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,...

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...
Child Abuse? Perhaps | Rockford IL Newborn Photographer
So, I’ve neglected this blog a bit. Part of that is cause it’s been winter and I’ve not been doing as many photo shoots. Part of it is cause I’ve started incorporating my photo shoots onto my other blog Blunt Delivery. Here you can read my full dissertation, including the scientific breakthrough that I made...
A Day In The Life Of A Two Year Old | Rockford IL Child Photographer
Guys, okay. I realize it has been a wee bit since I updated this blog. I’d say I’ve been too busy, but I don’t think Wheel of Fortune counts as ‘busy.’ Depends on who you ask. But I have been busy with assorted projects including the new magazine I’m working for, planning an upcoming charity...

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...
Goodbye Fall | Rockford Il Child Photographer
As much as I love winter and candy canes and Santa and snowy bliss and Kenny G Christmas TV specials… there’s just something about fall. I feel that my favorite season passed me by this year without hardly even waving goodbye. I will miss you fall and all your pumpkiny, apple orchardy, hoodie-wearing goodness. Oh,...
The Little Legend Of Bagger Vance | Child Photographer Rockford, IL
I first saw this little boy at church and I was awestruck by his adorableness. Please pay no attention to my usage of non-existent words -on this website I’m not a writer, I’m a picture taker. Get it straight. I immediately presented his mother with one of two options: I am either stealing your child...
Cutest Baby Alive | Rockford Il Baby Photographer
Well, well. You’ve stumbled upon my very first photography post! The actual website will be up shortly, but for now this is all you get. On the first day of third grade, I saw a girl - who looked alot like myself - wandering around at recess. I asked her what she was looking for and she said, “Susie.” I replied,...
