true friendships are timeless.

Good friendships stand the test of time. This month has been a good one for us both, with each of us finding some much-needed opportunities to spend good, quality time with great friends and family.
With the below set of images shot in the Delmar Loop, we wanted to give off a vintage feel to convey the timeless friendship of Emily and Paige. Thanks, Instagram, for the help. (Only downside? No way to get around the square crop!)

U. City. Great for concerts. And senior photos.

Saturday, July 2. Hottest day of the year. And where were we? In the Delmar Loop.
Paige, a Parkway West senior-to-be, picked the locale (not the weather!) for her passion for music and the eclectic nature of University City. We're big fans of the Loop, although it's been a long time since we have gone there to make photos... Yeah, most of our time there is spent at Fitz's (mmm... root beer...), Blueberry Hill, and The Pageant (one of the best places in the world to see a concert*). We love a good concert, but it was definitely nice to get out and do something different there this time!


Did you know? The Delmar Loop is one of America's 10 Great Streets, according to the American Planning Association (2007). We'd have to agree.
*According to Pollstar 2010.

meet me ... in forest park

Becca's out of town -- Florida this time -- so it's my turn to post... It's been a busy few weeks with all our travels and what not; nevertheless, we squeezed this couple-hour shoot in of Rachel early this week at Forest Park and in the Delmar Loop. The shoot was a lot of fun, mosquitoes and all, and we definitely look forward to photographing Rachel again sometime down the road.


The majority of the photos here were shot with a fast 1.4 lens using a variety of lighting, while others were taken using the 17-70 Sigma. Look for these and more in the coming days at our Photoworkshop site.
