Recent sessions

I recently held a neighborhood session (well, two, actually) in my backyard--featuring the red sofa and a new orange chair. Between the two sessions, I photographed 23 neighborhood kids. The sessions are short, but we manage to fire off lots of pics with some nice variety and really cute expressions!

Long Time No See

Ok, ok, I admit it's difficult to keep up with my blog on top of photographing, editing, and client slideshow viewings! Aaaahhh! Not to mention that I'm more of a visual person rather than a writer, so I actually post images regularly on Facebook (hint hint). If you haven't seen my Inspirations Photography page on Facebook, please feel free to visit there and "Like" it =) You'll be able to see much more of my work on a timlier basis! However, for now, I am posting some of my recent faves since I'm already here typing this, anyway ;) Hope everyone is having a GREAT summer! NOTE: If you want to schedule photos this fall for Christmas cards, fall color, etc., please call soon to book your appointment!! Saturdays, especially, go FAST!

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!
