this baby's a big deal | newborn photography

Tough call here, partner... Is this the cutest darn kid you've ever done seen? You bet your britches, he is!

the haarbrinks, in living color

What great color choices by the Haarbrink crew for their early fall photos. The blues, purples, reds and whites worked perfectly with the scene at Faust Park in Chesterfield.

Colby Rasmus, The Arch and lots of color

It's been an interesting week in St. Louis, with the Cardinals suffering down the stretch and the media stirring up dirt between second-year centerfielder Colby Rasmus and club management... (Good ol' sports reporters.) That being said, just wanted to share, visually, what we've been working on recently. Love the blue sky at the Arch in Downtown St. Louis (but wish it wasn't so busy that morning on the steps!!!) and the vibrant red at Busch Stadium (shot on the field, thanks to Creve Coeur Camera Day at the Ballpark).

photos a la carte

With all that's been going on around here, it's been next to impossible to find a moment to post. But we're back in the game with 16 new photos taken over the last two weeks (methinks this ties a record...).

For the record, I don't like cropping to a square, but it's by far the easiest way to lay out the blog (not a good excuse, I know)... Besides, why give away the whole shot, right? However, if anyone out there knows how to code our blog so thumbnails show up as square but clicking on them shows the entire shot, PLEASE share!

Some of these photos were taken with our new fluorescent studio lighting, while some were shot without any artificial light at all. Can you tell which ones?
