Meet Me At The Muny

Well, it's that time again. The time of year where Solea Photography gladly teams up with the Downs Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis. We had such a great response from last year that we actually added 3 dates for our portraits in the park. This little video is from the first session that was at The Muny. We had a wonderful time and I really enjoyed meeting all the families. Our next event is this weekend at Frontier Park. Stay tuned for a sneak peek and for more info on the DSAGSL visit them online at www.dsagsl.org.

Solea Photography featured in St. Charles Magazine

Solea Photography was honored to have a wedding featured in the spring bridal issue of St. Charles Magazine. Congratulations to Jennifer and Jonathon Moberly. It's always fun to see yourself in a magazine. The couple was married June 7, 2008 at the beautiful Jewel Box and had the reception at The Columns in St. Charles.

2009 Baby & Child Portrait Contest

Solea Photography is proud to announce that we are one of the participating photographers for the 2009 Baby & Child Portrait Contest.

Categories for this year’s contest include: Color, Black & White/Sepia, Special Needs, and Humorous.

The online contest will consist of four different qualifying rounds and one final round. Each round will last for one month. Miller’s customers will be able to post entries during the first three weeks of every qualifying month and vote during the last week of the month. We will be changing the voting interface for the 2009 contest, allowing customers to view entries as thumbnails, hopefully speeding up the voting process. Posting and voting deadlines are listed:

* Round 4 (June): Post Entries – June 1 – 21. Vote on Entries – June 22 – 30.

For each qualifying round, the top five winners will be selected from the four categories. These winning portraits will be entered into the Final Round, which takes place during the month of July. The Final Round will be judged online by a panel of esteemed photographers. First, Second, and Third places, as well as two Honorable Mentions, will be announced for each category! Cash prizes for these winners include $2,000 for First, $1,000 for Second, $750 for Third, and $500 for each Honorable Mention. One portrait from the Final Round will also receive the highest of accolades -- Grand Prize Winner. The cash prize will be $5,000 for this lucky winner! All cash prizes will be given to the families of the winning portraits.

Still need a calendar for the new year?

I recently received my copy of the new 2009 calendar for the Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis. The layout and design is absolutely beautiful. The calendar features photos of children with downs. Some of the photos are professionally taken by myself and two other St. Louis photographers that donated their talent and time and photos send in by parents. It you are like me and have procrastinated on getting your new calendar for the year than give the DSAGSL a call at 314-961-2504 or visit www.dsagsl.org. All proceeds benefit the programs and services of the DSAGSL.
