I know how hard it can be to get started in photography. I started when I was just 13 and would have LOVED to have someone who was  experienced to teach me a few of the ins and outs. But I was SO intimidated of all the older, more established photographers, I didn’t dare ask. […]

One of the best things about being married is you get to add another set of family. My husband’s  family really is wonderful- we love them tons. This is his brother and sister-in-law and their adorable family. Matt & Marlene are the best parents in the world. I mean that. Their kids are so well-behaved […]

Andrew and Suz are some of our best friends in the world. We’ve photographed their wedding & engagements, and so many times in between, so by now they are familiar faces on the blog. They now have the most adorable little girl on the planet and are absolutely wonderful parents. We took a few photos […]

I am so, SO excited to finally share with you all what we’ve been working on for months! I was tired of the old blog, and wanted something that was more me. (More teal, I should say.) That’s when I  found Dawn, from Dawn Alderman designs– she did such a wonderful job and was so […]

Although we decided to no longer offer family sessions this year, we sold one styled, family session at our annual church box social. AND to make it even more fun, my in-laws bought it. 🙂 I wanted to make sure they had lots of pictures they loved,  so we broke it up into two different […]

While we are actually no longer offering family sessions, Jolyn had booked this back in 2012 already, and we are really glad she did! 🙂 This family is adorable. Jolyn has a real eye for detail, and her choice of color and outfits is always perfect. Their kiddos are so well-behaved and they are ALL […]

I have another beautiful family to share with you today… Stan and Jolyn are both some of the sweetest people I’ve met, and they have three adorable little kids who did such a wonderful job with pictures… You could tell their mommy is a photographer. Oh, and she’s got super fab style in pretty much […]

Even though I may not be quite caught up with blogging 2012 (they’re coming soon), I went ahead and picked out some of my absolute favorites of the year. It was super hard to only select one from each session; but here goes- starting with couples… Weddings… Seniors & Other Portraits… And Families… I’m so […]

They love each other. You can just tell. And we love them. Add to that the fact that they’re super fun with incredible style and my job becomes a piece of cake. Tina brought her guitar for a few individuals, but it was too perfect not to use for this family photo. Love it. Gorgeous, […]

Because Jere is a trucker and leaves for a few days at a time, we decided to try something that I hardly ever do and scheduled their family shoot for the morning. Then I promptly forgot. You can about imagine how horrified I was when Theresa called me from Rockford, and I was still at […]
