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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

First I would like to thank Queen Courtney for allowing me to photograph her this year. I can't believe it's been a year, it's been awesome getting to know you and your family. Congrats to her successor Queen Kayla from Beckemeyer. Enjoy this year and create many memories.
My daughter was one of the Little Misses this year and had fun getting her crown and sash. She can't wait to go to the "carnival" and play games and ride the rides. It's a crazy, but fun week.
Starting to book some graduates, I do photograph on available weekends, but those book quickly so get in while you can.
As soon as I can I'll post some of my daughter's images from the pageant.
Thanks for reading,
Renee

I can't believe that July is here already. In just 4 short days, it'll be my daughter's 6th birthday. Boy how time flies.
I've been starting to get inquiries or senior/graduate portraits. For the month of July, we'll be offering a set of free wallets for every image that you order. I'll have August's new special posted by the end of the month. Call soon and get your time on the books. I do offer a couple of Saturday and Sunday sessions a month and I feel those will fill fast.
Thank you again to Studio B for letting me take the images at their recital, those images just arrived they will be ready for delivery by the end of the week.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

To all of you mothers and fathers out there. How often do you get your image taken with your family - aside from the church directory or snapshots at holidays. If they are professionally done, it's typically after the birth of a child, but not much is done after that. This is why we're offering you an incentive to get your images updated.
From Mother's Day to Father's Day, text the words mother/father, along with your information to 618-623-9024, and receive a free 10" print of our favorite image. A minimum purchase is required for this deal. Now is the time to get this done before "it's too late" or "we should have" starts creeping into your vocabulary.

Throughout the month of May we'll be posting specials for our graduates - grade school, high school, college. If you are graduating these specials apply to you.
Memorial Day weekend will be our double your dollar weekend. Schedule your session, put down a reservation fee, the amount of your reservation will then be doubled. A minumum fee of $50 applies and this special excludes the "My Year" session. For instance, if you place a reservation fee of $100, an additional $100 is applied to your account and can be used for session fee upgrade or product. It's your choice.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by calling or texting 618-623-9024

I've been up to a lot since the last post. Besides working full time, my daughter just started t-ball and has been continuing gymnastics and dance. Only one more month of all three, then it's down to 2. Easter's come and gone, Spring is here, (I wish the weather would make up it's mind), and we've recently found out that we will have to change our address - although we are not moving.
Some graduate marketing is out and about. If you see one, let me know what you think. We also have a facebook page and twitter. Follow us on one or both.
I'll be trying to post at least once a week, but time gets away from me. Check back to see what we're doing.
