Danielle & Gustavo {Rockford, IL Engagement Photographer}

May 11th, 2011

These are not Danielle & Gustavo’s official engagement photos (you can see those here), rather this was more of a styled shoot that I dreamed up and they agreed to play along.  I envisioned a dreamy picnic in the park just after sunset, when the light is soft and glowy.

These are not Danielle & Gustavo’s official engagement photos (you can see those here), rather this was more of a styled shoot that I dreamed up and they agreed to play along.  I envisioned a dreamy picnic in the park just after sunset, when the light is soft and glowy. Danielle & Gustavo wore light colors with sophisticated lines, as I requested… and they looked stunning! Wine glasses, white zin and a picnic basket all set on a whimsical blanket set the tone, but their interaction is what makes these so cute. I can’t wait for their wedding in August!

The Horton Family {Rockford, IL Family Photographer}

May 10th, 2011

Last week  I had a blast photographing the Hortons. They are the most loving family: you could just tell by how the boys interacted with their mom and dad that they know they are loved. Plus, they are just plain cute! This is one of my favorite spots to take families because there are so [...]

This is one of my favorite spots to take families because there are so many great locations within this park. (It’s the same park I took Cassidy for her senior photos, and you’d never even know it!) We met shortly before sunset, which is the best time of day for portraits when it’s sunny.

Cassidy | Class of 2011 {Rockford, IL Senior Portrait Photographer}

May 10th, 2011

I was really excited to do Cassi’s senior portraits. She wanted to go downtown Rockford and she also had an old chair she wanted to incorporate into her session – both are perfect for her and I knew it was going to be a fun shoot. I also had a new lighting technique I’ve been [...]

I also had a new lighting technique I’ve been wanting to use for a session, but it had to be the right subject. Cassidy was perfect!

All Dressed Up {Rockford, IL Child Photographer}

May 10th, 2011

The mother of these beautiful twin girls and their baby sister is a good friend of mine. The story behind these matching dresses is great. Her baby received her dress as a gift from a family member. Lindsay looked for coordinating dresses for months. A week before this shoot, she happened to find the exact [...]
 

The mother of these beautiful twin girls and their baby sister is a good friend of mine. The story behind these matching dresses is great. Her baby received her dress as a gift from a family member. Lindsay looked for coordinating dresses for months. A week before this shoot, she happened to find the exact same dresses in her girls’ size on clearance. There were only two left and she got them for a steal. As a mom, I can really appreciate stories like that!

Harley’s mom and I went to high school together back in the day. I got to photograph her family last fall and I am really excited to shoot her wedding in a few weeks. Harley turned 1 in March (yes, I am behind on blogging!) She came over for a studio session and we did a cake smash to celebrate her birthday. Isn’t she adorable?
