EMILY + MIKE
St. Louis, Missouri Session
Autumn foliage is on display among the tree lined streets that fortified the Victorian homes of the Shaw neighborhood in St. Louis the day we meet up with Mike and EMily for this post-modern in-home session. We then hit the pavement for some contemporary cool street vibes. We first met Emily and Mike in St. Louis at a wedding we shot in March of 2019. (Shout out to Alex and Addison! Hey guys! ;) ) They are the two creatives behind Juniper Films and together they create surreal, beautiful works of art. Their style is on full display in this collection as they let us experiment and focus on this couple’s shared creativity.
The home, built in the 1920s, seems to be dripping with a long history of its own. A history that mike and emily contribute to daily. Recent renovations and future projects pepper the house, but the original style and design is only complimented by these changes. Above their bed hangs a map of the U.s. a map that is more than appropriate for a couple that dots across america as filmmakers. mason, their small yorkie, hops on the bed with mike and emily and snags of few photos with his parents and sits for his own portrait.
The late evening light trickles into the bedroom and works some magic at the end of daylight savings. streaking light and reflections create a rich, glowing look and lingering sense warmth. in A dining room stocked with a healthy provision of greenery, emily dances as mike snapped a few quick photos from the adjoining kitchen.
We head out and trot down the sidewalks covered in recently fallen leaves, then head downtown to a parking garage mike has access to. With nothing but natural light, we get a chance to flex our industrial muscle. the converted garage seems to be a gutted former office building, now resembling a set piece from eraserhead. Walls adorn with chipped white tile and torn wallpaper make for a lush variety of backdrops.
As the sun starts to finally disappear, we make our way down alleys and harness the last bit of golden light. We play with overexposure and slow shutters to create a sense of pause. taking in fleeting light and making time stand still in these photo stills.
