Cirque du Cheveux Locks of Love Fundraising Photoshoot- BIG Success!
Monday, June 7th, 2010 | Events, Fundraiser, images | 1 Comment
As many of you know, On June 5th, 2010 we transformed Studio Altius into a photo shooting circus for Cirque du Cheveux, our Locks of Love Fundraiser. We are proud to announce that the day was a SUCCESS!!! Our stylists cut off 34 ponytails which equaled out to over 33 feet of hair to donate to Locks of Love to make wigs for children in need. In addition to the hair, we also had financial contributors who didn’t donate hair, as well as from the photos that we printed on site, which would not have been possible without the Fantastic Ray Kersting from Schiller’s.
We send out our greatest appreciation to the gracious and talented volunteers that worked the event. Without you, the day couldn’t have been possible. We also must say thank you to friends old and new and to our families who attended the event and supported us in making the day a success.
Thank you to Randall, Christina, Carol, Deborah, Noah, Griffen, Gretchen, David, Gabrielle, Alexis, Joan, Shawna, Karen, and Amelia for being brave and cutting off your ponytails!
Thank you to Paul, James, Melanie, Ashley, Michelle, Ricca, and the 2 ladies that came out from Clayton on short notice for doing all of the fantastic new short styles!
Thank you to Boo the Clown, Meg-A-Legs, Tome the Mime, Julie the Fantastic Face Painter, Ray K. the Gangsta Print Maker, and D-Star Photographer Extraordinaire for making the event fun for all who attended!
Thank you to Maximus at C & C Quality Printing for donating the printing of all of the flyers and postcards that we used to promote the event around town. To A & M Salon Supply for donating the styling chair that we used on our stage to do all of the ponytail cuts. And to National City Bank in Maplewood for donating your helium tank so we could have floating balloons for the kids!
Thank you to our parents and close friends who did so much to help us with ALL of the preparations before and helped out during the event. We love you guys!

A Wedding at Studio Altius!
Monday, February 8th, 2010 | Weddings, images | 1 Comment
Yes, that is right…in January, we not only photographed Elaine and Mark’s wedding, but in true Studio Altius Weddings “you get what you want” fashion, we also were the venue for their wedding ceremony! We were glad to be able to offer them our space, especially since it was a small wedding which we could accomodate in our art gallery. As we found out during their engagement shoot, this is a really fun couple which made for some great photo opportunities during the evening. Also, for those who frequent the Maplewood Arts District, where we are located, you might find a familiar face in one of the bridesmaids, Colleen Heine, the Executive Director of Folk School of St. Louis (just down the street from Studio Altius). This wedding was photographed by Amy, David, and Shawna (hey, if you show up to the studio on your wedding day, how can David not take some awesome studio shots for you!).
