I've been waiting for this wedding for over a year! Jennifer is my husband's cousin and the entire family has been anticipating this day! Everything about this wedding was gorgeous. The dress, the colors, the details, and of course, the couple! I had a great time shooting this wedding and I was so glad to be a part of their day. My daughter, Ava had a blast dancing with every random person she

Hooray!! We finally got Ava's 4 year old pics done! And they turned out so cute! She was so excited to do these, and we've been waiting for the perfect day. Today was it! I'm going to overload you a bit though. You know you love it.

Lily turned 3 months today, so I decided to do her 3 month shots in between the craziness that was my day. It was actually my first real shoot with her, her newborn pictures were actually done by Bella Baby Photography right at the hospital. She did so well and we had so much fun! She is such a sweet little baby. She just talked to me and stared at the big lens in front of her- like she usually

Jasmin and Jimmy booked me for their wedding on December 26th of this year. Well, sometimes plans change and Jasmin needed to fly her mom in from Germany now, not in December. So, a few weeks ago, Jasmin called me hoping I was available for May 16. Normally, May is my busiest month. But lucky for them, I had nothing on my calendar because of my maternity leave! Jasmin did a great job putting

These two are so much fun and I cannot wait to shoot their wedding! This was my first location shoot since having my daughter Lily, so it was fun to get out. I drove down to Champaign/Urbana for their engagement pictures and I was a little worried about the weather. The clouds were thick and ominous and it was nice and windy. Lucky for us though, the clouds broke through just in time for our

I drove to Chicago this morning to do a sitting with a newborn baby, Matthew, and his sister, Elsie. Matthew was born around the same time that my daughter, Lily was born. Mom was nice enough to let me bring Lily along for the shoot and she was a perfect little angel, sleeping through the whole sitting! Matthew is just adorable with his head full of hair and his big beautiful eyes! And Elsie is

A couple of days after Christmas, I had the pleasure of photographing Kelly and David's wedding. My sister and assistant photographer, Jessica Bensema came along with me. She was such a big help with me being 7 months pregnant! This is my last wedding until June, so it was nice to be able to finish out the year with such a fun wedding! Kelly and David are so adorable together, and they have such

Merry Christmas!! I wanted to get out pictures done for our Christmas cards this year, so we set up in the living room and took some shots. Ava did a great job and she had fun to boot! I even got Samson and Leo in on it! I wasn't too happy with my pictures, but that's why I stay behind the lens usually. Maybe I'll treat myself to a family shoot/maternity shoot from another photographer before

My brother's family and mine went down (they came up) to Rantoul, IL to the Reindeer Ranch for some Christmas pictures for their kids. I don't get to see them often, so I usually jump at the chance to meet for whatever reason. Ava loves spending time with her cousins, so it makes for a nice day vacation almost. So we fed some reindeer, took some pictures, let the kids play and had some dinner

Nicole is the sister of the groom of my very first wedding, Brian and Kelly. Kelly is also her best friend and maid of honor. So it was really great to see them! Nicole had a gorgeous dress and John looked fantastic in his kilt. I really love their treble and base tattoos- what a cute idea!

Kristin & Jon are friends with Brenda and Rich, who's wedding I did back in May. Jon and Rich were each other's best men. We had a gorgeous sunset for the bridal party pictures! Thanks Jon for suggesting that we take them before the family pictures. I forget how fast that sun goes down in the fall. It made for some really gorgeous pictures!

Happy Halloween! Ava was Dorothy for Halloween and she just picked up the part and ran with it! Or, skipped down the yellow brick road with it. This year she needed no coaxing to knock on those doors and ask for candy. She really did a great job. She even used her please and thank you's! She needed some help with some of the high doorbells, but other than that, she was all over it! I may be

I really had a hard time only picking a few of the pictures from this wedding. Kristen & Chris (a.k.a Skip) are such an adorable couple! I don't think the smiles left their faces. Except maybe when Kristen was saying her vows. It was so cold for the bridal party pictures at Lake Katherine, but we pulled it off and no one looks cold! Thanks for a great day!

