I was so excited when I got the phone call from Lynnette about doing photos of her beautiful baby girl, Jolie. I drove out to their Mt. Pulaski home and met this sweet little lady and gorgeous momma for the first time. Jolie is such a baby doll of a little girl! She’s so precious! …
The Journal
An Obsession….
So I have this mild obsession with color…. feel free to blame college, I certainly do! When you spend an entire year studying the different variations of color from brightness and saturation to color partnerships and combining, it’s hard not to be really particular about colors. I know I can sometimes annoy Ryan because when …
2012 LSA Graduation | Decatur, IL | Event Photography
It’s been a couple weeks ago now that I was asked to come to the LSA Graduation to document the event! I’ll be honest – having never been to a LSA Graduation before and knowing the graduating class only had about 24 students I was expecting it to be a pretty small affair. I was …
Memorial Day – House Update
As it is Memorial Day weekend, Ryan has the day off and (surprisingly) so do I. So we’re spending the day of thanks and appreciation for military men and women working on insurance paperwork for the house. Yes… the house fire may have been over 7 months ago, but we’re still in the process of …
Phil & Kristi’s Wedding | Allerton Park, Monticello, IL | Wedding Photography
You may remember this gorgeous couple from their engagement session last year in May, and I had been looking forward to Phil & Kristi’s wedding day ever since! I just adore these two! They are such a sweet couple, and you’d have a hard time finding two people more head-over-heels for each other than these …

A Wedding, Some Insight, and a Pair of Heels
This past Saturday was a wonderful day! For the first time in a very long while Ryan and I attended a wedding. That’s right – we attended one and it was such a blast! I’ll be honest it was hard to keep my camera in it’s bag. Ryan actually refused to let me take it …
Charlie and Angel’s Mother’s Day Session | Spitler Woods | Children Photography
I’ve been waiting and waiting to share these pictures with you! Amber called me last month and told me she wanted to do a mother’s day session to get some gift products for herself and the kids grandmothers. (How sweet is that?) So we headed out to Spitler and took a few quick shots of …
Greater Decatur Duck Derby | Children’s Museum of Illinois | Event Photography

Love and Words for Mother’s Day
As I’m sure you are all aware – yesterday was Mother’s Day. Like many other son’s and daughter’s, we scheduled our day around visiting with Ryan’s mom and my mom. I consider myself very blessed to have such a wonderful mother! When I was growing up, I was a brainiac (always had my nose in …
