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.

One of my absolute favorite photography sessions is maternity. It is such a special time bringing a new baby into this world. It is a time in your life you will never forget. Whether you love being pregnant or are are not feeling well my goal is to make you look and feel AMAZING!!!

Imagine showing your daughter or son these images when they are grown and showing them all the love that you have for them before they were born. Imagine looking back and remembering such a special time with your significant other..... this is why I am a photographer because I love capturing these special moments for you to share.

I want your Maternity session to be as easy to plan as possible so I have a large selection of Maternity Dresses for you to choose from as well as separates. Want to be a little sexy, want to just show of your tummy or want to be completely covered? I have dresses and separates for everyone. Let me plan the maternity session of your dreams!

Oh and Samantha, you rocked it! Beautiful!

Introducing Jackson, such a sweet little guy. He came in for his newborn session right at two weeks old. Many people are confused or don’t understand why we recommend the first two-three weeks of life for baby pictures. There are a few reasons. The first being that we want to capture them fresh. We love to see the wrinkles, the hairy shoulders, the flaky skin. We love the soft fingernails, tiny lashes. Each unique little feature of your newborn baby changes quickly. Soon they won’t fit so tiny in your arms. The little peach fuzz on their shoulders, back and cheeks will soon be gone. They won’t be as curly, as sleepy. Their features will change, and they won’t quite look like a newborn anymore.

They are only this fresh, this tiny for such a short time. It is a fleeting moment that we love capturing for parents and families. In this stage they sleep deeply, they love to have their legs curled in to their bodies, just like they had them in the womb. The baby acne hasn’t developed yet. These are the moments that all too often are forgotten. Sleep deprivation takes its toll.

We love creating lasting, treasured memories for families and parents of their baby’s first days of life. Moments and memories that can never be recreated. Let us capture your baby for you. You’ll never regret having gorgeous images of your new little one. We can’t wait to work with you!
