Sterling High School Senior 2014

Oh Mary, this was just one of my favorite senior sessions of all time. We met up at her house to start our session. We drove around the area down to an older road where we caught some amazing lighting for her session. Afterwards we drove into Sterling and finished up our session. This girl has some serious moves! 

Beautiful and dangerous? I would say so!

What Children Dream / Sterling, IL Photographer

Jamie and her mini Kay

"When I was a child, my world was filled with darkness. I dreamed of finding my home in a land far away filled with magic. As I got older I realized so much, but I never stopped believing. As I watch my little girl grow, I see the magic in her eyes. I know someday she will ask me about the land she dreams of, and all I can do is smile. For then we will set out together and find our paths in a world where there is no hate, no anger, no lies, but filled with magic and love."

I met Taylor for the first time when we met up to go book her senior session. I felt so honored when she explained to me that her mom sent her to go to a local photographer studio, but wanted to work with me instead. Who wouldn't feel honored?! 

Over the next month we went over outfits and locations. We finally met up to start our session. She was the first person I ever met her stabbed herself with a blade of dead grass. Poor girl was getting bitten, stabbed, and tripping through her whole session. Even with all the incidents her shoot was amazing.

We even went out to her farm and photographed her and her adorable little puppy! One of my favorite senior sessions of all time! Thank you Taylor for choosing me to photographer your senior year!

Kaytlin Hamilton / Rock Falls High School

 Oh Kaytlin, what do you say about a girl like this? Kaytlin was such a joy to work with. This young lady had it all, class, style, and beauty. I met Kaytlin as she was finishing up her hair and makeup with our wonderful stylist Mel Karn of Rouge Salon in Rock Falls.As we set out on our photo journey, Katylin had no problem taking direction, posing, and having fun!

 During one of our consultations, Kaytlin mentioned she really wanted to have an old truck in her photos. I can tell you now, I don't have a yard full of old trucks outside my back door. So one thing I made sure of was securing us a location that had everything Kaytlin was looking for. I always want to make sure my clients have what they dream of for their senior sessions.
