E-Session with Leslie and Jeff

I had a great time meeting Leslie and Jeff on Main Street in St. Charles. We started off at the local coffee house and worked our way to the train tracks in Frontier Park. They plan to get married next June. Congratulations to them both.

Congrats Lauren and Mike

I know I've neglected the blogger fans and have a tone of catching up to do. So here are a few photos from Lauren and Mike's wedding on June 6th. The ceremony was at Our Lady of Laurdes which is a stunning church and the reception was at Windows Off Washington which is always fun to photograph at. We had some fun at Forest Park and the Arch durring our down time. Here are a few of my favs.

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 was honored to have a wedding featured in the spring bridal issue of St. Charles Magazine. Congratulations to Jennifer and Jonathon Moberly.

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:

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!
