Payton ~ 9 days old. What a beauty!

A friend of mine recently had a baby and was nice enough to let me experiment with her little gal. This was my 2nd newborn shoot. Let me tell you.... Payton was so good and is so beautiful!!! I can't believe they make them this little. Mom let me experiment with hair bows and headbands so I did just that! I know I posted a lot of pics but she is just too sweet for me to narrow it down to just a few!

Madi - Pretty in Pink!

You have got to check out Madi!!! What a gorgeous little lady! So extreme sweet too! She loves the word "Alligator". Every time her mom and dad said the word "Alligator" she cracked up laughing. Check out the tummy bending laugh below! LOL....


A photo shoot is not complete with a few tears shed! This little lady had it down pat..... bury that face into your dress! Will steal your heart every time! Too cute!

Even though we had so many adorable shots of Madi, I think this one is my favorite!!!!

Thank you to Madi and her parents for driving all the way to Springfield for your shoot. I had a great time spending time with Madi!

A day at the park with A and U.

My very first clients ever!!!! A year ago this April (when I was getting the word out), this wonderful family took a chance with me and let me take their little girl's picture! She was one of the cutest little girls I have ever seen and her family was wonderful! A year later I get an email from this family again (who has grown two feet) if I would like to do it all over again. Of course I was just THRILLED!!!!! I couldn't believe how much "A" had grown in one year..... and her brother "U" was an absolute doll! We had a great time at Washington Park and they both did wonderful!

Love this little "smirk" on "A"s face. Her mom said she is quite the Diva and I think this picture is proof of that!

Those eyes and that smile are the best!

Out of all the wonderful pictures we took this one has to be my absolute favorite!!!! It is such a sweet little "giving you some love" picture.

Tutu's, headbands, and flowers..... Oh My!

These little sweeties are my best models (besides my 3 boys and nephews of course!!!). They do such a great job everytime. They were the first to try out my new props...... tutus and flowers hair clips.... and boy did they "work it"! We had a great time. It was a beautiful, warm day!

We tried to get one of all three of them, but just didn't work as far as getting smiles, but don't they still look so adorable!

We brought back those smiles with a splash fest in the water fountain. What fun!

I know I have posted this picture 3 other times on my blog.... but it is so STINKIN CUTE!!!!! I just can't get enough of it.

Sneak Peak ~ Madison and Morgan

Here is a little Sneak Peak of a photo shoot I had a couple of days ago. We used my new tutu's and hair clips! More to come later this week!

Bottoms up!!!! This picture cracks me up everytime I see it!

Spring is here and I'm LOVIN IT!!!!!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I am ssssooooo glad winter weather is behind us and spring has sprung! Nicolas and I had to get out of the house for a while, so we took a quick trip to Washington Park in Springfield, IL. It is so beautiful there. Their flowers are amazing. Right now all that is bloomed are the spring type flowers, but as we were there they were getting things ready to plant the rest of their flowers. In just a few short weeks, the whole park will be blooming! Washington Park is very famous for their flowers and a very popular place for photo shoots. I think these pictures say it all!

I had to throw this picture in here. Nicolas was bugging me the whole time to "take a picture momma", so I let him and this is the result! Pretty good huh!!! Maybe a future photographer in the future?

It's All About Family!
