leaves and laughter | urbana family photographer

I had a great time meeting this family last week for a lively family photography session at Crystal Lake Park in Urbana – and when I say “lively” I mean “running-chasing-throwing-laughing-exploring-tickling-bubble-blowing-FUN!”   It’s probably an understatement to say that this kiddo keeps his parents on their toes, but I think they love it and wouldn’t have...

oh, those eyes… | champaign child photographer

This little guy and his mom graciously stopped by Bella Bambini last week for a quick modeling shoot, and Mr. D did fantastic!  Not only did he share lots of grins with me, he made it pretty clear that he’s going to melt a lot of hearts with those blue eyes throughout his life… starting...

feisty and fun | champaign children’s photographer

I had a great Bella Bambini modeling session with this wonderful girl last week, and I just had to share a few images with all of you.  It was a pleasure to finally meet Miss L., after I’ve heard so many good things about her over the years!  She was a fantastic model, and I...

tackle those leaves! | champaign family photographer

I just love the bright beautiful leaves in autumn, and especially tossing them in the air or jumping in big piles of leaves… so it was a special treat to watch this fella get his very first taste of all the fun things you can do with leaves!  He had a blast during his Sweet...

autumn kisses | champaign family photographer

Last Saturday turned out to be a great morning for Sweet Pea Photography mini-sessions, and the rain even waited until we were all finished.  Hooray! It was a treat to see this cutie pie again, and I think she’s gotten even cuter since her newborn session several months ago.  I love watching kids grow and...

hooray for sunshine! | farmer city family photographer

I had a wonderful SUNNY session with this family in Farmer City last weekend, after a cold rainy week of crossing our fingers and praying for sunshine!  I love it when prayers (even little ones about the weather) are answered!  Since it was still chilly, we decided to do the session at their home and...

too busy for bows | champaign child photographer

During a fun session a last week at the Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, this darling girl proved that bows are not necessary to be fashionable… especially when you’re a very busy one-year-old with places to go and things to see…  So, although she didn’t want to keep her lovely bow in her hair,...

free smiles… | chicagoland child photographer

As I was editing the rest of the images from the lollipop session tonight, I found myself smiling constantly. I mean NON-STOP. Ear. To. Ear. So… I decided to share some more smiles with you because, well, who wouldn’t be smiling constantly if they got to see these images all day long?! So I hope...

oh lolly, lolly, lolly… | urbana family photographer

I had a BLAST with this family a few weeks ago on a windy Friday in Urbana.  They made the drive to Urbana all the way from Downers Grove – thanks guys! – and I think it was totally worth it!  Not only were these kiddos fun (and wonderfully well-dressed – good job Mom!!), they...

sweet cheeks | central illinois newborn photographer

Ahhh…. sleeping babies.  I had the privilege of meeting this lovely lady and her parents just over a week ago in Hammond, Illinois. She was so cooperative during her newborn session, and the weather even cooperated with us (it rained so her daddy got to spend the morning with us instead of in the fields!). ...
