Hangin' out with "old" friends

If you've spent any time on my website, you might have seen Riley before. She was my first "Year in a life" client. I haven't seen her in about 8 months, so it was really a great joy to get to play with the little Riley-bird today. She's your typical 2 year old with her curiosity, mischievousness and an excellent command of the word "NO!" She's so cute and fun to work with. And even more so, she thinks I'm pretty funny, too!

Here's a few of my favorites. Complete gallery to come soon. Enjoy!

Tiny Fingers and Tiny Toes & The Art of Referrals

Meet Evan!



Evan's Slide Show

Evan is a very special little client. Besides having the cutest little toes and fingers that I get to document for the next year as part of our "Year in Review" collection, he is also is the son of a corporate client, who was referred to us by the Mother of the Bride of a really great wedding couple from last April.

Referrals are very important to our business. (Thank you to all that have referred us to family and friends.) Peter and I have a unique outlook on how we photograph and unique personalities to match.* Referrals by past clients are wonderful because they allow us to meet people with similar personalities and expectation of photography. Good wedding and portrait photography is based on relationships. Having a good working relationship with your photographer is key to getting that photo that is just a little more intimate, just a little more expressive, just a little more perfect.


Evan and I also have something in common. We have the same dentists (his parents). Knowing the power of a referral, I'm very selective on how I give them. However, Drs. Zieba are excellent dentists. It's taken me a few years to find the right fit for a dentist and I would highly recommend them. www.ziebafamilydentistry.com





*(If you haven't met us - we're outgoing, enthusiastic, kind, passionate, hard working people with a good measure of goofiness.)

Cool new Slide Show and 8/11/07 wedding

Time to finally update my blog with a really cool feature for showing my favorite photos from my weddings.

Cheryl and Jason - August 11, 2007

It was a typical hot, bright and sunny August day in St. Louis. And despite the mercury rising to 101 degrees, we got some amazing photos in the park. Thank you Cheryl and Jason for making it so easy to get great photos. I’m very proud of the photographs we made and we hope that they’re something you’ll cherish.

We’ll update this soon with a link to all the photos online. Click on the link below to see the slideshow.

Cheers!

Stephanie & Peter
