Dirty 30

Mike Glasscock, other wise known as Dirty 30, has been a lifelong friend to Jimmy and race buddies for a long time. After all these years, I consider Mike to be a great friend of mine as well. While Jimmy has gotten out of racing over the years, Mike has continued to race and improve his race car. Jimmy and I have both enjoyed going down to the "garage" and help with the race car on Friday nights during the off season. Well, Jimmy helps. I sit in the corner and surf the net and have cocktails! While the car was being put together, I mentioned it would be fun to do a shoot with his brand new car and some "trophy girls". He was all for it and we had a great time! So far, he has had a great season with numerous top 5 finishes. Can't wait when he calls to tell us he has won the Feature!

The Future Mr and Mrs Blythe

Its always nice to photograph engagement couples! I rarely get the chance to since I do not do weddings, but since they will be getting hitched in Jamaica. We went to Lake of the Woods in Mahomet and it was a such a pretty place with a waterfall and a covered bridge. Oh and snakes just a foot away from where the couple from standing. Eeeek!

First Family of the Year!

I just love the warm weather! It brings out short sleeve shirts, flip flops, sunscreen, bugs, nature, and my favorite- giggles from little ones playing outside. I can sit on my front porch and watch my kids for hours as they ride their bikes and trikes and just laugh and run without a care. We are busy watching a family of four little robins being hatched in a nest down by the road. It is so sweet to see the excitement on my kiddos faces as they peek into the nest on their tippy toes to see these little creatures that joined the world just hours before. Yes, spring/summer is my favorite time of the year. Another reason for loving summer- photography sessions! These two little guys were so sweet and I know their big sister looks out for them and they just adore her. What a great looking family! I hope to see yours this summer too! I am offering an outdoor mini session this month so please email me if you are interested! It's a great deal!

Happy Easter!

Michelle + Tyler = Marriage! (Soon!)

Here is a beautiful couple, Michelle and Tyler. Michelle has a been a close friend since kindergarten. I love my Shell and wish Tyler and her so much happiness! And I owe Tyler my life because during our shoot he caught my light as it was about to hit the ground when a gust of wind almost blew it over! Thank you, Tyler! Can't wait for the celebration in May!

Ashley Senior 2011

Wow, has it really been a month since my last post? Things have been crazy at home and I have been busy trying to keep my family and myself healthy. Everyone but Jimmy has had the flu bug. I hope you are staying healthy and getting ready for Spring, I know I am! Stay tuned for an announcement about my family mini sessions I will be holding in June. This will be a great way to get your family photographed for a great deal and in less time. (This is great for Dads and little ones!)

Now for the feature presentation......Miss Ashley, high school senior 2011! We had a fun time going from location to location. We found a old vintage car in an alley and decided to use it as a prop! I love to use the surroundings and anything old and rustic is perfect! After graduation, she will be moving on to study political science. Good luck with your new adventures, Ashley!

Brianna, Tri-Valley High School Senior 2011

Bri and I did two sessions, one at Lake Bloomington and the other at my studio and my locations. Don't her eyes just draw you in to the image? She is so sweet! She has big plans after high school to study computer stuff, I know she will do great! Thanks so much Bri for a great session!

Family Session

This session took place at Lake Bloomington, where the scenery is gorgeous and options are unlimited. This family was so fun to photograph. I instructed mom to bring a suitcase full of clothes and we would go from there. It was fun to pick out outfits and piece them together. After we were done with the session and packing up, there was a gorgeous sunset so we had some fun with that as well.

Doesn't she look like she belongs in a fashion catalog for tween wear?


He was alittle shy at first, but quickly loosened up and gave his mom and dad some great shots to pick from!
