Ste. Genevieve Photographer | Becky, 1871

If you know anything about Ste. Genevieve, you know it's the oldest permanent settlement West of the mighty Mississippi River. Because of that, we are inherently interested in history. There are also plenty of themed fairs and events that happen year round. We also have some wonderful people who enjoy making their own themed clothing, like Becky here. I have known Becky a pretty long time now and was honored to get to take some shots of her in her bustle dress. We kept the poses all pretty "generic" and "sterile" to try to keep things more in period time but I still mostly prefer the brightly colored versions than black and white, in this case. There was certainly some beautiful fall foliage that day. I'm looking forward to doing this again!
