Who are you?- Kirsten
In a contemporary portrait, is it enough to just portray a beautiful woman? Or should the portrait convey who she is besides beautiful? This image of Kirsten was part of a concept shoot to illustrate who she is. Personally I think we nailed it. I would love to hear opinions from others who know her. If we were to photograph you, who would you be?

Contemporary portrait of a woman and her children
This mom went a step beyond what we have done thus far in that she wanted pictures with her daughter, but also her son.(much to his dismay) Boys and later Men, as a rule aren’t much into pictures, but I think this time we pulled it off. We got some abosolutely gorgeous shots of Tiffany, and then daughter Grace and son Landen. Then we put them all together and had a little fun! I hope she enjoys these images as much as I loved taking them! Hair and makeup by Stefani Smith.
Toddler Photos – Ava is 15 months
This is beautiful little Ava, youngest of three darling little girls! She wasn’t really sure she wanted to do this whole “get photos taken this morning”. The weather was less than co-operative, but we snuck a few outdoors anyway. In the end she was great, and nothing in this world beats a cheezy 15 month old grin!
Family photos – The Murray 5
Sounds like a gang in the old westerns doesn’t it! In this case though, The Murray 5 are the Murray grandchildren. They range in age from 6 to 2 weeks. It was wild, crazy, stressful….and wonderful! Their expressions and attitudes are open, natural and so unique to each child.
Mahomet baby pictures – Mimi is 1!
It doesn’t seem like a year ago that we were photographing Mimi as a newborn, but it has indeed. Now she is no longer baby, she is moving into the great realm of toddler and all of the joys and gray hair that come with it! Happy Birthday baby girl!!!

Baby Photos – Aiden at one month!
Meet Aiden. This darling little guy is one month old and not in the least bit thrilled to be having his picture taken. So, we went to plan b which means mom becomes the baby poser and gets her photo taken as well. Fortunately mom is just gorgeous, so we had beautiful mom, adorable but slightly crabby baby and some sweet little outfits. I had a blast!
Mahomet kids and babies – Amelia at 9 months
This is Amelia, or Mimi as her mom calls her, at 9 months. What could be more fun than baby pictures under the Christmas tree?

Fisher Kids and Babies – Jack is (almost) 1!
Jackson is one of those fun ” birthday at Christmas” babies, so we took the liberty of photographing his birthday a little early this year! One year olds are always a great unknown when it comes to a photoshoot…Will they fuss? Will they cry? Will they heave cupcake across the room? Thankfully, Jack is a laid back kind of baby who was quite happy to play with the cars and rocking horse. It was a toss up over eating the cupcake or the candle, but ultimately the cupcake won out!

Mahomet Baby pictures – Amelia is 6 months
Actually this portrait sitting was closer to 7 months, but they are still adorable! This age, when they are sitting and starting to babble, is such a hoot! We had the bonus of being able to photograph her in her Halloween costume. Isn’t she just too cute? And I love how mom and dad totally focus on her in the family photo. Who wants to look at a silly old photographer when you can look at a beautiful baby girl?

Champaign KId Pictures – Leah is 4!
Its so, so much fun to photograph children, especially when you have been doing so since they were born! This is Leah on the occasion of her Fourth Birthday! She is so bright and active, she reminds me of a butterfly, flitting from person to person and place to place! I just love the juxtaposition of the pink dress and the bare feet, especially as she swings her bat at the pinata! Happy Birthday Leah! May your wishes come true!
Fisher Kids Ava – 6 months!
Ava’s 6 month portraits were such a hoot! Her mom chose to have me shoot at their house as opposed to the studio, that way big sisters could go do their own thing while littlest sister was being photographed! But, in the way of big sisters, they chose to stay close and “help!” Fortunately, Ava thinks her big sisters are the best and very, very funny too!

Sisters are sssoooo funny!
Beginnings – Elias is 6!
Elias is six and at the beginning of so many wonderful adventures and discoveries. I love watching him grow and how his interests change from year to year. This year his interests are Star Wars, football and baseball. I think its so cool that he will be able to look back someday and see himself as a beginner, just figuring everything out for the first time. We were in a small park close to home, and we were able to photograph him doing all of the things he is excited about. And when we were done with the photos that he considered most important to him, we also photographed his little sister Leah and his family. As always, I am honored to be asked to tell the story of their family and how it changes from year to year!
Miss B with her hat and boots
Boots and hats…. I love them both and when you put them on an adorable baby girl, well, it doesn’t get much more fun! The third time was the charm for getting this portrait session shot, but it was so worth the wait. Brooklyn is such a doll, and we just had a wonderful time seeing the world thru the eyes of an almost two year old. I think the story told in these images is honest and beautiful, and it doesn’t get any better than that!
Kid pictures – So very sweet!
I just love shooting these darling little girls! We went to Lake of the Woods Botanical Gardens so we would have lots of room to run with super girl capes, chase bubbles, watch fish and have a little picnic. I wish I had half the energy of the two older girls and Ava is such a little doll! The love between these siblings is so obvious and so real…..I am constantly in awe. Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think!
Baby pictures – Amelia at 3 months
Baby pictures are a wonderful study of facial expression in their truest form. They have not yet learned to smile for the camera, or to yell “cheese” over and over again. Conversely, they often express their feelings by screaming at the top of their lungs with displeasure at the strange woman with the black box pointed at them. Amelia alternated between cooing and “talking” with her mom and expressing her displeasure with me. I just love the range of expressions and emotions we captured during her 3 month portrait sitting!
Hanna – a short story
I had the opportunity to photograph little Miss Hanna in a beautiful field of wild mustard on one of the few really pretty days we have had so far. I just love how the red of her dress pops with the yellow! And the pictures with her mom, I swear I can still hear the giggles!
- And shes off and running!
- but mom catches up!
- and mom gives chase again!
Portraits of Children – Pretty in Pink!
Children’s portraits are always a big unknown. The children that were shy and quiet one day are outgoing and won’t sit still the next! These two little darlings were full of energy and oh so pretty in their little pink dresses! The upside is that being a kid myself, I usually manage to capture one or two special moments like these!

ltpkids – newborn portrait
Our newborn portrait this week is Amelia Bel. She had definate ideas about how she would pose and what poses she liked and didn’t like, and when she was done. She did graciously allow mom and dad to share in her portrait experience!
ltpkids portraits – Aubrie and baby Ava
Aubrie is one of those wonderful little girls who looks equally adorable showing her dance moves, hugging her baby sister or taking a moment. We have had lots of fun with her and her older sister, and now we also have her new baby sister Ava!
Portraits of little Miss B
The wonderful thing about portraits of young children is the infinate expressions that are captured. The look of wonder, the “I’m busy” look and the absolutely adorable angel look; While unique to each child, they are recognized by mothers everywhere. Part of the joy of photographing children is remembering my own boys as small children, and more importantly, knowing that the portraits I make will capture forever these expressions for other moms to look back on and remember! Yet another reason why I love my job!

Ingrum family
These are the Ingrums, who came to me as part of a fundraising event at an area preschool that Jack and Jordyn attend! We had lots of fun and got a little crazy. I love that they were willing to be themselves and laugh and hug and generally go with the moment!

This is Leah and she is three. I have had the pleasure of photographing her and her brother for several years, each on their birthday. Leah has gone from an adorable baby to a very pretty little girl with a definate opinion on things. Happy Birthday Leah!
One!
One is such a fun birthday. Naomi was no exception. She modelled her little dress quite prettily before settling down with the cars and trucks to play. She was very enthusiastic about her birthday cupcake, and didn’t even share with mom. And then she was off to find other, more fun, things to do….
girls play with trucks too
