"Little boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up older." -Peter Pan I can't believe these two cuties are already a year old! We've known Cal and Ryce's mom, Casey, since high school and we were so excited when she contacted us for their one year portraits. I knew Casey would have something cute planned but, wow! I had no idea! I love their Mickey outfits for the cake smash. And those bib overalls!? Adorable! Cal & Ryce have grown so fast this past year and seeing the look in Casey's eyes when she looks at her little boys just melts my heart. It's easy to see the precious bond you have with your boys and we could not be more happy for you!

Ainsley: Belleville East High School [Southern Illinois Senior Photographer]
Ainsley is a familiar face around the studio and we absolutely adore her! We first met Ainsley at the photoshoot for the Lookbook we co-created with Lillian's of Lebanon and immediately knew we wanted to involve her in some of our other projects. She stunned us once again with her beauty and fun personality Supermodel Experience video earlier this year. We were so excited when asked to do her Senior session and absolutely loved how her images turned out. Ainsley, thank you so much for helping us fulfill our vision not just once, but twice and these images are the cherry on top! Can't wait to see you at your new job!!
ELIZABETH: Mater Dei High School [Southern Illinois Senior Photographer]
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.
LUCY: Mater Dei High School [Southern Illinois Senior Photographer]
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!
