This is Samantha, and the daughter of one of my best friend's! I have known her since she was a little kid!! It's been awesome seeing her grow up over the years ! I love that she chose me to do her senior pictures! I am just glad we were finally able to get them done! Man we were cutting it close on time! Samantha is one of the smartest, prettiest girls I know. She is also going to Rolla next year on a cheerleading scholarship. We are all very proud of her! Here are some of my favorites from that day!
So after the Botanical Gardens I met up with Christin and Dennis...Now I must say...typically MOST guys do not enjoy engagement sessions...they just "don't get it". BUT I have never come across anyone who hates getting their picture taken more than Dennis (except for maybe me) and man...I tried like heck to get hime to loosen up...which he did...a little...but I am stupid because even though his name is Dennis...I kept calling him Bob....I couldn't figure out why until Christin pointed out that I did Kristen and Bob (whom she knows...small world) last weekend...so that made me feel a lot better...but then for no reason later I called him Tom..not just once...but like 4 times...UGH!!! I was soooooooo embarrased. I think it's because I had a million things going on and I am meeting with Jessica and Tom Tuesday....who knows...All I know is for how much Bob...I mean Dennis...hates getting his picture taken...I think he looks pretty darn cute in these...(you do too Christin!) :) Thanks for letting me take your pics and best of luck with your wedding in the fall!
I need to explain this picture...ok so we left the City Museum because it was hot and Dennis was a little leary of the million kids that were zooming around so we took off to Christin's downtown office building to grab a drink and cool off..This next picture is Christin trying really hard to get Dennis to relax..She was just being fuuny (I think the beer helped) and I just grabbed this shot of her being silly! This is Dennis looking at Christin like..."let's just get this freakin' over with already" :)
Welp...I had another trip to the Botanical Gardens...but this time it was with Tricia and Paul! We soooo lucked out with the weather. I was really worried about all the rain and rescheduling was going to be a nightmare! But everything worked out just fine! Since I go to the Botanical Gardens so much, I find that it's extremely challenging to make the pictures look unique to each couple. I really tried to do some different things this weekend so noone thinks they are getting carbon copies of what everyone else gets!! Thanks guys! I had a lot of fun!
Sunday started off at the Botanical Gardens and Tower Grove with Danielle and Lennel.
and here is Kristen and Bob on Main Street in Saint Charles! I have no idea what happened...but my last post somehow got deleted! So here we go again...to sum up the last post...I got to photogrpah two very great couples last weekend. Danielle and Lennel and then later in the afternoon, Kristen and Bob. Here are some of my favorites! Sorry about that girls!
Contact me for an AMAZING special I am offering in those months!! Serious savings to the first ones who book in either of those months.

Boudoir Information
*** BPIC sessions are closed for 2008***** These shoots are a lot of fun! I think most people find it nerve wracking at first but then feel at ease in no time and just start having fun! I don't know one person who has regretted doing it and the guys I have talked to have thought it was the best thing their wife or fiance has ever done for them! The shoots can be done at my house (pics on my blog http://www.sjmacky.blogspot.com/) or at a hotel of your choice. If you choose the hotel you would pay for the room. Some hotels give discounted rates if you only want to rent for part of the day instead of a whole night. The cost of the session when it's done at my house is only $250 and that includes a high res DVD with all of your images (usually around 75-125..sometimes more) and I "touch-up" (meaning airbrushing trouble spots and stuff) about 20 of your favorites. I also put them in a passcode protected gallery so you have a little online slideshow.
one of the only pics you'll ever see of me (there's a reason I stay BEHIND the camera) One of these days I'll get a cool picture...until then this will have to do!
