Gratitude [Clinton County, IL Photographer]

Gratitude - It's a simple word, not said enough. When I think back on this last year, that's the only word that comes to mind. Well, that and a little bit crazy. But overall, just gratitude. I am so beyond thankful for the amazing people who we've been blessed to met and work with along this journey. To see something I dreamed of creating coming to life is.... well.... unreal. Again, gratitude. We're thankful for those who trusted us to take their portraits. In a world where everyone has a camera in their back pocket and snapshots are uploaded by the million to social media, it is truly humbling to see messages in our inbox and hearing the phone ring - Knowing that what we create here in our tiny studio is something more than a facebook upload- It's something we hope that families will pass down through generations and cherish as more than just paper, but a family heirloom and a positive experience.

From the bottom of our heart, Thank You.

For each new morning with it's light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, For love and friends, For everything Thy Goodness sends... Happy Thanksgiving.

xoxo, H & the Team

Courtney : Mater Dei Catholic High School [Clinton County IL Photographer]

Firstly, I am so happy to have gotten to spend time photographing Courtney! When we met earlier this year for her pre-session consult, she had lots of ideas in mind for her senior portraits; including softball, fall leaves and Busch Stadium. I'm so happy we were able to nail all three of those! And as an added bonus, Courtney's sweet daughter Avery came along for a few portraits, too! As I watched Courtney play with Avery and get her dressed, I noticed just how much she adores her just by the way they played together. And it's easy to see why - Avery is the sweetest, smiliest baby I've ever photographed! Courtney - What I've learned about you from the time we spent hanging out is that you are a strong, sweet and passionate. I know the future holds big things for you and we can't wait to see what you accomplish!

Emily : Wesclin High School [Clinton County Photographer]

Emily is such a fun, outgoing and talented girl! She has big goals (like med school!) and a kind heart and we know she'll go far in the future. I'm so happy that we were able to capture her senior portraits for her! We had a blast dancing in her gorgeous homecoming dress and finding fun and unique locations downtown. I really enjoyed spending time with her family as well! It's easy to tell how close they all are, which is fantastic!Emily - I'm looking forward to creating an awesome album for you and I know your new wall portrait is going to be beautiful! See you in just a few weeks!

Morgan + Alex [Engagement]

We absolutely love working with Morgan and Alex. It is so easy to see how much they love each other just in simple thing... Like, when he rubs her arms when she's cold, even though she never complained about being uncomforatble. Or, the way she calls him a peach when he helps her get ready. It's truly refreshing to see a couple call eachother "Pal" and you just know that they are more than in love, they are each other's best friend. And they are hilarious, plain and simple. We had a blast with Morgan and Alex and we absolutely can't wait for their wedding next year! :)))))) xoxo, h.
