We're Different...

Yep...you're probably noticing that we are not your average photography studio...

We Print Stuff

Leaving digital images in a file on your computer or on a flash drive in your desk drawer to be forgotten or lost is so last season. Yes, you can purchase digitals from us, but we actually specialize in printed products. We offer everything from albums and wall art to acrylic blocks and metal prints. We do it all and we're pretty darn good at it! Want to see them for yourself? Schedule a no-pressure consultation and come check them out!

We Travel

We love, love, love our hometown of Charleston, Illinois, but we also love to travel to other places! So you want to stick the beauty of our town, we've got you! You want to explore the rooftops of Kansas City buildings (like above), the desert of Las Vegas (we've done that!), or my personal favorite, CHICAGO, we've also got you! Just a day trip or a weekend away...we love going everywhere! Want to talk about it? Message or call us and let's chat about it!

We Create Experience!

We limit the number of sessions we take so we can give you a memorable experience. Do you really want someone who just throws you in front of the camera for an hour without knowing who you are? We strive to weave your personality into your session. We also like to be sure you're covered in every aspect of the session. Looking for special outfits? We can give you suggestions. Hair and makeup? We know a few people! Don't trust this pivotal time in your life to just anyone. You are special and you deserve the best! Call and see how we can make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you!

About Me

Hey all! Thank you so much for stopping by my website! While I also photograph many other genres including headshots and families, I specialize in High School Seniors. Like two Seniors, two sessions are never the same because every Senior is unique with his or her own story to share. I am beyond blessed to capture those stories to be told for years to come.

 

 We're a family affair. While photography is my passion, my family is full of artists and you'll often see them helping at photo sessions. My mom, Anne, will toss your dress ten times to get it right while my sister, Megan, notices the most random hair out of place. My husband, Josh, is the greatest carrier of heavy things. He doesn't say much, but he loves hearing all about you as much as I do. We pray on our way to every session for you to have fun, for us to capture images that express who you are, and for you to have an amazing future wherever life takes you. 

​

When I'm not working, you can find me watching any of the One Chicago shows with my husband and cats, getting ice cream with my mom, or co-hosting the podcast, "Now You're Aware" with my sister.
