Adeia Madeline

I can't resist posting a few more photos of my cutie pie niece, Addie. She's just such a doll! I wish I could snap photos of her every single day. It's pretty fun that I get to photograph this beautiful little person as she grows and grows... all the huge milestones, and hopefully a lot of the small ones. She's not walking quite yet, but I know she's stood up on her own without holding on to anything, so it can't be far away! I can't wait to chase her around... especially once the weather gets nice... if it ever does!

A Chilly Shoot

Today I hung out with one of my sisters-in-law, Elizabeth. She is my husband Nick's younger sister, and I love her to pieces. Actually, I have been incredibly blessed to have two sisters-in-law who are amazing and who I get along with so well and love so much. God is good!
But today, Elizabeth and I headed off into the cold-blue-yonder to do a rather cold and windy photo shoot. She was so funny... she showed up at our apartment with a suitcase full of fashion possibilities. So we stashed it all in my car and headed out to downtown West Chicago where there are some great urban-looking buildings that make for fantastic backdrops. We shot for well over an hour and Liz wasn't wearing a coat for most of it, so it was an adventure! A worth while adventure for sure. Elizabeth looked amazing, and I managed to snag some really great photos of her... not that it was hard to do with her cuteness!
We took well over a hundred, but here are just a few of my personal favorites. Enjoy!

Senior Portraits

Spring is the time where senior portrait season kicks into high gear! Whether you choose to book in the summer between your jr and sr year so you have your photos for the whole of senior year, or to book for the spring of your senior year so you have them for the end of the year, now is the time to book your portrait session!

My senior portrait sessions are more like a fashion photo shoot than your traditional sessions. I mean, I liked my senior portraits, but they weren't as edgy as I was in highschool. I think its way more interesting to go to a location that you love... whether its some beautiful garden, or some urban-looking stretch, and capture your personality!

The shoot will most likely last about an hour, and you will end up with between 50-100 photographs, depending on the type of portrait you are looking for.

The package includes:
- an on-location shoot with one location
- one outfit change
- online proofing
- one collage print of your three favorite photographs
- all images color corrected & toned

optional add-ons are:
- additional locations
- additional outfit changes
- bring a friend (this will add an additional 25-50 photographs to your session
- additional time (by the hour)

If you are interested, shoot me an email and we can discuss prices and booking. Also, if you book your senior portraits with me and refer a friend who also books a senior session, you will be credited $50 on your order.

Enjoy the rest of your senior year! Trust me, it goes by too fast. =)

Amazing Grace

About five and a half months ago I married the most amazing man alive. His name is Nick and he is absolutely God's grace for me. He is the best husband in the world and I am so blessed. I cannot imagine my life without him, and I am so glad that I don't have to. He is smart, handsome, loving, incredibly talented, and perfectly romantic. I just thought I would extole his virtues and share a picture of his handsomeness.
oh- and he is the most amazing pianist I have ever personally met, so if you ever need one for some occasion... Nick is your man. =)

Devon

My youngest sister Devon is a freshman in highschool, although I don't think you could tell by these pictures! (they were her eighth grade graduation photos...to mark the occasion). There is no denying that she is a gorgeous young woman. I think she could be a model!
These are just a sample of senior-picture type photographs, fashion photos, or general portrait session.

Josh & Nonni

Back in June I shot my Husband's old band-mate's wedding. Josh and Nonni had been in love since they were teenagers... it was great to shoot their wedding, even though there were some difficulties along the way. And by that I mean that some punk stole my equiptment! But my now partner, and then my own wedding photographer, Heather Stone came to my rescue! In the end it was quite a great experience, and a beautiful wedding.

Here are just a few of their photographs for your viewing pleasure!!!

My adorable niece

So I have the most beautiful, smiley, happy, lovely nieces in the world! Of course I'm not even remotely biased... it's simply fact. =) She is my brother and sister-in-laws' first child... and they are the cutest family. Its so fun to watch your little brother be an incredible daddy. In honor of my niece Addie... here is her cuteness!

Todd & Shaina

My friends Todd & Shaina got married December 27th, and while not their photographer, who can resist bringing the camera and taking some shots? I didn't want to get in the way, because I know how that is, so most of them are of friends and family...
here are a couple...
