the latest in-studio & on-location MO, IL and beyond
I was thrilled to be invited back to the zoo this year to photograph their annual Zoorific event! It’s a great fundraising evening full of delicious food, fun animal encounters, auction and fabulous people all for a great cause. This year was a little rainy but it was still a fun evening and an event I was so proud to be a part of.
You all know I love traipsing all over town (and even out of town) to create images for my clients, but not every senior (especially senior guy) is super stoked to have their portrait taken four hours … shocker I know! But it’s for this reason that I offer mini sessions and our quick and easy ‘Simple’ senior session. This option worked perfectly for Connor and we were able to quickly and easily create a variety of images right here in the studio! This means senior was happy (that we were fast) and mom was happy (that we created a variety of looks to capture this time in Connor’s life).
I’m a sucker for a good momma/daughter session and I love working with these beautiful gals! You might remember Cassidy’s senior session last year, well she wanted a few more with some summer colors and we definitely needed to get her lovely mother in a few to capture their relationship so before fall snuck up on us we created these:

I worked with Amy to coordinate a family portrait session gift for her momma last Christmas and I’m so excited that we were able to get everyone together to complete it this summer! These guys are always looking good but they did a great job coordinating everyone and this time it was nice to have the boys along to carry that couch (at Jessie’s senior session Amy and I lugged it ourselves!).
I cannot wait to see how the wall art we designed looks hanging in their homes!
Jen & Mike had a BEAUTIFUL wedding day, getting married at St. John’s Lutheran Church here in Decatur with their wedding reception at the gorgeous Decatur Country Club. We could not have asked for more perfect weather and as you can see they are an absolutely adorable couple.
For this wedding the SJP team was a little rounder than usual as their wedding date was only TEN days before my due date (9 days before #babyB made her arrival). And I wasn’t the only one with extra hands on deck as my second shooter, Elizabeth, was also around 7 months pregnant at the time too!
Well even if I did waddle a bit I was thrilled to be able to capture this couple’s special day! Here are some of our favorites….
