I am so excited to get to share this beautiful friend of mine with you today! Brittany is one of my former senior models, and she has graciously volunteered more than once now to help me with my personal work. The last time I worked with Brittany was when we were creating her Your Story …
St. Teresa Senior Yearbook Head Shots | Decatur IL
As many of you know, St. Teresa is my alma mater… I graduated from this school back in 2004. It’s strange being back in this place after all these years. I wish I could say that I was still doing all the photography for St. Teresa, but unfortunately, that is not the case. As of …

Train Tracks… Are They Worth the Risk?
We’ve all probably seen it: a photograph of senior sitting on a suitcase in the middle of train tracks, a couple kissing across between the rails, or a young family walking down the tracks.

Your Story Project: Rachel

Fire-versary… Five Years Later
It’s been five years since one of the most impactful events to our lives, a day I think I will remember with clarity until the day I die. It was 4:00 in the morning. Both Ryan and I were sound asleep. I was still half asleep when I heard what sounded like breaking glass. I …
Behind the Scenes: After the Session
We’ve had your consultation and we just finished all the fun of photographing your session! What happens next? I think it’s pretty common to think that the hard work is over and that after the session there isn’t much to do. But the truth is – a lot happens between the time we finish taking …
Erin’s Baby Shower
I had the great honor of being invited to my best friend’s baby shower this past weekend. I can be honest and admit that over the past seven years I’ve attended very few baby showers. With our struggle to have children they were just too difficult for me… they hurt too much. So rather than …
