I am honored to have been asked to photograph this amazing couple!  We had scheduled their session for a couple weeks before but had to reschedule due to all the rain we got!  However, I think it all worked out perfectly because we were blessed with a GORGEOUS spring day!  We started off their session in their field beside their house.  We then went down the road to Brody's grandparents house and got some pictures with the cool old barns there!  I LOVED the old sheep barn (see picture above!).  Then we finished off with some pictures at Dolan Lake.  Here are some sneak peeks of their session... :) 

I had the honor of photographing this sweet couple over the weekend!  They braved the cold so we could get some adorable pictures.  They are so sweet together - Alexas just kept smiling through the whole session!  And they brought their adorable puppies too (I love critters!).  Here are some highlights from their session... :)

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful couple last weekend.  These two are naturals in front of the camera and made my job so easy.  They are so easy going, and you can tell they are just crazy about each other.  It was such a perfect day when we shot their pictures.  The trees had just started to turn, and we finally got a day that actually felt like fall.  I am already so excited about shooting their wedding next fall!  Kelsi was telling me some of their ideas and colors - it all sounds so gorgeous!!  Here are some highlights from their session... :)

If you follow my Facebook page or my blog, you know Miss Kaitlyn wanted to divide her senior pictures up seasonally - we got through the first three seasons (spring, summer, fall) but we never really had a winter!  That's Southern Illinois for you lol.  She asked if I would take some pictures of her and her boyfriend, Cord, before they went to prom instead.  And of course I agreed - I love them both!  Here are some highlights of their prom session!  They both looked so nice all dressed up! :)

I had a great time over the weekend taking Colton and Alyssa's engagement pictures.  They were so fun to work with, and they made my job super easy!  Plus they brought along their sweet little dog - Sadie - who got to be in some pictures too!  It turned out to be a beautiful day - a little windy but a beautiful day nonetheless (you never know with March in Southern Illinois lol).   I am so excited about photographing their wedding next month!!  Here are some highlights of their session... :)

Now that it's Facebook official, I can share this session from a couple months ago.  Jonya contacted me about doing a surprise maternity reveal for her husband, Scott.  This was such a fun session, and I truly do feel honored to have been asked to be a part of it (and be the first to know about Baby Lockart!).  Here are some highlights from their session!  

I got to work with this sweet couple back in November!  They wanted these pictures to be a surprise for Christmas cards so they asked that I waited to post them until after the holidays.  This was such a fun session, and they were so easy to work with.  And did I mention they brought along Rusty who I swear is the cutest dog ever!?!?  Here are some highlights from their session...

I had a blast photographing Kara & Joey's engagement session!!  These two are easy to work with and you can tell they are just crazy about each other.  I loved how excited they were!!  We'd take a few pictures and Kara smiling would say "This is so exciting!"  She is so cute and is going to make a gorgeous bride!  I am so excited about their wedding next month (my first winter wedding!!).  Here are some of my favorites from their session... :)

I got to photograph the Hall family over the weekend.  Kaci contacted me a month or so ago about taking some family pictures for them, and I was excited to get to work with this sweet family.  Here are some highlights from their session.... :)

I got to photograph this sweet couple's engagement session on Saturday morning!!  What a great way to start my day!  It was warm, but a beautiful day nonetheless.  The couple decided to meet out at Dolan's Lake.  We walked all over the grounds looking for perfect picture spots (which is not a hard thing to do - soooo many pretty spots out there!).   Here are some highlights from their session...  :)
