month: March 2010




Noah is my first baby planner!  I am so excited to document his first year of life.  Here are a few of my favorites from his newborn session (he was about three weeks here I think).  Isn’t he adorable?

This is one of my favorite…so simple and he is so bright eyed!

Such proud parents!

I usually try something new at every shoot.  This was my new background setup and I think it turned out great.  I also LOVE using the natural light in the studio…isn’t it pretty?





It’s that time of year again!  I can imagine how excited the senior class of 2010 must be with only a few months left in their high school careers.  With plans getting underway for celebrations I wanted to remind all my 2010 Seniors that you still have time to order custom graduation announcements and party invites.  No two designs are alike!  Please contact the studio before Friday, April 30th if you are interested in having me design your invites.  There are several types and sizes of invites available to fit every budget out there.  Please call the studio at 815-878-6406 or contact me using the contact page on this blog.  Here are a few of my favorites from last year’s senior class.  Congrats to all the graduating seniors!





Kiyrra’s mommy is one of my assistants for weddings and when she called to see if I would be up for photographing her one year old tear into a cake I was more than willing!  We had a great time watching her and I think she may be on a sugar high for a week.  I’ve seen other photographers offer a one year special like this and I’m definately adding this type of package to my studio.  I think I could watch kids do this all day every day and never tire of it!  Thanks, Stefanie, for bring her in and a special thanks to big brother for helping me out with getting Kiyrra to smile!

Look at those beautiful eyes!

The calm before the storm!
