The weather was a bit cold and windy when we did newborn Ruby’s shoot, so we decided to reschedule the outdoor family portion for another day. It happened to be extremely hot, but they all did so great… even after seeing a HUGE spider in the tall grass. Little Miss Ruby is the 23rd grandchild for Mom and Dad (Tater’s side). There will be 24 this summer. We are so thankful for the children God has given us and a big family to love and share our lives with. Here is Tater’s brother and his family. He is blessed with girls. ;)

TRIPLETS. love them! We had so much fun with this session. The family brought a lot of ideas, accessories, and looks for their shoot. There is so much fun in this session that we will be showing it to you in 2 parts. 

We love that they wanted to capture the special family times they have reading God’s Word together. What a wonderful thing to remember when they are all grown. The Bible was read aloud. It definitely was a cool moment of the shoot.
More FUN to come on Monday!

It’s time to party! She just turned 3, so we celebrated her birthday Bubble Guppie style. Here is her 3 year old photo shoot and a peek into her Bubble Guppie birthday party.

… that we are not showing you the 200+ pictures that we loved of her shoot, but we figured while we were editing these, we would put some up.

As a reminder, we are booked for the remainder of this 2011 year. We are currently booking January - April sessions. Please contact us if you are interested. They do book fast as we only do a few sessions per month. Thanks!


We had to capture the artist in her. This was her expression when she realized we were taking out her oil pastels for her to color with.

I’m just getting around to editing some summer pictures of the kids. After an enjoyable evening in downtown Bloomington doing Landon’s photo shoot, we set the girls down to grab a few of the entire group. Even though their outfits were not planned and it was totally impromptu, I smile when I see this one. Have a great weekend friends!

Do you remember the first house that you grew up in? We had the opportunity to capture moments of this family right before they moved out of the house that they began raising their family in. We captured the details of the home that had meaning to them, and of course got some images of their beautiful kids.

We got to focus the majority of our time on this sweet girl. age 1 1/2.
We love this home’s character and all the details.
This is the ladder that went up to the loft in the boy’s room. :)

I remember the excitement I had when I received my class list for my first year of teaching. It was for first grade at Peoria Christian School. I remember looking down at all of their pictures. They seemed SO little to me. I was so excited to find out about them and their personalities.
I remember the nervousness I had as the first day of school began. I wanted to be the best teacher for these kids.
I remember the students as they came into the classroom. Some entered the room joyfully while others clung to their parents unsure of what was ahead.

As the school year went on we made great memories, friendships, and hopefully I taught them something along the way. My room moms were awesome, and I still have to this day an album that they made me of pictures throughout the year capturing fun moments that we had.

Believe it or not, my 1st first grade class is now in high school and they can drive!!!! I seriously feel that it was yesterday when I watched a special little boy run out to his mommy everyday after school and give her a hug. That “little boy” is now all grown up, and I am friends with him on Facebook. It is crazy how life changes and how quickly time goes by.
I had 3 wonderful years of teaching first grade, and I am so thankful for the students that I have been able to keep in contact with. Those kids have changed my life, and I am so blessed for the memories that they have given me.
Here is my first class of 1st graders in front of the school.Here is my second year of teaching. This was jog-a-thon day.My third year of teaching. It was the 100th day of school. Shortly after my third year, Tater and I moved to Bloomington and began having children of our own.

Now OUR little boy is entering the 1st grade world. I know how quickly time goes, and I am sad but happy for him to begin another school year. Pretty soon HE will be in high school with his drivers license, but until then we are capturing and enjoying this time in our little boy’s life!

He loves to run! Being a boy… He does it well considering he lives with a lot of girls.His notorious monkey run. He seriously runs like this a lot and goes really fast.
