The other day I was able to capture some sweet pictures of my wife and daughter for a mini maternity session.  My daughter Ella is so excited to be a big sister.  She loves the idea that she can take care of something and “be responsible”.   We are days from baby number #2 being here and I can’t wait to meet her and love her like only a daddy can do.  Thank you Lord for a beautiful family!

Gates Family {Bethalto, IL}

October 23rd, 2011

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Gates family.  This photo story has been several bittersweet months in the making.  As you may recall from my previous posts, Corby (aka Mama Gates) and her sister, Carrie both got to celebrate the birth of daughters within a year of each other.  Unfortunately, shortly after giving birth to baby Elise, Carrie discovered she had ovarian cancer and tragically lost her battle with cancer in January of this year.  As she had always wished, her sweet daughter Elise now became her sister’s child.  And so the Gates family  went from 3 to 4: Toby, Corby, Amia and Elise.  God has knit this family together through tragedy for His glory and it is an honor to be a part of their journey.

Here is a preview of the Cain family session.  These photos turned out great considering the weather for the day of the shoot… cloudy and rainy.  Thanks Cain family for being troopers and braving the elements!  Hope you enjoy these photos for years to come.

Florida beaches make great pics!!

June 10th, 2011

Florida beaches make great pics for weddings and vacation photos.  My family went to Holmes Beach, FL back in May to celebrate my brother Matt’s wedding.  While our whole family was down there we decided to take a family photo.  So early one morning we rounded up the troops and headed to the beach in coordinated attire, thanks SJ for the suggestions.   We took several photos to make sure we didn’t get any walkers in the background.    And here are the results of much patience and a beautiful family!

FYI… Drury Studio will travel to Florida for your destination wedding or family portraits!  I highly recommend Florida for a vacation as well!
