All 5 1/2 lbs.

Aidin was so little! He arrived for his shoot at a whopping 5 1/2 lbs. You could nearly wrap your fingers around his waist with one hand! Brecken was never that small; he arrived a hefty 8 lbs. At the time I thought that was little, but after seeing little Aidin... I don't think so!

Kristen & Zach

I LOVED this spot! Zach's parents own a beautiful farm outside of Camp Point, IL and it was heaven on earth. There were soooo many places to shoot. Here are literally just a few. I think this was one of my biggest engagement session EVER! And of course, it always helps when you have lovebirds ;)  

Angela & Nate

Another one down! I'm frantically trying to wrap up as many sessions as I can before I head out of town tomorrow (if you don't make the website, don't be sad--it's just because I don't have time to get everyone on here!!!) Here's a peek at Angela and Nate... sweet couple, can't wait until October! 

Julie & Mike

Another awesome wedding! Julie and Mike were so much fun. Beautiful Julie glowed! And oh... that smile... when Mike looked at her you could just see the love--not to mention all the kisses! We navigated our way through the mud from the day before (up to 6 inches in some places near ol' Quincy!) to get some great shots in South Park. I'm so happy we did because the grass was deliciously green. Just for you Julie!!! 

Gerber baby Ryann

Ryann could be a Gerber baby; she was absolutely beautiful! Her Mommy even painted her toenails pink!

Wear it Twice.

Believe it or not, but in my 4 years of taking wedding pictures, not one bride has asked me to do her portraits before the wedding!!! Jenny was my first and why not?!? Shouldn't all brides have the opportunity to wear those fabulous dresses twice? 

Lydia & Ellie

Lydia was the sweetest little squishy newborn. In fact, she almost (almost...) made me want to have another baby now. She didn't fuss--not even a squeak. Ellie, her older sister, on the other hand had plenty to say. She told me all about her beautiful princess necklaces and even sang me a song. Two beautiful little girls!
