I recently had the pleasure of working with a delightful new client, Sabrina, who is absolutely one of the cutest little ones I've photographed! We had such a fantastic time during her session. Her mom requested a charming Halloween setup, and I’m thrilled she did because it turned out incredibly well — especially highlighted by Sabrina’s radiant big smiles!

Capturing her joy and curiosity made the 6-month-old photoshoot truly special. Sabrina's expressions and the spooky decor created a whimsical atmosphere that was just perfect for the occasion. I can't help but get excited thinking about our next session together, as I eagerly await her big one-year cake smash! It'll undoubtedly be another amazing moment filled with laughter and fun. I'm already looking forward to creating more beautiful memories with this sweet little girl!

Radd is the newest addition to this wonderful family, making him baby number three and the third little boy to join the crew! It’s hard to believe how adorable he is; he truly is a little doll baby. One of the first things that caught my eye was his incredible head of hair—it's so soft and fluffy, yet it has a remarkable ability to stand up all on its own. It’s almost as if his hair could add an extra pound to his tiny frame! I couldn't help but laugh at how it seemed to have a personality of its own.

What made the day even better was how cooperative Radd was during our time together. He slept through the whole session, allowing us to get so much accomplished without any fuss. As a Central Illinois photographer, this was a dream scenario for capturing those precious moments. His peaceful little face and fluffy hair made for some adorable photos. All in all, it was a delightful experience getting to know this sweet little guy and witnessing the joy he brings to his family. I can't wait to see how he grows and what kind of mischief he gets up to alongside his brothers! As a Central Illinois photographer, I feel fortunate to be able to document such beautiful moments.

I had the pleasure of photographing Charlotte, the third baby in this family. She was tiny and beautiful, but don’t let her small size fool you—she was one of the most alert babies I have ever photographed and gave me fantastic eye contact! Open-eyed shots are some of my favorites, and she did not disappoint! Her big sister was so excited about her new baby sibling and loved taking pictures with her. It was so sweet to see!

Congratulations to this wonderful family on their new baby girl!

I can’t believe this little guy is already ONE! As always, Andy was the perfect model for his pictures. He loved smashing his cake, but he especially enjoyed the little bathtub that was just his size! He splashed around like crazy with a smile on his face the entire time! The bathtub is always a favorite among our cake smashers. Even if they don’t like the cake, we always capture smiles during the bath and clean-up portion! Happy Birthday, Anderson! I can’t wait to see you for your 18-month portraits! :-)

I've known Abby since I had the pleasure of photographing her first baby, and now she's expecting baby number three! Excitingly, it's another boy! 💙 During her maternity session at our maternity portrait studio in Peoria, IL, she looked absolutely stunning—like a queen! 

I truly enjoy pampering our pregnant moms and making them feel special during their maternity sessions. Mothers put so much into their families, and I ensure that every moment of their maternity session is focused on them. From hair and makeup to outfit options, everything is included! Thank you, Abby, for a wonderful session! You are breathtaking! I can't wait to meet baby boy number three at our maternity portrait studio in Peoria, IL!
