Ummm, where did September go? It’s unbelievable that it’s already the first week of October, and my favorite month of the year has passed by! Now, onto my birthday month!  September brought a small bit of relaxation in the midst of busy season, and I am oh so thankful for that! Busy is good, but […]

Happy Monday to you! Last week, my husband, sister, brother-in-law, and I returned home from a magical trip to Walt Disney World! We all love Disney, especially my sister and brother-in-law because they first met while working there in college! We spent 6 days at the resort, parks, and Disney Springs, and we loved every […]

Hi! Happy Wedding Wednesday! This week, I’m sharing a glimpse into our honeymoon (almost two years ago now!) in hopes that it will spark your interest or excitement for your own honeymoon plans! Kyle and I were married on June 7, 2014 and chose to honeymoon in San Juan, Puerto Rico… It was truly amazing, […]

My second session was with the Ridgeway kids – Grace, Claire, and Joe – and they were a delight to work with! All three of them were welcoming, relaxed, and fun to be […]

Over the past few days, it is finally starting to feel and look like spring outside in central Illinois! Yay! Doesn’t it just make your heart happy? Last week, when the Illinois weather was still gloomy here, I traveled back to the Fairview and McKinney, Texas areas for a few sessions! It was the perfect time to get […]

Shortly after I arrived in Texas on the last weekend of February, Karla (see the Dingwerth family session here) and I set out to explore session locations around Fairview and McKinney, Texas. We enjoyed driving around for an hour or so, scoping out locations and planning details for her session and the Fluker family session! The […]

Last Monday, I returned home to Illinois from a trip that included both work and play! Just three years ago I met the Dingwerth family when they visited Illinois, and I was honored to photograph their kiddos back then.
