Boyd Family [Clinton County IL Photographer]

I am so happy that Brandy called up to fill our last spot for the Fall Family Special, which was completely sold out! Her and her husband are just so sweet and their dog, Gus, was such a fun additional to the session, even though I called him Dallas a few times (I have no idea why!). As I was snapping behind the camera I knew right off the bat these two were going to create some super cute images and I love how they turned out! Brandy & Jacob - I'm looking forward to showing you everything next week!

Emily : Wesclin High School Senior [Clinton County, IL Senior Photographer]

I am so glad that Emily chose to work with our studio for her senior portraits! She is a very talented, sweet girl and we had a great time photographing her and hanging out with her family. The thought and effort she put into organizing and preparing her session was so great, and it really makes her images stand out! Part two of Emily's session is coming up in just a few short weeks and we'll be heading to St. Louis for a more incredible images! We can't wait! xoxo, h.

The Huelsmann Family

When Carol contacted me a while back about photographing her family, her initial thought was that we would have to do it at Children's Hospital where Galen was staying. So, we planned to do it in the garden there. Well, that Sunday came and so did the rain. I was reallly bummed that we ended up having to reschedule the pictures, but little did I know, God had other plans. Later that week, Carol got news that they would be allowed to take Galen home! Carol called and we planned to do their family photographs outdoors in Carlyle. Watching this family laugh and joke together was so beautiful - Never before have I seen two siblings love eachother quite as much as Galen and Anna. It's very clear that Anna thinks the world of him and Galen just adores her. Next Friday and Saturday our Studio is having it's Children's Fall Special, where all session fees will be donated to Galen Huelsmann. So, come up for some great fall portraits and support an incredible family. Check out the Details Here.

Carol - Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your family! You four are truly some of the bravest, strongest most wonderful people I've ever met!

xoxo, H.

Kendra - Carlyle High School [Clinton County Photographer]

Kendra is a senior at Carlyle High School and I'm so happy that we've gotten quite a few inquiries from there lately! Lauren's session was a hot one, but we managed to get outside before it got too steamy and it worked out great! I LOVED all her outfits, especially the pink dress - it was so perfect! And this girl has the most incredible eyes! Just a beautiful, sweet girl all around! Kendra - You are such an awesome girl and I can't wait for your viewing premiere next week!

Lucie [Clinton County Newborn Photographer]

When Laua's sister Jen emailed me to photograph Lucie, I was thrilled! Not only had a previously photogaphed Lucie's mom and dad, Laura and Ryan, I had been following Lucie's story since Laura announced it. Early on in Laura's pregnancy, she was given the news that Lucie had CDH (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) and would require surgery after birth. You can read more about Lucie's story here. Thankfully, Lucie's birth and surgery went well and she is a beautiful, strong baby girl! She is truly a miracle and I'm so happy to capture her sweet smile for her family! I can't wait to see you guys for the viewing!
