Baby Photos – Aiden at one month!

Laura Trovillion Photography — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:41:13 +0000

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!

2012 Fisher Senior – Megan

Laura Trovillion Photography — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:40:39 +0000

Megan is my first senior girl of 2012. When we set the date for the sitting, I was hopeful we would luck into some more incredible weather, but no luck. Cold, wind and rain/sleet forced us to stay in the studio to create magic. Hair and makeup artist Sarah Kellems created great looks for each outfit, ranging from fun and flirty to Audrey Hepburn elegance. I was my usual insane, “oh my god, we’ve gotta try this” self, and Parkland intern Carly Wilson was tasked with lights and props. Thru it all Megan was AWESOME. She totally rolled with all of my crazy ideas and contortions. I feel like we captured the heart of who she is with her senior photos. See for your self!

Fisher Kids and Babies – Jack is (almost) 1!

Laura Trovillion Photography — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 23:46:31 +0000

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!

2012 Fisher senior – Boyd

Laura Trovillion Photography — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:27:15 +0000

Boyd’s senior portrait shoot was alot of fun in spite of the weather and the late date. We were in the woods where the wind was blocked and it was quite a bit warmer than the shoot the night before, which was a blessing. Boyd has gorgeous hair and the colors of the autumn woods really complimented his coloring. He smiled alot, which was great. He seemed to be having a good time. We shot a couple of looks in the studio, and then decided to play a bit with a football shot. I think it turned out pretty cool!

2012 Fisher Senior – Mike and his dog

Laura Trovillion Photography — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:03:32 +0000

Mike was another senior that got a really cold, windy day for his senior portrait shoot. He was game though and toughed it out even though I think his teeth were chattering! Luckily the second half of his shoot was in the studio with his puppy, Mia. Mike wasn’t mr. smiley, but I like the images we got and I hope he does too.

2012 Fisher Senior Pictures – Chaney

Laura Trovillion Photography — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:32:51 +0000

Chaney is our senior from last night. Yep, we were shooting outside, freezing our butts off. However, as you will see, it was totally worth it! Chaney had some really great ideas for her senior pictures, and was game for anything! Finally we came into the studio so she could have some photos with her adorable dog and to show off her great new smile!

2012 Fisher Senior – Justin

Laura Trovillion Photography — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:41:51 +0000

Justin got to be my first indoor senior of the season. While indoors was not necessarily his first choice, I think he had a pretty good time, and I think we got some Amazing shots!

2012 Mahomet Senior Pictures – Maggie

Laura Trovillion Photography — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:25:10 +0000

Maggie’s senior portrait sitting is hands down the most unique shoot I have done yet. Her portraits are a combination senior portrait and senior photostory. If you cannot guess from the images, Maggie likes to bake….alot! She wanted something that would speak to her passion, so after a few formals in the studio, we went to her kitchen! She proceeded to demonstrate her awesome culinary skills and her “signature” recipe for blueberry muffins! I can tell you for a fact that they were very, very good!

2012 Gibson City Senior pictures – Jordan

Laura Trovillion Photography — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:38:22 +0000

Jordan is from Gibson City and his senior portrait sitting was just about what you would expect from someone who eats, sleeps and breathes soccer. The first half of the photoshoot were shots for mom. These we took in funky places and alleys in downtown Champaign. The second half of the shoot was the “fun” half and taken on the soccer fields at Parkland College. It didn’t really matter which half it was, cause Jordan totally rocked the shoot! Special thanks to Storm for helping with the lights and being the defender for the soccer shots.

Mahomet Baby pictures – Amelia is 6 months

Laura Trovillion Photography — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:21:50 +0000

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?

family photos – Jason and his puppies!

Laura Trovillion Photography — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 22:42:16 +0000

Those of us with pets know that they become part of the family. They seem like one more kid. Photoshoots with pets is just like having kids as well. We had a perfect morning, a gorgeous location and two completely unwilling dogs. But we did end up with some pretty nice photos!

I said "look at the camera!"

A photostory – Mary and Danny

Laura Trovillion Photography — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 22:21:39 +0000

28 years ago a single mom of three met her neighbor’s brother, and the rest as they say is history! During our photoshoot, Mary and Danny told me many stories about their lives together. Stories about how they met and stories about the kids, and grandkids. I knew this would be no ordinary photoshoot. This isn’t about posing and lighting, its the story of their love for each other and the family they raised. Its a beautiful story, and I can only hope my images do it justice.

Fisher Kid Pictures- Teagan is one

Laura Trovillion Photography — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 22:06:24 +0000

One is such a fun age to photograph, and Teagan was such a hoot! The weather didn’t co-operate, but we had lots of fun in the studio instead. Mom brought lots of her favorite things, among them her wagon and a giant zebra. Mom also brought cake, and as you will see, Teagan was into cake.( although she did share with mom!)

I just love shooting engagement photos. It is so much fun to shoot two people in that wonderful so-much-in-love stage. Barbara and John are no exception! We had a wonderful time in the overcast October weather at Lake of the Woods. Its hard not to take awesome photos with a gorgeous couple, beautiful light and a very cool motorcycle!
