Megan's Senior Session

Meet Miss Megan!! Sooo cute in these library pictures! I met Megan back in 2011 when I did senior pictures for her big sis Sara. Megan plans on attending college for Graphic Design! I was honored when mom called and asked me to take Megan's senior pictures. I took her pictures when we came to Tennessee to visit family over the Christmas holiday. I was afraid it would rain, but the weather cooperated just long enough! Since moving to Illinois a year ago I took some time off from photography and was happy to start again with such a sweet girl! I have to admit it was a little hard getting back into the swing of things, but I have gotten my creative juices flowing and I am remembering why I fell in love with photography all over again. My husband was giving me a weather report just today. We were talking about great places around our house (in Illinois) to take pictures in the snow!! Now we just need it to snow! Mom and dad enjoy your sneak peek!

Lindsay's Senior Session

Meet Lindsay she is a Senior this year at Campbell County High School. She is on the Golf team and has a scholarship to play in college. Can you san B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! I had such a great time with her and her family. It was my first time on a golf course and probably will be my last, unless it is for photography purposes. I don't have the patience for the game :-(. There were so many great pictures I had a hard time choosing which ones to post on here. Enjoy!!

Seth & Megan's Engagement Session

Meet Seth Megan! I work with Megan and when she asked me to do their engagement photos I was honored to do it. I really enjoyed their session, they are such a sweet and fun couple!

Durham Brothers

Meet Jameson and Jonathan. Jameson is six and Jonathon is six weeks. These two brothers are cute as can be! Big brother did great, but baby brother didn't do so well. He was happiest when he is in moms arms. Aren't we all though, especially little boys. I know that is where I like for my son to be! They grow up way too fast!! Enjoy them while they are little!!

McKinney / Hayes Wedding - Part 2 - Lake City Wedding Photographer

OMG....I had a blast with this group. I laughed sooo much! If you haven't been to Pinterest.com you need to. I have had several brides to ask me if I would do some of the poses that they saw on there. One of which is the role reversal pose as you will see at the bottom, we did several that turned out hilarious. Oh, and I could not believe when they jumped in the pool!! I have to say that was a first for me. Enjoy Part 2 of your sneak peek!

Carter - Lake City Child & Family Photographer

Meet Mr.Carter......I had a blast with this big guy. I have known his mom since before he was born. I kept telling him that I couldn't believe how he had grown and was already five. He would tell me that he wasn't five yet. His birthday is in a few days, so Happy early Birthday Carter and enjoy your sneak peek.

McKinney/Hayes Wedding - Lake City Wedding Photographer

This wedding was so fun to do and also the biggest I've done with 10 bridesmaides, 9 groomsmen, 2 flower girls, 1 minature bride, and 1 ring barrer. A friend of mine from work gave me this idea ( I think she had seen it done at another wedding) I would have never thought of it myself! It worked great with this group! As you can see some were creative and others followed direction well. The credit goes to my niece Emily who took all these pictures for me. Thanks Emily!! Together we took over 1300 pictures, WOW, yes that is alot and it will take me some time to go thru them all. So bare with me.....I will be posting more as time goes by, but for now enjoy this sneak peek!!
