Kristin






Kristin was great fun to photograph. She was up for trying out a variety of poses both comfortable and seemingly awkward (yielding awesome pics). Her clothing choice and posing reflects her fun-loving personality.

Jessica







Senior photos are unique to each person -- showing their personality. Jessica was full of smiles embracing the moment. She was a pleasure to photograph.

Chad, Julie, Jack & Addie



































Chad and Julie have a new little girl and a proud big brother. We had a great time watching them interact and say "cheese". Jack enjoyed being tickled and ensured Addie was also looking at the camera. Children are such a joy! :)

B.J. & Laurie










It was such a joy to be part of B.J. and Laurie's wedding. They beamed as we took pictures unable to stop smiling and laughing. The dancing at the reception was a blast. Congratulations B.J. and Laurie we are so happy for you!!

Tyann and Thomas







Tyann and Thomas were married on a beautiful summer day. Both were just glowing with excitement and happiness. They were easy going, really enjoying the day.

Eugene & Rosa













Eugene and Rosa’s wedding was a delight. Family and friends surrounded them as they committed their lives to one another. We weather was warm, but this did not stop the couple from stepping outside for some intimate shots.

Eugene and Rosa wanted to do their photos before the wedding. We set up a “special moment” where they saw each other for the first time. This allowed them to spend some time together before the ceremony and the busyness that happens after.

Baby Izu













Izu smiles readily as we say his name. He laughs as he rotates on his bottom hiding from the camera and looking back in anticipation of the flash. We laughed with him; playing peekaboo behind the camera to get his attention. He was such a joy to photograph. Babies grow so fast!

Tim & Sarah





Tim & Sarah chose a sanctuary with a beautiful stained glass making a terrific backdrop.









Sarah's dance with her father was full with emotion. The love they have for each other was evident. This moment almost had me crying (as I did when I danced with my dad). I wonder what the groom was thinking as he watches.

Sand was poured together to represent their union. The mixture of colors against her white dress are stunning. This is tasteful take on the unity candle concept. I suppose this would make an equally interesting house decoration, or perhaps, better than a slightly burned unity candle.

Senior Portraits



Nick was relaxed and open to trying many different poses and locations. He spends time paint balling and brought his gun to the shoot. This picture has interesting lines and the color finish make you feel like he is about to shoot. Thanks for having us do your senior pictures and the best of luck in whatever is to come!


























We feel that senior portraits are about capturing all aspects of you. This includes extracurricular activities, hobbies, and interests. We shoot at multiple locations and in different outfits for you to remember all the things you loved in high school.

Eugene and Rosa


We have known Eugene and Rosa for quite some time. They are a fantastic match. We've see them walking together around town simply enjoying each other's company as they are in these pictures taken at Patriot's Park in Greenville, IL. We look forward to celebrating with them in shooting their wedding this weekend. Congratulations you two!

Engagement pictures...get acquainted





Complimentary engagement shoots are great for getting to know each couple. This also gives them the opportunity to use the pictures at the ceremony, reception or in the newspaper.

These pictures were taken at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. This is a great location providing a diversity of pictures due to architectural buildings, nature, and art. It was terribly hot that day, but the couples look fresh and comfortable.
Here are some of our favorite moments.

Family Time






We shot this family out in the country of Greenville, IL. The children were a blast to photograph. We enjoy doing family shoots allowing families to interact with one another and get comfortable with the camera creating some adorable pictures. Here are some of our favorite shots.
