{FRESH FACES 2010 VOTING TIME} Little Pals Photography| Sterling IL

Its time to vote for your favorite fresh face! Due to the limited number of entries I have combined them all into one category. There will be one grand prize winner and the remaining non-winning families instead of receiving half off a session fee each family will receive a coupon good for a standard session fee and 20% off standard prints (8×10 and smaller). That is a $50 value! (plus the added savings on prints)

For all other rules please refer to the Fresh Faces tab above.

Voting will run thru Monday June 14th at 8PM CST

Voting is allowed once per day per IP address.

In the event of a tie, the top 3 voting getting entries will be submitted to a panel of photographers for final voting decision.

Thank you to all the submitted entries………. good luck! and spread the word to family and friends to vote for your fav!

{Grand Opening – Pet Supplies “Plus”} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL

Today was the Grand Opening Celebration at the Pet Supplies “Plus” store in Sterling IL – Northland Mall

Lots of activites, vendors, food and fun……..

Free nail trims were just one of the services that happened there today.

So many cute dogs brought their owners to the store to buy some snacks and supplies……..

Some small, some big……..  Some rode in the carts and some walked around sniffing out the potential new foods.

Hope everyone had a great time!

Here are just a few of the pics I took today.

Starting Sunday May 16th there will be Pet Photography in the back room from noon – 3pm.

Appointments recommended.  Walk-ins Welcome!

{Wedding – Mr & Mrs “H”} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL Photographer

Congratulations to the happy couple Rachel & Ken!

Their wedding took place on Saturday in a quaint little church just outside of Dixon. The weather decided to fool us, it was supposed to be a partly cloudy but beautiful day…… turned into a windy spitting rain day which kept us indoors for formals instead of heading to a park for some fun bridal party pics. After a few minor technical issues (thanks for your patience everyone) we managed to complete the formals. The rain stopped long enough for us to get a few pics outside of the church before heading off to the reception.

The Maid of Honor is a fellow photographer who traded services with me. She was the photographer for my brother’s wedding in August that I was a bridesmaid in…….. :) Nice to have friends!

Here is a few sneak peeks of the day………








{Newborn Khloe} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL

Little Miss Khloe came to visit. I have known her mother since she was a young girl. I knew as soon as I heard she was pregnant I just had to take her pictures

She was so good and really settled right in for the session. However she was still very aware of what she liked and did not like. It took many attempts to get the wings and flower halo on this little angel. In fact before the halo would touch her she sensed it and immediately began to whimper.

Here is a sampling of this session…..

{Little Dancer} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL

Well it is that time of year again! Dance recitals…….. every young girls dream to be on the stage coming true.

This year happens to be the first time my little one will be following in her older sister’s footsteps and performing on stage.

I am certain there will be tears in my eyes as I see my youngest on stage just as there was for my oldest daughter each and every time she performed. It never gets old. And you never can check those emotions at the door. There is something so special and touching about seeing your children showing off their independence, confidence and lets not forget those adorable little costumes!

Speaking of costumes….. we picked her very first dance recital costume this past week. So of course being a mom with all her own studio equipment I had to take the opportunity to get some pictures for the memory book! Here is some we captured today. Isn’t she the most adorable thing ever? Well yes I am a bit biased because she is mine, but I am ok with that! :)

{Little Man “C” ~ First Birthday} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL Photographer

Today I had the pleasure of meeting this Family.

Little Man “C” turns one in March and they wanted to celebrate with a smash cake!

From the moment he walked in my door he was smiling ear to ear.

So very cute and did extremely well for a one year old.

He enjoyed playing with the blocks but like any one year old found my lights way more interesting…………. that is until he saw the balloons and cake.

He was so intently eating his cake he would not even crack a smile until he had his fill.

We even headed outdoors and had a bit of fun in the snow at the park. Weather was perfect!

I had such a hard time choosing just a few sneak peeks to share…… Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!
