I’ve been a second shooter at a number of weddings now and was recently informed that I’m a pretty stellar second shooter. (In fact, I’m one local photographer’s first pick – which made me absolutely giddy.) I’m lucky to have Ryan as my second shooter for weddings which works out beautifully for me. We both …
The Journal
Kyle & Macky’s Maternity Session | Rock Springs Park | Maternity Photography
It absolutely made my day when Mackinzey called me about doing maternity photos for her and Kyle! You may remember this sweet couple from their wedding I shot last November. I was so giddy for these two and so thrilled to have them come back to me to document this new chapter in their lives! …
Our Intern, Nick, and Some Things He’s Learned…
Many of you may remember that this summer, I was lucky enough to have a young man from Millikin ask about interning with us this summer. He’s been a huge help and wonderful assistant for our team here at Green Tree Media. I’m trying to give him a well rounded experience this summer of all …
Some Thoughts this 4th of July
Last night, Ryan and I joined some of our dear friends at Fletcher Park in Mt. Zion to watch the fireworks. It was fun watching all the kids running around with glow sticks and other fun light up toys. Of course everyone was anxiously awaiting the beginning of the firework show and Ryan and I …
Cody & Breanna’s Wedding | Decatur, IL | Wedding Photography
I’m so excited to be sharing Cody & Breanna’s wedding with you today! This was a super fun wedding! It was a small and intimate affair that took place in Breanna’s parents’ backyard underneath a very cool tree next to a pond. We were lucky enough to have a little cooler weather on their big …
Ellen Devereux Senior Session | Rock Springs | High School Senior Photography

I’ll be honest I’m amazed by her phenomenal running ability in both Cross Country and Track and was so excited for her …
The Drive to Improve…
As someone who really loved school, one of the things I absolutely love about my job is the need to constantly push myself to learn new things. I firmly believe that in this industry, if you aren’t constantly working to improve upon yourself and your craft – you will not succeed. The photography industry is …
House Update: June 22, 2012
So today I had planned to show you Ellen’s senior photos, but we had to reschedule their viewing session due to a sudden trip they had to make. So instead I thought I’d give you a little update about the new house/studio space we’re working on. It’s been over 8 months since our house burned …
Giving Thanks…
Today’s post is a short one, but it’s what I’ve currently got on my mind. I can honestly say that nothing makes my day like a thank you card or a kind email from a client. We photographers invest a lot of ourselves into our job and our work. We work long hours and late …
Some Love for my Daddio :)
Well yesterday was a wonderful holiday – Father’s Day. That one day a year we set aside to really celebrate how wonderful our dads truly are. Like so many other sons and daughters, we scheduled our Sunday around visiting with both mine and Ryan’s dads. I honestly believe that I have the best dad in …
