My Fresh Faces 2010 Winner came in yesterday for his first session.

And like all 1 year olds was more interested in moving than sitting.

We did manage to capture a few images of him in between his juice, snacks and toys.

Looking forward to capturing more at their family session this fall.


Tonight I had Mr Charlie in the studio for a quick session………..

He was such a good dog and definitely the largest dog ever to step into my studio.  I should of put something in the shot so you could tell how large this cutie really is.

I am just guessing that when he was sitting his head was approx 4ft off the ground.  He made my little dogs look like little mice in comparison.  :)

Little Man “D” turns 1 Month Old!

This little cutie pie was so sweet and snuggly.  He came by just in time to get a few 1 month shots and some family pics with Mom & Dad.

I do believe he was my first little boy baby to NOT christen any of the blankets during the au natural shots. ;)

Here are few sneak peeks of him………..  almost done preparing the rest for Mom & Dad to see and share!  Gallery should be online Wednesday or Thursday.


Tonight was a trip to the park………..

We fought off mosquitos for an hour to grab a few shots of Mother & Son.

Poor guy was full of bites in just the first few minutes.  I had to photoshop out a bite on his poor forehead

This mom and son have a special place in my heart and will always be part of the “family”.  Love you guys!

Here are a few sneak peeks………… rest are uploading to the proofing gallery now.

Tonight we had a short session to capture a few more images of these little boys…….

Such cuties!

We headed to Sinnissippi Park and did some baseball images.  Hope you enjoy!

Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing the Grandchildren for this family.

Last year when we did family pictures there were only 5 grandchildren and now this year there family has grown and they have 7

It was so fun to see how much the 5 from last year had changed and to meet the new additions.

Here are some of the images I captured.

Almost done with the rest of the gallery.  I should have them up for you in a day or so.

Enjoy your sneak peek…………

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!

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!

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………
