St. Louis Photographer » A Journal by Holly McCaig

This was ONE busy weekend! We’ve been doing our Class of ‘11 Model Search and all weekend have been doing headshots of our applicants that have scheduled to come in. I am SO excited about these kids. So adorable, excited and outgoing. Love that!

After yesterday’s, we headed back over to Old St. Charles to do Cady’s Senior Portrait session. Little did we know, it was Octoberfest there – but, luckily, it was clearing out as we arrived. Ahhh. My mission on this shoot was to make sure that we didn’t copy Brittney’s session (since we were in the same location) and make it as equally cute. I think I pulled it off. Yah. Here’s just one peek!

People ask me about which lenses I use and I have to say, I did Cady’s entire session with my 50mm f/1.4 lens. I’m ready to upgrade to the 1.2 next. The only edited I did on this image was some white balance correction to warm it up. That lens makes my heart swoon. And, Cady was an excellent subject! Don’t you think?

I’m gearing up to work all winter on my fresh high school senior ideas for the business. Many are card designs, like the one here. Seniors should have FUN grad announcements to send out, featuring their awesome senior sessions, don’t you think? I used Brittney’s dress as inspiration for this design. Loves it! Clients, you can buy this card in the Client Lounge when you order your prints! Grad announcement orders should be placed in April so we can be sure to get them approved and delivered in time for you to address them for graduation. When you order your grad announcements at your preview session, you can take $10 off! P.S. Photogs…you can purchase this design at Pink Ink Studios for your business outside of the St. Louis area.)
