| Tarrant Family Portraits | Decatur IL |

Katlyn was one of our stunning 2016 senior clients (See here session HERE) and this fall it was time to get the whole family in front of the camera. These girls are the sweetest and I had a blast hanging out with Katlyn and her mom for her portraits so I was thrilled to meet the guys in their lives for this go round.

Fall was a little odd this year so surprisingly this late October session is rocking a lot of green foliage but I think it ended up working perfectly with their olive wardrobe! Plus, despite some crazy wind we caught a lovely sunset.

| 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!

| The Taylor Boys & The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift for Grandma |

Get ready for cuteness overload!!!! I was so thrilled when Danielle called me to setup a special session for creative gift ideas for her mother for Mother’s Day this year. Danielle was a new client this past fall and I got to meet her family to create their Christmas cards (check those out below too) and this time I got to meet her sister and her happy little boy Maddox.
