I love seeing all of the love on the blog, and comments from the readers.. So I’ve been doing some thinking to figure out how I can show my appreciation and give some love back to YOU! Awhile back I mentioned an idea, but I wanted to expand on that even further… Soooo, here are...
Seems like just yesterday that this little guy was just a newborn… Now he’s growing, and has such a sweet smile. He may have been just thinking how silly the photographer sounded while whispering to him, but I’m certain his smiles are just simply that sweet. Thank you for another great visit, H family!
This little guy… yet another client I’ve watched throughout his 1st year that has had my heart wrapped around his little finger. How could I not be? His sparkly, blue eyes, big smiles, and sweet laughs.. I’m sold! You can see other sessions of Mr. S here, here, and, here.. From newborn baby: To a...
This week’s macro shots stem from (hehe… pun intended, yeah yeah, I know I can be corny) the roses that my hubby brought home for our oldest daughter & I.. I absolutely love everything about flowers.. The details, colors, smooth textures.. There is such a silent grace about them all. Happy macro Monday!
I had the pleasure of meeting this family, and what a sweet, sweet little boy they have. So full of energy & spunk.. and lots of giggles & silliness too! I had a ball playing.. er, I mean photographing Mr. T and his mommy & daddy too! Thanks so much, B family.. It was a...
I have been so, so honored to continue to photograph these cutie pie kiddos for the few years. It has been amazing to watch them grow, and I always enjoy time photographing them. They are definitely full of energy, but it’s pure fun, silly energy.. I love it! Thanks, M family! =)
We celebrated my youngest daughter’s 1st birthday a couple of weeks ago. Hard to believe a year has flown by, but when I think about the last 365 days of pure joy my heart has felt, it does seem possible. Happy 1st birthday, miss Ashlyn!
Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day. You know what to do…perform a few random acts of kindness! Almost any kind deed will do. I recommend you perform kind acts on as many people as you can. This is a favorite day for many people and groups. People like the idea of showing a...
One aspect of photography that I’ve always loved is macro work. I love all the little details, that can often be overlooked. Art really is all around us.. As you can tell, florals are a fave too =) So, I’ve decided to start sharing some of my macro work here on the blog.. These...

I know while it may still be way too cold outside for us to imagine it being spring, it really is right around the corner! (at least that’s what I’m trying to convince myself when I’m wearing 4 layers of clothing..lol) So here are some color scheme & clothing ideas to get you in the...
I was contacted by a local published author, Jesse Petersen, in need of new portraits for her books, websites, and editors.. It was so much fun working w/ her and I love how her images turned out.. She was looking for mysterious & somewhat edgy, and I think we captured that.. Here is a little...
So if any of you are like myself, and get all giddy about technology, upgrades, etc. then you’ll love this new feature as much as I do! You may have already noticed it… Look down! Well, to the bottom of your screen on the blog, that is.. That bluish-gray bar is what I’m referring to…...
I recently enjoyed meeting the owner of Shoe Shoe Baby, Natalie Galligan. I loved hearing about her new, local boutique and was excited to feature her as a vendor on the Imaginate blog. I will be working w/ her soon to do some shots in her boutique, and stay tuned for an exciting womens’ event...
In October, I had the privilege of photographing Ben & Lauren’s wedding in Champaign, IL. They had a beautiful ceremony, and while it was a tad chilly, the weather held out for us to slip outside for a few portraits. I knew from Ben & Lauren’s engagement session, that it wouldn’t be difficult to capture...
