St. Louis Portrait Photographer - Laura

Last year (I just like to say that) I met up with Laura for a Lifestyle Session.  I have known Laura since 6th grade (Whiteside represent!) and she is a FABULOUS photographer, so I was super excited about her session.  Laura is gorgeous, a total sweetheart, tons of fun, and down for anything....which makes my "job" easy.  Make sure to check out Laura's website!  Here are a few from Laura's Lifestyle Session.  Enjoy!


I can be funny...I have my moments...


You so gorgeous!


Love love love this light....




Who wants a lime green wall in their house???  This girl right here...




I was kind of spazzing (it's a word) out at this point, love it!







"Do you want me to lay on the ground?"  Well SURE! :)  

Like you don't tresspass....ppppplease....
FYI trespass is spelled trespass...um ya...so it's not a word, which means we didn't tresspass...right? Right!

And because Whiteside is the best side...(did we really used to say that?)
We had to represent....



WOOT! :)

Thanks so much Laura!  You are the bomb diggity! :)

St. Louis Portrait Photographer - Anni

You may remember Amber's lifestyle session, well now it is Anni's turn.  Anni is absolutely gorgeous, has a million dollar smile, and cracks me up.  I call her catwoman....hehe.  We met downtown and had ourselves one awesome shoot.  Graffiti, railroad security, and "helpful" intoxicated homeless people....oh my. :)  Here are a few from Anni's lifestyle session.  Enjoy!






Catwoman.... :)


Then the Railroad Security paid us a little visit (because there were trains up above).  He gave me the finger....no not that finger.  The "come over here you're in trouble finger"...I hate that finger.  But he ended up being a really nice guy and just gave me a gentle verbal warning, told me to be careful, and then told me about a few other "cool" places to shoot in the area.  I appreciated that.  :)

And just an FYI....I never put my clients in danger.  I may be hanging out windows and running through snake pits, but it's always safety first for my clients. But if clients are willing to hang out windows and stand in snake pits....then so be it. ;)

GORGEOUUUUS!



Love that door...And the fact that Anni's shirt said "Green Is The New Black"....very cool.... :)

UH...can't take it....LOVE this one.... :)





And then a final outfit change...very Gwen Stefani/Harajuku girl.... :)



Anni you just make my job SO easy!  You are AH-mazing! 
Have a fabulous day!

St. Louis Modern Portrait Photographer - Amber

This past Sunday I met up with Anni and Amber for one awesome lifestyle session.  Both of these girls are free spirits, drop dead gorgeous, and fun as hell.  So I knew this session was going to be lots of fun.  We had talked about a grungy, edgy kind of feel for this session....and they were game.  They both rocked their shoot and had SO many awesome pics, so I decided to divide them into 2 posts.  First up is Amber.  Amber is from New Jersey and has an edge to her.  She reminds me of a 70's rocker chick straight out of The Runaways...but with a twist.  Here are a few pics of Amber.  Enjoy!


I've shot at this location before, it's one of my favorite spots.  And it's not on a map, even better. 
When we pulled up, Amber and Anni got SO excited.....it made me happy.

Amber in her Stella McCartney shades....love it.


Leather and lace? ♥

Then a quick wardrobe change....and Amber pulled out her red high heels. 
We all know how I feel about red high heels....yup...I was excited. :)

Amber is a total natural....made my job easy...





She's kind of a cross between Britney Murphy and Cindy Crawford.....right?


Ummmm..... HELLO GORGEOUS!!!
 
CLASSIC...

Love that texture....reminded me of bullets?  Ya...I'm strange....

Such a badass....

This building was vacant....as were all of the other buildings in this area.....but this was an old loading dock of some sort.  I was in love with the peeling green paint....  And of course Amber was totally game for climbing up there in her awesome red high heels. :)


I absolutely LOOOOVE this one!  I want to blow this one up on a huge wrapped canvas and hang it in my house.....absolutely gorgeous my dear!

This one too....it reminds me of a Calvin Klein Ad.... :)


One last outfit change....  Amber was trying to decide on what hat to wear.  At first she had a black "Boyz in the hood" like ski hat on.  She asked me what I thought and I was like ehhhhhh....nah..... 
And then she got all excited and yelled
"I"LL WEAR THIS ONE!!!"  and pulled out this Fargo looking ski hat.  I laughed so hard....I think it may be her favorite hat.  Free spirit indeed..... ♥

Now how HOTT is that hat?!?!?!?!  

And how HOTT is Amber in that hat?!?!?!  Great idea Amber.... :)

You go Amber..... :)

Thank you SOOO much for an AH-mazing shoot!  You did an AWESOME job Amber!
I think you should def. get a look book together and go on some casting calls.  I'm just saying....
Future model in the works people. :)

Stay tuned for the GORGEOUS Anni!

Have a fabulous day!
