Skyler and Hillary were married on September 28th, 2019 at the First General Baptist Church in McLeansboro, Illinois.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day!  Everything ran smoothly and was just perfect for this sweet couple!  I have know Hillary since she was little (our dads have worked together for years), and I am so happy she found a man like Skyler.  You can tell these two are crazy about each other!  I was so honored to been asked to photograph their wedding day! :)

I had the honor of photographing this sweet family last weekend!  We went back to the Weaver's cabin which has been in the family for generations.  Here are some sneak peeks of the Richards/Hart/Weaver family! :)

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous senior a couple of weeks ago!  Miss Mackenzee is such a sweetheart!  I definitely miss having her in class this year!  We started out her session at the high school with volleyball pictures in the gym, followed by some pictures uptown, and ended out at Dolan's Lake. Here are some sneak peeks from her session... :)

I had the honor of photographing one of Ham Co's finest - Brandon Peters!  Brandon is such a sweet kid, and I wish him all the best throughout his senior year and with whatever comes his way in the future.  I met Brandon at his grandparents house.  It is a gorgeous country setting with multiple old barns, buildings, and a pond.  Afterwards, we went down the road to Turner School, an old one room school house where Brandon's great-great (I think?) grandma attended school (which I think is really cool).  We then went to depo in Dahlgren and then out to his dad's house to finish his session.  I'm looking forward to part 2 this fall! :)

Brody and Adrieanne were married on August 31, 2019 at Saint Patricks Catholic Church in Enfield, Illinois.  I am honored to have been asked to capture memories of their special day!  I went to school with Brody so I have known him for years, and I am so happy that he found a girl like Adri.  Adri works at the preschool where my children attend each day, and she has been nothing but sweet to my babies!  She has such a big heart, and Brody is a sweetheart himself.  These two are definitely the perfect match!  Their wedding was absolutely gorgeous down to the smallest detail!  Everyone was calm and laid back, and it really was a perfect day for this sweet couple.  Here are some highlights of their big day... :) 

Miss Jayde entered the world on August 14, 2019 at 12:23 PM.  She weighed 7 pounds 9.5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long.  This sweet little lady is absolutely beautiful, and has her whole bunch, including her proud big sister, wrapped around her little finger!  I love the pictures of Quinn giving her kisses and playing with her sweet little toes!  I am honored to get to work with this sweet family again!  Here are some highlights from Jayde's newborn session... :)

Oh Miss Reace... I have loved this sweet girl since she was a freshman, and it's crazy to think she is a senior this year!  I was honored to have been asked to photograph her and had so much fun at her session!  She did a fantastic job (and is seriously so photogenic - she made my job easy!), and the locations she chose were amazing!  I really am having trouble picking my favorites!  Here are some sneak peeks so you can see for yourself... :)

I had the honor of working with this beautiful young lady, both as her teacher and later as a photographer.  Miss Olivia is such a sweetheart - she is very smart, diligent in her work, and most importantly cares about other people.  I am really going to miss her in class this year, but I am excited to see what the next chapter has in store for her.  She told me she wishes to pursue a career as a neonatal nurse which I think will be the perfect profession for this sweet girl.  We started off her session at Dolan's Lake and ended it on the football field at our high school.  Without further ado, here are some highlights from her senior session... :)

I had the honor of photographing beautiful Miss Camryn!  Camryn is such a doll and is so down to Earth!  She is always so sweet and is a big animal lover (hence the pictures below)!  She is also incredibly smart.  We have had lots of conversations throughout the year about events in history (things that I didn't even know about) and geology (which is something she is really passionate about).  I really am going to miss her in class this year, but I know without a doubt she is going to do amazing things as a senior and after graduation.   Without further ado, here are some highlights from her session... :)

I had the pleasure of photographing one of the sweetest little boys last week.  Bode was so laid back and happy (seriously I wish my own kids were this easy to photograph lol)!  Here are some sneak peeks from his adorable session... :)
