An Adorable Ballerina

Here is Kiera. She is a little doll. She is one year old and is as smart as can be. We are almost related to her because we photographed both her parents as Seniors in High School, and then photographed their wedding, so that makes us "almost" family! She was so much fun to chase around the studio. She makes the cutest little squeak when she is excited about something. Bethany and Jason are amazing parents. They are definitely bringing her up the right way.
I think she is going to be an athlete because she is so coordinated already. But right now, she is a perfect little model. It is going to be so much fun to watch her grow.

The Cutest Little Doctor

This is Hunter's second Halloween...well, it is actually his third! He was a tiny baby for Halloween #1. Then last year he was Superman. So, as you can see, there is a new Doogie Howzer in town!
Just look at him in his little scrubs. He is so adorable. He had a wonderful time celebrating by hosting the UCD golf team for a spaghetti dinner on Halloween night.




Kelly sure makes good spaghetti. No one needed medical treatment, so Hunter tossed his stethoscope away.

Danny and Vibeka

We visited Danny and Vibeka last week. We took them their Graphi wedding book. I think it really looked beautiful. We had good subjects! We wanted to deliver it to them because I wanted to meet their new puppy, Harley. She is about 6 months old and is a Bull Mastiff. She is a doll... a very BIG doll! Here are some shots Todd took.

The many faces of Harley.

The beautiful Cali

The whole family.

You can see what Harley thinks about family portrait time!

Caitlin and Dan

What a surprise when we received a call from Caitlin a few months ago. We hadn't seen her since she looked like this:


Here she is now, all grown up and about to get married!


Here is the "family shot" of Caitlin and Dan and the pups.

Here is Dan's favorite picture. Talk about a couple-in-love!!

We can't wait to photograph their wedding. They will be so much fun! And they are such a great looking couple! Now if we can just keep them from choking each other before the big day!

The Santoni Family

Here are some samples from yesterday.
Brooke, Charley, Kayla and Gianna are a very adorable family, as you can see. We met them at Brooke's parents' beautiful country home in Dixon for the photoshoot. It was a wild and windy evening, with a few rain drops thrown in, but everyone was up for braving the weather to get this family portrait session done! Baby Gianna just had her first birthday, and boy, was she a little doll! and Kayla, who is six, was a perfect little model. It was just so fun being with them all- we felt honored to be their "family photographers".











Baby Gianna gets acquainted with the resident scarecrow.

Gennie and Eric get Married

Todd and I had a unique way of celebrating our wedding anniversary this year. We got to photograph Gennie and Eric's wedding. So we spent the day in an atmosphere of love and celebration that kept us so aware of our own love for eachother. Gennie and Eric were a beautiful couple and their wedding was a perfect reflection of their love. They were made for eachother. And their friends were amazing and so fun to be around! The reception was really great and the fun thing was, there were 3 of our brides and a future bride present at the same time! That was fun. Maryann and Giovanni have been married 21 years!!! And they are still in love. I can't believe we have been photographing weddings that long!

Here is a collage of the day-you can click on it to view in a larger size:

Baby Rhyan

Now here is a cute baby girl! Her name is Rhyan and we just adored her! She was so amazing, she seemed to love the camera! She just smiled and laughed through all her wardrobe changes and placements on various surfaces. Justine and Adam are great parents and really have fun with her.
I loved the sparkle in her eyes. What a doll! It will be fun to watch her grow!
