Kyle Johnston's Senior Portraits

I met Kyle and his family in Naftzger Park for a family shoot/senior portrait shoot. After a few with the family, Kyle and I continued on with guitar and letter jacket in hand. After spending a while down in Old Town, we went to the studio to photograph him in his baseball uniform and a few casual shots. Hope you like what you see so far Kyle! Thanks for being so easy going!

Anna Wilson's Senior Portraits

I had the pleasure of working with Anna on a beautiful afternoon last week. She and her mom were fun and friendly. Anna had a great variety of outfits and we had fun scouting out some fun places to shoot. Her makeup was so pretty and accentuated those beautiful eyes she has. She even had her toenails painted to match the aqua/turquoise jacket but I'm not sure we really captured the tie-in! Oh well, it was fun trying!

Ellen Bergkamp's Senior Portraits

Ellen and her mom, Kathleen, were so laid back and easy to please! We had fun driving around Old Town alleys and finding perfect spots to photograph Ellen to compliment her great clothes! I decided to take advantage of the sun going down to take some shots in a field with the sun glistening on her hair. What fun! I can't wait for session 2!

Kayla Bailey's Senior Portraits

Kayla and her mom came all the way from Chanute for her photo session. Kayla is a beautiful sweet girl. That natural beauty made it very easy to do this session! Kayla and Amy, I hope you are pleased!

Ashley Murphy's Senior Portraits

I had a great time with Ashley. She included her boyfriend in a few of the pictures so her parents and his parents were there also.
We walked all around Old Town and the park. She has to be one of the easiest seniors I've photographed!

Ashley & Kevan's Wedding Day

I had a blast doing Ashley and Kevan's wedding last week. Kevan is hysterial and I love the way he makes Ashley smile! Ashley's very talented mom made her shoes, her gown hanger, bracelets for all of the girls, Ashleys purse, and more. They were beautiful and I was in awe. We loaded the trolley to go to Old Town and the little park there to take some group photos and fun photos. Then Ashley said she wanted to go walk in the fountains at Warren Square - before the wedding! I thought..."now this is a laid back bride"!!! We had a great time before returning to Petroleum Club for the ceremony & reception. Ashley's darling nephews Maverick and Gage drove a Cadillac Escalade down the aisle with the rings, and the couple exchanged wine instead of a more common unity candle. The evening was full of fun and enjoyed by everyone. The highlights included Kevan dancing with is 98 yr old grandma, and of course, also with his beautiful bride!

Sarah and Jerry's Wedding Day

It was perfect weather for Sarah and Jerry's wedding day. I was surprised to see the new wedding coordinator at St. Thomas is a former bride I photographed 10 years ago! After the ceremony, we stopped at Bradley Fair for a few more photos before going to the reception at Resurrection Catholic Church. Sarah was beautiful, the cake was very unique, and the sweet treats included chocolate covered strawberries!

Kirsten Chamberlin Senior Portraits

Kirsten and her mom came to the studio yesterday afternoon. She had several great outfits and a gorgeous prom gown! I couldn't resist photographing her in her gown with her basketball! We took a few minutes to go out to the sunflower fields before sunset, then back to the studio to finish Session 1. Can't wait for Session 2 in Old Town later this week!
