Tina and Chris

Ok, since I don't do weddings normally (unless I'm second camera), I don't usually get the pleasure of doing engagement photos. Well, thanks to a dear friend (you know who you are), I had a new client call me and ask for a photo session to celebrate their engagement.

Well, we did studio photos and had a great time, then headed downtown for an even BETTER time! These peeps were SO fun and open to so many ideas...I could have photographed until the sun went down. You can see the laughter in many of the photos...this was geniune, they laugh a lot and you can just tell they are so in love! I even thought we might get arrested a few times downtown because they are not shy when it comes to PDA (heehee, just kidding!! After all, I WAS encouraging them =). So, I had to share some of my faves here...enjoy! Thanks you two...what a blast!

My Rockford Family!

Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting a brand new client from Rockford. They asked me to come up to Rockford to photograph them by the dam...I'm SO glad I did because I had no idea how beautiful it was up there! We had a perfect day, and it was a perfect family...they were adorable and SOO nice!! Thanks, guys, we really enjoyed our session with you!

Cameron

Had an exciting session downtown with Cameron...just getting around to posting some fun pics now! Check out the one with the train coming up behind him...we had to run to the track to catch that one, and I think he was just a little nervous as it was coming up on us!! But I'm so glad we did it, and I hope you are, too, Cameron!! I love it =)

Taylor's 3 Year Pics

Taylor came all the way from St. Louis to visit Grandma and Grandpa this month. She came and visited me while she was in town and we got these awesome shots!! I LOVE the tutu/boot combo--great pick, Mom! Enjoy!

Little Collin

This little guy was born at the beginning of June. He was about 9 days old when we photographed him. He and his parents are adorable and great to work with! I love photographing newborns...they are precious little angels. And Dad gave me the opportunity to play with my "Father Figure" concept where he holds the baby over his head. We practiced a LOT with a stuffed racoon first before we brought Collin onto the scene =) Enjoy the pics!
