Katie & Chad - Engagements [Southern Illinois Wedding Photography]

When we first met Katie and Chad, it was at the Mexico on Main in Trenton (they do have the BEST margaritas!). We sat and talked about what their wedding was going to be like, what they had planned already and what they envisioned for their pictures! After the tacos and unlimited chips and queso were gone, we had a plan. We decided to go for a more rustic shoot, complete with the perfect red barn. It was gorgeous! The day of the shoot was incredible weather! White pillowy clouds, sunshine, light breeze... perfect! The first location was like a photographers dream - rustic barns, wodden swings, piles of logs, rows of gardens, hay lofts, metallic buildings, stone paths...just the most amazing little spots around every corner! Not to mention, Amy made a friend with their pet racoons - Lets just say I was less excited than her, but they were cute nonetheless ;) AIl together, it was a beautiful day!

Agney Family [Southern Illinois Family Photographer]

I had such a great time with the Agney family! We started out in the studio and then headed outdoors just in time to catch the beautiful sunset! These two have the sweetest, most adorable grandchildren! They were simply precious to work with! Grandpa is a hunter so of course we needed images of the grandkids in camo! We paired it with some cute burlap outside and the beautiful light made for a beautiful portrait. Agney family - thank you so much for coming into our studio and letting us photograph you! We had a wonderful time and we hope you enjoy these images for years to come!

Bobbi & John - Engagement Session [Southern Illinois Wedding Photographer]

For Bobbi & John's session, we wanted to do something really special - We took them out to dinner at 52nd Street Bar & Grill, where we got to know them a lot better! After talking for a while, we learned that John loved to ride motorcyles and Bobbi loved going to Old Town St. Charles. So, we decided to combine the two ideas and I really think the session was exactly perfect for them! We spent the morning finiding places that fit with the biker vibe and then we headed to St. Charles. We spent the afternoon having lunch together and strolling the old streets finding unique places and checking out the cute shops! I had never been there before so it was definitely a fun experience for all involved! At their ordering appointment, they choose a 3 images metal wall cluster. I think that was the PERFECT choice for their images. They colors are going to be amazing and it totally fit their theme! Can't wait to get them in!

Lane - 1 Year Session [Clinton County, Illinois Family Photographer]

I just love when our phone rings from the Hilmes family! Kara, mom, is so beyond creative and prepared! Her ideas are always super fun and I am so glad they called us for Lane's big ONE year appointment! He is possibly the easiest going child, ever! His sweet smile completely melts your heart and you can tell by his laugh that he adores his big sister, too :) He was completly full of smiles for his session and I think the rustic red barn was the perfect spot for him! Although I have to say, the black and white headshot is my all time favorite - he's just so precious!
