They made their FIRST family pictures look so easy and effortless. I really can’t believe that they have never had family pictures taken because their kids were pros!! They were the best sports and they listened so well. We got their session done so quick and without any tears. They were funny and silly, they […]

I’ve known Bonnie and Dan since just after they were married, 11 years ago. There was a time, not too long ago, that they thought they might not be able to have any children. They struggled with infertility for many years and I too know the pain and heartbreak of infertility. I know how it […]

I’ve know Christine since before any of her kids were even born. My first memory with her was a her oldest daughter’s baby shower. I’ve taken their pictures for years and I’ve been at all of their special events. We spend most holidays with their family. I’m pretty sure we were only born to different […]

These are my friend Marie’s cute kids. We took family pictures too, but just like me she’s saving those for her Christmas Cards. {I’ll add them later} I am so happy she moved to Illinois a year ago so that I could be friends with her, and her family. EDITED: This is my FAVORITE family […]
