{Sneak Peek - Miss E & Daisy} South Elgin, IL Child Photographer

Today I got to work with one of my favorite five-year-olds... always supportive of my business dreams, this family has repeatedly stepped up to help me out. Thank you, Vicky... I love working with E. She's so sweet and beautiful. I just *had to* share one really quick...

{Young Men} - Elgin, IL Family Photographer

These four young men hold a very special place in my heart, as does their mom... I spent a long weekend with my sister and her four boys in the upper peninsula of Michigan and had the opportunity to take a few quick photos of the boys after church. A last minute decision to detour by the beach on the way home resulted in a memory for my sister and her family. Soon, these boys will be towering above their mom... reluctant to give - or receive - hugs. But, she'll always have this moment.

{Quiet} - Elgin, IL Child Photographer

A photograph can be deceptive... capturing a moment that looks serene, quiet, reflective. Dressed in her Sunday best, Lou was actually digging in the mud and throwing it as far as she could reach. Her dress was dragging through the water, her hair damp with sweat. I captured her perfectly... and beautifully.
