I love my job….

June 12, 2008 – 8:18 pm

Really, I do.  Because I get to spend a wonderful few hours on a Sunday evening with a warm, happy family.  I enjoyed every moment I was able to spend with this happy,  energetic group.  This peek is late, I am so sorry folks!  I am working hard to get the gallery completed for you.

Here is Mr. E, who is a drummer, along with Dad and younger brother.

And Mr. C, the cutest Superhero swordfighter…

And putting the PRETTY in Pretty in Pink, is Miss J….

Thank you for a wonderful evening guys!  I enjoyed every moment of the soccer, drumming and twirling.

More very soon!

Ashley and Tim’s Engagement

May 27, 2008 – 10:21 pm

Wedding season is in full swing here in Illinois, and I am two weddings behind but working hard to catch up! Taking a small break to share Ashley and Tim’s engagement images. They will be married this July in Peoria, and Kara and I will be celebrating their day with them. Here are a few images from their recent engagement session.

Sharing an engagement….

May 14, 2008 – 3:00 pm

Missy and Grant will be getting married this fall at Kickapoo Creek Winery, so we headed there for a few shots to celebrate their engagement.  There isn’t much growing there yet, but you can certainly see the potential, and it should be incredible when fall rolls around.

Jesell and Anthony are married!

April 20, 2008 – 12:44 pm

Jesell and Anthony were married on April 12, 2008 in Galena, Illinois, and we had the pleasure of capturing their wedding day. We had a fabulous time spending the day with this wonderful couple, as well as their friends and family. It was a little cold, but still a perfect day with this pair.

All the little details were just perfect…

After the ceremony, we headed over to a park for some shots of the bride and groom. It was CHILLY, but Jesell braved the cold, and Anthony was kind enough to hold her bouquet so that she could keep her hands warm. The Westminster United Presbyterian Church where the couple was married is right over Anthony’s shoulder here.

We then headed to the DeSoto House Hotel for some toasts and relaxation. We stopped some traffic on Main Street just before leaving the reception.

And the first dance….love this one!

You can see more of Jesell and Anthony’s wedding by visiting our wedding photography blog at Wedded Art.

Thanks so much, Jesell and Anthony! It was an honor to share your special day!

Kids and leaves are the perfect combination!  This is one of my favorite families, and we spent a few hours recently just playing in the fall leaves at Lake Storey Park.  Here are just a few, more to come very soon!

Sneak Peek for the R Family

November 3, 2007 – 12:16 am

Sneaking in under the wire with this one.  I said I’d try to have it out on Friday…just have a few minutes left!  It’s wonderful to spend time with a family having fun just being together.   This family was so much fun, and the leaves made for some great backdrops!
