| Ella | IL Pag. Winner |

This year I was honored to provide a prize to the local Cerro Gordo Bement Junior Miss Pageant and the lovely Miss Ella won our prize! We expanded a bit on what she won to get her a full studio and outdoor location session AND include her little sister too. These two gals were so much fun to photograph and as I always do with sibling sessions we got some real sibling love in there holding hands and hugging (you all know how much tween/teen siblings LOVE each other all day every day right?!?!). Well mom and I know they really do so we always get those warm and fuzzy photos on session.

I’m so excited for Ella’s unique wall art selection along with her custom-designed album which is going to be a blast to design. But until those go home with these girls it’s time to share all Ella’s favorites with them and the world. Enjoy!

| Warrensburg-Latham High School Senior Yearbook Photos |

I’m excited today to share with you the senior class of Warrensburg Latham High School! I’ve been working with WLHS for the past few years to create their senior portraits and I always love seeing these guys throughout the year for dances and such and though some schools are moving toward more casual looks for their yearbooks I really like the timelessness of a sleek professional headshot and am so glad Warrensburg trusts me with these. While you don’t often think about it senior year, the yearbook portrait is what you’ll have to show your kids/grandkids in the future and I’m so honored to be a little part of that legacy for all these high schoolers.

| Kaylan | Central A & M Senior 2017 |

It’s Kaylan’s time in the spotlight today! We split Kaylan’s senior session between some time here in the studio and some time at and around her home for a little personal touch. She brought loads of personality to the session with her sunglass collection and paid special tribute to her cousin including his jersey and truck for some truly meaningful and memorable portraits for her and her family.

It seemed fitting to share her portraits today after the cubs win too!

Shop On Main | Small Business Feature

I have a fabulous local business to share with you today!! I’ve had the honor to work with Cindy, the owner of Shop on Main, in a number of ways in my time here in Decatur. She’s designed beautiful wedding decor for a few of my brides and just a couple years ago I had the chance to photograph her and Mark in their beautiful home. But today, I’m even more excited to be able to show off her boutique located right in the heart of our city. Shop on Main is really the perfect store for all things lady; clothing, stunning jewelry, handbags, accessories, décor, gifts…. ladies if you want it, this shop has it (and I guarantee you’ll find things you didn’t even know you needed, but you do, you so do!).

So enough gushing from me… read on to hear more about this shop straight from Cindy herself (and get out those Christmas lists ladies, you’re going to want to take notes).

The Details: Cindy Deadrick Wolfer, Owner at Shop On Main | In Business: 39 years

Hours: M-F 10-5, Sat 10-4 By Appointment | Location: 407 N. Main, Decatur, IL | Phone: 217-422-2674

Tell us about your business… What do you do? We are a unique boutique featuring women’s clothing, accessories, gifts and décor.

What makes your business unique/special? Our boutique is special in many ways:

We do not “over order” meaning that we order just a few of each item.

We work with our clients to make sure the items they select are used in a fashion that reflects their personality.

We carry special lines of accessories that are only available at our location and in one local store

We have great customer service, including private shopping, client “wish lists for special occasions, gift wrapping, delivery and shipping.

We have plan “special events” including Sip and Shop Saturdays and informal modeling at the Wildflour on the last Thursday of each month.

What item/service on your menu or in your shop do you just LOVE and think everyone needs? I love the south so I love the Hilton Head inspired Spartina Collection of purses, jewelry and accessories. These linen and leather handbags are awesome.

In what way have you gone above/beyond in the past for a customer? We have private shopping for those that just can’t get in during regular hours. Our dedicated staff also makes sure that our clients are thanked and called when a particular line of item arrives at Shop On Main.

What is the coolest thing you’ve ever had a client do for you? Let us decorate their home for the Holiday using our wonderful Holiday décor.

What other local business do you just LOVE? Why? I love each of the boutiques downtown because they each have their own personality. As store owners, we try hard to carry a variety of lines so that the same item is not seen over and over.

Tell us about YOU… WHY did you choose to do what you do? I have always wanted to be in business for myself and I have loved retail forever. Displaying the merchandise is my favorite part of working at the Shop On Main
