Email Issues

It has come to my attention that some people are not receiving emails from me. Please make sure to have me added as a contact and check your junk email to make sure it didn't end up in there(that happens very often). If you have emailed me recently and have not heard back from me-please try again or call me. I don't want anyone out there thinking I am ignoring them if they didn't receive a reply!!

New Finish on your Portraits

Has everyone noticed the new finish on your portraits? I have switched to a beautiful Linen finish on all of my prints now. So far everyone seems to love it! It gives your portraits a more high end look to them(which is the look I am going for in my business) vs. a print you can get printed anywhere. Another fun option available is a metallic finish-it is hard to describe in words-so you have to see it in person to know what I mean. This finish is available as an add-on, so it will cost a little bit more, but it is worth it.

Happy New Year!!

Yeah, I'm a little late-but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I have been out of the studio most of these past 2 weeks, so if I haven't returned your email or phone call yet-I will get to it as soon as possible. I have a lot of new stuff and changes coming up this year-so make sure to check the blog often so you don't miss anything!

Clint & Amanda

What a way to end my wedding season-a wonderful couple and a beautiful wedding! The wedding was in Stockton and the reception was at the Best Western in Dubuque-that was the first time I had been there and the place was amazing. It was a little chilly to do outdoor pictures-so we made the most of what we had inside the church. Here are a few favorites from the day.

CONGRATULATIONS AMANDA & CLINT!!!

Christmas is right around the corner!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I did-although I was sick most of last week with a sinus infection and strep throat-the meds kicked in just in time for me to enjoy my turkey dinners! If you are waiting on proofs-please be patient-I should be caught up by the end of the week/beginning of next week.

I just wanted to let everyone know there is still time to get pictures in for Christmas. Orders placed through Sunday, December 14th will be guaranteed Christmas delivery. After that, there is no guarantee. Rush orders/overnight delivery is available at an additional charge if needed.

October Wedding

This wedding took place in Elizabeth with the reception in Galena. We stopped at the tower outside of Elizabeth and Grants Home on the way to the reception for some outdoor pictures. I love the wedding party shot we got out there. I asked each couple to do "something different" and they all did-very unique!! Congratulations to both of you!

So much in LOVE!

Meet Amy & Troy. This was the sweetest couple ever-I could tell from the day we did their engagement session! She looked beautiful and I loved her bridesmaids dresses(I wish this style was around when I got married!). The day was a little chilly so we didn't get much time to play outside-but the church had wonderful light to work with.
