Raegan is FOUR! - Quad Cities Photographer

This beauty is FOUR!  We learned our lesson these last few sessions with her that we needed to do the session somewhere that she wouldn't freeze and with the cold weather, we decided indoors was better!  As usual, Raegan's mom brought Raegan's favorite things and we just had fun!  We even stepped outside at the end of the session for a couple of minutes.  This girl is gorgeous and my camera loves her!

Enjoy this Sneak Peek of Raegan!

















Thank you so much for your patience with these images, Caitlin and Ryan!  I can't wait for you to see the whole gallery!

Phenyx ~ 3 Weeks New! - Quad Cities Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting and spending the morning with this incredible family to capture some moments of their newest addition, Phenyx!  Isn't he just a DOLL?!  Wow...those eyes!  He was such an amazing baby, too!

I love capturing real life during newborn sessions.  It's those real moments that sometimes as the years go by, you will cherish and miss so much!

Here is a Sneak Peek of the Rodriguez Family and their sweet baby boy, Phenyx!















Thank you all so much for welcoming me into your home and spending some time in front of my lens.  Phenyx is just perfect and I loved photographing him and all of your family!  I can't wait for you to see all of the images!

Family Love - Quad Cities Family Photographer

I can't even come up with enough words to express my love for these people!  This is my sister and her 3 incredible kids...and I may be biased because they are my nieces and nephew, but really, they are extraordinary kids.  It is one of my greatest honors being their aunt.  They are kind and loving and funny and smart and giving and gorgeous to boot!  They will do big things in this world...each and every one of them.  This includes my sister...she is all of those things as well and dedicates her life to kids in general.  She was born to be a mother and a teacher and I've always looked up to her.  Sometimes it's hard to photograph family...plus, it was COLD in these pictures!  This session was fun though and nothing with these kids is hard.  My heart wants to burst just looking at these images!

Enjoy your Sneak Peek, Cassie!




Cassie and her baby, Ayla...





Cassie and her middle, Nalani..





Cassie and her big, Brigg...






And I'm pretty sure Cassie will kill me for posting this picture because she probably didn't want to have it taken in the first place, but I don't care.  She needed one of herself because...hot mama.  Just sayin'.




And this shot is the epitome of these 4...a perfect representation.  And yes, Cassie is 97.9% of the time laughing...it's a great way to be! :)


I love you Cassie, Brigg, Nalani and Ayla more than words!!!
