Two-year-olds can be a challenge to photograph, but it’s one of my favorites. They are who they are, and there’s nothing phony about it! I loved the images from this beautiful family’s session:

This particular image is one of my favorites that I’ve taken in a long time! Definitely would’ve made my “favorites” post from a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve photographed a lot of senior boys this fall! Here’s another handsome guy we photographed in November.

I’ve photographed this little guy a few other times and I think he gets cuter every time!

This beautiful woman is the photographer for All Smiles Photography in Tampico, Illinois (she’s very talented–check out her site HERE). She was smart and hired someone else to take her family portraits, instead of using a self-timer and racing back and forth like I always try to do. They are such a sweet little family, and I was honored to take their family portraits!

Check out this gorgeous young lady and her stunning blue eyes!

We had a great time photographing this handsome young man at the the country club in Morrison.

We included some family shots, too!

How beautiful and in love are these two? They were incredibly sweet together. I love capturing the “in between” moments during engagement sessions.

Catch-up day 2…another stunning family at Rockwood State Park!

I’m playing catch-up here (the story of my life) so I’m going to keep my text brief in order to post more images. I promise to post daily for the next several days to catch up.

First off, a gorgeous senior girl I photographed a few weeks ago.

It was recently requested on a professional photographer’s forum that everyone share their favorite 20 images. I went back through my favorites of the last three years and came up with the following images. They are not all technically perfect, but they are images that stand out to me. Most of them I’ve shared here before. I know I only have 19 here, but these are the ones I came up with!
