Holiday Portrait Smiles

I know I've mentioned how much we LOVE holiday portrait time! It's always so great to see everyone again! The Trottier's were in yesterday and bless their hearts to have come down to the Central West End when the weather was so cold. As you can see, this is one gorgeous family!

Bummer that the WinterFest was cancelled yesterday in the CWE.......... the sidewalks were still so icy, it was super cold, and there were still trees down everywhere. On the way to the studio yesterday morning a crew was working to remove a huge tree that had fallen on some poor soul's shiny new Lexus!

We've heard from clients in town and out of town that are touching base with everyone to see how they are faring in the aftermath of the storm. Once again it reminds us that our portrait families and brides and grooms are so wonderful.

I think that all St. Louisans are counting their blessings that things could have been worse. If the precipitation that fell as ice was snow we would have had 3 feet of the white stuff! We still have ice on the too heavy trees and many are still without power. All of us in the studio lost power in the storm with Bobbi's coming back up last. The studio itself was without power for a short time but is now nice and warm. And our weatherfolks are saying that the cold is here to stay with a flurry (no pun intended) of storms coming the week of Christmas.

Our hearts are breaking for those that are still without power, it has to be absolutely horrible. Get out there and check on friends neighbors, make sure that everyone has what they need--- be a blessing to someone today.