I love the Bennett Curtis House! I was married here and this is the second wedding I've shot here. I went to high school with Julie, and I did her cousin's wedding earlier this year. So I was pretty excited to do this wedding. The sun was pretty brutal and it was extremely hot that day, so it made things a little difficult post production. But I'm glad everything turned out beautiful. Thanks for

Stephanie worked with my sister, so when she and Joe were looking for a photographer, my sister recommended me. I love the bridesmaids dresses! And with the red flowers, everything looked so classy. It was nice to be able to visit with my sister at the reception as well. Thanks for recommending me Fran!

We took a weekend trip down to St. Louis to visit some friends. We had a great time! I haven't been to St. Louis since I was a kid and Todd had never been. I even built up the courage to ride in the washing machines of death up to the top of the Arch! It wasn't so bad up there. Ava didn't seem to mind! The food was pretty good, but they I don't think they have one hot dog or pizza joint in the

My husband's cousin, Jeff and his wife Renee contacted me to take pictures of their family. We took Ava and Todd and I drove out to a beautiful nature reserve out in Loves Park. I had a great time, Olivia, the little one was a little hard, but that's the age. She actually did very well compared to most her age. You just have to work on her time. We eventually got some great smiles out of her in

My best friend wanted to get some pictures of her boys, Tylor and Gavin, so we drove around searching for a great spot. We found this animal clinic not to far from where we live and it was the most striking red on the outside. Plus, they had a field in the back to let the kids run in. So, after asking permission to use their land, we took about an hour and let them run around. Ava, of course,

We went to the apple orchard a couple of days this week and we had a blast! The first day I got Ava all dressed up for pictures there, and then forgot my camera. Pregnancy brain is great. So I had to settle for pics when we got home. But I took some a few days later when we went. This was the first time for all of us to go to an apple orchard, and it was just great! The apples were beyond

What a gorgeous day! The September sun, however can be a bit harsh. When that sun begins to set, the skies can be beautiful, but if you are driving or pointing a camera, it can be difficult to say the least. I'm so glad everything turned out great! Just a few squinting eyes. The setting was so beautiful and the reception was fantastic. I just loved Laura's dress! I've seen the pickups on the

This is, I believe, the 5th wedding among a group of friends that have been passing me around. I love this group! They are always so much fun to be around and the receptions are always a blast, even if I'm working! I loved the colors in this wedding, the flowers were just gorgeous. Thanks for letting me be a part of another wedding! Oh, and thanks for putting up with my pregnancy brain and

My very first Jewish ceremony! I was so excited to shoot this wedding! It was so interesting to learn all the customs and traditions. Everything was so beautiful and the merging of two different cultures, Jewish and Mexican, was a joy to experience. I loved Karen's dresses! She is a fashion designer and she made both of her dresses. She looked gorgeous!I love this- both mother and daughter's

Karen & Bert contacted me a couple months before their wedding, and I was so happy to have the date open! They've already been married for about a year and a half, but they wanted to have the whole experience. So, today we went down to the park near their apartment in Chicago and walked around for their engagement pictures. I had a great time getting to know them and I'm really excited to shoot

One of my best friend's sister just had twin girls and I got to shoot my very first twin sitting! They were preemies, as most twins are, so we had to wait a few weeks for them to come home. They were so good and they put up with my constant posing. They're beautiful Julia, congratulations! Welcome home Kayla & Zoey!This has got to be my favorite.

A much needed vacation! My family on my mom's side (most of us, anyway) went down to Santa Claus, IN for a camping trip. We had a great time! Camping, S'mores, spelunking, white water rafting, and a pretty great theme park and water park! We already picked out a prime camping spot to go again next year. Maybe we can get everyone in on it! I can't wait!Ava clung to Lisa, my brother's girlfriend

My sister, Jessica wanted to get some pictures taken of her daughter for her 18 month milestone and get some pictures of her family too. So we decided to head to the beach. It wasn't exactly warm enough to go in the water, but the blue sky and sandy beach almost made it look like we live in California. Todd and I decided to take advantage of it and get our very first family pictures taken as well

I've known Brenda and her family for as long as I can remember. We grew up in the same church and we went to the same high school. So when she got in touch with me and asked me to be her photographer for her wedding, I was overjoyed- for her and to do her wedding. It was such a gorgeous day and the ceremony was held in Brenda's parent's backyard- what a beautiful site! Brenda and Rich make such a

