Good morning! What a week! Whew! It has been busy. I have been shooting, editing, and doing some behind the scenes things. The life of a photographer never stops, but I love it! I was asked to show some behind the scenes things so I want to hop on here, and show you.

I’ve been a professional newborn photographer for 11 years, will be 12 in December! I absolutely love what I do. I love being able to meet new families, being apart of their journey, and watching them grow. I adore watching little ones grow and seeing their personalities shine through. It is truly amazing.

Being a Edwardsville Illinois photographer, I get to meet kids of all ages. I photograph families with older children and young children. I specialize in family photography as well! I enjoy photographing families and having those interactions. Seeing the family connection, watching the emotions grow, and the love. Showing this in my work is very important to me.

Whether I am shooting outdoors or in studio, I try to have my assistant take behind the scenes photos so you can see what I do. Not all the time do I have an assistant, but when she is there I make sure to have her be on her game to get the shots.

I tend to edit true to color, as it is my style. I love color. I love black and white photos too but color for me, is my personal preference. I have a in home studio. My studio is filled with props and backdrops. I also off digital backdrops as well. But we will save that for another post.

Here are some behind the scene photos from various sessions. I am so happy I can show you photos of me doing what I love!
