| Isabella | Maroa-Forsyth High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2017 |

Bonus Friday post this week! I just could not wait one more minute to show off Isabella’s senior session so this week we’re finishing out the week with an extra blog post.

And if you don’t know it already, one of my absolute favorite parts about our city is the beautiful ivy EVERYWHERE… and in the fall it becomes a stunning blanket of fall colors. I just love everything about this session so now lets take a look……..

It’s time to show off the Smith family today! We fit this gorgeous family into an EARLY morning Limited Edition session this fall and I’m so glad we did. We were working to find time to fit them in before a day full of activities/games and it came together perfectly with this beautiful sunrise light.

While I loved this session, I’m most excited about how this family decided to display their images! This was the first time this family had worked with us and Aimee was excited to not only have professional images created but also to display them in their home. She came in with a number of wall images so we could design something perfect for their space (one that already featured a gorgeous shabby chic door hung right on their wall – real statement piece!). While she wasn’t opposed to moving that large piece to replace it with a portrait similar in size (60″ +) we instead decided to design with it in mind and create a smaller series of images that could be hung together or moved around as they like.

Doing a number of canvases also allowed us to feature each of the kids’ favorite portraits of themselves and a couple different family poses for different spaces in the house.

By far my favorite thing to create for families are their personal home galleries! We wake up to 3 of our wedding images each day, and walk down stairs past 60 inches of portraits of ourselves (which will soon be growing with the addition of at least 5 new wall art pieces in our gallery to show off BabyB). And while writing this it seems a bit narcissistic, in reality it doesn’t feel that way at all. It instead fills my heart with love and joy for my family each day when I get to see us happy, loving and together on our walls. And the best part is little BabyB points and says ‘mommy, daddy, bear, lily’ when she sees them too!

Full family sessions are often tough to fit into your busy schedules (I know, scheduling acrobatics is a bit part of my job!) but imagine what we can create for your family and for your home with just 15/30 minutes… just a single Limited Edition in 2017 could add a little love and light to your home and I’d love to be a part of creating that for you.

Booking is open NOW for our 2017 Limited Edition Session dates and full sessions are already filling fast (sunset spaces in for fall especially!). You can book your Limited Edition Session right HERE right NOW!

| McCoy Annual Family Portraits | Limited Edition Mini Sessions | Decatur IL |

I love meeting new clients, but there is something really special about repeat clients. Having the chance to watch families grow and change over the years is a pretty awesome part of this job and I’m excited to have worked with this adorable group for the last 4-5 years to create their annual family portraits.

It’s rare these days with our busy lives that I find families who do make the time to get in front of the camera EVERY year and I’m so glad these guys do. I’ve watch Cruz (the littlest) grow from a baby into a spunky toddler and energetic little boy. Chloe is growing into quite the young lady and is so helpful on session both with her brothers and even with my gear that she might just have to start tagging along with me on sessions for the extra hands. And Ryne (who never used to smile for the camera) is getting used to this whole photo thing every year and is now a pretty suave little man!

For the first time this year we decided to do something a little Christmas themed for these guys as well as inlcuding in their pup since we hadn’t done that in a few years.

The McCoy’s have a pretty good rhythm in place for updating their focal wall art pieces in the home. We have a designed a gallery wall for them with a large focal piece and a series of smaller images as well. Last year we updated their smaller pieces and this year (with the dog) it was time to update the large wall art (with the one below!).

Families don’t feel bad if it’s been 1 year or 10 years since your last family portrait! Today is always the right time for your next one and even with a quick 15 minute Limited Edition session we can update your family legacy and leave something fun for your kids to love today and for the rest of their lives.

We still have one day of studio Limited Edition sessions available this year on Saturday 12/3 and sessions are only $45!

| Kayle | Mt. Zion Senior Model Class of 2017 |

It’s Kayle’s day in the spotlight today!!! This gorgeous gal is one of our Class of 2017 Senior Models and I’ve had so much fun photographing her over the past few months. We started on a CRAZY windy day at the Decatur Airport and had some fun with our parachute dresses, she rocks the runway look like a pro!

Most of our favorite images from Kayle’s session were at the always beautiful Allerton Park, her outfits meshed perfectly with the variety of scenery at Allerton and we have to give a huge shout out to Katie F at Mint Salon for doing a fabulous job on Kayle’s hair and makeup too. We finished out Kayle’s last session with a beautiful and personal location – her grandparent’s farm. Though central Illinois offers a variety of beautiful locations, parks, etc nothing beats a location that’s part of your family! We had a gorgeous day (a little HOT but we survived!), pretty evening light and perfect scenery at the farm. The images at the farmhouse are probably my absolute favorite from all of Kayle’s sessions.

Don’t forget to head over to our facebook page to give Kayle some love with your likes, comments and shares!
