Pretty little Princess.



I have been on a roll of photographing baby girls lately!! I LOVE it but, I'm sort of missing the boys though! Girls are fun to dress up for a session the possibilities are endless, they are starting to make really cute things for baby boys now, so they are fun too.




I couldn't wait ANY longer to bust into this session...I had to edit a few and blog them! It took some work to get her to be still enough for these, but once she did I just snapped away and got lots of amazing images!

Mom is going to have a tough time choosing the images to use for her announcement!

High School sweethearts to a family of 6!




Here is one of the many sessions that I had last week while visiting my family in Lexington, IL!

I went to High School with these two, they were actually H.S. sweethearts!! I still can't believe that they have four very cute little girls!

Summertime FUN!

The other day on Facebook my friend posted a bucket list that she created for her and her kids to do this summer. I thought this was a fabulous idea, so I decided to crate one for our family too! I always have good intentions to do fun things with the boys, but then finding the time or remembering what is was that we wanted to do and never end up doing anything! The boys are getting older and get bored easy now a days!






So this year we are going to stick to this list and cross them off as we go!



*I have a mommy bucket list too...it consists of organizing every room and closet, including the basement and the garage! Not nearly as much fun as the boys' list!!

Baby 'A' { 11 days new }


I LOVE newborns!!

This sweet little girl was just 4 lbs. making her the smallest baby I have ever photographed. Come to think of it, she was the smallest baby that I have ever even held! She was just so snuggly and sweet. I'm really super excited that I will be able to watch her grow over the next year since she is part of my 'Baby Plan'! So I'm sure that you will be seeing much of her in the future, YAY!

Enjoy the peek!

Growing my business by Facebook

For those of you who know me, you know that I love facebook! I have to say that over the last year my photography business has grown by leaps and bounds because of it! It it weren't for fb this client would have never found me....well it just would have taken her longer I guess!




I love to post sneak peeks from their session on there for my clients and they love it too! Their friends and family get to see them and then contact me for a session too! I'm grateful for this free advertisement!!








Enjoy this little sneak peek!
