Effingham, IL Senior Pictures :: Connor
It's been a minute since I've done senior pictures. If you follow my work, I'm sure you've seen that the senior photography presence has been at a minimum. I'm not necessarily known for my senior photography, but it's one of my favorite types of sessions creatively....
Effingham, IL Family Pictures :: Braunecker

Family Pictures Champaign, IL :: Carter

I’m Engaged! Now What?
The question has been asked and you've now been promoted from girlfriend or boyfriend to fiance. Doesn't it sound like a dream? I'm sure you've known this day would come eventually, but now that it's here, it's kind of surreal referring to your significant other as...
