The Perfect Fall Day {Belleville, IL Photographer}
Posted on October 22, 2010
I don’t think that we could have ordered more perfect weather for this session. Perfect temperature, perfect leaves, perfect light. Ooh it was fabulous. On top of the perfect weather, I got to photograph this wonderful family. They were so much fun and the beautiful sisters were adorable with each other. Yeah, it was all just perfect!
I can’t wait to show you the rest S Family!

I Love A Challenge {Edwardsville, IL Photographer}
Posted on October 14, 2010
Part of the reason that I work On-Location is that I love the challenge that comes from shooting in different places all the time. What will the weather be like? Is there nice light there? What do the surroundings look like? It is kind of exciting to go some place new and then make it work to create beautiful portraits of my clients. I met this great family at SIUE. I’ve never been to the campus before, but heard it was lovely. I was thrilled when I arrived. It was just perfect!
The new location wasn’t the only challenge during this session though. Someone (and I’m not naming names) did NOT want to be photographed. I believe that he/she had full intentions of not smiling, not having fun, and not participating in the least. But in the end, we all had a great time. We all laughed and played and even smiled.
Enjoy your preview B Family!

The Greatest Compliment {O’Fallon IL Photographer}
Posted on June 7, 2010
I always swell with pride when my clients exclaim “This was so much fun!” at the end of their session. Beautiful, natural, and genuine portraits are definitely my style and my goal for every family. But, more than that I truly want the experience of having those portraits made to be a fond family memory.
This family gave me just that compliment at the end of our session. It really was a good time. I loved getting to know them and watching them together. They are just lovely people and all adore each other.
N. Family – thank you so much for a lovely evening and for the wonderful compliment!
