Shawnale and Jerry reminded me that there are so, so many cool places to shoot in downtown Peoria on Sunday! Now, we did have to fight off at least two other pro photographers around where we were working but no matter, these two took it all in stride. And they did the most important […]

Just a normal, everyday bridal show. Folks talking to wedding vendors. We were meeting with lots of brides (and a few grooms) when this guy suddenly yelled “Krystal” and proceeded to give Krystal a big hug. Now, as a matter of course, this is not unusual for us. But usually I recognize the person — […]

Tour Dewitt 2016 attracted nearly 200 riders once again, taking advantage of a beautiful summer morning to tour the countryside of Dewitt County. The mix of riders from Clinton, Decatur, Champaign, Bloomington and other area cities had choices of nine, 20, 40 or 62 mile-long routes beginning and ending at Clinton’s United Methodist Church. As […]

Ten teams from all over the were gathered for the annual May Days competition to see who would be best at moving a ball from one side to the other. Okay, it’s a bit more than that! Probably easier to show than say — so I’ve posted the images from Saturday’s competition along the images […]

Well, beside the absolutely horrible headline I wrote for this, I hope you enjoy a few photos of the members of Clinton’s Dance Extreme taken from their show at May Days on Sunday! I only caught the ending of it — or I would have shot more — dancers are always a treat to photograph and […]

We very much enjoy the creativity of the folks we work with — it melds with our own creativity and lets things get very cool. Ed visited Donald at his six month photo shoot and found both mom and dad had been very busy coming up with some cool props. We’re not “proppy” photographers as […]

Dave Jackson and a whole slew of folks working with him made the trip out to an open field and broke ground on a whole new store this morning. I’m not going to write about all the little details of the ground breaking. I’ll leave that to folks at WHOW’s Dewitt Daily News and the […]

We have been blessed this past year with the number of families and newborn we have been able to photograph! Now, frog’s aren’t normally the first choice of baby gifts, but because Rockwell was one of the lucky few that were born on leap day the hospital gifted frogs to welcome the leaps!  They also […]

There is something so cool about awaiting a new baby that I have to find something cool to do with mom. And Andi, one of our brides from a few years back, allowed me play with light, stairs and a bit of material to celebrate her maternity. This is the moment before the moment. . . […]

We love newborn sessions! The thing about our photography is we capture moments in time, and for the most part it’s happy moments: weddings, engagements, birthday milestones and, like this week, a newborn addition to the family. We wanted to share a few photos from a very recent arrival to our area, welcome to Andi — […]
