Lunch with LaRussa

We recently had the honor of photographing a business luncheon for Woodbury Financial Services. Tony LaRussa spoke to the attendees of the conference along with invited guests. Hearing Tony speak of the past baseball seasons was so interesting, his candor and openness was unexpected. Even more impressive was his take on leadership and moving teams in the right direction. Part baseball guru, part Anthony Robbins. The cardinals are fortunate to have him in their dugout.

We were able to meet a lot of great people that day. A great big shout out to D'Shannon (one of the coolest make-up artist in the greater Saint Louis area), who kept us entertained with her barking at the A.R.F. donation station. The guests set a new record for donations to Tony's charity from previous years. I hope that money will go to a great lengths to help the Animal Rescue Foundation.

If you get a chance, check out D'Shannon's fantastic work at her website http://www.dmakeupartist.com/

Many big thank you's to Tony for hanging around afterward and signing autographs and taking pictures with everyone, inluding the photographers.
