Ya don’t see that every day!

Posted on May 1, 2008

So if you live in the O’Fallon area you have probably seen the house on Green Mount Rd. that has been up on blocks, ready to move to a new location for months. I drive past on an almost daily basis and have been fascinated with the idea of moving a house. Today, as I was driving around doing a little work for an O’Fallon area magazine I came upon a traffic jam. The jam was caused by the house, the parade of police cars and utility vehicles, and the two guys hanging out on the roof of the house. Why were they up there you ask? They were lifting up the power lines over the house as it drove down the street. Of course, I took pictures

Driving down Main St. in Shiloh

Making a rather tight turn into a tiny little street. They removed one street sign to completely make the turn. 

The guys on the roof lifting up power lines so the house could get through.

I met this lovely family at a park this past weekend. The day was gorgeous, they all looked great, it couldn’t have been better. Here are some of my favorites so far while editing…

Family – studio style

Posted on April 22, 2008

I know I have said this before on this blog, but I just love getting to work with families again. It is so fun to see kids grow up and change and this family is no exception! We spent this session using my backdrop and studio lights – something I rarely do anymore. Mr E. – the two year old of the family – was not so sure about me, or anyone else but mom for that matter. But, we pulled off some great shots of him too

On a side note: I have been ordered to the couch this week by my doctor. I spent part of last week in the hospital with kidney stones/kidney infection and am still working on feeling better. I appreciate everyone’s patience with me in getting galleries up, orders sent out and general business stuff!

H Family I hope you enjoy your preview!

Support The Arts!

Posted on April 16, 2008

I have two fun art events to share with you today. The first is the Missoula Children’s Theatre production of Cinderella in O’Fallon, IL. This is such a neat project. The children in the show auditioned on Monday and the shows are this Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 1pm at the O’Fallon High School Auditorium. Tickets are $4 and the show is about an hour. Perfect for kids! For more information on tickets and the show you can contact Jodi Caticchio at 622-0289 or the O’Fallon Parks and Recreation at 624-0139.

BUT! I have 4 tickets for the Friday evening show to give away. Email me at amy@speedoflifephotos.com by Thursday at 3pm and I will randomly draw the winner.

The 2nd event I want to share is St. Louis Photographer Laura Seibert’s Photo Essay Exhibit – Entwined. From the Entwined website: "Entwined…examines the seemingly innate desire to connect with others, as demonstrated by children." Laura’s photographs are gorgeous. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend together. The exhibit will be at the Belas Artes Gallery at 1854 Russell Blvd in St. Louis. It opens April 18th and runs through May 24th.

Sleepy Head

Posted on April 13, 2008

This sweet little sleepy head is my last newborn before I have my own new little one. She was perfect. We got some great shots of her with her adoring family, including a generations shot – baby, mom and grandma. I love it!

B. Family, enjoy your preview!

Yeah, she is totally out for this one.

I love, love, love this family shot.

And she woke up just enough so we could see her beautiful eyes.
