| Kaitlin | MZHS Senior 2018 |

Just a couple years ago I got to photograph Kaitlin’s brother Brian and I was so excited that it was Kaitlin’s turn in front of the camera this time. Just as usual with siblings portraits we wanted to create a few things that were similar to what we’d done with Brian so that the wall art we were creating would coordinate a bit but we definitely didn’t go matchy matchy and we let Kaitlin design a session that really fit her well which meant all outdoor portraits at a couple different locations to mix in some nature and some grungier textures.

| Trinity | Class of 2018 High School Senior Portraits | Decatur, IL |

Today I get to share the lovely Trinity with you today. Not only did we give Trinity her time in the spotlight for her session but we also included her sister Tiara (one of our past seniors too) as a big part of her portraits. These girls are so fun and I love their sisterly relationship, we even facetimed in Tiara from college to help choose the wall portrait of the two of them!

It’s always such an honor when I’ve photographed one senior in a family to have their younger siblings come back to choose me to create their images as well. Of course, in some ways we like to keep things coordinated so that we can create wall art that fits perfectly with what we’ve created for the older sibling, BUT we also want to give each senior/sibling their own unique session. While we chose studio (and a specific look to match Tiara’s portrait as a throwback to their momma’s senior portrait), and nature and urban locations for both girls we mixed up and used each location uniquely so nothing felt ‘the same’ about the girls’ sessions.

Check out some of our favorites from Trinity’s session including her full album design below and be sure to head over to our facebook page and IG to see more and give her some love with your likes/comments.

| Brittany + Woody | Decatur IL Engagement Session |

I get to show off this lovely couple today. Brittany and Woody were a blast to photograph and not only did I get to spend the afternoon with them but they brought along the family to enjoy the occasion with us too.

A fun tweak to their session was that they changed their wedding date after we’d photographed with these signs soooo I flexed my photoshop muscle and changed 9.22.18 to 6.23.18. Unfortunately, that date change also means I won’t be spending their wedding day with them but it was so fun to get to know them a bit on session.

| Amber + Josh | Decatur IL Wedding Photographer |

This weekend I got to meet some brand new 2018 brides and grooms and am so excited to be sharing in some of their big days in the coming year. In the wedding spirit I wanted to share Amber & Josh’s wedding day with you all here!

I had the pleasure of meeting Amber’s dad a few times through speaking at the Decatur Camera Club and it was such an honor that they thought of me when it came time for wedding planning. It’s always a little extra push to photograph for a family with an interest in photography.

These two had a gorgeous day at the Decatur Conference Center and Amber created some beautiful decor with succulents that was so on trend and yet classy and elegant. I’m a big fan of weddings at the conference center not only because their staff really puts on a wonderful event but also because of the photographic locations right at our fingertips inside and out.

I always have fun exploring and we used a back hallway for these two that I hadn’t used before and I love the lighting results. Plus, through a tiny little pathway we discovered a beautiful little meadow out back but favorite of all is the willow tree and pond which was a perfect way to close out our day at sunset.

Another super fun detail of this wedding day is that Amber’s maid of honor was none other than her momma. They were so so sweet and you all know I love the mother daughter moments.

 

| Conn Family | Fall Family Portraits Decatur IL |

I now get to show off one of my favorite families, the Conn Family! You may remember Liz & Justin’s beautiful wedding day at the Millikin Homestead and their first family portraits here last year.

These poor guys froze their booties off last year with a crazy windy cold day so this year was a treat with mild weather and a beautiful day for their session! We even had some lovely fall colors even in mid-November for our Limited Edition sessions.

I’m a big fan of their card design and hope it filled their friends/family mailboxes with some smiles this year.
