While out on location for a senior session we came across this little bird sitting on the ground under a bush.
The poor thing must of been sick or injured because it did not fly away and I was close enough I could have reached out and touched it.
While my senior changed his outfit I took a few moments to capture this bird. I only hope it was just taking a break on the hot day and that it flew away to safety after we left…………
Hard to believe that August is nearly over………. Where did this month go?
I havent blogged much this month at all.
Life has been crazy. Packing up my oldest daughter’s room so she could move to her next adventure……….. transferring Junior to Northern Illinois University.
She has grown up way to fast. Time flies by. My once little girl is now experiencing apartment life with roomates.
I have gone through many ups & downs this week as I learn to let go and allow her to spread her wings and fly…….
The hardest thing for me was seeing her empty bedroom. So I quickly got to work cleaning up the very little remains she left behind and transforming her old room into her little sister’s new room.
We torn up carpet to reveal the hardwood floor underneath.
It seems to help not to see the closed door and empty space. But I still miss our daily chats, or disagreements……….lol
Now by moving her little sister in there it has left a new empty space……….. which we began transforming over the weekend……..
It will become the new home for my photography studio. Clients who have been to my basement home studio will want to be sure and book to see the new space I am creating.
Hope to have it operating in the next week or so………. but it will remain a work in progress until I fine tune a few things.
No pictures of the new space just yet…… hopefully next weekend it will be far enough along to show it off.
This process of moving, remodeling and room swapping has taken up alot of my August……………. oh that and of course driving to Dekalb to visit my oldest in her new place……. 
I am currently also working on some fall specials to get a jump start on the holiday photos…… check back soon for details!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family.
Today this husband and father boarded a plane for deployment……….. Off to serve this country.
Very touching moments were witnessed between father & son as well as between husband & wife
Also lots of arm slapping fun too as we swatted away the mosquitos that were out in record numbers last night.
It takes a very strong person to put ones life on hold to serve this country. I salute you and all other military families.
If you know of someone who is leaving on deployment or returning from deployment please get in touch with me as I would like to offer them a “no session fee – discounted prints” photography session.
Here is a few images from this families session……. Please leave this family some comments to let them know you appreciate their service.
While out on locations shooting a senior session I captured a few images of this brother & sister together.
So as not to steal the spotlight from the big brother on his senior images post I decided to post these sneak peeks of them together on my family site instead. 
I love traveling to new locations and family homes to capture images of families. Atmosphere is much more relaxed and I think we can see more the true personalities.
Call me today to book your family session!
Here is a few sneak peeks of the brother and sister together………….
As you can see here we tried to capture some family farm history with a little fun mixed in! I played around with a few different color techniques to put a more vintage feel to them. Which one do you prefer?
