After a late night at the opening reception for an art show I’m in, I’m taking it easy today and sharing just some pictures of lovely Kimmswick, MO that I took when The Hubs and spent a relaxed Saturday morning just walking around the town a few weeks back. I just loved these vintage street lights! […]

One more of my favorite portraits I took at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire. No fancy edits today. Just a straight portrait. I don’t think this guy needs an introduction. Do you? Hey, that’s Jack Sparrow! Right!? Well, yes, but it’s not Johnny Depp. But, honestly, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. This is […]
OK, I know, now that the St. Louis Renaissance Faire is over, I have to go back to editing in the lighter and airier styles popular today in portrait photography for clients, which is cool, don’t get me wrong! I love when a client is really happy with a package! But, getting to play with […]
I’m getting ready to post the last of my pictures from this year’s Renaissance faire today, but I thought I would highlight another of my favorites from what I’ve posted thus far. This young man attends the fair every year and he’s always spectacular with his garb. He was kind enough to pose for me, […]
In Kimmswick, MO, The Hubs and I came across this historic bridge – The Windsor Harbor Road Bridge. This Keystone Bridge Company bridge started its life in the Carondelet neighborhood in 1874, making it the same age at the more iconic Eads Bridge. It originally crossed the River des Peres at Ivory Avenue. In 1928, it […]
OK, before we leave the Scots area of the St. Louis Renaissance Faire, I had to share the portrait I took of this glorious gentleman! He’s just perfect, isn’t he? I would say “like he stepped off the set of Braveheart,” but he’s obviously more authentic than they were in that movie! LOL I loved […]
Another of my favorite pictures I’ve taken at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire this season is this one of two adorable little girls, playing their recorders near the wooden bridge into the Scots area of the faire. Although you could imagine these two darling girls are right out of the pages of a Scottish history book, […]
OK, I have to admit, I was really happy with how these two pictures turned out, from a composition standpoint. They remind me of some of the paintings from the Renaissance of village festivities or villagers going about their days. I love the look of concern on the one man’s face on the right. And […]
If there is a better picture for a Saturday, I don’t know what it would be. Who doesn’t love this charming porch, with it’s friendly sign and rocking chair? It was all I could do to not run up there, sit in the chair, and relax with a big old lemonade. Of course, I didn’t […]
After yesterday’s long, photo-heavy post, we’re going to kick back and take it easy for Friday. Wandering around the tiny, historic town of Kimmswick, MO, with The Hubs, we came upon this old barn that really spoke to me. I can’t imagine why… I want a barn…with a wine garden…full of wine…Is it too early […]
