• About Studio Momenti


      Studio Momenti features the work of Josef Willis and Lisa Ruschetti and is located in the historic downtown of Bristol Virginia/Tennessee.

      In addition to maintaining a studio in Bristol we travel frequently throughout the Southeast and beyond to photograph weddings.

      Additionally we have a summer presence in Butte, Montana where we primarily concentrate on high school seniors.

      Through our Pageant Photography Division we photograph the Miss Maryland USA and Miss Illinois USA pageants in Bethesda and Chicago.

{ Logan’s CD }

The charming and uber talented Logan stopped by this afternoon to give us a copy of her new CD, Okay.  I know it’s been a long time coming for her and she should be so proud.

It sounds awesome!  And I think our photography looks great too.

{ Samantha Casey — Miss Virginia USA 2010 }

We we so excited to see Samantha again (We meet her when she was Miss Virginia Teen in 2006) and were glad she stopped by the studio for some updated photographs on her way to Las Vegas to appear in the reality show “The B Girls”.

These are some of our favorites from the session (we”ll have more to show later). Stephanie from “A Bridal Path” brought over some extra clothes (even a wedding dress) to model and we spent the better part of the day trying different looks.

earl carter - great photos…very nice work!

{ kourtney – John Battle HS }

The fabulous Kourtney stopped by the studio on Saturday with some awesome clothes.  We had a great time the studio.

And she didn’t mind a bit shooting outside in the freezing rain.  A smile like that could warm up any winter day!

{ Weatherly is so cool }

Myers and Shelly brought not the quite a month old Weatherly into the studio for her first session last week.

Weatherly was so cool, she didn’t care at all.  And when it was over she decided it was time to snooze.

{ Breyanna’s Senior Book }

We just received Breyanna’s senior Novella Visiva (senior album) back from the printer and it’s awesome.  Breyanna is a super talented girl and this is a great documentation of an extraordinary teen.

Breyanna was the first runner up for the Miss Virginia Teen USA.  Congratulations.

{ Jacque Carroll – Miss Virginia Teen USA 2010 }

Jacque stopped by the studio with the Miss Virginia USA crew for a session to update her photographs for this year’s publicity tour.

It was so much fun.  Our neighbors at the Bridal Path brought over some dresses and Jackie brought lots of great stuff to try on.

She’s excited and she”l be a great representative for Virginia throughout the year.

TERE - THESE ARE SOOO AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE THIS ONE!

{ Paulena }

The lovely Paulena stopped by to have some senior photographs taken and I was surprised to learn that she was graduating early from Tennessee High.  And moving to Florida !

Can you do that?  She’ll miss the cold, wet winter in East Tennessee/SW Virgina!  What great motivation to study hard.   But I’m sure she’ll reconsider while sitting on the warm beaches in Boca this winter.
