| Samuel | 9 Months Old Fall Family Portraits |

Do you guys remember this adorable squishy little newborn Samuel? Well he’s definitely not so little anymore! I just had the chance to go home to Jefferson City to photograph his 9 month portraits and we let mommy and daddy join in too.

I cannot say how much I love being a part of this little guy’s first year and watching this family grow. So looking forward to his first birthday portraits which will be here before we know it!

Another perk to having a session back home is I got to shoot at the Runge Nature Center which I haven’t photographed at for years but was a staple location of my younger days.

| Hughes-Callison | 35 Year Anniversary Portraits | Decatur IL |

Did you miss me? You may have noticed (or may not have) that I was MIA on the blog last week… The reason was a combination of a SUPER busy fall week with a total of 24 of my usual 40 hour work week being spent out on session and then being hit hard for a couple days with flu/strep.

But I’m so glad to be back on the blog this week sharing this lovely couple with you. Randy and Elizabeth just celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary and wanted to create a portrait to commemorate the big milestone. I was so happy that Elizabeth thought of me for these special portraits and glad that our shorter Limited Edition sessions were the perfect fit for something quick and easy. Here’s a look at their absolute favorite from their session!

| Paradee Fall Family Portraits | Decatur IL |

I love love love this family and am SO excited to show off some of their favorite images from this past fall’s session. I’ve had the privilege to photograph the Paradee family a few times all starting with the lovely Ms Bridget’s senior portraits a few years ago!
 
I’m honored that these guys came back again for me to create some portrait art for their walls along with Christmas cards! In the midst of this heat wave I thought it would be great to remember fall is coming and look back at some cozy fall portraits. It’s hard to believe we are already filling our fall and Christmas schedule for this year too!

| Morrison Family | Decatur IL Family Portraits |

This beautiful family came to me to create some VERY important images which would be their last with their beautiful dog Scout. Having two aging dogs of my own who are very much a part of my family I’m always extremely honored when clients call upon me at these sad times. Scout is now forever with the Morrison family on their walls (and in their hearts of course).

Plus, we had to get some images of just the kids while we had them out and all cleaned up nice! This whole family was wonderful to work with and I’m so glad I got the chance to meet Scout and work with them.

| Burns Family Portraits | Decatur IL Family Photographer |

Are you guys ready to see two absolutely adorable little boys and their family?!?! I’m so excited that it’s time to share the Burn’s family portraits with you. Dana won one of our auction packages recently and she was so excited for some sunset portraits and though clouds literally rained on our parade the first day we had her set we were able to get her in one a beautiful evening at the Scovill Zoo.
