Lest' We Forget

Well, I've returned once again to update you on one of my latest shoots.  Every once in a while we get an opportunity to participate in a family's desire to record the present as they move to a new chapter in their life.

Allow me introduce you to the Samson-Vazquez family.  This family has lived in this home for over 10 years but never had an opportunity to professionally record their lives while living here.  Since they have now sold the home, they wanted to be sure they could have memories of themselves while in this lovely residence.













This home was very beautiful. However, while shooting the session, I found that their care and love for each other put on display, even more so, how beautiful their family is. While shooting the session, it was great seeing how Joe, Anne, and Bella interacted with each other with such attention and care.






















Although Anne looked and carried herself as a professional model, to my surprise, little Bella was modeling and posing for me as if she had been doing this since she was born.   She was gentle and a little princess ready to take any position and display her smile, full of joy mind you, and "I've got this" attitude for the world to see.

We had such a great time on this session. Joe and Anne were able to reminisce about the great times they had and share how they truly cherish all the friends that had the chance to enjoy this house with them and make it a "home."

Lest' I too forget, I want to thank this family for allowing me to have the opportunity to record their memories as they take one last look before moving on to another chapter in their lives.

The Unofficial Beginning of Fall is Upon Us

Hello all!  I just wanted to update you on one of the latest photo sessions I had the pleasure of taking.  This is the Fox family.  They were going to have all the kids and grandkids in for the Labor Day weekend and wanted to capture the memory making moment.  Since we scheduled the shoot about one month out, we could only hope that the weather wouldn't be too hot or a rainout.  Thankfully, we had a beautiful day for the shoot.  

The kids (young and old) had a great time in front of the camera.  The thing I liked the most about the shoot is that you could see how much they all miss and love each other.  Mrs. Fox's three kids really loved the experience and it was exciting having them interact and display those emotions within the lenses frame.

The Fox grandchildren had a fun time as well.  At first, I could see their apprehension since this is the fist time that they had met me; however, as we had a chance to interact for a while they became more comfortable and started to have a great time.  What was surprising to me was that they had such a good time that they didn't want the session to end.  

 I hope your beginning of this 2013 fall season will start out as fun and exciting as the Fox's did.  Stay tuned for more updates as new sessions have been booked and I will be posting them soon as well.

Fall is Rapidly Approaching. Don't Let it Pass You By

Great Session at Soulard in St. Louis

What a wonderful summer we had this year in the St. Louis area.  The temperature wasn't unbearable and in spite of periodic rain, we still were able to continue with summer picnic plans and varied outings.  This summer also allowed our business to grow with clients as well as provide them with new memories that will last forever.  Warm summer days and unexpected cooler evenings provided for outstanding environments for our models and their families.




Individual Session at Towergrove Park in St. Louis

Since we had such a nice summer, we hope for and anticipate a pleasant and cooler fall as well.  This will cause the flowers and trees to change their color sooner than normal.  The parks once brilliant with spring and summer flowers will give way to trees with just as brilliant colors creating outstanding backdrops for fall family and individual portraits. 

As fall quickly approaches, you don't want to miss your opportunity to capture those memory making moments you have been waiting for.  Whether it is for family, engagement, individual, or other genre of portraits, be sure to book soon or you may loose out on the opportunity to have professional portraits of key moments in your life or that of your families.

Memory Making Studios is a division of C. Wayne Mahr Photography in the St. Louis Metroeast region.
