A Little Birdie Told Me…


During this  morning’s check-out-the-new-garden coffee stroll, the echinacea was blooming.

I almost missed him underneath the plants…

He was playing possum. Really.

I see you, Robin Jr. !

I can see by your expression (and I know my bird expressions having worked with many bird models in the past),  that you are telling me me to go away.

So I did.

Hickman High School Pre-Prom, Part Two


With apology to those who received multiple copies of the last blog, here is Part Two of the Hickman High School Pre-Prom. Part One can be found from our Home Page. Feel free to share!  Congratulations to all seniors.  The combination of such gorgeous gowns (and tuxes!) and the beautiful Shelter Gardens was just too much to resist!

For information on booking Senior Portraits (for all you juniors), visit our website at www.clevercreekstudio.com.

And yes, we included some of the paparazzi (a.k.a. parents) in the albums! They have every reason to be proud.To view ALL the images, visit our Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/pages/Clever-Creek-Studio.

Calling all Juniors!


Some of our favorite people are high school students.  So full of hope for the future.  Cool in ways most of us forgot how to be.  Thoughtful and fun. Passionate and energetic.

Dare we say “Clever?”

That is why the call is out for outgoing  juniors with positive attitudes to kick off  the search for 2012-2013 Clever Creek Studio Senior Ambassadors.

We are now accepting applications to be a Clever Creek Senior Ambassador. Students chosen will have their senior portraits taken in a fun-filled 90-minute session.  All  we ask is that they share our information with everyone they know.  In return, they will receive huge discounts and free items in their portrait package, a one minute animated show featuring them, ambassador cards to pass out, and the chance to win prizes-even an iPad!

If you are in the Class of 2013, or know someone who is, contact us today!  If you live in the Columbia-Jefferson City area or surrounding communities, we want you!

Photo of the Day: Potential


Ran across this little acorn on a photo shoot the other day. It had me thinking about all the high school juniors and seniors we are going to be working with in the next few months with our Senior Ambassador Program and Senior Portraits.  Such an exciting time!

Calling the Class of 2013…


The holidays have come and gone and with the threat of snow in Mid-Missouri almost past, we here at Clever Creek Studio are looking ahead—–to the Class of 2013!

Yes, it is time to start recruiting our 2013 Senior Ambassadors. We are looking for current high school Juniors (Seniors next year) to promote Clever Creek Studio to their classmates.

The program is a great way to offset the cost of having senior portraits made. Your sitting fee is waived. You receive media-ready images of yourself to share with friends and family. You will also get a really cool one minute animated slide show featuring you for social media sharing!

You will be given Ambassador Cards to hand out to your friends. For each referral, you get additive discounts on prints, plus free wallets and chances to win cash and prizes. You could even win an iPad!

Here is a partial list of schools where our program is recruiting: Rock Bridge, Hickman, Helias, Jefferson City, Southern Boone, Centralia, Columbia Independent, Hallsville, Harrisburg, Sturgeon, Blair Oaks, Russellville, Eugene, and Booneville. If you don’t see your school on the list, apply anyway! Home schooled students are encouraged to apply.

Let’s make this announcement viral. If you know anyone who might be interested, please forward!
