This is a sample corporate CK CLIP for Executive Transportation. Tim, with Executive, took 5 of their vehicles out to the airport for us to photograph. We then prepared the images and put the promotional CK CLIP together along with large wall portrai...ts for them to use at bridal shows - or anywhere else they want to advertise. The CK CLIP can be loaded on an iPhone, played as a DVD on a television, loaded onto a computer or onto facebook...or any other digital medium.

Give us a call if you're interested in learning what we could do for your business.

High School Seniors

It's been a great summer for senior high school portraits! We've seniors from all over the area and from Springfield as well. The ideas, clothes, poses and portraits have been awesome! Although the bulk of our senior portraits are taken in the summer, it's not too late to schedule your appointment. We have availability Labor Day weekend and into the school year as well. Here's a glimpse at only a few of the many senior portraits we've taken from the summer. As always, we love referrals and provide you with free prints for referrals...so if you know someone....send them our way! Thanks to all the wonderful seniors we've had the privilege to photograph this summer and over the years!!!

Sam & Rob

What a sweet couple!!! I had the honor this past weekend to be invited to photograph Rob & Samantha's wedding and reception. Rob and Sam met at Millikin University through friends. The closeness of their family and friends was evident throughout the day as their exceptionally talented vocalist friends performed at the ceremony and their aunt's cooked food and cake from the heart for the reception. Rob's soft touch to Sam's chin before kissing her and the look in Sam's eyes as she looked up at Rob talking at the reception say it all!!!

Congratulations, Sam and Rob!

You, you, you...it's all about you!

Seniors...It's the perfect time to book your session!

You're Personality + Our Artistic Style =

Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Happy 1st Birthday, Charlie!
It was awesome to photograph you again. Those eyes are to die for!!! You are too sweet!

A huge thanks to Paul Jamali, our new IC intern, for capturing me taking Charlie's photographs! I absolutely LOVE taking baby and children photographs and I think Paul did a great job of capturing that for me.

Thanks, Wendy! You brought Charlie in with such cute bloomers to cover his diaper! I had to order some for the studio. If anyone else is interested in some adorable handmade bloomers and other kids clothes, check out http://threeyellowstarfish.blogspot.com/.

Stevens Dance Recital Photos Online!

Okay, I attended Stevens Dance Recital this year with the intention of enjoying our two daughters’ performances and to possibly capture a few adorable photographs of them. While there, many moms asked me to take photographs of their children. They wanted to know if they could see and possibly purchase the photographs I had taken. Prior to the last show on Sunday evening, I asked Mrs. Stevens if she minded me taking and showing the photographs. She agreed and graciously allowed me to be in the sound booth during the last show to take action photographs.

Long story, short…without prior planning, I tried to photograph as many performers as I could, both during performances and breaks. I really wanted to document the recital for Dr. and Mrs. Stevens, their family and staff. However, I’m sure I missed some performers. My sincerest apology if I missed your child. I also apologize for the volume of photographs with the Monday 6-7 year olds and the Wednesday 3-5 year olds…our daughters are in those classes. Unfortunately, I lost battery power at the end of the recital and missed the awards ceremony.

It was a wonderful weekend!!! I don’t normally photograph events like this one. However, I loved documenting the recital, capturing the beautiful (and handsome) dancers and I met my objective to enjoy the event and get a few adorable photographs of my daughters…and hopefully a few of your child as well.

If you see one you like, you may order photographs of the event; the price is $12.00 per sheet pre-tax (check event prices on event site for more pricing details).
