Books

Many people have ordered books but some just do not know what they are. I wanted to give you a view of one I recently did. Here are some shots. This is a book of a family session I did this past fall. It is the more expensive book and this one turned out just beautiful. Please let me know if you have any questions about either of the book choices.Front view of the book sitting on an easle.Side view, this is a 40 page book and about 1/2 inch thick.

Top view of the book. As you can see the pages are not super thick but are sturdy.

Here are some looks at the book opened on an easle in my living room. Pardon my lazy cat in the view.

Mounted prints.

So many people ask me, what are mounted prints, are they framed. So, I decided to show you a few of mine. Here is one of my son that is 11x14 with glossy finish on the front. They can be hung on the wall or set on a table on an easle and can be gotten in any size. While they are more expensive they are great. There is a coating on the actual photo for protection and you can hang them without framing! Very cool and modern look. Here are some different angles for you.

And finally, here is a 20x24 of my boys hanging in my living room. I really hope this gives you a better idea.

More engagement shots!

This couple was great! Their wedding is this summer and they wanted engagement shots for save the date cards. We went to the Sandy Creek Bridge in Hillsboro, MO. It is just beautiful there and I love going there. We really lucked out for a warm day in January too. We decided this must be a good sing along with the fact that we found a mound of dirt shaped like a heart! Take a look.

PRODUCT SHOTS

I have had the chance to work for the second time with two companies and I would like to share their work. First is the ladies of Miabella Jewelry, Kim and Mary. I shot thier jewelry line last year which by the way has since been showcased in St. Louis Bride and Groom. They have added something new to their line. Shoes that are so cute. They have named them Twinkle toes. They are great for parties, weddings, or just whatever, sized little girl to adult. Are they fun or what?

Next is The creativeness of Kim at Kid's Again resale shop in Florissant. She makes these adorable flower hats that I also have as props. They come in a wide variety of colors and style to match close holidays. They can also double as a girls purse. Adorable huh!

If you are interested in either of these products please contact me and I will get you thier info!

Baby G

Here is the third rendition of Cute Baby G. I got to shoot him in the womb, newborn and now 3 months. He is a part of my watch me grow package and I can't wait to watch him get bigger and bigger. He is such a well tempered baby and cute too. His big brother likes him quite a bit too. Check out the photo of them side by side, do they look alike or what? Enjoy mom and dad!

I have to say too, check out his christening outfit. Made by grandma and the bowtie and vest are from mom's wedding dress. Fabulous!!

Oh, on another note, email is back up!!

Important News

I have some news-

1. Most importantly, I am switching my home telephone and DSL service over. The addresses will remain the same but I will not be able to access email for a few days. Starting tomorrow until Wednesday or Thursday I will not be able to access email at all. If you need me please call me. They tell me nothing will be interuppted and that if email comes I will be able to see it when it is back up but it will have to wait until then. Again, the addresses will remain the same.

2. Effective immediatly you will be able to reach me by two phone numbers but I will eventually phase out one. I now have an office phone, the number is 636.465.1074. You will still be able to reach me at the cell 314.608.2137 though. Call the cell if it is emergent as I will not be available to the office phone at all on Monday's or Friday's.

3. Starting in February I will have some pricing changes. I have not ironed out the details but gas is killing me so I need to raise the sitting fees a bit. It will not be a lot. This will not affect those of you in a sitting package. Good news though, I am also working on adding some new products to put your photos on!

That is all for now. Again, Please feel free to call me at anytime! Don't forget too to check the blog for updates, I try to update often. Leave comments too!!

Thanks,
Terri

Check out Ms. Reese!

My gosh what a sweetie! She is a part of my 1st year plan and we started with maternity and then newborn. She was a tough newborn but we got some great shots and she has gotten better every session. Today she just smiled and smiled the whole time until the end even through multiple changes. Her mom and dad are very fun. Enjoy the preview. Check out those baby blues.

Karen & David

Okay, so I know this bride well. She is the daughter of our long time babysitter and the baby sister of one of my great friends ( the hairdresser in the first photo). She and her twin sister were married within 4 weeks of eachother. Crazy huh, but they lived through it and only one more of 6 children to get married and hers is next year! Anyhow, she was a beautiful bride and it was a great wedding. This family is huge and very close. It was the funnest reception I have been to in a while, everyone was dancing! Congrats you two!
