedule these dates.

Check back and see what's coming up for the fall/winter months.

What a week...

The fair is now over, and I'll be following Kayla to other area pageants and parades over the next year.  Now it's time to get back to the grindstone and to portraits.  I also assisted Ed Faller of Faller Photography in Glen Carbon Saturday with a wedding.  Today is the Madison County Fair Queen pageant.  I can't believe that it's been 16 years since I had participated in there. 

Graduates - now is the time to get those fall appointments on the books. If you choose to get photographed in August, you receive a set of 411 cards.  We have 3 different sessions to choose from.  Call or text to set up an appointment for a consultation today! 

We still have a few dance recital images to deliver, so be on the look out as I'll be trying to get to those people this week.
