Olivia | Senior
I have the prettiest clients!
Liv was so cute and once she warmed up to the camera- she brought it! I was diggin' the zebra boots (in the 95 degree heat) and the adorable summer dresses. Work it girl!

Garrett | Senior
Garrett is a man of few words, but those big blue eyes speak volumes. Seriously, could he not be a Hollister model? My favorite images are of him laughing (most likely at moi?)- his eyes just light up!

Unconditional | Personal
I had to think about it awhile. "What is your favorite memory?" a client asked me during a consultation the other week. I stuttered "Well.. humm..." I love my job. Everything about it. Being behind the camera, talking with people, helping them to look their best and feel comfortable enough with me to expose their personality- I love it. So when he asked this question, I was stumped.
It hit me this evening.
One of my first weddings- TJ and Maria. I've grown up with Teej and was blessed to be asked to photograph his wedding. His little sister Taylor has special needs and is a total doll- She's always smiling and laughing, a complete joy to be around.
During the reception Taylor was dancing in the arms of her mom, her feet 12 inches from the floor. It was a moment. To see them both giggling and smiling, Taylor's little hands wrapped around Tracy; I got choked up.
The love between mothers and daughters is indescribable. The best word I have to express their love in that moment: unconditional.

Hales | Personal
Rachel, Haley and I made the 2 hour trek to Champaign this morning to drop Hales off at U of I. We were not given a lot of options, and none of them were pretty. We made the decision to have her leg amputated and hopefully give her a few more happy years with the Chatham Chicks. I wanted so badly for the puppers to be able to tell us what she wanted- I think that was the most difficult part- having to make the choice for her.
Surgery is tomorrow and she'll be home by Friday. I know the awesome vets @ U of I are going to take great care of her, spoil her rotten (they mentioned peanut butter to get her to swallow her pills!) and send her home tumor free.
