An old high school friend contacted me 10 years later to photographer her beautiful family. It was so nice to catch up and capture her new life on camera! Talk about living the dream life with a beautiful family.

Gender Reveal – Decatur IL Photographer
May 3, 2012 By 1 Comment
I could not be more excited to share this. I experienced one of the happiest, funniest and most meaningful sessions ever tonight. I got to photograph a gender reveal!
This afternoon I was hand delivered an envelope after their doctors appointment with the precious announcement of their baby’s gender. Now mind you I was the only person (besides the doctor) in the whole world to know what this little baby to be was. Needless to say, I was dying to spill the beans, but I had to keep it a secret for three hours!
As I photographed, a dear friend video taped their reaction for them to share with their family immediately. Gotta love technology! We also were joined by close family and friends as they opened that trunk to reveal what gender will be joining their already amazing family.
Let’s get to the pictures
Congrats to their family… and cannot wait to meet her!
12-12-12 Project | April
April 12, 2012 By 1 Comment
I fell off the bandwagon in March… but I’m back! For those that have missed my other 12-12-12 project posts…. basically I post 12 pictures, on the 12th of the month… for 12 months (yeah yeah yeah… make that 11).
This month I captured all things Easter with my family. From dying eggs, playing outside and our most important our easter present…. a new puppy! Her name is Lucy, and she is a great addition to our family. My boys couldn’t love her more!
Make sure you check out my photografriend, , at to see her set for April!
Here are my boys dying eggs. Oliver wasn’t sure what to think. Cooper dived right in… and gave me that “not while I’m dying eggs” look when I was snapping pictures.
Here is Oliver playing outside. He loves exploring everything right now… it is so much fun to watch him learn the world.
For Easter we decided that we wanted a family pet. Ok, let’s be honest… I convinced my husband to get a puppy! Seriously, what was I thinking?!? It’s like my 3rd newborn in 3 years. But once again it has been worth it! Welcome to the family Lucy!
Here are our Easter Sunday best! The boys were “hunting” for eggs in our back yard… and I even got to be in some pictures with them! I have NO idea where Cooper gets his smile
I Heart Faces Challenge – April – Happiness
April 5, 2012 By 7 Comments
I’ve decided to jump on the “I Heart Faces.com” bandwagon and enter in one of my favorite photos for their theme Happiness. This is of my little guy Oliver, he was playing with the balloons from his birthday and the amount of joy on his face is priceless. It has been a hard milestone for me, I feel like he is growing too fast. But boy is he having fun doing it!
Home is where the heart is….

It was so great seeing this entire family (almost) back together. They were still missing an important piece, Adam, their 2nd oldest son that is serving in the Air Force so he could not be with them. But the smiles on their face for getting pictures with the newest addition to the family was priceless. I’m very happy to be able to capture such a memorable time in their lives.
Almost ready for baby!

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mama to be! Isn’t she glowing?? I don’t say that about many moms, but I really think she looks fabulous for being 30 weeks along! Cannot wait to meet their little guy in 10 weeks!
