| Allie Black 1 Year |

Meet little Allie!  She will be turning one in just a few short days and couldn’t get any cuter!  That gorgeous smile got so big when her Daddy came outside with us!  She was ready to take off walking with her Mommy’s hands for balance and loved swinging!  We heard lots of “ruff,” “uh oh,” and “da da” through the session, such a happy girl!  This weekend she gets to celebrate turning the big 1 with her family!  Happy Birthday Allie Gator!

It’s so much fun getting to work with a classmate and create something unique that embodies what their child loves with their whole heart!  It was such fun working with my classmate to create these great softball t’s for her daughter’s softball team!  She came to me with an idea and after sitting down together, bouncing some ideas off of each other, we came up with this final design!  The girls are sure to look sharp taking the field with this great look, good luck ladies!

I got to spend a warm Saturday afternoon with a family that I hadn’t seen in what seems like years!  I had the honor of growing up in church with the kids and it was wonderful to see them and their families!  We shot at the always gorgeous Lockport Bridge on a day that the weather cooperated and the sun was shining!  The kids were adorable and handsome and were great all day!  Thank You all for a wonderful day and getting to catch up!

Another wonderful project for the Henry County 4-H Program!  In our county as I was growing up it was common to get together at fair with members from all of the clubs, it was a friendship that would start young and has lasted into adulthood!  Even today you see it with the young members, growing together with other club members and learning from one another.  Henry County has been very blessed with a fantastic educator whom has taken the program leaps and bounds and above and beyond and allowed the individual clubs to keep that individuality while encouraging growth, new experiences, and learning.  Along with many of the other clubs in our county, Gerald Busy Fingers has been around for a long time and with the hard work of all of it’s members, it’s sure to be around for many more years to come!

Recently you saw Paige & Saul’s Save the Dates & Wedding Invites up on the blog, today you see their programs.  These were so much fun to put together!  8×5″x11″ card stock folded in half for a four sided program gave plenty of room for everything they wanted to include about their special day.  The graphic pictures doesn’t do the final product justice as they turned out absolutely gorgeous!  We get to celebrate their wedding this weekend and a beautiful day I’m sure it will be!  Congrats Paige & Saul!

| Salvaged Creation |

Starting a small business is nothing short of a feat.  And I’m always glad when I can help a new business get off the ground with a fresh custom logo!  A great new business is going in not too far from me and I was honored that they chose me to help them create their look!  Salvaged Creation is based on the premise that 100% of the lumber used in their items will be single sourced by them.  Recovered, milled, solar kiln dried, and 99% of the lumber will be salvaged and not harvested from trees that have been killed due to wind damage, lot clearing, and insects.  They are also using old barn wood and beams in their products for that great vintage look!  They were looking for a simple logo that would give them instant recognition and become almost a trademark for them.  The logo also needed to be something with not too much detail as they want to turn it into a hot brand and burn it into the pieces that they sell.  Such a great idea!  If you get a chance, stop on by once they are up and running and check out all they have to offer!  So honored to have a small part in this amazing business!

| Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy |

I don’t very often post many personal things or talk about what is going on in my family life, but I wanted to take a moment to share a little about my Grandma.  She is one of the main reasons that I know how to do what I do, how to be creative, and how to express that through an art form.  She has been there for every family member, taking care of everyone, cooking, cake decorating, woodworking, landscaping, you name it!  She’s a jack of all trade and a master of every single one!  For the last several years she has struggled with Severe Peripheral Neuropathy, Spinal Stenosis, and the pain of associated with each of these struggles.  Luckily in our area these is a center called Sara’s Garden that does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, where many local community members and some that come from great distances have received helpful treatment.  We were lucky enough for her to be accepted into the program and she started treatments today!  She already felt better after just one day and can’t wait to keep going.  Below is a link to her story, and if you feel guided to donate, our family is more than grateful, but kind thoughts and words are just as wonderful!  Take a moment to ready her story and the history and mission of Sara’s Garden, it’s a truly amazing story and the work that they are doing is simply fantastic.

| Bre Sharp Senior Invitations |

Graduation season is quickly approaching and it’s always fun when when of my seniors comes back and wants me to create something special for their invitations!  I love getting to combine both photography from their session and a custom graphic design for their invites!  Typically I will do three different layouts and they will pick their favorite, but Bre and her family loved all three and wanted to split their order so they could have some of each!  For Bre I went in three different directions, one to reflect her love of sports, a classic rustic look, and one a bit more formal where she could show off her favorite shots.  I love that with graphics and invites it is a blank canvas and every design comes together to fit that wonderful senior that I was able to capture so many wonderful shots of!  And the final prints turned out great!

Bre will be celebrating her graduation from LCHS with her family and friends on May 23 with some yummy food, great conversations, and a wonderful time out on their farm!  Congrats Bre and thank you for allowing me to be an important part of your senior year!
