Jamie & Bret ENGAGED - Alton IL Wedding Photographer

Hi there!  Happy Friday!  I thought I would brighten up this rainy day and post Jamie and Bret's engagement session.  How adorable they are...  You know when you meet people and you have the same  sense of humor and you just click?  That is Jamie and Bret.....  They get my one liners, I get theirs....we just mesh.  Love it :)

Gorgeous aren't they?

Love it.... :)

See you both in October :)

Christine and John- Belleville IL Wedding Photographer

Hi there!  Happy Spring!  Even though my allergies are killing me......and I have to keep my dog from chasing/eating all the new wildlife in our backyard.....I love Spring :)  Red Buds, Cherry Blossoms, and Bradford Pears....oh yes.   Baby birds, baby bunnies, anything with fur.....oh no.

I recently did an engagement session with the lovely Christine and John.  It was freezing cold outside.....but Christine and John were troopers and never complained.  Even I admitted that I couldn't feel my face a few times.....  But when you have an awesome adorable couple, it makes it all worth it :) 

So adorable :)

Hello blue eyes....

See you both in May!

Harper Rae - Belleville Illinois Family Photographer

Oh baby fever..... :)  I have been photographing so many teeny cute squishy gorgeous babies in the past couple weeks....I love it.  I know I have said this during my sessions, but photographing babies is very therapeutic for me.  Yes it is hard work and yes they can cry and yes thay can sometimes projectile vomit and leave little messes for you, but dang it.....it's cute and I love it.  I'm obsessed with their teeny tiny hands and fingernails, the noises they make when they sleep, how they look at me so intensely when my camera clicks, and the look on their parents faces when they hold them.  Melt....absolutely love being able to capture these little moments.  :)

Here are a few pics of the gorgeous Harper Rae.  Some of you may remember her parents from their maternity session.  Miss Harper Rae is here and she's already showing off her keen fashion sense. :)  Enjoy!

Ya I totally want that tutu.... :)
