China {senior 2011}

Bryan — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:47:13 +0000

This shoot was way too much fun! All this rain has been making things so dreary around here. The forecast for Friday afternoon was calling for a 0% chance of rain, so we went out and spent an awesome afternoon in the sun.

China rocks. Plain and simple, no easier way to put it. She has a great sense of laid back style and a perfect natural smile, which made my job super easy! China hung out with me in downtown St. Louis for an afternoon of exploring and awesome shooting! I had a great time on this shoot and I hope she did too!

Let me know which photos are your favorites. I am always curious to know.

Neathery Family – 2010

Bryan — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 13:46:12 +0000

Kim and I used to live down the street from each other a LONG time ago. How long ago you ask? Kim’s mom

used to cut my hair, AND babysit my sister and I. It is really funny how people from your past make it

back into your life. You may remember the wedding I second shot about a month ago with

@stephaniegeisler. Stephanie was also one of my childhood babysitters. Anyway, enough about that.

Rob and Kim’s family was a pleasure to shoot with. We had a great day to shoot. How crazy is it to be

in mid October and have early morning tempatures in the high 60s?? I could really get used to this.

Enjoy the set.

Christian – 2010

I love urban shoots!! Christian is such a little model. I’m not kidding, this little guy has potential! His uncle Calvin

would tell you he gets it from him. Apparently Chirs and Kellie taught him his perfect smile the night

before the shoot. He really rocked it!

Ashley+Trevor – e-Session

Bryan — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 03:32:34 +0000

Sunday afternoon I shot Ashley and Trevor’s e-session. Leading up the the shoot the whole day was gloomy and raining off and on. As a photographer I loved the idea of a cloudy/overcast day. These kind of days make for nice even light. ;)

Ashley and Trevor chose a great location, The Gardens @ SIUE. It was beautiful. They were so much fun to work with.

Ashley and Trevor, thanks for spending the evening with me and creating these great images!

This past Saturday I joined Stephanie Miller-Geisler for a wedding at Queen of Peace Church in Bethalto. The weather was great, the group was fun (Hysterical actually!), and the shots turned out amazing! Checkout some of my favorites from the day.

Nicholas and Michael

Bryan — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:31:42 +0000

About two years ago I was able to hang out and shoot some pretty awesome pictures of Nicholas when he was just a wee little lad. A couple weeks ago I was given the opportunity to shoot some more pictures of him. Now he is a big brother to little Michael. Let me tell you, he is just that. He really looks out for him.

It was a pretty hot day with the heat index up around 110. (I was sweating like a hog) Both of these boys didn’t seem to mind. They did such a great job!

The first couple images are of Nicholas when he was a baby. Look how he has grown!

This was my first opportunity to shoot in Forest Park in St. Louis, MO. I had a blast with the Soong family. The pictures turned out great.
