St. Louis Senior Portraits | Kristen Model for Lafayette High School

Fridays are always fun – revisiting our senior model sessions. Getting to share more from their shoot with you all. They like it too, because they get more Facebook profile images to use. Win-Win! This week, we’re spotlighting our Lafayette High School model, Kristen. With some experience in front of the camera, she was a breeze to photograph! And, our locations were rockin’! I really do love shooting in the studio, but I am more so smitten with the spot we have found in downtown St. Louis – not the norm of course!

Get to know Kristen!

My nickname is: Kristie, KP, Perry…no one ever calls me Kristen, I swear!

I graduate in 2011 and it can’t come soon enough!

The last thing I ate was a bowl of grapes and strawberries…almost always on a health binge.

My favorite color is teal.

My dream job is something in humanitarianism – no doubt in my mind, anymore. I want to make a true difference in the world. It takes one person to start a revolution.

Music is the love of my life – I really can’t pick a favorite.

I like Cosmo magazine.

My Seniors Kick Your Senior’s Butts!

Okay, I don’t condone fighting. I just thought it was funny as a title. I mean, I do think they are pretty darned awesome. And, they are some of the coolest kids around town. Just let me brag, okay?

A few weeks ago, four of my senior models came into the studio to do some video work for me (which you can see here on our website). Afterward, I had them do some silly faces for me and shot a few fun images for them. I believe in taking care of these kids. They are your faces for a full year. They show off your work. And, if you do something a little extra with them they tend to be more and more excited about your studio. Plus, there’s a whole lot of fun and laughter going on when we’re together. Extra pictures and wallets are just a perk!

Callie, Sam, Brooke and Lexie were my video stars. And, yah, I still think my senior clients kick your senior’s butts!;)

St. Louis Senior Portraits | Meet Emily

For our Friday Feature, I bring to you, one of our model reps, Emily! Emily did a split session with us and shared part of it with her best friend, another one of our models, Kayla. What I love most about this session is that it utilizes all the surrounding areas of our studio. We have so much to use and it really lends itself to some great portraits. When you choose The Split session which is just $200, you get two hours with us! Five outfits in the studio and three outside our studio (10 miles). Seriously, a great deal for a great variety of portraits!

Hi, I’m Emily!

My nickname is Emmy.

I attend Fort Zumwalt South High School and graduate in May! I can’t wait!

St. Louis Senior Portaits | Lexie – Fort Zumwalt East

Last week, I showed you the video of the behind-the-scenes session for Lexie. Today, I wanted to blog a few of my favorite images from the day. And, get these up on Facebook for Lexie to use as her profile photo.

Lexie attends Fort Zumwalt East and is one of our model reps for that school. She’s so fun and I find myself laughing so much when we’re with her! She was a trooper the morning of her session. Raining. Yes, raining! BUT, I love shooting in this type of weather because it’s not as hot and the clouds are my softbox. I can shoot pretty much anywhere because the sun isn’t so bright when we’re doing natural light shots. And, we had to use one of my new chairs.

Take a look at some of my favorites, and if you missed her video last week, go here to see it again.

St. Louis Senior Portraits | Behind the Scenes with Lexie (Video)

I got up at 5:45 a.m. – I’ve decided the only way to really survive this awfully hot summer is to shoot early mornings. Avoid the heat…and avoid the crowds out there. So, I got up, took care of the dogs, and my mom and I made our way out to St. Charles for a 7:30 a.m. shoot. Brilliant! No one to be around. Except, it started to rain. I sat in the car waiting because I got there about 20 minutes early.

PLEASE LET IT STOP! For once, I didn’t have umbrellas and rain boots in the back of the Jeep. I usually always have umbrellas. I am all for shooting in the drizzly rain. Just not storms.

Then, Lexie arrived and we decided to get in one car and drive up Main Street and wait the rain in certain spots. WE DID IT! We laughed, and had a lot of fun, despite the challenges of working really fast – and a few rain drops pelting the forehead.

Lexie is a model for our studio and is a 2011 senior at Fort Zumwalt East. She’s so adorable and her laugh is contagious. Since we shot this yesterday, I only have a few images to really post. However, the best part is the new Behind the Scenes Video we put together. I want our seniors to see how much fun it is to shoot with us – even in the rain!

If you’re in a feed reader, mobile or email – be sure to come to our blog and watch the REAL video! Or, visit it on VIMEO in HD.
