Christmas from a Client

Today was an amazing day! 

Let me give you a little back story to this post. About two years ago, I met a lovely lady named Kayla while purchasing a purse from her. Over the next two years we grew close, and became friends. During this time I met her mother Patty as well. I've been photographing Patty and her family for almost a year and a half now! I first started photographing Kayla and her husband Jesse { Whom by the way will be on the blog soon as well! }, then I was booked to photograph Patty's whole family, and while I do that to do her youngest daughter's senior photos. 

Well, now I just wrapped up her youngest senior session, and working over the next year with Kayla and her family as they start to grow their family! Now skipping back to today! Today I received a visit from Kayla who was dropping off something her mother Patty had asked her to. As it turns out, Patty bought me a WONDERFUL Christmas gift! I now have an amazing new camera 

Epiphanie Bag!!

 I LOVE my new bag! Thank you so much to Patty and the Rood family for such an amazing year of photo shoots, and laughs, and thank you for my lovely gift!

Jenna | 2014 Sterling Senior

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!
