This darling farm girl was born during harvest season last year, and another harvest will be here soon (I hear it’s going to be fast and furious this year – so stay safe out there in the fields, all you farmers!!)… which means the year has flown by and I can’t believe she’s almost one already! Her mom is a smart gal and knew that once the combines are in the field, it would tough to do a family photography session – so she scheduled this birthday session a little early. We had fun exploring their family farm and checking on the corn, and even had time for some games of peek-a-book (which produced the awesome laughter in that last shot!)

beautiful girls | champaign family photographer
I’m not sure why, but every time I look through the images from this family photography session, the song “Beautiful Girls” from the musical Singin’ in the Rain starts playing in my mind… perhaps because these girls are simply beautiful?! But don’t let their beauty (and super-cute dresses!) fool you – these girls were all about climbing trees and running through the park! I had a great time at their session in Champaign-Urbana last weekend, and I hope you enjoy this sneak peek! Remember to leave a comment below – here on the blog – and after 25 comments I’ll gift this family a 5×7 print.
August 29, 2010 - 12:22 pm - These are gorgeous - thank you so much Allyson! We can't wait to see the rest!
August 29, 2010 - 10:23 pm - These are so precious!!!! Great job on the pictures, and capturing the girls' different personalities! Can't wait to see the rest of them!

August 31, 2010 - 3:01 pm - Amazing pictures! That many beautiful people in one family is downright criminal :)

August 31, 2010 - 8:53 pm - Such beautiful girls!! I see them breaking a lot of hearts in the future =)

a different perspective | mahomet children’s photogapher
Ever wonder what it feels like to be a flower, right before a beautiful little girl plucks you from the soil? I think it might be something like this…
I had a wonderful time with this sweet birthday girl at her session last week in Mahomet. It’s hard to believe that she’s already one year old (and knows words like “whale” and “penguin”? Seriously – what a smart little girl!!) Thanks for a fun Sweet Pea Photography session, and I hope you enjoy this sneak peek! Remember to leave a comment here on the blog… after 25 comments, I’ll gift this sweetie a 5×7 print!
August 29, 2010 - 9:40 pm - LOVE the eyelashes - can't wait to see alot more pictures!! :)
August 30, 2010 - 5:49 am - Aww, such a doll!!!!!
sweet days of summer | sadorus child photographer
What gorgeous kids, what cute smiles, what a beautiful evening for a photography session… These kiddos have been coming to Sweet Pea Photography since they were born, and I’m so glad to have the opportunity to watch them grow up. I hope you guys had fun on your vacation last week!
August 26, 2010 - 11:18 pm - These are beautiful Allyson! I love watching them grow up through your lens.
(my) models | savoy child photographer
Just a few more of my girls from a recent commercial shoot for Bella Bambini… golly, I love them…
lovely models | champaign commercial photographer
These girls were great models at a quick shoot last week for Bella Bambini – and if you like what they’re wearing, you really need to stop by the store on Neil St. and check out the new fall lines! Simply beautiful clothing for children!
sweet sisters | savoy child photographer
Summer is winding down and school starts in less than one week for these girls (eek!)… where has the time gone?! A few housekeeping items today…
1) I’m putting together my fall schedule, and will be opening up sessions in a few weeks – probably around September 1 – so if you’d like to be notified when that happens, simply submit a contact form (click “contact” just above here) and I’ll add you to my email list!
2) If you’re a fan of Sweet Pea Photography on Facebook, you’ve probably already seen the news that there are some big changes coming this fall… changes with 4 walls and a door in downtown Urbana… so check back here for some pictures as this project develops over the next few weeks!! (And if you’re not a fan yet, become one today!)
3) If you like the outfits that my girls are wearing, stop by Bella Bambini on Neil St. today — lots of new fall clothes are in, and the Illinois tax-free holiday lasts through this weekend I think!
Have a great weekend everyone!
August 17, 2010 - 12:19 pm - I definitley need this one for the photo wall at school!
(my) family fun | savoy family photographer
Just a few quick shots from our family’s vacation to New Brunswick, Canada in July to visit Sky’s grandmother at her cute little summer home. We all had a relaxing week, and I used it as an opportunity to practice shooting from the hip – literally. It can be fun to shoot without looking through the viewfinder, especially because the images you capture are often at an interesting angle and catch the subject in a more natural way… here are just a few of my favorites…
August 3, 2010 - 12:09 pm - Those last two really show how much each of your girls looks like each of you. It's just amazing to me how that happens.
August 5, 2010 - 9:52 pm - Would love to see more!
August 8, 2010 - 2:59 pm - Just can't get enough of seeing those girls! Love 'em both!
bubbly blonde | champaign family photographer
I’ve had the privilege of photographing this beautiful and bubbly blonde little girl for the past two years, and I must say… I think this session was the most fun we’ve had yet! The bubbles were a big hit, and then we moved over to the slide, then the climbing wall, then snacks, then hide & seek, then jumping on the bed… whew! I’m getting tired just thinking about it! Thanks for an awesome family photography session last week, and I’m already looking forward to the arrival of your newest addition – so we can start the fun all over again. Remember to leave a comment here on the blog, so I can gift this great family a 5×7 print after 25 comments!
July 25, 2010 - 12:20 pm - So sweet! Beautiful family!
July 25, 2010 - 1:13 pm - You look great! Avery is so big.
July 26, 2010 - 6:16 am - Great pictures--beautiful and precious 2 year old. We love her so much.

July 26, 2010 - 9:42 am - What a gorgeous family!
July 26, 2010 - 10:05 am - More mystified by the bubbles, Brian or Avery?
July 26, 2010 - 10:21 am - Avery is such a fun girl--these pictures really capture her personality!
July 26, 2010 - 11:40 am - These pictures are beautiful! Avery is so cute!
July 26, 2010 - 2:18 pm - I'm pretty certain she is thinking of David ... that is why she's smiling so big.
July 26, 2010 - 10:09 pm - Thanks, Allyson, for doing another great job!
July 27, 2010 - 1:56 pm - I second Jana's comment. Do you think David would fly to IL for some David and Avery pics:) Adorable, Molly!
July 29, 2010 - 1:14 pm - Beautiful pictures!!
July 29, 2010 - 6:06 pm - Molly, she's adorable!!
August 3, 2010 - 6:29 am - Gorgeous pictures! Hard to pick a favorite - what a cutie!
popsicles please! | champaign family photographer
Have I mentioned that it was HOT last Saturday? Well, this family didn’t let a little heat spoil their fun! No way… they simply beat the heat with popsicles!! Yum, yum, yum! I just have to say – I love relaxed family photography sessions like this one, where your family can just hang out and enjoy being together, and I get the fun job of capturing images that show your love for one another. Now that’s a treat. Thanks for another great time with your family, and I hope you like this sneak peek even more than those tasty popsicles… if you do, then leave a comment here on the blog because after 25, I’ll gift this family a 5×7 print!
July 24, 2010 - 6:02 am - Thanks Allyson! Amazing work, as usual, can't wait to see the rest!
