Pretty in PINK!

Just one from today’s session. I’ll let you in on a secret. Pink is my FAVORITE color too!

What a BEAUTIFUL woman!

I had such a great time photographing this mom! I can’t wait until the BABIES get here! Neither can she!

Sharing the LOVE

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope your day is as jammed packed as mine. Between sessions and editing I will be hanging out at my daughter’s class party. Me, I am responsible for putting the treat bags together and coming up with the game. Typical MOM stuff. This is the custom card that my daughter is giving out to all her friends at school. Hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day! Peace and Love!

Readers’ Choice (part 2)

No your eyes weren’t deceiving you. I also won in the Best Blog category! It must be my day for second place, but, again, I am cool with it. I never dreamed my blog would become so popular. Thanks for voting for me!

Readers’ Choice


Thank you to everyone that voted for me in the State Journal Register’s first ever Readers’ Choice Poll. I was so excited to get second place. After being named BEST photographer for 2007 in the Illinois Times, I will admit I was hoping for first place, but I will take second place with a huge smile. Congratulations to Terry Farmer. We do such completely different types of work that I really consider second place way cool!
