giggles and grins | champaign children’s photographer

This little man was full of smiles for his Sweet Pea Photography session last week, and I loved every one of them!  His family fondly calls him “the former gov’ner” – and I’m not surprised because don’t you just love that full head of hair??!  I would love to have hair that thick and gorgeous! ...

the perfect pair | central illinois family photographer

Clients often ask me what I think is their best option when choosing which products to order from their session.  So, here’s what I think is the perfect pair… the 9×9 session album and a digital collection!  I’ve raved about the session album before, and I’ll say it again – the flush-mount, lay-flat, digital-mat album...

family fun | urbana family photographer

Last weekend, I had a fun Easter weekend session with this great family over at the U of I Arboretum.  I haven’t had many opportunities to work with groups this large (especially with 5 kids under the age of 3!!), and it really went well! Despite the windy, chilly morning (you wouldn’t have guessed that...

I just wanted to take a second to show off one of the bonus boutique items that a client recently chose… isn’t this the sweetest little purse?  I think this clutch is the perfect size for a night out or even a quick trip to the mall.  I’m not usually a purse-carrying person (usually I...
