Another Beautiful Wedding!!

How much fun can you have photographing a wedding? Well, let me tell you that it is possible to have so much fun that you forget you are working! This is Kasey and Heath, they are a cute young couple from our church who loved my work and hired me to be part of the fun! There were a few setbacks in getting them down the isle, like Heath completing Naval Basic training! Yup, that was a small hurdle but one that they plowed through like champs!! Congrats guys, you made it!! May you always be blessed by your union and remember my advice: Always kiss each other goodnight!!

The Kautz Family

This is my bloggy buddy Lin and her awesome family! They drove down from the burbs of Chicago to have me take these family photos for them! I am telling you that they are a riot to be around!! I had the best time and before you knew it we had over 90 photos and two hours were gone! Yup, we just walked, talked and posed!

This is lovely, Em and she was rockin' that teenage tude to perfection! How adorable is she?

This dude is Col and he was harder to make smile!! His mom told me to watch for the frown because the smile would follow and she was right!!

All Because Two People Fell In Love!

Here are a couple of shoots I did this week with some real cuties!! You may recognize these adorable twins from a family shoot I did a few weeks ago! Well, Mom called to book me just for the twins to see if they would cooperate better, and boy did they ever!




This is Avery and she is just 6 weeks old! She is my youngest client and I had the best time time with her! Kind of makes me want another one!! Only kind of!!

Brenda and Britt

Another wedding is all done and ready to share!! I have known the groom and his family for the past two years so it was an honor to be a part of their big day!! It was a little windy and a little cold but we managed! Here are some of my favs including this great new band "the Groomsmen"! LOL! Enjoy!

The Harden Family - Mattoon, IL Family Photographer

This is a really cute little family and I had the best time with them in their very own backyard!! The boys were fun and listened really well and were super photogenic to boot!! What more could I ask for?? Oh yeah, how about tossing a puppy into the mix!!

The Kelmel Family - Mattoon, IL Family Photographer

It was a super busy weekend for me that started off bright and early Saturday morning with this lovely family!! I had an awesome time just hanging with this crew which included Mom, Dad and 6 super fun kids! I had my work cut out for me but we got the job done and had fun all the while!!

Savanna Part 2 - Sullivan, Illinois Senior Portrait Photographer

This girl was crazy fun the first time so we decided to do a second shoot. We went to some new locations and tried some textures on for size. This girl was up for anything, including climbing the side of hill to sit on a fallen tree! We both lost our footing a couple of times! If it had not been so cold, she might have even gone it the water in her dress! I think she is a perfect candidate for a "trash the dress" session in the near future! OK, maybe when it gets warm again in say 7 months!!
