Gender Reveal with Smoke
If you follow me on social media, I'm probably going to sound like a broken record with this message, but I'm going to act like you haven't seen my post and write about this sweet family anyway. 🙂 When we found out we were pregnant with Liam, soon after, we ran into...
Effingham, IL Engagement Pictures :: Melissa + Logan
I'm just LOVING this summer! Maybe it's because the dead of winter lasted so long, but I've really been loving the vibrancy in the colors that nature has been showing off. This, of course, makes for some pretty incredible images! We started Melissa and Logan's...
Effingham, IL Family Pictures :: Slavens
What an absolutely PERFECT evening for pictures!! For the Slaven's Pop-Up Session, I wanted to do something a little different. Since these sessions are a little shorter, I wanted to do pictures much later than I usually do. Just as the sun was above the horizon is...
Effingham, IL Family Pictures :: Hecht
We recently ran a special for Father's Day this year to kick off our first official run of Pop-Up Sessions. If you might be confused what a Pop-Up Session is, check out more information here. I received a message from the Hecht family wanting to do baseball pictures...
Pop-Up Sessions
If you follow me on social media, you've probably seen a number of posts on Pop-Up Sessions. I've tried to explain what they are in a quick bit in posts, but I can only say so much in an Instagram post until it becomes too many words for one post. So I'll use this...
Vandalia, IL Engagement Pictures :: Alison + Jake
Wow! I guess Spring is no longer a season. I think it pretty much goes Winter, Late Winter, Summer. I'm not ready to sweat gallons yet, but I'm sure I've already lost a few pounds in just sweat alone. AH! This brings us to Alison and Jake's engagement session. Sure,...
San Francisco, CA Engagement Pictures :: Tracy + Sam
When I talked with Tracy and Sam about their wedding day, and the topic of engagement pictures came up, they were all for doing pictures out there way in San Francisco. This is a city I've wanted to visit for a long time. I love the redwoods, the bridge, Alcatraz and...
Bloomington, IN Engagement Pictures :: Katie + Chris
It's been a couple weeks of travel for us so far during the month of May. I am always a fan of when I can see new places. Something about going to a place with fresh eyes sparks so much creativity. Katie and Chris' session took us to Bloomington Indiana on Indiana...
Chicago, IL Senior Pictures :: Marissa
Senior pictures in Chicago are some of the best sessions because the city offers SO much. During this session, Marissa didn't care to go to all the toursity locations, and that was fine by me. Don't get me wrong, I love the bean, the skyline, and Buckingham Fountain....
Altamont, IL Family Pictures :: Dylan
If you caught yesterday's blog then I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I LOVE when I can have the opportunity to work with the same people multiple times. I did Dylan's 1-year pictures pretty recently and now he's older, more active... definitely more...
Altamont, IL Family Pictures :: Tate
It's the best feeling in the world being trusted by a family to take their family pictures year after year. When I started doing family photography, my hope was that it wouldn't be a one and done sort of thing. I wanted to be able to build relationships with families...
Altamont, IL Engagement Pictures :: Clara + Dylan
What a fantastic day for pictures out at Ballard Nature Center. Every time I do a session at Ballard since it's pretty much in my own backyard, I try and make sure to make every session a little different or unique from the previous. Now, I know that every session is...
