Dressed to the Nines
- photos by Keith Borgmeyer
On a breezy Monday morning, Pablo and Victoria Araujo, who own Blanc Studio and La Fiera in The District, came ready to shoot at The Club at Old Hawthorne. Pablo looked fantastic in his suit from Bingham’s, and Victoria looked stunning in her Swank Boutique dress. Modeling seemed to be natural for them, as Keith and I looked at each photo later on that afternoon. The trend continued when Mike and Julie Middleton showed up a few hours later. Julie and I spent a few hours together the previous Friday, playing dress up at White House Black Market at Columbia Mall. It was so difficult for us to choose just two outfits for her to model! Julie works as the Extension Professional and Director of Organizational Development for MU Extension. Her husband, Mike, who looked dapper in his suit from Bingham’s, is the Interim President of the University of Missouri System. We had a wonderful time with both couples and can’t thank them enough for being part of our very first COMO Living Magazine.
