Nine Favorites from 2017

It's the end of 2017, and what a year it has been! We have inhabited in our new studio now for the better part of the year and we are enjoying every moment of it. We are so grateful to our devoted clients and it has been such a thrill to share our new space with them. Like my kids, I love each of our clients images equally, but what is a year end without a best-of list? Here are a few unforgettable images from 2017.1 - This senior brought style and football skills to his session, we loved this GQ-worthy pose so much we have a canvas on display in our studio.2 - We love a baby when they can sit up well but not quite crawl away yet, and this little guy was here at a perfect time to sit in our new Mid Century shell chair.3 - Kids in all stages deserve to be celebrated, tweens included. We love that moment when they can let go and share a sometimes elusive laugh for us to capture!4 - This family has done traditional portraits for many years, and decided to bring in the kids personal interests to their session this year. A memorable one and probably the loudest we had all year! ;-)5 - This pups owners wanted to capture him while he was still in his puppy state, before he grows into the lovable giant he is sure to become.

Every time we stop by to see progress, we feel giddy with excitement. We are days away from concrete floors being poured and woodfloors being installed! Oh, and that air conditioning, need that in August for sure. More updates soon!

We've had some gorgeous weather these last few weeks in Central Illinois, so I swung over to the studio to take some "in progress" photographs to share with you all.  The superstar of our Mid Century Modern inspired building right now is the beautiful exposed wooden beams and wooden ceiling you will see in all the photos.  We can't wait for the glass to be installed all around.  It's going to be our little "treehouse"!  More importantly, we can't wait to enjoy it all with our clients and community! - Andria
