My new 'STUDIO'

Today was a very exciting day for me!!

I had my first session in my home, using my new backdrop stand! It worked perfectly.

Thanks to my husband! :)

I hope to shoot many more sessions like this.

Let me know if you would like to be one of them!

Too bad this sweet little one didn't feel like smiling much for me....oh 2 year olds!!

They still turned out amazing.

Valentine's Day Special

Here are all the details of the Valentines Special that I will be hosting with Devin Noel Photography! Please let me know if you are interested so we can secure your spot!

Cookies and Milk

My little helper Brayden and I made homemade chocolate chip cookies today! He loves to cook and I love spending 'one on one' time with my sweet boy! I will be pretty sad when he goes off to Kindergarten in the fall. :(

Kaleb was pretty excited when he got home from school....no pictures of that, he inhaled them too quickly. LOL

On a Snowy Day

Since we are getting snow right now, I felt it only appropriate to post this collage I made of the boys a few weeks ago. I took these pictures over Christmas break while we were visiting my parents! My boys absolutely LOVE playing in the snow and are praying that we have a snow day tomorrow. I'm praying that we DON'T!! LOL

I'm sure that if we do I will be taking and posting more snow pictures tomorrow!!

Stay warm!

My new Backdrop

I have been wanting to have a place in my home where I could be able to take pictures in the chilly winter months.

Today that happened!!

My friend sent me a picture of a backdrop stand and I showed it to my husband, he went and looked up the dimensions online printed them off and said well lets go to Lowe's!!

I love my new backdrop that my sweet hubby made for me!! Thank you!

This will be the perfect set up for a newborn session, for a 1 year old birthday cake smash session, or a fun just because your child is cute session!

I took a few pictures of my little one to test it out!

(Don't mind that his outfit doesn't match the backdrop what so ever) LOL

It works great and I have MANY different fabric backgrounds to choose from!!

I am also hoping to add a rustic wood floor and a fun tile backdrop in the near future.

Project Life

I had the pleasure of giving back!

A few months ago I decided that I wanted to do something special for the girls at a local Maternity Home in O'Fallon, IL. I met Kristen when she came to speak at my women's Bible Study at our Church. She really touch my heart and I prayed that I could do something for her. I knew just what that was!

On an unseasonably warm day in December we did her maternity session and on New Year's Day I met her brand new handsome little guy! This sweet thing had a rough entrance into the world and had to stay 8 days in the NICU. He had the cord wrapped around his neck and wasn't breathing when he was born. He is doing great now and is just the sweetest thing ever!!

Thank you Kristen for this opportunity.

In home session
