The Illusion of Busyness…
I was talking to my dear friend and fellow photographer, Sarah, as I so often do… And the topic of busy season came up. Every year the beginning of the year rolls in and business is slow… January, February… sometimes into March or April – the sessions only trickle in. And we photographers tend to …

The Smith Family Portraits | Decatur, IL
“It’s already been a year!” This was the subject to Sean’s email to me about scheduling their annual family portraits, and it definitely put a smile on my face.

Baby Journey Update: How We Told Our Parents…
I have been told… more than once… that I’m a very intentional person. And I’d never really thought about it, but that is true. If you were to walk into my home, you’ll see a painting I made that has two birds and a fiery sunset… to me it symbolizes the strength of our love …

Rocky Pezzelle Puppy Portraits
As many of you know – exactly a month ago my family lost a furry, four-legged member of their family. Ginger had been a part of our family for a very long time! We adopted her when I was a junior in high school, after my black lab, Shadow, died. She was a rescue dog …
