how does the saying go… rainy days and sundays…  

as i sit here and sort through all the images i am definitely jealous… that taylor and i dont have cool shots like this.  

here is our new ad for march. we worked all day in the studio with the people over at kmov – unbelievable how much effort goes into the post production work to pull this 30 second spot together – we were in the studio for nearly 7 hours putting this all together. thank you so much to everyone who was part of making this happen – tom and sean – great job!! also, you may notice a new logo. we are going through a complete rebranding and this is just an early glimpse of what’s to come. we are working with a very talented group in redefining our brand – more to come on that in the next few days – there will be a very new look! hopefully for the better.  

tomorrow morning we are heading into the studio to produce our first tv commercial!! we are beyond excited as you can imagine. the main goal here will be to stay true to our brand and not come off like some used car commercial if you know what i mean. so stay tuned… once we get the final cut – we will post it online for everyone to see.

who says you can’t have fun in the freezing cold!! well, if you live in st louis… you know the saying… dont like the weather… stick around a few hours… it will change. earlier in the week it was about 60 degrees… but of course, that saturday… it was frigid! i think we were in the low 30s all day. these guys were a blast to work with and we got to do all sorts of “cool” things for pictures. enjoy the pics! there are a lot more to come!

Hey everyone!!!

We are taking this road show up to Chicago. We will be in town the 1st weekend of March – March 6-7-8.

If you are interested in taking some family portraits in the windy city – now is the time to sign up for this. We have already fully booked Saturday the 7th– but still have openings for Sunday the 8th. These are on a first come first serve basis – so please let us know ASAP.

This is a unique opportunity to get creative pictures for your family up in Chicago. We will be downtown and going to several creative locations.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the trip or are interested in locking in your spot.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Sal and Taylor

think it can’t happen to you? read some of these horror stories from the St Louis Business Journal – the nut of it… people paid for their pictures and NEVER received them or the album or it took over a year before they saw their pictures. 

it never ceases to amaze me when we meet with people and you talk to them and try to understand their thought process. i am definitely getting on my soap box here and i apologize in advance – well… only a little. 

there are studios in town claiming to do your wedding for $500 or $800 – WHOA RED ALERT!! Seriously, think about it. NOT possible. there is and will be a catch. If, you met a guy and he offered to sell you a new car for $500 would you buy it? if so, I have a bridge in ny to sell you.

we have done 3 bridal shows in the last 3 weeks and i am pooped!!! we love our brides… but finding the handful of brides we want to work with in the sea of thousands who walk past our booth is a daunting task. 

so, here’s to a great 2009 – may all your wedding plans be smooth and exactly what you had hoped for! {clink}… thats the toast to my favorite drink right now – captain and coke.  

this is probably my least favorite thing to write about – but i am a big fan of learning from the mistakes of others. something to think about… you spend tens of thousands on your big day – from the dress to the photographer to the perfect table setting, etc – you pay attention to the most minute details… why skimp on the make-up?? 

please let us know if you have any questions around this – we will help guide you in the right direction to ensure your images represent the real you and not the washed out version!
