Time to Update (Massive)

For some odd reason, this blog gets neglected very badly!  I am sad that it goes on the back burner but I am ready to catch up and stay caught up (I hope)!  Here we go:

This little beauty was from a BIG family shoot that I did!  She was adorable and super cooperative!

Caleb and Mom and Dad have been coming to me for three years now!  Wow, time is flying!  Every year I have to try to out do myself with the location!  He is a fun guy!

 

 This is the Deep Water Band!  They are a group of talented guys who recently went to Nashville to record their first album!  I am honored to have had to opportunity to sing with this wonderful group of musicians!

Drake and Laney are so adorable!  He recently turned 1 and she turned 9.  This is the second session with Drake and my third with big sis!  I love watching them grow!  

The Haney family was so much fun to work with!  The kids were full of energy and very willing to pose!  We had a great time together!

Jamie & Jason were just married on May 7th!  It was a small intimate ceremony and reception!  Everything was beautiful!

 

 Morgan and Luke:  Big sis, Morgan had to get in on  the action when I did a newborn shoot for 5 day old little brother!  Can you tell she really loves him?

 

 MHS Winterguard:  These are a talented group and I am not just saying that because the Moody Teen was part of the group!

 

 The Morton Family:  We originally planned to do a snowy shoot last December, however, it turned into a blizzard so we postponed it until spring.  The little guys were a big help and I even let them take a few shots themselves!  Maybe a couple of future photographers!

Ryan & Anna:  I have done Ryan's family photos for the past couple of years and this year his Mom wanted me to do a Prom shoot for them!  Ryan is a Junior at my alma mater!

 

 Here is the beautiful Sarah!  She is one of the models for my Beautiful You campaign designed for women of all ages!

 The Smith Family:  this crew was so much fun!!  The twins kept me on my toes and big brother was my little model!

 

 The T & T Twins:  10 days old and so adorable!  I love these two little guys!

 

 Zach & Leslie:  My son and his bestie all dressed up for Senior Prom!  Wow, the last dance of their High School careers!

I think that's a wrap for this long catch up session!  I promise to do better in the near future and get sessions blogged in a more timely manner (I hope)!

One FUN Family - Arcola, IL Engagement Photographer

OK, so I had already been booked to photograph this lovely couples wedding but she called me to ask if I would do and engagement/family session.  Of course, I said yes and that led me to a fire station and a lake to spend time getting to know this fun family!  They are from my hometown but they are MUCH younger than me!!  Ha!  Can you guess which team they root for?

The following photos are a surprise for their dad for Father's Day!  He is the fire chief in Arcola so we started out at the fire station!!

Then there is this little guy who is trying to fill grandpa's boots!  Pretty big boots to fill if you ask me!  He was so adorable!!

The Bales Family - Arcola, IL Children and Family Photographer

These two beauties were double the fun for this shoot! So adorable and eager to pose for me when I asked!!

Here is the whole family!!  These are the seats at the ball field of Lake Land College and Dad just happened to play ball here a couple of years ago!!

We were behind the college on a weekend so there was no traffic!  The kids were excited to sit in the road and pose for me!!  I made sure they knew NEVER to do this under normal circumstances!!  LOL!

I really like the construction of this very cool bridge!  It made the perfect spot to capture these awesome kids!!  Yes, I had to get down on my belly to get the shot!!  LOL!  It was very easy to get down but oh so hard to get back up!!

Well, that wraps up this update!!  If you are in need of a photographer just go to my contact tab and shoot me an email!  Have camera, will travel!!
