Apologies
























Special thanks to Sarah & Mike just for choosing me as their photographer, to Jason for assisting me and proving to be VERY helpful, and to my bride Lauri for allowing me to be what I gotta be.

Shortly after moving in it became clear that there was a mold problem. When asked to resolve this, the building’s owner was unwilling to take necessary steps to make the studio mold-free. Consequently some damage had occurred to our furnishings and equipment and we had to move out near the end of last August (by the way, a HUGE thanks to all who helped).

As you can see, the Saint Charles studio was beautiful and moving out has been a challenge. Leslie (my assistant) and I currently work from my home and will likely continue in this way until issues with the previous landlord are resolved. That being said, we still offer all of our services and are even providing free shipping on all albums and frames.
I hope you continue to patronize our humble boutique, to tell your friends about your experiences with us, and to trust that a company founded in 1997 has not gotten this far by running away from “challenges”.



















Well now I must go. I'm taking a break for the rest of the evening to watch the remainder of the Cardinals game. Go Cards!

What's up? I'm taking a minute to show off the family session we did last Saturday. It was our 4th Portraits In The Park. Even though this was my only appointment that didn't reschedule that day, the day was still a success.
Hey Everybody!As always we are happy to meet with new people to discuss their Big Day needs. If you can't bring your fiance', feel free to bring a maid of honor, mother or mail carrier.
That's it for now. Tons of work awaits. Remember to be patient with the grooms, in-laws, and especially the photographers!
Keep Smiling,
Joseph



Ok. I know I was just blogging about Scott's engagement session at Forest Park, but now it's my turn. Today we shot 3 engagement sessions there and each one was awesome! The most difficult part of the whole day has been just now when I tried to choose an image to represent each session and couple (on Mark & Kim I cheated and used 2). Speaking of Mark & Kim, they have a WEBSITE dedicated, for the most part, to their upcoming wedding. I think it's very creative. Not only has it helped keep me up to date on their progress as their date approaches, but it's helpful for their friends and family as well. If you're a bride, or know a bride, interested in having a wedding website of your own I highly recommend it. Kim can create a wedding website for you, too. Check out Mark & Kim's website HERE or go to www.markandkim2006.com.
I really have a lot I want to say about these sessions but I'm fighting to stay awake. It was a long, but gratifying day. I hope you love the pictures, guys!

Hi Everyone!
his session for some ideas. As a reward for all his efforts, I sent Scott to a River City Rascals game. Here he is with his son, Shane.
Next Saturday, May 6th, we will be hosting our semi-annual Portraits In The Park at St. Peters Recreation Complex. A $10 sitting fee gets you a 30 minute session and includes an 8x10 print of your choice. Afternoon appointments are still available, but won’t last long. Even if you’re using another photographer for your wedding, this is a great opportunity to have a casual, location portrait. And yes, pets are welcome, too!To ask questions or make your appointment, call us at (314) 739-4002. Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Joseph
