marilyn monroe, maybe? | illinois headshot photographer

We had to laugh during this beautiful actor’s headshot session, because a few of her shots were definitely reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe… no dresses flying up in the air, but the white halter was certainly sexy!  I hope you are thrilled with the final result of your session – I think they turned out fantastic!...

These gorgeous blue-eyed siblings were so much fun during their Sweet Pea Photography mini-session a few weeks ago!  It was a real pleasure meeting their family for the first time, and I think they had a fun time playing in the leaves at the U of I Arboretum — thanks for making the drive over...

girls and giggles | champaign-urbana family photographer

These gorgeous girls have only gotten prettier since their last session (last summer), and judging by how much they giggled and laughed and played throughout their mini-session, I think they simply love being sisters!

Whew!  Thankfully the weather was absolutely beautiful (and warm too!) and all of the families  were healthy and happy.  So over the next week or so, you’ll get to enjoy sneak peeks like...

a beautiful day in the neighborhood | champaign family photographer

Remember that song from Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood? “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor – would you be mine? Could you be mine?”  Well, it was certainly a beautiful day for our family photography session last Saturday, and although this family isn’t technically my neighbor – I feel like...
