Gateway Bible College of Evangelism

Before the conference, the husband and I walked around the absolutely gorgeous campus and did some shots. The campus used to be a Jesuit monastery before it eventually became a bible college. I loved all the ones I took, but I can’t post them all, so here are a few. They are also now in the hands of the fabulous Lee Ann, so look for them in Gateway fodder around you!

ETA: I get a lot of emails and comments about this post - which is crazy to me since they are from so long ago and my style and technique has changed so much since then, but I digress. I merely visited Gateway while going to a 90&9 event. I do not go there, have not attended, and am not affiliated with the college aside from the fact that I have an old friend that teaches there. I have no information as to how to start at Gateway, their choir, their class schedule, or their tuition to provide. Unfortunately, them be the breaks. I recommend contacting Gateway directly if you are interested in them and good luck going there if you do.

St. Louis At Night

After the Arch and the downtown shoot, we went to eat at an Italian restaurant on The Hill and to Ted Drewes Frozen Custard before heading to the Forest Park area. Enjoy.

The Infamous Sun Roof Shoot

So since the group of Bro. Kent Curry, Sis. Nita Curry, Ben, Lee Ann, Karla, Chantelle, and the husband knew that I love photography, the idea came about to drive around downtown St. Louis with the side doors of the Curry mini-van and sunroof open so I could attempt to take advantage of the scenery. I think the pictures came out really well for trying to take pictures as well as not to fly out of the van with Bro. Kent’s driving!

View From the Top

Title should be self-explanatory, these are a few shots from the top and inside the top of the Gateway Arch.

Meet Me In St. Louis

On a trip all the way up to St. Louis, MO, from Baton Rouge, LA, (a 10 1/2 hour trip by the way) for a conference, we got to explore the infamous Gateway Arch. Let me say that those pod elevators are a no-go for anyone claustrophobic, but perfect for small people like me.

Downtown BR

The husband and I walked around downtown and I got some really great shots. Here is a sample to wet your palette.

The Pentagon Barracks

I actually had my bridal portraits here. These pictures, however, will not feature a petite brunette in a flowing white dress with orange corset and bow. (It really was a cute dress.) The last one encompasses the fountain, the barracks, and the capitol in one shot.

BR Skyline and such

From the top of the Capitol building… it is VERY high up. I’ve been rock climbing and on top of the Cliffs of Mohr in Ireland and I was probably more nervous riding up the rickety elevator! The last picture is looking up the still climbing infrastructure.

The State Capitol

The husband and I went all around today and took what was my first trip inside the capitol.

Baton Rouge Churches

Although I’m not Catholic, I have to admit that they have the most beautiful churches. These are just a few of the shots I took of these two beautiful ones. And I’ve finally figured out coloring and contrasting, so A.) YAY B.) Thanks, Jill and C.) I think that they look a little better sometimes. Yes, the sky really was THAT blue… it was a GORGEOUS day.
