High School Senior- Hailey

Hailey was my assistant last year.  I loved having her around!  She was fun, energetic, and always had a smile!     

Senior 2011- Haley

This was a session from last summer.  I had alot of fun with Haley!  It was a beautiful day to capture photos of a beautiful lady.  She is off to college now starting her freshman year as a Presidential Scholar.  Much success to you, Haley!

It's great to be back!

I am so excited to be updating my blog after a year hiatus!  I am coming back with a new look on my blog and I am so excited about sessions I have scheduled for this fall!  Where I have been?  Busy, busy, busy taking care of my family and son, The Dragon Slayer, as he battles cancer.  This picture was taken earlier this year and he has come a long way since then.  I appreciate all my existing clients for their support and all my new ones to come this fall!   

Catching up...........

It has been a long time since I have been here! I have a few sessions to share so I will start off with my daughter.........she turned 5 the day after Christmas. It is just so hard to believe. She is a such a sweet little girl and is growing up more and more every day.

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!
