Looking back at photo-story moments

Each week, the Southeast Missourian photography staff takes readers into the lives of locals in our weekly photo story. This story now materializes on a photo spread in the Good Times section, but has until recently been located on the section’s cover page. More often than not, the Weekend Edition’s main front page image also comes from this story. We’re doing something different this week on that photo spread. We’ve decided to take a look at how these photo stories are approached, photographed and ultimately shared with readers. Here’s a look back at some moments from those recent photo stories.

Air Force veteran Bill Coomer, aka "Wild Bill," of Cape Girardeau looks out of a blind during a snow goose hunt March 14 in Ware, Illinois. For Coomer, AM Vets Outdoors is about getting veterans together. Coomer is the founder of the organization, which takes veterans on hunting and fishing trips. "The whole premise of this is for vets to be introduced to other vets that way they can become friends with at least one of them," Coomer said. "That way where later on, if they have depression or thoughts of suicide or whatever, at least they have somebody to talk to."

Gail Lowrance of Cape Girardeau waves to a passerby while taking a portrait Tuesday, April 7, 2020, at her apartment in Cape Girardeau. Lowrance started staying at home March 16. She's taken drives, but said she hasn't been around others or gone out shopping. "It's been difficult, you know, not being around friends," Lowrance said. "Family adjustments, that's hard." She said she was originally supposed to fly to California to see her grandson, but the trip got canceled. Her daughter is expecting twins in Tennessee, and she said she'll likely miss the delivery. "It's our obligation, and it's the least we can do," Lowrance said about staying at home. "I think it's the right thing to do, and I rely on the experts to tell me because that's not my decision to make."

Trevor Kroenung and Jenni (Heisserer) Kroenung share a kiss while celebrating indoors shortly after being married Saturday, April 25, 2020, in Scott County, Missouri. The couple didn't let the COVID-19 pandemic change the date they had set for their wedding. They simply downsized. With only their parents and a few select others in physical attendance, the couple exchanged rings and entered their union April 25 at the Scott County home of bridesmaid Brittany Felter, who also officiated the service. "It's just the day that we picked, and we wanted one thing to stay the same really," Jenni (Heisserer) Kroenung said. After the service, more celebrating took place indoors followed by the taking of pictures outside by the hillside and nearby pond. "It was so perfect to me," Jenni said after the wedding. "Obviously I got a little emotional. ... At the end of the day, I got to marry the man of my dreams."
