  • Welcome!!

    So glad you're here! I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 18 years and we have two beautiful daughters, ages 13 and 15. I attended Columbia College and received a degree in Graphic Design. I worked as a graphic design manager for 7 years at the Illinois CPA Society where I designed their Magazine INSIGHT. My love for photography was always there but had to wait...

    On April 28, 2008 my daughter who was then almost 3 was diagnosed with ALL a form of Leukemia. As you can imagine that was a life changing moment to say the least. Through all the tears and heartache of watching your daughter go through intense chemotherapy and missing out on so many things—I have learned to treasure memories even more then ever. I just love
    taking precious pictures of children and families—the idea that these pictures will be looked
    at for generations to come is such an honor to me!!

    So here I am doing something I LOVE—capturing beautiful moments!

How can you not have a smile on your face when looking at this little cutie???

In my {free time}  bahahahahaha~ I’m gearing up for an AMAZING fall and holiday season!!!! Yippee!!!
I ordered a ton of new backdrops and props and can’t wait to reveal them when completed!!!! This season I have added another tree farm session day!! They were awesome last year!!!
And then I will also have an indoor studio mini session day~ good for those little ones that aren’t ready for outside pictures yet and those looking for a {fancier} type holiday session. Below are those dates!
