New babies are so much fun, and when they’re welcomed home by excited siblings, that’s even better! I had lots of fun playing with this family at their home in Champaign a few weekends ago, as they celebrated the arrival of this sweet baby girl. Big brother and big sister love her to bits, and mom & dad are pretty smitten too! Thanks for letting me hang out with your family and capture some special moments for you. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek, and the rest of your proofs will be ready very soon! Remember to leave a comment here on the blog or on Facebook, because after 25 comments I’ll gift a 5×7 print to this lovely family!

It’s February, and love is in the air…. and I just LOVE capturing that feeling in an image! That’s why I’m excited to announce a special Valentine sale this month for all of you lovebirds out there…
2012 Valentine’s Day Beloved Sale!
Here’s the scoop… simply book a Beloved Couple Session in February, and receive a $100 print certificate AND two mini-accordion albums FREE! What’s a Beloved Couple Session you ask? Well, let me tell you! A Beloved Couple session is specially designed for couples, and gives you the unique opportunity to spend time with the love of your life, simply enjoying each other and reflecting on your relationship. During the session, I’ll guide you with some fun questions to think about – but mostly I’ll get out of the way and quietly capture your moments of real connection and love! The session will last about an hour and is very relaxed, laid back, and fun. The session fee ($500) includes a 6×6 album with 20 images from your session, and for this month only it also includes a $100 print certificate and 2 mini-accordion albums.
This paragraph is for the guys out there… (wives, go ahead and forward this to your hubbies… it’s info they really NEED to know, right?) Let’s be honest – I’ve been married for almost 12 years and I’m sure I’m like many of you – there aren’t many images of “just the two of us” other than our wedding day! And that’s just not right. If your spouse is your best friend, your partner in life, your most trusted ally… that is something truly special. Cherish it and capture it, so that your children and grandchildren will always remember it too! (Plus, I can promise you two things: 1 – your wife will LOVE this type of unique and meaningful Valentine’s gift much more than a box of chocolates, and 2 – I will make sure it won’t hurt one bit, and you’ll even have FUN!)
Just to tip the scales, here are some images from Beloved sessions I’ve done over the past year. When you’re ready to book your February session, just email or call and we’ll set it up!

The holiday break is over and I’m back! I’ve enjoyed the past few weeks away from Photoshop, but 2012 is here and I’m ready and rarin’ to go! The winter schedule is open, my first Sweet Pea Photography workshop is this weekend (only one spot still available, if you want to grab it!!) and the first few Beloved Family sessions of 2012 are under my belt. It’s going to be a great year, and I’m excited to spend it with your family!
It has been a while since I’ve photographed this family, and boy oh boy have these girls grown up! I love that during the first two years of your kiddos’ lives, as they physically grow and change so dramatically, I get to watch that process with sessions every 6 months or so. But, it’s also neat to see the dramatic cognitive changes that happen over the course of a year once they get older and our family sessions naturally spread out a bit… which has definitely been the case with these then-quiet-now-chatty girls! They talked my ears off with their sweet voices and funny stories, and I loved every minute of it. Thanks for a fun time at your new home in Mahomet on Saturday (can I please have your kitchen??) and I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks. As always – share them with your friends on Facebook because after 25 comments I’ll gift these girls a 5×7 print!
Yep, that’s right! Two super-exciting things! First, the Sweet Pea Photography winter schedule is now OPEN, with dates available in January, February, and March. Click on “session info > availability” above to see the current openings, then send me an email right away to request your session! Second, registration for the Beginning Photography class on Saturday, January 28th from 9am – noon is now OPEN! You will learn about basic lighting, locations, and composition to help you improve your photography skills, whether you got a fancy DSLR for Christmas or you’re just shooting with your iPhone! The class is $100 and will be limited to 12 participants, so click here to sign up now.
I’m looking forward to working with your family this year… 2012 is going to be great!
See? I warned you! So cute you can hardly stand it, right? I’m thankful that this sweet kiddo is the newest addition to a family that I love dearly, and I’m excited to watch him grow up. Congrats you guys, and thanks for letting me capture this exciting time for your family!
As a side note, the winter 2012 Sweet Pea Photography schedule will be opening up early next week!! If you aren’t on my email list and would like to be notified when the calendar opens, let me know and I’ll add you to the list. I’m excited about some fun things I have planned for this year, and I’m even more excited about spending time with families like yours!!
Today is this beautiful mom’s birthday!! She is a wonderful friend of mine, and I am so thankful she is in my life. Enjoy your day wonderful lady!
