  • Welcome!!

    So glad you're here! I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 18 years and we have two beautiful daughters, ages 13 and 15. I attended Columbia College and received a degree in Graphic Design. I worked as a graphic design manager for 7 years at the Illinois CPA Society where I designed their Magazine INSIGHT. My love for photography was always there but had to wait...

    On April 28, 2008 my daughter who was then almost 3 was diagnosed with ALL a form of Leukemia. As you can imagine that was a life changing moment to say the least. Through all the tears and heartache of watching your daughter go through intense chemotherapy and missing out on so many things—I have learned to treasure memories even more then ever. I just love
    taking precious pictures of children and families—the idea that these pictures will be looked
    at for generations to come is such an honor to me!!

    So here I am doing something I LOVE—capturing beautiful moments!

mini session dates {book’em}

Hello,

Hope everyone is ready for the fall/ back-to-school season. I can’t wait for all the lovely fall colors and cooler weather!

I am busy booking session till the end of the year. I will offer two mini sessions in September, October and November. Full sessions throughout September, October and November during the weekday mornings/evenings and weekends.

Please note that I will not take Holiday pictures after December 1st (only milestones/newborns) it’s too hard to get all the editing done around that time of year so plan ahead for those Christmas card photos and gifts!!

~Also if you notice that one of these dates is a day that you have a full session booked already- that is ok- I can always make a full session work on my mini session days. The difference between them are a mini is a 20-25 minute session (12-17 pictures) which includes up to 4 people and has one purpose ie:family pics-or just kids pics. The full session is 45-60 minutes (30-40 pictures & photo package) up to 6 people and is whatever you’d like individual-family etc.
Thank you!
