little and bigs | champaign family photographer

farm girl | urbana business portrait photographer

On first glace, she might not look like a farm girl, but Jennifer Shike is definitely a farm girl through and through! I had a great time helping her get some new business portraits a few weeks ago for an article that will appear in an upcoming issue of Seedstock Edge Magazine (the official publication...

sweet little guy | mahomet newborn photographer

I had a great time meeting this family a few weeks ago at their home in Mahomet — and with all the random connections and common friends we discovered we have, it’s actually a wonder that we’ve never met before!

dandelion puffs | monticello child photographer

One of the best things about childhood is the ability to find joy in dandelion puffs… blowing the white fluffy bits into the air… feeling the soft fuzz on your fingertips… it makes me wish that I never learned to view dandelions as weeds!  This darling girl was completely enthralled with the dandelions during her...

twins = twice the fun | champaign family photographer

Family sessions with twins are twice the fun… and also twice as busy!! These guys kept me on my toes, as they always do, and we had a great time exploring Lake of the Woods a few weeks ago.  It was a gorgeous spring day and they took full advantage of the nice weather to...

First birthday photography sessions are always so much fun! Whether the kiddo loves the cake or wants nothing to do with it, smash-the-cake sessions are sure to give mom and dad lots of laughs! This darling girl had a blast getting completely messy, and her parents and grandparents had a blast watching it happen.  Thanks...
