Girls like Elizabeth make my job so rewarding it's hard to think of it as a work. The day was filled with laughter and a lot of girl talk. Not only did we get to know her from talking with her and her mom, but also her locations. I love that Elizabeth chose locations close to her heart. From her bright and fun bedroom to her grandfather's hammock that was so comfortable Amy almost fell asleep "testing it out." Elizabeth good luck in your Senior year and thank you for making our "job" so much more than that.

This girl is a blast be around! She brought so many new and creative ideas to her pre-session consult I couldn't wait for her session day. We were pretty bummed when we had to reschedule because of rain but I'm so glad we did. From the hallways and bookshelves of Mater Dei to the Great River Road and Loading Dock in Grafton this day could not have been more perfect. Lucy we are so happy to have had the privilege to work with you and hope you had an amazing experience with us! Good luck with your senior year, you're going to rock it!
LAUREN: Mascoutah High School [Southern Illinois Senior Photographer]
By looking at her images you could never tell but Lauren's session landed on what had to be the hottest day of the summer. We even started early to beat the heat! I'm so happy we were able to tough it out and I had an awesome time getting to know you! Best of luck on your college search!
CAROLINE- Mater Dei High School [Southern Illinois Senior Photographer]
Sweet Caroline, nothing describes her more perfectly. We could not have been more excited when she decided to become one of our first Supermodels! After starting the day with hair and makeup (and ski) and a couple outfits, we were off to the city! The City Museum rooftop made for gorgeous backdrops at every angle. Even for those who have a acute fear of heights. Right, Amy? We then ventured to Tower Grove Park for a gorgeous sunset shoot. We enjoyed getting to know her and her mom even more during our very first time eating at Pi and ended the with a night shoot on Washington Ave. Caroline I hope you had as fun as we did on your Supermodel Experience and we have no doubt your positive and sweet personality will take you far in life.
MADISON- Wesclin High School [Southern Illinois Senior Photographer]
A few weeks ago we had a blast photographing Madison... aside from the bees and mosquitos that seemed to plague us at almost every location we chose. She was such a good sport and was willing tough it out and we are so glad she did! From graffiti to sunflowers to a very special necklace, Madison's images could not be more stunning. Madison we are so thrilled you chose us to capture these images at such an exciting time in your life. We wish you all the best for your future and hope you're having a blast your senior year!
Mr & Mrs Daniken [Southern Illinois Wedding Photography]
Crystal has a long history of any time she gets her hair and make-up done, it rains. So, naturally, we had multiple back-up plans for their big day. But, when it finally came, it couldn't have been more gorgeous! A perfect 75 degrees and sunny with a light breeze. As the ceremony was starting and the flower girls made their way down the isle, I promise it could have been something out of a movie. They were giggling, skipping and throwing petals in the air together, one of the sweetest entrances ever, leaving a gorgeous purple trail for the Bride to arrive. The ceremony was wonderful, ending with the Bride and Groom, and their bridal party, driving off in a Limousine to the reception. There was a lot of celebrating, a lot of smiles and a lot of love passed around on Crystal and Daniel's Big Day. Congratulations to you both and we wish you many, many years of happiness!
