Check out this sweet face from my shoot with Cole last week…LOVE IT!!!
Enjoy!!!
As you might imagine, this year has been one wild ride. The blog post could get a little long, but we have never felt so much love and support and I want to bring you all update on Chandler and the Fighting Illini. So many of you have taken the time to ask about how things are going and because it is what I like to do most, I thought I would share some recent images with you all. If you ask Chandler, he would probably be quick to tell you that this has been the most amazing, exhausting, challenging, grueling and yet very rewarding 9 months of his entire life.
His life long dream will come true this Saturday as he suits up as a Fighting Illini and heads to his first college football game as a player. It is going to be an adventure of a lifetime and he is proud to be a part of a fraternity with his teammates that no one can ever take away. Although, there are many new faces in terms of players and coaches for the Fighting Illini, this year, the tradition of Big Ten football remains the same and he is honored to be apart of it.
I can’t tell you the number of people from all over the country that have reached out to us and have shown love, support and wisdom. Thank you just isn’t enough, but thank you all for the role that you have had in helping my son achieve his dreams. Isn’t that all any parent ever wants for their children?
ENJOY!!!
It was so nice having Savannah come visit Camp Rantoul for Chandler’s birthday. 
Chandler’s roommate for the summer Spencer!
The warm up for Saturday’s scrimmage at Memorial Stadium.
A sample of the preparation that recievers go through. 
Chandler and both of his roommates from the summer. They are all southern boys at heart!
I can only shoot from the stands from now on…so thanks Illinois Loyalty for these up close and personal shots.
The team is nothing without fans. Thanks Illini fans for your loyalty. I didn’t take this shot either, by the way, but I love seeing these guys having a great time!

Okay this is going to be a long story all to say that it is a small world and you just never know when and where you will run into someone again.
I ran into a former bride and groom at an Easter Egg Hunt that I was photographing this spring for one of my good friends and loyal clients. I had no idea that the former bride and groom went to church with my good friend and that they had added a beautiful little girl to their family. Also, I had no idea that they had been receiving Christmas cards for years, from my friend/client, and had always wondered who her photographer was.
It took a little while, but we finally got our schedules together and I am proud to introduce you to Miss Ella. Congratulations Skipper and Karley. Ella is beautiful and so full of life just like I remember your wedding day being.
ENJOY!!!

I am so excited about this designer spotlight shoot since I had the opportunity to shoot Savannah, the gorgeous model, all by myself. You may remember her from the Rockstar shoot in April, but to be honest she was so popular that day that I never really got a chance to see her shine. She is a very talented model, and the sweetest young lady that you will ever meet. Last Saturday, we scouted out this amazing location for her shoot, on the campus of the University of Illinois, but we had no idea that it would be 95 degrees outside and that the scorching temperatures would make everything around us smell so delicious (NOT)! Anyway, she persevered and WOW does she make my job easy peazy!!!
It has been a blast shooting for Ann of Pretty Girl Couture this year, and I almost did a back flip when she pulled out these bridal pieces…Yippee!!! They are simply stunning and expect so much more in the future.
ENJOY!!!
