Bickers Family {Conway, AR}

January 31st, 2010

These little kiddos are so special to me.  Hannah, Abbie, Josiah, Jonathan, Sarah Jo, and Joanna are my nieces and nephews from Arkansas.  I love going to visit them and teach them and do all the thing uncle things with them.  Being a uncle is just a blast!  One of the traditions we started about three years ago was family pictures around Thanksgiving time.  Well this post is this year’s family photos.  I have posted the family and individual photos.  Oh… if you can’t figure it the family is huge HOG FANS!  I am so lucky to be their uncle and I enjoy them so much.  I hope you enjoy watching them grow up!

Gabrielle Lynn {Rosewood Heights, IL}

January 26th, 2010

Little Gabrielle turned 3 months right before Christmas and I was able to capture some very festive photos that can only happen around Christmas time.  As I finish editing my eyes are drawn to picture number four of this post.  I love the simplicity of the baby under the tree with a big red bow.  What a simple shot but so beautiful.  Jared and Danielle you have a beautiful baby girl.  I can’t believe that a baby as small as Gabrielle changed the world for eternity.  That baby’s name was Jesus.  Jesus’ birth is why I celebrate Christmas because without Christ my life would be meaningless.  Thank you Jesus for coming into the world to save the us from our sin!

Nathan Lew {Brentwood, MO}

January 17th, 2010

Christmas has come and gone but I bet the memories of little 6 month Nathan will last a lifetime.  This session was a blast for multiple reason.  Reason one, the Christmas tree was up and all the decorations.  The house was absolutely beautiful. Great job Tiffany!  Reason two, all the session was centered around Christmas.  The backdrops, outfits, and props.  I love Christmas!  Reason three, I had an extra set of hands on this shoot.  My two year old daughter Ella tagged along with SJ and I to this photo shoot.  She did a great job sharing daddy with baby Nathan.  It was also fun to watch her interact with Nathan.  Tiffany and Kevan thanks for great shoot and I hope you enjoy this long anticipated sneak preview!  See you in a couple of months.

Ivester Family {Godfrey, IL}

January 15th, 2010

The Ivester family did a combo session right before Thanksgiving.  They combined family portraits with their son Wyatt’s one year portraits (click here to see his 6 month session).  We used several parks here in Bethalto and even Ashley’s parent’s backyard for some shots.  I can believe how this man, Wyatt, has grown over the past several months.  It is amazing to watch him walk and start to communicate with people.  It never gets boring watching little ones grow.  Ashley and Eric thank you for choosing me for your family portraits.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

Glitches…

January 15th, 2010

Now that the studio computer is back up and running and we don’t have any more glitches with photoshop you will be seeing more posts.  I am getting caught up from the end of last year.  Too many session and not enough hours in the day.  Enough whining about things…

Grab some coffee and enjoy the sneak previews from the last several sessions.   If you are a client waiting for your proofs, thank you for your patience!  We are back online and proofs will be coming quickly!
