Lajuanna and I both enjoyed Bailey so much. She's so fun to be around and has such a wonderful spirit about her. She loves the country, so we had a wonderful afternoon playing in the sunshine. I was amazed by her super cool car. Her Mom designed and made the graphics. Very nice and it's always fun to see her running around town (she's easy to spot.) :)

Homecoming...

2011-10-16T03:36:00.001-05:00

Oh my goodness. We have been crazy busy lately. Before heading off to Chesterfield, MO today, I helped Lajuanna photograph Dave and a bunch of his friends for OTHS homecoming. WAY more later, but here's a little snapshot to get started.

Yesterday, we covered the annual Downtown Ball event in St Louis. Today, a VERY fun Studio B! for a special wedding reception in Chesterfield. We also welcomed a new Studio B! team member.

All coming up soon.

Also a couple of kids we know very well were crowned OTHS Homecoming King and Queen today (sat!)

Photography by Tom

2011-10-12T18:45:00.001-05:00

Okay, when a groomsman, named Tom, asked if I had a spare camera for the entrance, I of course, said "certainly." He said to just keep the lens cap on. I said "oh no, buddy, if you take my camera, I expect some images!" This is Tom's gallery. Rock on Tom!

This is Tom (bottom left). If you can't figure out which is Tom, make an appointment with an optometrist. :)

pre preview for Matt and Megan

2011-10-05T23:33:00.001-05:00

Forgive me for this rushed presentation, but I had to get something up for Megan to see! This is a small taste of a preview. I'm out the door in about 5 hours for a Florida Studio B!, but we had a such a great time with Megan and Matt.

Proof that I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like these two....I rode this thing.

If you've never had the pleasure of riding the ferris wheel on top of the City Museum in St Louis, it has two speeds: STOPPED and HAULING #*%!.

Take note of the image above. That's Tom. I had just met Tom. I gave Tom a camera to use for a spell. We'll be posting a "Tom Gallery" soon. Awesome.

More to come.
Cheers,

Megan and Chad had Browers Studio B! for their wedding reception in Collinsville, IL. I wasn't personally there, but heard it was an absolute crazy fun time!

awesome family portrait

THANK YOU Megan and Chad for having us for your party!!

Here are a few random fun images from Julia and Brian's Browers Studio B! last Saturday at the Chase Park Plaza in St Louis. Fun was had by all as Galaxy kept the dance floor jumping!

My Google world just blew up....

2011-09-06T00:58:00.001-05:00

UPDATE: Found this excellent HOW-TO article on how to back up everything Google. Good stuff. I can go to sleep now. :) http://www.howtogeek.com/68863/how-to-downloadbackup-your-gmail-google-calendar-and-docs-data/

I just received the message below while trying to access my Gmail account. If you're like me, and you've come to depend on Google services almost entireley, without reservation...this should scare the #&@! out of you. To my knowledge, none of the conditions listed apply. Wow. I have to think about the cloud concept some more. I was totally on board with the idea, but I'm going to rethink the entire process. 100% reliance on ANYONE's cloud has some SCARY implications.

2011-08-29T22:03:00.000-05:00

Wanted to use a different vantage point for goal shots. Unfortunately, O'Fallon got some new soccer nets with a very tight weave, but they still turned out pretty good. These are two separate scores.

We had a blast being a part of Amanda and Justin's wedding day! We printed 2x6" strips with 3 images per strip and their logo. In order to let folks know to have fun in Studio B!, we printed an insert for the 2x6" bookmark (with color coordinated ribbon) and placed at each place setting. I'll post a photo of the bookmark soon. Of course, this all integrated nicely with our original Studio B! format. Thank you Amanda and Justin for letting us have fun with you!

The entire gallery is HERE.

If you EVER happen to be passing Stroud OK, do stop in for some actual home-made pie at the Ranch House Restaurant. Tell them Bill Browers' son sent you.

God bless my mom who has put up with my nonsense for 40 something years.... :)
