In honor of Good Friday today I wanted to post something to remind us of the meaning behind this season. I truly believe that Jesus is in all of us. That there is a part of His love, compassion and beauty in everyone. Sometimes people forget or they just don’t know Him yet, but buried …
The Journal
The Updated Website is Here!!!
Well it’s official! The new improved website is finally up and running, & I couldn’t be happier. If you haven’t been on my website very much, you may be wondering what I’m even talking about because the overall look of my site hasn’t really changed. I may be biased, but I love my branding so …
Through the Eyes of a Child
I love kids! I really do! I enjoy when I get to play with my dear friend, Amber’s, little guy & gal. (You’ve seen them many times here on my blog since I am luck enough to get to take pictures of them on a rather regular basis.) Kids are just so entertaining! They have …
Healthy Kick
This past Saturday I spent 13 hours helping the hubby lay three rooms of carpet and one room of vinyl. It was a long day, but it was so nice to be able to help him with his side job and to get to meet the wonderful family we were working for. But after the …
Light at the End of the Tunnel…
I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We’ve got 80% of our kitchen cabinets back together and almost all the doors are fully painted. So I’m optimistic that by the end of the week I’ll have the kitchen completely done (& then I can post pictures). Of course knowing …

Why Did I…?
A couple weeks ago, someone asked a question: “Why did you get into photography in the first place?” I thought it was an interesting question and one worth really thinking about. So I’ve been reminiscing and contemplating about where and why I started this crazy journey into creating my own photography business. So many photographers …
A Friday Update…
It’s Thursday night and I’m sitting in my living room trying to decide what to share with you. Sometimes it can be hard coming up with things to post on this little space amidst the enormity of the internet…especially when I’m in my slow season. But things are finally starting to pick up around here. …
Baby Everett’s Newborns | Decatur, IL | Newborn Photography
I was so excited last week because I was going to get to meet little baby Everett! I took maternity pictures of the little man’s mom and dad a month ago, and couldn’t have been happier to take his first professional pictures. Everyone knew Tiffany was going to have a big boy… She was all …
Greenville College Senior Boys Basketball Senior Night | Greenville, IL | Sports Photography
This year is my brother, Joel’s, senior year of college, and his last year playing basketball for Greenville College. You may remember me taking pictures of the senior boys a month or so ago for the fatheads they had made as their senior gift. Well Ryan and I headed to Greenville last week on Monday …
