Our Five Cents Worth

Staff News
*Three of Lori's photographic art pieces are now on exhibit at the St. Louis University Museum of Art. If you're looking for a great idea for a Sunday outing, this could be it! The museum is open every day, except Monday, with hours from 1-4 pm.

*Here at the studio we started off the New Year with a celebration like no other. Lindsey is now a Certified Professional Photographer and has attained her Master of Photography Degree. She traveled to New Orleans in January to receive her honors directly from Robert Lloyd, President of our national organization, the Professional Photographers of America. It was a gala event and Lindsey had the opportunity to trade information with professionals from all over the country and beyond -- Maryland, California, Pennsylvania, and even Ireland, just to name a few. She is the youngest female recorded in the State of Illinois to ever achieve this degree! CONGRATS LINDSEY!


Helpful Hints for the "Sunday Shooter"
Spring will be arriving soon and with it comes an inevitable increase in our candid outdoor family photos. Even though the sun is shining, use your flash to decrease a subject's eye-socket shadows. This will help avoid what is known in pro circles as "raccoon eyes."
