You may not know this, but I’m a closet crafty person. I have a room full of scrapbooking supplies that I never have time to use, and an entire office full of assorted epoxies, rubber stamp kits, ribbons and jars of random stuff one might use to “make things.” They just sit and collect dust,...

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of Year Except When You Live In The Midwest | Rockford IL Photographer
I mean, it’s a windchill of -20. So, I just happened to be wandering around outside at 7 am on this blustery morning, where they are advising that no one leave the house except for an emergent situation. Yea, I’m so sure. It’s more like, the sun was shining so bright that it infiltrated even...
This Is Why You Have Kids | Rockford Il Child Photographer
So you can dress them like pumpkins and sit them on the porch with all the other pumpkins and say things like, “Uh Oh, where’s Paul? All I see is pumpkins?” Just in case you needed some reasons. I took these pictures of my best friend’s boy, Paul. He’s turning two next month. I think...
Happy Halloween From The Cats | Rockford Il Photographer
I packed up the imaginary children and headed out to the wilderness last week to visit my BFF. We wanted to get some pictures of her two year old before her belly bursts and she has another baby next week. I’ll be posting those soon. In between takes, I chit-chatted with the cats – one...

Senior Pictures That Don’t Suck | Rockford Il Senior Portrait Photographer
Ah, to be a senior in high school again… It was my pleasure to hang out with Mallory, and her supercool mom, and her even super-cooler dog, Payton. If there was ever a dog that could make me relinquish my hatred for dogs forever – it would be this guy. Mallory is editor of her...
World’s Most Difficult Photo Shoot | Rockford IL Child Photographer
You know what’s harder than photographing a two year old? Photographing a two year-old, who is due for a nap and paranoid of “buggies,” in 98 degree weather with 100% humidity next to a river that is infested with mosquitoes. Know what’s harder than that? Doing it without the child’s parents around ‘cus you are...

Creepy Abandoned House Part 1 | Rockford IL Photographer
Well. It wasn’t a typical 4th of July, but for me it seemed just about right. Part of my daily celebration involved stumbling across this random abandoned house and snapping a few pictures before I got so creeped out I had to hastily leave. And pray. I wandered around to the back, and noticed a door. Having no clue...