I told you we'd be back! I decided to take Ava back to the nature preserve for her 3 year old pictures. I invited my best friend, Melaina to bring her son along because his 4th birthday is a week before Ava's and I thought it might be nice to get their pictures together. They're as best friends as a 3 and 4 year old can be, so why not? I didn't want the typical posed pictures this year and I

Finally we have some decent weather! My girlfriend told me about a nature preserve nearby (been here 5 years and I had no idea!) so Todd and I decided to take Ava for a walk to check it out. We had a great time and I think we'll be making this a regular hang out this summer. Ava loved it, she was so interested in everything! We walked for about a mile and I think Ava would have walked the entire

Kari and John had a beautiful day for their wedding today. A little cool and windy, but much better than most of the weather we've been having lately! They were married in a beautiful little church and the reception was at the Walter Payton Roundhouse. Brewrey, museum, gardens, and reception hall, all in one. What a fantastic place!A few extra hands to figure out Kari's beautiful dress.Quite the

Dan and Carrie were such a great couple to work with! They were both so laid back and sweet, I was so happy to shoot their wedding! The colors were just amazing and Carrie's dress was just gorgeous! I had a great time! My first Little People show! They were hilarious!How cute is this?

What a perfect day! We've had so much cold and rain lately it's been rediculous! But Michelle and Scott picked the perfect day for their wedding. Warm and sunny! My sister Jessica came along with me on this wedding and we were shutterbugs, so it was hard picking out just a few. Michelle made such a beautiful bride and Scott was just as handsome.All that beautiful red hair!! Sneaking in some chat

Ava did a great job with the easter egg hunt this morning! She kept asking us to hide them again for her after the Easter Bunny already did. After that we went up north to Todd's grandmother's home for Easter dinner & we had a great time! Ava of course flirted with all the guys and had them chasing her around the house! We're in trouble with this one! "You go hide the eggs! I counting!" Cracking

I love this group of people!! This is the third wedding I have done with the same group of friends surrounding the couple, and I have another coming up soon. They are so much fun and they really make me feel a part of their group, which makes for fantastic pictures. I love the colors Kate and Tom picked out and Kate's dress was gorgeous! Love the dresses!! Mom giving Kate a kiss. All the girls

Alexis contacted me through my sister when she was pregnant with her daughter, Daviana. Well, now Alexis and David are adding another baby girl to their family! Thank you so much for contacting me again Alexis! You have such a beautiful family!Daviana being absolutely adorable!

So I might be biased, but I truly think my daughter is the cutest thing on the planet. Her hair is nothing like mine though and so I find myself having fun with her hair more than mine. I've never put her hair in little pigtail braids before, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Well...yea. She IS the cutest thing on the planet.

I met Amy quite a while ago when I found out she used to babysit for my husband and his brothers when they were growing up. So, when she contacted me to photograph her daughter and her cousin's, I was exctatic! Madison is just gorgeous and she's already a little camera ham! I love the dresses you picked out Amy!

We bought Ava her first pair of skates today. She was so excited to go out! We let her go around the livingroom a bit to get a feel for them, and she was doing great! It wasn't until she got out on the pavement when she decided it was a little too much for her. Todd, who is a great rollerblader, took her around a few laps until she decided to call it quits. At least I got pictures to prove she

My first wedding of the year was a great one! This couple was so much fun to work with. They met on match.com and they love to tell that story! So many of the couples I meet have met online! I fell in love with Jeanna's dress immediately! She really loved the black and white pictures with the red accents splashed in, so there were a lot of those for her. Thanks for a beautiful first wedding of

I was so happy when Kara called me to shoot her maternity pictures. Kara and Mike needed their pictures in a hurry because Kara's shower was in a week, and I was happy to oblige. Kara and Mike are so very much in love and excited to meet their baby boy, Cole, and it shows in their photographs. Thanks so much for getting in touch with me Kara! I can't wait to meet Cole!

Since I don't have any weddings until the middle of Febuary and the winter snow is piling up daily, Todd and I decided to take advantage of it all and take Ava outside last month to have some fun. She's very cautious with everything, and snow is no exception. She likes to move it around and throw it at you, but do NOT throw snow at her and she does NOT want to sit in it or use that "fun"
