Kalee and Aaron - Married

Kalee and Aaron were married on September 26, 2009 in Gifford, IL. I have been looking forward to this wedding since the day I met Kalee. She has such a fun personality and was looking for something different. I love how she loves photographs, and was willing to do whatever needed to get some unique and awesome images. 

From the beginning to the end, this wedding was a blast. When you have such a sweet couple as Kalee and Aaron - paired with a rockin' wedding party, a tractor ride, moonshine, and country roads, you knew it was going to be a good time. Enjoy your sneak peek!





Bride on a tractor = hotness!







I caught them stealing a kiss on the ride - awww :)


LOVE IT!

You guys are so cute :)

The whole bridal party on their tractor ride. So much fun!




Kalee and her dad did a very untraditional dance for their father/daughter dance. They started dancing to a slow song, but not long into it did they break down into some fun, disco variety. We got to see some Michael Jackson moves, the robot, disco, and a whole ton of other stuff. It was an absolute blast to watch the two of them dancing along. As I stood up to walk across for a different angle, I looked up and saw that almost the entire reception hall had crowded around the dance floor, clapping and smiling. Talk about a way to get the party started! Kalee and her dad nailed it. Best father/daughter dance I've seen yet!!!



Check out the air the groomsmen got in this one! Love it.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day! You guys were awesome, as I knew you would be.


Joel - newborn

I love this family! They are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. I had the honor of photographing Amariah and Marcus' wedding last year, and was so excited when I got word that Amariah was expecting baby Joel this year. He is, by far, one of the cutest little boys I have ever seen- especially rockin' that mohawk. Don't believe me, just check out this adorable family!









Amee - Senior

Amee is one of my 2010 Senior Reps. I was so excited to work with her, as both Amee and her mom have a great sense of humor. I knew the day would be a lot of fun, and I was not disappointed.  We started our photo journey on the University of Illinois campus and ventured onwards to Lake of the Woods. Driving to Mahomet, I could see the large thunderheads rolling in and I was fearful for a moment that the session may be cut short, but Amee was a trooper and we finished just as the sky opened up and started raining. Awesome! Check out some of my favorites. 





I love this location - and this pictures. Definitely one of my favorites!

Rockin' the white shirt in front of the graffiti - totally works Amee! :)






You so rock! Thanks again!

Cassandra - Senior

Meet Cassandra...a 2010 Senior. I met Cassandra out in her home town of Arrowsmith, IL. It was my first trip to the small town, and I loved it. See, I'm a country girl at heart and I find comfort in the small town living. We ventured around town for Cassandra's session and we never had to go too far to the next stop. I had a lot of fun photographing Cassandra as we laughed about her awesome hat! See a few of my favorites below.








It might just be me, but lovin' the lens flare!

You so rock the hat! :)
My fav


A senior session is never complete without your best friend....love it!
