Tim & Laura | Family

I had the privilege of photographing another fellow photographer this fall, Laura Meador and her husband Tim! I met Laura several months ago and she and I have worked together for a few different weddings now and I have really enjoyed getting to know her and during this shoot, her husband as well! She does a great job and her fabulous work can be found at www.theartphotographic.com.

When Laura originally asked if I would take some updated pictures of her and her husband Tim, I was honored! They have been married 7 years and she mentioned how she’d love some romantic images of the two of them for her home. My PLEASURE! I love romance… and these two definitely still had a lot of romance in their marriage. So cute. So here are some of my fave’s!

Laura took me out to a Forrest Preserve she and her hubby hike at. I LOVE new spots so this might easily become one of my favorites.

Laura also asked if I would take some pictures of her and her camera… YES! Tim also bust out his because he works alongside her as well!

On our way back into town, we did a little “drive by shooting” at these incredible road and barns out in the country.

Ooooh I loved this spot below. This light just made me giddy….

Tim & Laura… I sooo enjoyed getting to spend even more time with you! I respect you and your husband and hope you love your images!

The Barnlunds | Family

One of the beautiful things about being a photographer is all the other incredible photographers you get to meet. Bridget Barnlund is a local Bloomington-Normal photographer in town and she is incredible! Definitely check out her site www.imaginatephotography.com. Her style is one I really respect and love and she is beyond talented! Not only in her photography but in her beautiful display and blog she keeps. All that to say, we decided to do a family photo swap. She photographs me and my fam… and I photograph her and her fam. It works out great. So here are some of her clan!

I love the sweetness of the photo above… Bridget’s little girl Ashton is giving her mama some love.

When I first met Bridget, she was pregnant with her little guy, Rowen. He was so go with the flow for the session… and just adored his big sisters!

So after we did some of the fam…. we just had to do some of her and her hubby, Eric. Below are some of my favorites…. we had fun

Bridget – your family is amazing. Thanks for the trade! Love you dear…

The Simpsen Family

Chase and Aja have been married over three years and had their little guy, Dash, about 16 months ago (see Dash as a newborn here)! Their family is close friends of ours and Chase and my husband, Brandon, are cousins. Their family is so much fun to photograph. For one, they LOVE pictures. Even Chase is a great sport about them! Two. They’re all just gorgeous and Dash could not have been more sweet and charming during our session. Here are a few of my favorites…

Aja just opened a new Salon in Bloomington called Elevation so she brought the sweet purple chair in the picture above. I got to take some photos of her place right after she opened and posted several on my business facebook page. If you wanted details about that or just wanted to check out how it all came together, you can view her place here.

The one below is a fave….

Aja came stocked with essential hair supplies for the session…. for the babe. Dash’s mohawk= adorable.

So I mentioned Dash was charming… he was also quite the flirt. Obviously he gave Aja many kisses, but my little girl, Elyse, came along for the session as well and she just showered her with hugs, love and kisses. She’s almost exactly the same size and just as blonde so it’s really cute to watch them love on each other… (in a second-cousin kind of way).

Chase, Aja, & Dash… I love you guys.

The Mamminga Family

I wanted to post a few from another session I got to do in my hometown a couple weeks ago. Jen, Bob, and their three adorable children, Amber, Alaina, and Ryan. I had the opportunity to photograph Jen & her babes a couple years (before little Ryan came along) with her sister and high school friend of mine, Dawn, and her little one Bella. I was thrilled to be able to document their whole family this time though!

Their little girls had oodles of energy and just loved to be tickled by their mom and dad.

And umm yes. I fell in love with their little guy, Ryan and his adorable cheeks.

Thank you Jenn & Bob for allowing me to be apart of your beautiful family for the morning! I hope your love your images!

This memorial day I got to photograph my amazing brother & sister-in-law and my adorable nephew Gatsby!! Here are a few of my favorites!

All Smiles.

I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a baby who smiled more than this little guy Peyton. He literally looked right at my lens and smiled the entire session… I was in love. The only time he fussed a little is captured in one of the photos you’ll be able to recognize… though it lasted only about 30 seconds. So good to meet you Kelly, Kevin and Peyton!

My husband and I know Hannah and Cedric really well and consider them some of our best friends. We met through the college group, Fuel, we’re apart of and have been close friends for about 2 years now. The two met when Hurricane Katrina brought Hannah up north from her New Orleans home to attend school at Illinois State. After dating a little over a year, the two were married in July of 2008. As I’m sure you can tell from the pictures, Hannah and Cedric have an absolute blast together. We had a great time getting some pictures for their new house before Cedric leaves for Army training late this February.

I got the chance to photograph the Steffen family out at Lake Bloomington… it was a beautiful family and a gorgeous day (little cold), but not bad. Here they are!
