I got to visit the Central Valley of California this Christmas when I visited my husband Jay’s family. His family owns a large property in the country with orchards of plums and grapes, as well as an area bordering the riverfront. We helped watch little Allygan and River, and frolicked through the fields and dirt roads with the family dogs right at our heels. It was a child’s paradise!
We shot this late in the day, and struggled with rapidly decreasing natural light, but with the right camera settings and a little photoshop magic, the images came out looking lovely! Congrats to Dustin & Liz on your Engagement!

I had such a fun time running around with the Montgomery’s, making memories and goofing off. What a beautiful, happy family.

Baby Conway did an amazing job for his 3-month photos. We get a lot of great shots of him on the blanket his mother, Rachel Montgomery made him. He was all smiles until he got sleepy and pretty much crashed, as you can see in the photos. Which is perfect because after all, what is a baby shoot without a few sleeping baby photos?

I am very grateful to the Reyes Family for the opportunity to use my new lens for the very first time for their Family Portraits at a local park in Fairview Heights, IL. What a gorgeous evening, the grass was green, and the family energy was contagious. It was an honor to see a couple with so much obvious love for their little boy, and one another.

Caden and Baby Ella were so much fun to shoot! We got to play at a local park and feed bread to the ducks. We even saw a few turtles swimmin’ around.
