Kewanee IL Wedding Photographer | Welcome to the Family


I was very touched when my brother-in-law and his fiance chose me to do their wedding photos.....they didn't have to! I was thrilled to be part of a such a special day for our family. My husband was the best man and our son was a very loud and rowdy ring bearer. We loved the whole crazy experience. The ceremony was gorgeous! It was at the Quad City Botanical Garden, thanks to Heather's boss taking pity on the what would have been very cold and potentially rainy outdoor ceremony! It was such a stunning setting for a wedding. I loved it. The bride was glowing and beautiful and the reception was a blast. Not often does the photographer get to sit down and eat a big meal and have some drinks while "on the clock". It was a very enjoyable day.

We greatly appreciate you both including us all in your day. It was such a wonderful experience. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your future and all the happiness in the world! We love you both.

Kewanee IL Child & Family Photographer | A & A


Boy Boy Boy Boy Boy! These two little boys are such......boys! They were just too busy being boys to sit and take a portrait. But I loved it. They played football, chased each other, did a little beating up on each other, found bugs and turned into super heroes! The second they turned into super heroes, they captured my heart. I am a sucker for it. Even though they wouldn't sit still long I think what I was able to capture are some pretty special moments and how much fun it is to be a little boy. Thank you so much.

Kewanee IL Child & Family Photograhper | Mitchell Family


These two beyond darling little girls were some of my first non-related practice models. They helped me get some practice and are still just as cute as can be! This time around I felt more confident with more experience and they were just so sweet. They were having a blast running around with their parents and you could tell how in love with each other this family is. Mom and Dad are a great example of how staying calm and not trying to force a picture can make for some amazing moments. I had a lot of fun with them and I could not be happier with the results. Thank you for giving me some practice back then and thank you for coming back a year later!
