Kase {Rockford, IL Newborn Photographer}July 31st, 2011This morning (err… technically yesterday morning – I’m a night owl) I got to photograph one of the cutest newborn boys I have ever had in front of my lens. He was a little all-star model, too, never crying or fussing while we moved him from pose to pose. |

The Wilson’s {Freeport, IL Family Photographer}July 27th, 2011People are always asking me, who is this Heather you are always talking about? Is she extremely good looking? Is she super talented? Is she really pregnant with twins? The answer to all of these questions is “yes.” If I bring a photographer with me to a wedding or a newborn session, is is Heather [...] |
People are always asking me, who is this Heather you are always talking about? Is she extremely good looking? Is she super talented? Is she really pregnant with twins? The answer to all of these questions is “yes.” If I bring a photographer with me to a wedding or a newborn session, is is Heather 90% of the time (except for the next few months, as she is expecting twins in October!). If I am drinking a McDonald’s caramel frappe, Heather is probably with me, drinking one too (and we’re probably in Walmart). Our toddlers are BFFs. You can bet your snickers I will be at her house multiple days a week holding these cute baby boys she is about to have. I am so excited! I was pretty excited to take her maternity/family photos last night. I love taking everyone’s photos, but this is HEATHER!
How do you know when a photo session is over? This is a clue… 
Mini Accordion Albums {Rockford, IL Photographer}July 26th, 2011I offer some pretty unique products in addition to my custom photography services. One of my favorites is the mini accordion album. These come in wallet or square shapes – fit 10-14 photos and are perfect to stash in your purse. I absolutely love them and I carry one of my son in my purse [...] |
I offer some pretty unique products in addition to my custom photography services. One of my favorites is the mini accordion album. These come in wallet or square shapes – fit 10-14 photos and are perfect to stash in your purse. I absolutely love them and I carry one of my son in my purse all the time. The frosted slip cover keeps it nice and the magnet inside the cover keeps it shut. There are tons of cover options, too. This one has a baby blue linen cover.
Elliot | 1 Year Old! {Rockford, IL Baby Photographer}July 20th, 2011I can’t believe Elliot is 1 year old (this next week) – he is the little baby that helped get me started when his mama was pregnant and let me practice on her and then again when he was born. He is such a cutie! |

Nadia – 9 Months {Rockford, IL Baby Photographer}July 19th, 2011Nadia has gotten so big since the first time I met her in February. She was so little then that we had to lay her on her back for her portraits because it was hard for her to keep her head up. When she came over for her 6-month pictures, she had just learned to [...] |
Nadia has gotten so big since the first time I met her in February. She was so little then that we had to lay her on her back for her portraits because it was hard for her to keep her head up. When she came over for her 6-month pictures, she had just learned to sit up. Now she is pulling up to stand and becoming quite mobile! She cracks me up because she always starts out very serious, will smile for us a little bit, and then she is totally done with the shoot. She is so cute!
Newlyweds Jack & Mary {Rockford, IL Family Photographer}July 19th, 2011Yesterday I took some newlywed portraits of Jack & Mary. Yes, I said newlywed! The couple met at their retirement home and wed this past May. They are a very cute couple! Their community center provided the perfect setting. We did stop outside for 2 minutes, but one photo was all we could get in [...] |

Their community center provided the perfect setting. We did stop outside for 2 minutes, but one photo was all we could get in the sweltering heat. My lens was fogging up in the high humidity!
The Tessen Family {Rockford, IL Family Photographer}July 17th, 2011I always have a blast when I get to photograph families, but I really loved everything about this session. It’s awesome when I get the chance to meet a family that is so genuinely happy to be together – they make my job easy! I was also getting a big kick out of their son, [...] |
I always have a blast when I get to photograph families, but I really loved everything about this session. It’s awesome when I get the chance to meet a family that is so genuinely happy to be together – they make my job easy! I was also getting a big kick out of their son, who like my own little guy, has very serious eyebrows! It was funny trying to get him to smile – I think it was a tie between the bubbles and pretending to sniff stinkweed (and making a huge deal about how stinky it was).
Also, a big thank you to Angela’s mom who let me borrow her beautiful settee – I love it!
Oh Evelyn! | 2 Month Old Girl {Rockford, IL Baby Photographer}July 16th, 2011Our good friends welcomed a new baby girl to their family a few months ago.

Our good friends welcomed a new baby girl to their family a few months ago. Evelyn is such a sweet-pea that I hogged her a little bit this afternoon when her family came to visit. After lunch Jayna and I whisked her upstairs to my little studio, leaving the husbands with the toddler & the preschooler to get a few cute shots of Evie and her adorable head of hair! I threw together a little headband on the fly using a silk flower and a scrap piece of ribbon. Isn’t she a beautiful baby?

Jesse & Lindsay had a very small, intimate wedding with family and close friends in attendance. The location was a secluded spot in a lush arboretum. Afterward they dined under the stars in a white, lit tent. The meal was lavish, featuring recipes carefully selected (and partially prepared) by the bride who is studying to be a chef. She even made her own wedding cake! Everything was so beautiful and so personal – many of the decorations were handmade by Lindsay and her family. Here are a few highlights from their special day!
