Some pics I was hired to take of Nelly at the St. Louis Auto Show Charity Gala

The video from Paint Pour 2012

I was asked to supervise a Paint Pour – one of the interactive art exhibits at an elementary school Art Festival. At the last minute I thought it would be kind of cool to film the kids doing their thing. This video was shot with the Nikon D90 and edited in Vegas.

What I love about this art is the simplicity of it. The natural, quiet and seemingly random beauty that happened in the midst of a very excited and chaotic environment. The art seemed to grab everyone’s attention – most people just couldn’t look away. In the end, dozens of kids got to take part in a piece of art and see, in real time, what people thought of it. It was awesome to be a part of.

Last week some good friends of mine asked me to supervise a paint pour with a bunch of elementary students at an art fair.  At the last minute I thought I thought about shooting some video and stills.  Here’s a sample – the video will come later.  It was a lot of fun and the kids couldn’t get enough of it – many of them came back again and again and again!  Come to think of it, I’ll have to do this again…

Tonight I was honored to photography several of my friends performing on the silks.  They are quite simply fantastic!  Here are a few pics from the shoot…

I was very excited when Erin and Mark asked me to take their family photos again for the second year in a row!  We went to Forest Park and had a blast!  Here are a few photos from the session…

Had a recent family photo shoot at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.  They were awesome to work with!  Enjoy the pics…
