Welcome

Maddie Sneak Peek | Galena Illinois Children Photographer

Wow, it's been HOW long since my lost post??!!  What can I say, except that it's been a wild and crazy summer.  To top it off I fractured my arm in July.  But I'm also happy to report that I'm 99% healed and able to lug my cameras around again.  Yea!   And, I'd like to take this time to publicly  thank my wonderful family for all their help.  I couldn't have done it without you guys!  You're the greatest!

I'd also like to say a quick thank you to Timi from Cinnamon Girl Studio for my new blog design.  I absolutely LOVE the new look and feel to it.  Thank you Timi, you were wonderful to work with!

And now onto the photos.  This is my sweet and adorable niece Maddie.  Her mom and I took her out to get some new photos last weekend.  She did everything I asked of her without hesitation (but I will say, Mom bribed her with a trip to the park afterwards!)  Enjoy your sneak peek!



Roddick sneak peek | Northern Illinois Children Photographer

Gosh, they just don't get any sweeter than these two siblings. So cute and growing like weeds! It's always a pleasure to photograph this family, sweet beyond words! Enjoy your sneak peek!




Spring has sprung in Illinois

The snow is long gone and warm weather is once again upon us! My daughter and grandkids were home just before Easter and we took them to Palisades for some photos. It felt soooo good to do pics again!

I will be posting my updated prices (and maybe even a special) so stay tuned. In the meantime, here are a few photos of the grandkids.





Mulholland Family | Sneak Peek

Well, we finally were able to do some fall-ish photos (leaves are long gone from the trees but I LOVE the long grass/weeds). This fun loving family really love their dirt bikes and quad so it was only natural they included them in the photos. Enjoy and I will have your gallery up soon!




Maddie | Summer's End

I've been super busy this last month and terrible about blogging. These photos of my sweet niece were taken the last weekend in September. Look how colorful the flowers were! Oh yeah, and it was still warm!




Green family | Sneak Peek

Denise wanted family photos of the whole gang and her wonderful children and grandchildren made sure it happened! How precious is that?!! I hope everyone had a great time, I know I sure did! Enjoy!








Valerie and Brandon Wedding | Sneak Peek

I had the honor of photographing Val and Brandon's wedding on Sept 12. I knew when I did their engagement session that they would make a stunning bride and groom and I WAS RIGHT! They were off the charts gorgeous! Thank you both for trusting me to capture your once in a lifetime memories.
