Welcome to my blog!

Hey! Thanks for coming to my blog! If you're here as a bride or groom, I hope you like what you see. I'd love to meet with you in person to talk about your wedding day and how I can help you. I love photographing weddings and hope that shows in my work!

Things I love: the Illini, the color orange, lobsters, my husband, my son, weddings, my Nikon D700, socks, my dogs, Johnny Cash, American Idol, my iMac, The Sound of Music, Hereford cattle, a pair of good-fitting jeans, the Food Network, & macaroni and cheese (and my Grandma Hazel wants me to add her in here too).

Max at 6 months | Savoy child photographer

Posted in Babies, Children 1 comment

I can’t believe that little Max is already 6 months old! He was born on April 30 and you can see his newborn session back in this post. His big sister Lydia is soon to be 3, so we also snapped a few pictures of her. She was cracking me up with all the faces, so of course I had to make a little storyboard!

He wasn’t too crazy about the tub at first but they we let him chew on the rubber ducky for a bit and he was content once again.

A little different color treatment here:

While Max was getting changed, Lydia and I took advantage of the nice weather for a few minutes to get a few more shots of her.

Max’s mom wasn’t really needing any Christmas pictures per se, but I asked if I could use Max as a test subject for a couple shots. This supposed baby Santa hat fits NO baby’s head, so I’m in the market for a new one!

Jeanne + Taz | Urbana maternity session

Posted in Babies, Maternity No comments

Meet Jeanne and Taz! And now you’ll have to wait about 2 months until their bouncing baby girl arrives! She will be making an appearance on the blog then too. I can’t wait! I had a great time hanging out with Jeanne, Taz and Jeanne’s mom Sharon at the Arboretum and the Japan House off Lincoln Ave. in Urbana. Taz left today (Sunday) for his job with the U.S. Navy and will be flown back by the Red Cross when Jeanne goes into labor. That is crazy to me, but awesome that the military and Red Cross do that for their families. Enjoy the rest of my favorites from this session!

I think Taz is going to be a great daddy:

Jeanne has one of the cutest pregnant bellies I have ever seen. We did photos of both sides, but the one with the tattoo turned out to be my favorite.
