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!

Gateway Challenge Cheerleading Competition
Thursday, April 1st, 2010 | images, sports | No Comments
We recently photographed the Gateway Challenge Cheerleading Competition for the Champion Spirit Group. Here are a few highlights of some really talented young athletes. The rest of the images are available on our sports photography website, www.athletephotography.com.
Stock Photography
Saturday, March 6th, 2010 | Stock Photography, Workshops/Classes | No Comments
So a frequent question over here at Studio Altius revolves around the topic of stock photography. The industry of stock photography has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Now stock has become accessible for new photographers to enter the market as well as for image buyers to get amazing commercial photography on a budget. We periodically offer a stock photography workshop to help photographers profit from shooting stock, and we have our own stock portfolio available for those commercial clients looking for some great images. Feel free to pop on over and have a look! Just click on the banner below!
