Last time I photographed Taylor she was far less mobile.  At just over a year old, she has discovered her freedom, and she was definitely on the run during our photo shoot yesterday in Forest Park.  But how can you be mad at someone with such adorable blond curls and big blue eyes?  You can't - you just follow her down the path and get whatever you can!

Each time I run into an old client and tell them I'm moving, I seem to get the same type of response: "But we wanted you to take photos of XYZ!!"  So I've decided to offer one Last Chance Photo Marathon before I leave town at the end of October. 

The marathon will be on Sunday, October 18 at Forest Park.  You can sign up for any type of session you want - family, kids, babies, engagement, trash the dress, newlywed (anything but boudoir for obvious reasons ;) ).  You'll get 30-40 minutes of shooting time, online proofing for one month, and a DVD of your image files to use as you please.  The cost is $200. 

Email me at sixeightythree@gmail.com to reserve a time slot!

Jackie's purple shoes for the wedding were fantastic.  She said she wanted something she would wear again after the wedding.  I personally can't imagine a circumstance in which I would wear bright purple heels (I'm always barefoot or in flip flops!) but they looked completely fabulous with her dress.  And she managed to wear them all night, so they must be comfy.  I'm sure she'll find a great use for them down the road.

After a ceremony at St. Cecilia's, we did some photos in Tower Grove Park and down at the City Garden, and headed to the reception at the Crowne Plaza downtown.  Both St. Ceclia's and the Crowne Plaza were exceptionally dark - good thing I'm not afraid of a high ISO :)  Thanks Kelly Park for shooting with me.  You can see the SLIDESHOW HERE.

This applies to those of you who are still ignoring your wedding album - you know who you are (and there are more than one of you!!) 

Since I am moving from St. Louis to Denver in the last weekend of October, the time line for albums is changing a bit.  If you get your album design completed by the end of September, I will be able to order it before I move and get it out to you before the end of October.  All other orders will have to be ordered after the first week of November.  Believe it or not, that starts the holiday rush at the album companies, which means albums will take a bit longer.  So if you are interested in having your album before the holidays (so all your relatives can ooh and ahh), contact me soon!!

Likewise, if you are thinking of ordering any prints or books as holiday presents you should contact me soon for estimates on delivery times. 

And finally, because every post is better with an image, here is a photo of the arch I took the other day.  Just because :)

I haven't posted album pages before, but this one makes me laugh.  It is a two page spread from Ashley and Adam's wedding last year.  That's Adam going nuts on the dance floor.  It was Ashley's idea to do it like a filmstrip so you could see the many phases of Adam's dance moves.  Click the image to see it larger.
