I recently shot some interiors for Kirkwood-based interior designer Marcia Moore. Here work is fabulous, these images (and more) will soon be on her website (http://www.marciamooredesign.com/). Thanks for your time Marcia, your work is beautiful, I look forward to photographing more of it!!
I love the recessed shelves in the shower – cool & convenient!
After the interiors, I did a few portraits of Marcia, this one’s my favorite.
Thanks for a fabulous day Marcia! We’ll be in touch! Best, ie
I’ve just finished updating the wedding section of my website (www.ieimages.com). The portrait section was partially updated about a month ago, still need to replace the category headers for that section. The fine art section is due for an update, that will probably happen in stages. Below are the new images for the wedding and main page categories. Let me know what you think! Have a great day! ie
Thanks to all who stopped by the ie booth yesterday at the STL Bride wedding show at Windows Off Washington. It was a great (but horribly cold) day. If you’d like to further discuss your wedding, please feel free to call!
And because it would be a crime to post a note without a photo, here’s something from last summer. Denny & I went out to dinner with our clients / friends Mark & Stephanie in the Loop. Afterwards we walked the Loop and made this photo. I love it, can’t believe Mark & Steph are celebrating 5 years this May – wow! Best, ie
Big news is brewin’ but I’m not ready to spill the beans! Here’s a teaser / hint! Any one recognize the location?

Just a *few* (ok, more like 10) photos of a house Andy just “built.” I love the details; such creativity! If this does not get you in the holiday spirit, it’ll at least make you hungry. Everything is edible except the trees and a few “nails” that he used to secure the building.
It’s a cozy little two (or is that 3?) story with a wood-burning fireplace that goes through the entire house. Front porch offers plenty of room for rocking chairs…. in warmer weather of course. Note the lovely landscaping… you can tell the owner takes pride in his home. 
This house is more decorated than MY house!
Front steps and one snowman. What’s really funny is that I just realized that when we were kids, we wrapped red ribbon around the columns at my parent’s house… wonder if that’s where Andy got the idea!
The wreath even has details!
I just like the framing of this photo.
Rear-view of the chimney.
Andy making it “snow” a bit more.
He baked all the shingles and siding pieces separately – such a master of detail.
And of course, he’s got a Christmas tree inside. There’s also a table for two and a couch (with pillow).
If you look closely, you can see the inside details. Yellow couch with blue pillow on the left, fireplace (with logs & flame) in the center and the table (set for two) and chairs are to the right. And yes, for those wondering, Andy did consider becoming an architect before choosing the life of a chef. Nice to see that he’s found a way to combine his talents.
Ok, I’m a day late getting this up. It’s just been a crazy weekend. Here are more images from Andy’s friday night dinner party. Be prepared, these images will make you hungry. I ate lunch before I started processing and had to stop & make a snack in the middle. The tomatoes are my favorite, I love tomatoes.
My younger brother Matt works for Andy and he was the server for the evening. I like watching them work together.
This is the second course. It’s a soup but the soup isn’t in the bowl yet. I was doing that all night; shooting food half-prepped – drove me nuts. Just when I thought Andy was done putting a plate together, he’d turn away, I’d start shooting then he’d show up with something else! In my defense, there IS broth in the bowl. I thought it was just heavy on substance and light on liquid. I know, I’ll stick to photography.
Andy introduced each course, I thought that was a nice touch.
The tomato & salad photos are some of my favorites. And the tomatoes were sooo yummy.
I do have photos of the main course but I’m going to save those for a post later in the week. Sorry, like I said, this weekend has been crazy.
And now for dessert!
Even his doodles are fabulous.
All lined up like soldiers!
A toffee and sugared pecan cake layered with chocolate ganache with vanilla tuile cookie and heath toffee crumbles on the plate. This was the first time he’d done this dessert, not bad for a first run.
I’m exhibiting at an art fair (Art in the Park @ Francis Park) next weekend – Sunday, Sept. 28th. I’ve been going through images so I thought I’d post a few. The fair is from 10 AM to 6 PM in Francis Park – one of the best in the City (just my opinion though). Stop by if you can – I’ll have prints for sale and will be offering special pricing for fall sessions! Hope to see you there!

I know, I know – who knew I’d have something like this…
I can’t help it, red just finds me!
Also thought I’d include the fair’s logo…
Remember, it’s NEXT Sunday – Sept. 28th. Hope to see you there! -ie
I had lunch with friend & client Julie Devoti last week and she brought her too-cute 4 year old son, Nick. We had lunch at Newstead Tower Pub, which is owned by Julie’s husband Matt & his brother Anthony (the chef). The pub is really nice, lots of warm red & wood tones. I had the cheeseburger ( Julie had a salad) but I plan to go back for the fish & chips. You can check out their whole menu, as well as their other restaurant Five in the Grove at newsteadtowerpub.com. BTW – Denny & I went to Five last year for our 5th anniversary, clever huh? I thought so. If you go to Five, you MUST have the tomato salad… when it’s in season of course. Enjoy these shots, love those blue eyes!

Lovin’ his mama….
Fr. Driscoll officiated his first Mass Last Sunday at the Shrine of St. Joseph in downtown St. Louis. The Church started allowing girl servers long after I was in that age group so I’ve never seen any of the prep work for a Mass. So this was a pretty neat experience for me. Fr. Driscoll is a photographer’s dream; he put no restrictions on my access and really allowed me to document the process. He’s a really great guy. So here we go, on to photos.
Going over last minute details.
I like this shot a lot.
Just before the processional.
View from the balcony, big & beautiful.
Although he did not give the homily (that was done by the pastor of St. Joe), Fr. Driscoll did address the congregation.
After Mass, many people received first blessings.
After Mass I took a little “me time” and wandered around the area with my camera.
Ok, seriously, how could I resist this photo? This is Maggie, one of Fr. Driscoll’s (many) nieces, she’s a girl after my own heart! I think she even got a shot of me with her mom!
Driscoll family, thanks so much for sharing your weekend with me! I really enjoyed the entire experience. Best to you all! – ie
This weekend has been busy to say the least. I shot the ordination of 9 priests Saturday, the first mass of one of those priests Sunday and another mass this morning. I shot the Ordination primarily for Fr. Driscoll, a priest who served at my church (St. Mark’s), but, we have connections to a few other priests so I shot them too. Below are a few shots from the Ordination. Tomorrow I’ll post some images from Fr. Driscoll’s first Mass. His first Mass was beautiful by the way… for now, here’s the Ordination at the Basilica. More images are viewable via my website in the portrait albums section.
Enjoy – ie
