The sweet S Family - Edwardsville, IL Photographer

I think that most people think of me as "that crazy (but fun) girl with the camera". Since I was a small child I have had a camera in my hand and once I was a teenager spent many, many days and nights at school in a darkroom. I think kids love the fact that I am fun and make pictures easy - well, at least I hope I do! And grown-ups laugh at me as I roll on the ground with my honka camera to get "the shot". The funny thing is those make great portraits. So I make little kids laugh and grown ups think I am crazy, so what about the in between age. What do they think of me? Well, just ask Luke. He is 10 and I think I entertained him quit well. He was so stinking cute too! He just has one of those bubbly personalities and a big heart! But, if you know his parents then you know where he gets it from. His mom is one of the sweetest women I have ever met and one heck of a teacher if you ask me. She was Connor's first teacher and she is amazing. Luckily, Maddie will have her next year in pre-school and then maybe baby Zika 3 (not here yet!) a few years down the road. But enough about me! Anyway, I then met Mark, Lynn's husband a few months ago at the GSLS auction while we were volunteering together. Let me tell you, he is one fun guy! I can't wait to work with him again next year! His parents joined us for the session for some great family photos. My heart burst when I found out they have been married 51 years. Yep, 51 YEARS!!!! That is truly amazing. Their love is a blessing from God.

I had fun with you guys this evening and Luke, thank you for being such a sweet young man!
