Welcome to my blog!

It’s that time of year again!  I’m off to Las Vegas to attend WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International).  While most of the thousands of photographers will be attending classes, I will be working the tradeshow booth for my super fabulous photo lab American Color Imaging!   The Vegas tradeshow is a whirlwind of meeting great new people and networking with some of the best photographers from all over the world.  Not to mention, getting to network with all the other awesome vendors and entrepreneurs at the event.  So even though I don’t get to attend the classes I always seem to meet someone who ends up changing my world for the better!  So “Sin City” here I come!  I’m ready to meet great people, have some fantastic meals, and work for the best lab in the country!  While I’m gone though don’t worrry, the girls will be here keeping the studio running smoothly.  So if you need to place an order or book a session or just want someone to answer your questions, Cassie and Janet will be here to take care of you!  Don’ t forget we’re booking now for Chicks and Bunnies too!  Much Love…

Wow, Easter is swiftly approaching and we are now booking for our annual Chicks and Bunnies Limited Edition Day!  This year Chicks and Bunnies will take place Saturday March 17th and you’ll have plenty of time to get your portraits in by Easter.   This day always books up quickly so call the studio as soon as you can to book your appointment.  There will be lots of Easter sets to choose from and of course we’ll have chicks and bunnies too!  Collections starting at $75.00.  Call 573-803-0565 to book your session.

So much fun here in the studio lately!  Here are a few photos from this past week!  Enjoy!

Wow, I’m still trying to clean up after the amazing Girls Night Out!  Seriously that is the biggest crowd I’ve ever had in here!  If we counted correctly, we had right at 100 people walk through the doors!  I’m so lucky to have so many amazing friends and clients!  I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who came and enjoyed a little shopping, food, drinks and fun!  Congratulations to our Canon Rebel winnner Lenell Hahn and our Kids Club winner Michelle Putty!  Again, I’ll be posting all the photos from the event soon but here are a few from our fun photobooth to give you a taste of what the night was like!   Until next year…

So it’s that time of year when you’ve opened all the presents and you’re ready to make those resolutions and stick to them.  SO, I know a ton of you got an awesome camera for Christmas, now let me teach you how to use it!   The next beginner Photo 101 class will be January 26, 2012 from 5-7 here at the studio.  2117 Broadway.  Cost to sign up is $99 and I promise, it’s well worth it.  You’ll learn everything you need to know to get out there and start taking better photos of your kids, your pets and your family vacations.  There’s also one on one time offered at the class so be sure to come with questions!  Sign up soon to save your space as seating is limited!  573-803-0565

Oh and can you believe it, I’ve already begun putting easter hats on my teeny newborns.  Just thought this one by Tri-Bec Creations was SUPER cute! 

Happy December everyone!  Here are a few photos of Santa from our Memories with Santa Day.  Santa Wayne rocks by the way!   I bet you didn’t know Santa drives a Dodge! 

I also wanted to let everyone know that holiday deadlines are here!  Yes, that means if you haven’t ordered your photos for Christmas presents or just simply for you to have before the holiday then you MUST order by Friday December 2nd, 2011!  Orders made after this date will be charged a $25.00 rush fee for holiday delivery.  Happy December everyone!  And if anyone wants to do all my shopping and put up my Christmas tree just let me know!
