So this morning Ryan wakes me up at 6:30…still in his sweatpants and a t-shirt. “I need your help,” he says. So I get up and he tells me that the water isn’t working. He could hear water in the pipes when he tried turning on the faucet and he couldn’t find any leaks. So …

St. Teresa Anniversary Dinner Party | K of C Hall | Decatur, IL
I’ve been keeping in contact with some of former high school teachers from St. Teresa, and I recently was asked to by the even photographer for their Anniversary Dinner Party. This was the first official event I’ve photographed so it was a new experience for me, and it gave me a chance to focus on …
Catching Up
After my little trip up to Washington, IL, I feel like I’ve been running a 100 meter race to try and get caught back up on all the things I have going on here – both at work and at home. But I learned so much from the event that I feel like I ought …
Aaron & Kelly Wedding | Decatur, IL
I get to meet so many awesome people doing what I do for a living. I met Aaron at Staples actually. He’s been printing off some of my bills for me and other random little pieces that I needed last minute. One day when I brought in a new marketing piece he asked me if …
Amy & Tim Delaney Wedding | Allerton Park, Monticello, IL Wedding
It was a beautiful Friday morning, not a cloud in the sky. A beautiful glow of light radiated around the Sunken Gardens at Allerton Park. Amy & Tim didn’t want a big wedding. They wanted a very small, intimate wedding – the bride and groom, the minister, his wife, and the photographer. The service wasn’t …
A Hotel Room, a Live Event, and a Little Bit of Pride
It’s Sunday night. I’m on my own in a hotel room up in Washington, IL…two hours away from home, my puppy, and my hubby. This was not where I was expecting to be for the next three days, but I’m thrilled I’m here! A week or so ago, I entered into a drawing to win …
Blogging, Blogging, Blogging
I thought I would use today’s post to talk about this blog. I started this blog…oh…a while ago. To sort of provide a way for people (friends, family, clients) to see what is going on in the world of Stephanie & Ryan and my business Green Tree Media. You may have noticed I write about …
A new possibility…possibly.
I’ve been using blogger as my blog site for quite a long while now and have been thoroughly pleased with it’s simplicity and easy to manipulate design. But I thought I ought to give wordpress a chance since I’ve heard so many good things about it and it seems far easier to incorporate wordpress into …
John & Sara Engagement Session | Allerton Park, Monticello, IL
“It was at a party when we first met. We had several mutual friends and we went to the same high school…actually it’s strange we didn’t meet each other much sooner.” But what started out as seeing each other at a couple mutual friends’ parties, flourished into a wonderful relationship. Sara & John have been …
Angel & Charlie | Scoville Park | Decatur, IL
I was so excited when Amber gave me a call to see if I would take pictures of her adorable kids again this fall. Angel & Charlie are the best! I absolutely love these kids! They are such happy little children, and so eager to include me in their fun and play. I get excited …
