As I reflect on weddings from 2018 and research what might be in store for this coming year, I'm starting to see how a lot of trends of 2019 as reported by many wedding outlets can be a real possibility starting in 2019. Some of these trends are ones that I saw with...
Indoor Lifestyle Family Pictures Strasburg, IL :: White
You'll notice two blogs with similar titles posted one right after the other. That's because I delivered two couples their albums and prints on the same day. Check out Andrew and Lara's blog for why a session like this. What a fun time this was delivering Mitch and...
Indoor Lifestyle Family Pictures Strasburg, IL :: Bauer
Every year I do an evaluation on my business and try to critically think of areas I can improve on. Every year, I have one specific thing that I focus on the most. This year, that thing is delivery. I have processes in place to help ensure communication prior to a...
Altamont, IL Senior Pictures :: Kelsy
Not everyone can pull of a great smile and then a great serious face. Most of us look like we are angry when we try and do pictures not smiling, am I right? Not Kelsy, she could rock both the smile and a serious face like it was nothing. We had such a perfect day for...
Engagement Pictures Ballard Nature Center Altamont, IL :: Heather + Mark
I can't believe it's New Year's Eve already. In an effort to produce the best turnaround for those we work with the best, my social media and blogging side of things kind of took a back seat the last part of this year. That doesn't mean I forgot about these sessions...

Kinkaid Lake Spillway Engagement Pictures :: Doug + Annette
When Doug and Annette sent me pictures of where they wanted to do their session, I was 100% on board. When you hear the word spillway, you might picture a something like a deep ditch, or a concrete ramp for water to run down, you probably don't think of a huge...
In Love Session Altamont, IL :: Amanda + Alex
Midway through this year, Amanda messaged asking about doing a session of her and her and Alex. They've been together for quite a while and haven't had professional pictures taken. For this reason alone, I was on board! I love having the opportunity of providing...
Newton, IL Wedding Photographer :: Renea + Kent
Can it really be that this is our last wedding of the year?! It literally seems like yesterday that I was starting the wedding season. I can't believe how much has happened. I know everyone says at the end of every year how quickly the year has gone by. I've also...
Altamont, IL Wedding Photographer :: Lara + Andrew
Anytime I have an opportunity to photograph a friend's wedding, it's a pretty special feeling. I've known Andrew for probably the better part of 10 years, maybe longer. Time anymore seems to go by quicker and quicker. As a couple Natasha and I have had the opportunity...
Senior Pictures St. Elmo, IL :: Megan
This Fall has been the busiest Fall for me in 9 years of being in photography. It's been exciting, but it's also been quite a learning experience. I love that I get to work in an arena where I'm constantly learning new ways of making my business better. This year was...
