Green and Pretty {O'Fallon IL Photographer}

Going green? That is what I play over and over in my head on an almost daily basis. When I first decided to bring my business into that direction I never thought it would be as difficult as it has been. I love the boutique look but I also want to be green. So merging the two in to one has been a challenge. When I think of boutique, I think of fun and beautiful packaging to go with amazing one of a kind products. Well I knew I could give my clients the one of a kind product, but what to wrap it up in and present it in was a chore. So after months of collecting I am finally able to start making pretty and green packages!! I have a large collection of lunch and grocery bags. Old fabric I don't want nor need, torn up clothes that have lost their appeal, mint tins, cards, fun jars, and a list of other things that can be used to make your packages pretty. I also use only recycled materials, the higher the percentage the better. And if it's something made in the USA even better!! So we wrapped up our first "Green and Pretty" order and we are so pleased at what we came up with!! Here is a sneak peek of what we came up with so far. More to come!!!

Joslin and Eugene {St Louis Wedding Photographer}

As you can see I had a very busy weekend. My last and final session this weekend with my August 1st bride and groom, Joslin and Eugene. And I couldn't have asked for a better couple to share a fun and romantic evening on the Landing with. They are two of the nicest people I have met and I am so lucky that they let me be their wedding photographer. Here is your sneak peek and I hope you enjoy. More to come soon for sure!!!

Down Town {High School Senior Photographer}

After a lovely lunch at The Morgan Street Brewery, Stephanie and I met up with Miss Chelsea and her little sister. Chelsea is my 2nd rep from O'Fallon High School. This girl has her stuff together. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she will have the amazing opportunity to attend NYU after she graduates. But I also think it's fantastic that she's open to what comes her way. Thank you Chelsea for allowing us to be part of this wonderful time in your life. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

I love my job. And every time I say that I am so thankful for this blessing that I have been given. When I met Kellie at the Soulard Coffee Garden in St Louis back in November I had such a great feeling about her. I knew instantly I wanted to work with this absolutely gorgeous little gal. So when I got the call that I was hired I did my happy dance and eagerly awaited the spring engagement session. And Saturday my day finally came. Meeting Kevin was the icing on the cake. This couple is so easy on the eyes, and their laughter is beyond contagious!! Traci, Steph and myself had such a great time during this session!! This is just a peek. I got some great shots that I want to share and I can't wait till you see them guys... :o) So for now enjoy these few and check back for more. Thanks so much and I am really looking forward to September!!

mix 2 zany photographers, a crazy aspiring photographer and a fun vintage store?


Well that's easy! You will get lots of laughs, a great time and some fun pictures! This also tells you what I do in between shoots. :o)


In between shoots

And We Are Back!!

So that was pretty scary lol. Not having my photoshop about drove me crazy this weekend and of course set me a day or two behind. Grrr But that's ok, my desk got cleaned up, and my calender looks a little neater so it worked out. On to the show....

I had such a busy weekend I don't even know where to start. My first session this weekend was with one of my 2010 Highschool Senior Reps. Janelle is such a well rounded and very grounded girl. She's smart, funny and pretty. She's all that and a bag of chips... yes I just so dated myself I am sure! lol We had a lot of fun and it was great meeting her mom. Thanks ladies, Steph and I had a lot of fun!! Here is your peek!!! More coming soon!!

Sneak Peek is a BUST ;o(

For those of you waiting on your sneak peek for tonight I am so bummed to tell you it's not going up till Monday. I need to reinstall Photoshop on my computer and well the program isn't in a pile somewhere, it's actually been categorized, organized and placed somewhere, probably where it should be, thanks to Stephanie. He He He But once she's back at the desk Monday I will have her SHOW me where it is, I'm sure she did already lol and get it taken care of and your peek will be up!

I had a FANTASTIC day out with you and I cannot wait for you to see some of these!!!

Again so sorry!

Last Call {past clients please read}

As much as I wish I could keep every single picture I take, I can't! At one time I could... but now that this boom has happened I need the room. My hard drive is begging for a purge, soooo spring has sprung and it is time to say out with the old in with the new!! Of course I keep my personal favs, but I can't keep yours. I only hold on to session files for 6 months. After that I need to let them go. So if you had a session in 2008 it's time for me to let them go. If you read this and decide you would like to have the images please email me for information. stacy@moltobellaphotography.com

Thanks!!

And please note this does not apply to weddings. All 2008 weddings will be kept on file for one year. It is important that all couples to back up their files they were given. Do it yearly!! :o)
