{Kenjilyn – 6 months} Little Pals Photography | Sterling IL

Children/Family / 0 comments

It is so hard to believe that little Miss Kenjilyn is already 6 months old.

She was bright eyed and very interested in all things in my studio.  She was fascinated with my reflector.

She was so busy looking at her surroundings and all so serious.

After lots of efforts on Mom & Dad’s part and a bit of horsey noises and songs we finally got a few smiles out of this serious little princess.

Here is a sampling of Miss Kenjilyn’s session.

{Squirrel and his snack} Little Pals Photography | Sterling IL Photographer

Wildlife/Nature / 0 comments

Well I just love when I am out on a shoot and nature decides to give me a photo op.

At one of my senior sessions in October this little squirrel had taken time out to sit on a fence and have a snack.

He kept his eye on me as I approached him…… of course I am assuming this squirrel was a boy ;) but I really do not know for sure.

While my senior was changing outfits I grabbed some photos of the squirrel……  Hope you enjoy!

Children/Family / Pets / 2 comments

I was recently contacted by a member of the “S” Family looking for a last minute shoot. They were on a tight schedule and we only had a small window of time when they all would be together in town for a Surprise Birthday Party…….. SURE HOPE the surprise party went well! I will have to say it was the first time a client ever brought their own Dslr camera to a shoot …….( btw Thanks for letting me borrow your wide angle lens because now I want to trade my current wide angle in for one like yours! ) Here are a few of the images we captured from our short session. Such a great looking group of kids! OOPS excuse the Senior watermark on the kid pic…….  grabbed the wrong watermark action……

I got the pleasure of photographying this beautiful family once again.

Hard to believe its been almost 3 years since they were here last….

The little boy in the pics will turn 3 in October and one of his newborn pics still has a special place in my heart and on my business cards :) He was one of my best ever sleepers at a newborn session.  I believe he slept thru the whole process and made my job so easy.  Mom tells me that was the last time he slept that well for almost 2 years!  Guess I got REALLY lucky!

Big Sister has grown into a pretty young girl and was my special assistant when I needed her.

This time they welcomed home a new baby girl.  She was just the sweetest thing ever.  And just like her brother she slept great and when she was awake barely made a peep.

Enjoy these sneak peeks and as usual I cant just choose one or two to share!

Meet Kenjilyn……..  Such a sweet little newborn girl came to visit on Mother’s Day with her mommy & daddy for some pictures.

She made us work for it in the beginning but once we finally got her cozy and started she was such a good little girl.

I had thought we were actually going to make it through all the pictures before she “showered” us.

Like all newborns who are free of the diaper its really only a matter of when and not if it will happen.


Here are a few of her images.

{Seeing Stars | Glee style} Little Pals Photography | Sterling IL

Special Events / 8 comments

Playing catch on the blog……

In December I donated my time and talent to LSSI for their yearly fund raising show. Directed and Produced by Heather Hartzell

Lutheran Social Services of Illinois is the largest social service organization in the state.

LSSI’s services include Children’s Community Services, Behavioral Health Services, Prisoner and Family Ministry and Senior Services

For more information on the services they provide you can go to www.LSSI.org or call 1-888-671-0300

In December they celebrated the 10th Annual Seeing Stars which is a variety show featuring local talent of all ages.

For the last three years I have volunteered my services for photography to use in their promotional ads for the show. Some of you may remember last year’s billboard with Marilyn Monroe look alike.  The picture of the group from the billboard is in my flash header.

And this year you may have seen this photos on placemats at many restaurants in town.

I attended dress rehearsal night and captured hundreds of photos and have been meaning to share a few for awhile but holidays got away from me.

So better late than never here is just a few of the many images I took…………

{Little Man “D” 6 months} Little Pals Photography | Sterling IL

Children/Family / 5 comments

This year sure did fly by………..  And this little cutie is growing up fast.

He first came to me as a newborn and now he just turned 6 months old!

He was such a little joy to work with.  Probably the first little one not to cry at all!

Well the sounds bad doesn’t it??  lol  Not all my clients cry……..  haha  mostly the little ones who just have had enough of sitting and cooperating.

Although I will say I do tend to make the mom’s cry………… AFTER the session when they view their proofs! tears of happy joy!

Here are just a few sneak peeks of this little man!  Mom already has her login so if you know her you can ask her to see the rest.

I just love when they give me so many different expressions so I can put together a FACES OF _________ collage!

Check out this little darling!!!!!!

He is such a cutie.  He made us work for those smiles and seemed to know when the camera was not on him and gave his biggest smiles then.  Just like all kids do. ;)

Thanks K&K for bringing your little man to me……….. hope to be able to watch him grow.

Here is a few sneak peeks from this session.  Ok maybe more than a few………. I just can never choose just a few.

Today we had a beautiful day outside.  The wind was a bit chilly but much better than we have had in a week or so….

I meet this family at the park for a quick family session to capture a few images of each grouping…….

You may recognize one of them as a recent Senior on my senior website.  But I also had the pleasure of having  a little boy from when I first began my business come back for this session as well.

I love returning clients! I look forward to capturing more memories for them in the future.

Here is some sneak peeks……….
