Imaginate Photography is based on the vision to create what can only be imagined.

I am an on location, natural light and studio photographer.  I strive in using my skills to capture more than “just a photo”.  My drive and passion allows me to captivate the eye through the emotion that exudes from my work.  I have a silly, creative, fun-loving, and
sentimental personality.  I truly love photography from all aspects and look forward to diving into every session.  I am a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America.

I love creating and preserving memories to last a lifetime.  My photography is about capturing the innocent, candid and treasured
moments that we all experience and hold dear to our hearts.  I love working with people and developing a personal bond & relationship with my clients.  If someone can reflect on each emotion felt during that moment in time, through the shot that I have provided, it fills my soul with as much joy as my clients feel.  I love hearing what you would love to see in your photos, what you want more of, and also what you’re not looking for.  Getting to know you as a client, helps me deliver what will meet your personal expectations.

Each & every session will be different and unique in its own way.  I anticipate this, and accommodate these situations.  Having
subjects who are comfortable with me is my goal and I do everything necessary to create this environment.

I have been so blessed by the grace of God and am so thankful for this opportunity to do what I love.  I enjoy spending time w/ my family and friends and treasure them dearly.  I reside in Normal, IL with my husband and two beautiful daughters.  Kaylor is 7 and Ashlyn was born January 30th, 2009.  I enjoy reading, learning new skills, and anything involving crafts and making things.

Thanks for getting to know a bit about me, and I look forward to meeting your portrait needs!
