{SneakPeak} Brandon + Lisa - Pearl City Engagement Photographer

Brandon & Lisa are one of the sweetest couples ever!  I have known Brandon's parents for quite a while now as they are teachers{back when I was in school and my son just has his mom for Kindergarten 2 years ago)! We had soooo much fun during their engagement session this past Saturday.  We started in the studio...went to the cornfield...went to someones house and asked if we could use their red barn...went to Krape Park and ended downtown Freeport{yes, that was a lot-but we were having so much fun}!!!  I can't wait for their wedding next year:)

Enjoy your sneak peak:)

It's that time of the year again!  The leaves are changing{which I LOVE} and the air is getting cooler{which I don't love}!!  This is a wonderful time of the year for family portraits-pictures of the kids-outdoor high school senior sessions-engagement sessions and even the pets!

Our Fall Portrait Special is running now through the end of October.  These beautiful colors only last for a

short time, so our schedule is limited.  Call or email me to schedule your session before this special is over!

Portraits make awesome Christmas Gifts as well as fun + unique Christmas Cards!

Amber + Josh - Freeport/Apple River, IL Wedding Photography

I had the pleasure of being a part of Amber & Josh's special day this past Saturday. They are such a sweet couple, filled with lots of LOVE! She had the most beautiful wedding dress ever, along with the flower girl{she looked like a princess}! We stopped at Apple Canyon for some outdoor pictures on the way to the reception, it was looking a little dark on the way-but thankfully the rain held off for us! And I have to say the wedding party ROCKED!! You guys were awesome and knew how to party! Here are a few favorites from their day.
