Hacker Family Session | Nikki Jean Photography | Sterling Sauk Valley Area Photographer

I am SO late on this one! 

But I JUST realized I never actually PUBLISHED this post! Lol, yes that's right I wrote it and never published it for my clients! So here we are, meet the wonderful Hacker family! I was first contacted by Mandy shortly after I did a few photos for her friend, Sara. We booked her session, went over outfits, and then our day was set!
Or was it? We get there and Dad isn't there yet {scheduled before he was off work, lol} and someone decided they didn't want to wear anything besides their favorite sweat pants and top. So we let sister throw leaves on him while we were getting sit up!

As most can see I don't normally do family sessions, just because they use to scare me! Well after working with this family, I realized I think I might like it!

Goodness, this session was a long time planning! Her mother booked her session at the start of September, we talked and planed a few things out, then we had to change the date, as it was suppose to rain. Well it never did, but it did on the day we changed it to! So finally we moved it to our final date, and it was just icky outside! Freezing, cloudy, and almost dark out. Can you tell though? Not at all! She was gorgeous and she rocked her session to a T!

Larissa contacted me about her senior session, and she sounded so excited on the phone I knew this shoot was going to be amazing! We met up out at White Pines in Dixon, IL and we went all over the area. From grass, to water , to even climbing the highest trail just to catch the last of the sun. It was a pleasure getting to know this young lady through out our session.

I swear this year is just rocking! I got to work with the lovely Kayla yesterday and just had a blast! Between frolicking through the grass, and jumping all around, we did get in some amazing images! During our session, we talked about everything from family, to after school plans. Kayla is headed to get her license in Cosmetology! Look out everyone we just might have a another hair stylist joining us! I have to say it was a pleasure getting to know this young lady! 

Paige | Rock Falls High School | Class of 2014 | Sterling and Rock Falls Senior Photographer

This year I have been so blessed to work with some amazing Seniors! One of them being Paige. She was such a joy to photograph. You would never know by looking at her that our day was freezing, and cloudy! She did such an amazing job on her session. Thanks to Brittany for her amazing hair and makeup, her session was perfect. Paige will be working hard in college next year, reaching her goal of becoming a teacher. She is such a doll!

Birthing / Sterling IL Photographer

Jayden Schultz 

A few weeks past, I was invited to attend the birthing of one of my clients second child. As a photographer I have photographed all types of sessions, but this one was the one session I cried during. Jennifer was admitted into the hospital as she was going into labor, with in an hour she was giving birth to a beautiful baby boy.  

At 12:05pm, weighing in at 7lbs 40oz Jayden Schultz was born. Here is his story.
