Kewanee IL Child & Family Photographer | The Winner

After playing phone tag with the winner of the Giving Back session, we finally talked to each other rather than a voice mail last night! I'm happy to announce the recipient of the Giving Back session is 

the "M" Family nominated by Kim DeClercq

She had nothing but amazing things to say about this family and how they all, even the 9 year old, are always thinking of others first. Kim's kind kind words and the way she described this family just drew me in. I instantly felt connected to them. 

I must say a huge thank you to everyone who sent in a nomination. If I could, I'd give everyone a session! I plan on doing this annually so renominate next time. And Thank You!

Kewanee IL Child & Family Photographer | My Man

I had such an amazing 2012 with being crazy busy and I am beyond grateful! One thing I didn't get done much during the fall rush was taking some new pics of my crazy little man and his hilarious faces! He is after all the reason I started this photography journey and I need to make sure I don't loose sight of that. He's just the best and he makes me sublimely happy!

He was pointing at the "barking spiders" on my head. If you don't know that's slang for farts! I love little boy humor!

Focus is a bit off, but it makes me giggle because he was worried about 

his hair blowing in the wind and this was him checking it!

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge | Best Face of 2012

I had a hard time picking just one favorite from 2012! But I kept coming back to this photo of my niece. She's such a gorgeous little thing and she has no idea!!! I love her slight smile and that yummy light behind her!
