Here are some pictures from the first shoot-a-thon that I hosted on June 14, 2009.

I accomplished what I had hoped to with this session. Inviting beginners to come out and get some good pictures for their portfolio. Something I wish there would have been more of when I was FIRST starting out back in the day (2006). Crista Chitwood, from Springfield, IL, who has been in the business for a while brought some of her equipment with her and was very helpful with tips.

Here are just a few of the pictures that I took at the Shoot-a-Thon.
Sara is a co-worker of mine. June 14, 2009 was actually Sara and Tim’s one year anniversary. Sara also brought one of her Bridesmaids with her, Amanda, who also had a ton of fun!

We started at the Arch grounds.

Then took a few at The Landing.

Then moved over to the graffiti wall, which is South of The Arch.

Then we moved over to this abandoned area over by the graffiti wall, which also had a small “field” like area, which was pretty neat.

And then we took a few in front of Busch Stadium.

And we finished in Kiener Plaza.

Sara has some gorgeous eyes!

Dancing in the streets.

Then it was water time.
She’s looking a little nervous about dropping that dress into the water!

There it goes!!!

Oh my gosh. . .what did I just do?

Look at me!!!!!!!!

Time to get the Hubby in there!

Not it’s time to get the BFF in there!

Doesn’t this look like fun?!?!

Then it was time to go home.
Good thing they brought some towels. They were soaked!

This is a great way to spend your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. anniversary! Or you can do it not even on your anniversary, just to have some fun. Sara’s dress just got wet. . .nothing a little dry cleaning couldn’t take care of!!
Contact me if you would want to do something like this!
(I may even invite some other photographers to come along! )
