PSA**
Unfortunately I have been given bad news today. January 1st there will no longer be a studio. My landlord needs the space to build a garage so its time for me to go.

Im not really sure what my future will bring me. Life has been hard the past 5 years trying to make sure I can stay afloat and continue to serve this awesome community.

I dont want this to be the end. So hopefully I can figure out a plan. I have been in business for 15 years now. Retired from the Navy so I feel like I have had harder roads to go down so I will not let this bring me down.

As far as not having a studio, I will most likely have to do in home newborn sessions until I figure out a game plan. I am even tossing the idea to rent another space with another photographer. But then its really hard to trust people in this world. I have always been a one man show.

With all this being said keep me in your thoughts. My mental health has been crappy for most of this year and I finally got it under control and dont need anymore set backs.

Much love
James

This is why photos are so important. I love this woman and she loves me back. I am the favorite so...lol. Every time I see her I take a selfie because you never know when it will be the last time. She has almost gone away alot of times but she is still trying to be strong.
I think this should be a trend for everyone. Hug your grandparents and take selfies with them every time you see them.

She is all finished and I took her out on her maiden voyage today and trailered her to St.Louis then drove around the Arch grounds and downtown. She ran like a top. And of course she needed a photoshoot being her first day out.

Now lets talk photo sessions. I am thinking girls or boys and a super cool location. The car is on bags so it raises up or put it down if I am feeling a little gangster lol.

The outfits could be all kinds of crazy or think of the movie Grease and big dresses, fun big glasses a cute purse. Or gangster like a suit or whatever you are feeling.

Now if I can find someone that has a poodle dress and a white poodle that is groomed I will give you a free session. If the girl was smaller like 7 to 10 even better but I am not picky. Bring me a white poodle lol

Very cool, Holiday light hopping came out again this year to document the house. If you don't already follow their page be sure to do so. She goes around each holiday and documents homes that are really cool so she can make a map for everyone to enjoy with the family.
