Thanks gorgeous. We have received your request.

Uh oh. We'll take the blame. Pretty please try again.

Welcome to Indigo Photography

After stalking a variety of other photographer's ABOUT pages, I know exactly what I'm supposed to say here.

Except I can't really tell you that I picked up my dad's camera when I was eight and decided that capturing memories was my life's ambition. In fact, I don't even think my dad had a camera for me to pick up. Of course, I'm just assuming based on the serious lack of photos of his daughter.

So. That's out.

I also can't tell you that I studied photography in college because I didn't. I was too consumed gaining life experience in the area of wrong relationships to be concerned with anything productive.

But here's what I can tell you: photography started as a hobby for me and it has slowly developed into a passion. Soon I started getting requests for photo shoots and I have loved the opportunity to create memories for people that aren't... uh... lame.

I do not have a studio and work on location in Rockford, IL and surrounding areas. I offer family and portrait sessions including: bridals, maternity, engagements, headshots, seniors, and children. If you should have any questions, or need a late night counselling session, please refer to the FAQs or use the contact form.


This Post May Or May Not Contain A Cute Baby | Rockford IL Photographers

Two things happen when I take newborn photos.

1. I convince myself I’m never taking another newborn’s photos.

2. I convince myself I’m never having a newborn of my own.

Eh, but then I go through the pictures and I’m reminded of how squishy and cute they are and I change my mind.

I tried, I really tried to just edit a few of these for a quick preview but I couldn’t stop myself! That is just one cute family. Although, when you have a newborn and a toddler you are lucky if you get any pictures with everyone in the same room!

Jo - So cute!! the 11th one down is my favorite...so precious. what an adorable little family.

I don’t even want to talk about how behind I am on my photography posts! I’ve been too busy taking pictures to actually write a blog, so I guess that’s good… Took these last fall right when the leaves were crispy and colorful – looked amazing with her hair!

It’s sad how much I wish it was fall already. Ok, I’ll shut up.

The Train To Nowhere | Rockford IL Photographer

Dear World,

I apologize that I have kept all the good looking people for my friends and didn’t leave any for the rest of you. They just won’t stop being so hot.

Sincerely, Brit

**Went out and did some headshots for my friend Jo. We hadn’t done a photo shoot since waaaaay back when I first got my camera. We found an abandoned train and I was digging the lighting in there!

bff - gorgeous!!!!! Love the dress, the eyes and my goodness Jolene you are so so pretty! Great location brit and loved the pic of Jo hanging off of the train.

Me - You got some FANTASTIC shots! How on earth do you just FIND things like abandoned trains and blue doors? I love her, she's gorgeous, and her brightly colored dress stands out so well against the brownish background. Great job, lady!

Birch trees, more specifically.


Sorry, I have a thing for mid-laugh pictures.

Fun Fair? Fun For Who? | Rockford IL Child Photographer

So…. I helped my friend out with her work booth for a local fun fair. We made cotton candy and snow cones all day and I took pictures. Let’s just say when kids are at their maximum sugar levels and there are clowns and magicians and toys surrounding them, they aren’t very excited to stop by for a casual portrait. Not only that, I was dealing with FLORESCENT lighting… so, I tried my best… and there were some CUTIES!

Oh that’s your 17th snow cone?? Well, who could say “no” to that face?.. not me!

Would you just take a look at these eyes?? Was it weird I was trying to follow her around all day? No, not with eyes like that.

Somebody help me. The cuteness is more than I can handle.

This would have been me… hiding behind the cotton candy…

He was checking me out all day….

Absolutely precious…. He was so excited about the magic show.

youroneandonly - oh my gosh i just want to run into that fun fair and steal those lil cutties...jk po pos jk... great shots brit!

Alex | Rockford IL Senior Portrait Photographer

Winning the high school football state championship is kind of a big deal.

In case you didn’t know.

So we had to make sure to get some jersey shots along with Alex’s championship ring. I’m kinda happy emerald green is one of his school colors. Cus you know, that’s my favorite color and seeing it just puts me in a better mood.

 

Me - ... and such a fabulous ring-shot it is! Very pretty. :)

Oh man. Well, we had all of the “H”s working against us on this one: heat, humidity, high noon sun. Ugh. But, we made it work and lost about ten pounds in sweat during the process. I even ran into my dad randomly walking on the street down town… never know where you’ll find that guy. I realize after seeing these, you might be thinking, “Does this girl know how to smile?” Well, in fact, it was hard to get her not to smile, however, I really fell in love with her serious pose and so I coerced her into a couple.





Me - Cute! It is SO hard to shoot when the sun is high, you did great! I think the second from the bottom is my favorite.
