An Incredible Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

This crew...they were incredible.  They welcomed me into their home and onto their beautiful property and treated me like they had known me for years.  What a great group of people!

I have had the pleasure of photographing Tammy and her family a few times now and was thrilled last winter when she said she wanted to do a large group session with her extended family.  I knew that they would be a great group if Tammy was related to them!

And what a great group of kids!

And the two that started it all.

Good people, I tell ya...

Let's start with this beautiful family...

I look forward to having them in front of my lens every year!

And though the boys aren't huge fans of getting their pictures taken (what boys are?!), they always cooperate!

And how about this gorgeous group?!

They were so fun to photograph, clearly in love and so genuinely nice and personable.

Loved photographing them as well!

And again...SUPER cooperative kiddos!

And a daddy with his daughters...I am in love with this...I am in love with how much you can see the girls love their daddy!

And as if two incredible families isn't enough...there is a THIRD!  And they were a blast to photograph...adorable family, full of energy and smiles!

And yet again, my camera loved these two kiddos!

It's no wonder these girls have such amazing families.

Just look at them!!!

It was a FUN group for sure!

And these ladies other halves...that is a trio of studs if  I do say so myself. ;)

The original Bonifas Family...

Look at how blessed these grandparents are!

I can't say enough about how welcomed I felt in this family's home.  They are just a really great group of people who I am blessed to have gotten to meet and photograph.  The fact that I get to meet such incredible people is my favorite part of this job and I drove away from this session with a huge smile on my face.

I couldn't wait to get home and get the images on my computer to see them!

Thank you all for being an absolute pleasure to photograph...my cheeks hurt from smiling while I edited all of your images!

Monroe: 5 Days NEW - Quad Cities Newborn Photographer

This little bug is almost 2 weeks old already and she is an amazing baby!  I photographed her at just 6 days new and she was a dream...she has remained that way since!

And the smile...SWOON!

She is one happy girl!

You just don't get much more gorgeous than this little one!

Chubby cheeks for miles...

And you all know by now that I LOVE me some baby feet!

Her adoring sister, Eden loves her so much!

She is such a great big sister!!!

All three girls posing for their portrait...even Zoey is a great little model!

Snuggles with Mommy and Daddy...

This is just a great family who I am blessed to know and love.  I can't wait to photograph them as their girls grow and change!

Sweet Monroe scored big time when God gave her this set of parents and such a sweet big sister!

I think they probably feel like the ones who scored though! ;)

A perfect fit to round out this already incredible family.

These moments with your infant are so fleeting, it is such a pleasure to freeze them in time for my clients.  To be able to photograph Sweet Monroe's journey into this world, from Samantha's maternity photos to Monroe's birth to finally being home and with her family is just so awesome!

Thank you Samantha and Adam for again allowing me to capture these moments for you!

The Berkey Family - Quad Cities Family Photographer

I was excited to meet beautiful Violet and photograph her for her big birthday coming up!  She is clearly adored by her parents and rightfully so...she is a DOLL!  So sweet and easy going!

You can tell she is her Mommy and Daddy's world...

And they are hers!

She has such a sweet disposition.  I just loved having her in front of my lens!

And this girl has STYLE! :)

I love little one's chubby hands!

It was such a gorgeous night to photograph such an incredibly gorgeous family!

Sweet Violet needed a little appetizer before her first taste of birthday cake...

Then it was CAKE SMASH TIME!!!!

However, Violet wasn't so sure about cake...or the mess...or the taste...

Back away everyone...this is my cake!

A little smashing happened.

There was a little mess.

And that's about as wild as it got!  Sweet, clean Violet just wasn't a huge fan of cake...period.  She looked pretty adorable covered in it though!

This family was a dream to photograph...a dream, I tell you!

Their love for each other and their baby girl shines through!  They are just a great family...you can tell in a very short time of being in their presence and it was such a pleasure to meet them and spend some time photographing them!

Thank you guys for being so amazing to work with and for sharing your beautiful family with me and my camera!  It was so fun to spend such a lovely evening getting to meet you all!
