CENTRAL ILLINOIS SPRINGFIELD CHILDRENS PHOTOGRAPHER Perry | 8 Months

What a JOY it was to grab another session back from leave with this little sweetiepie! Her parents told me when they got to the studio that she was pretty much ALL smiles and giggles and they were absolutely right- Perry was so.much.fun!!  I also have to talk about this GORGEOUS flower backdrop a bit– I had it made well over a year ago to use both for business and for capturing our sweet girl in front of it.  My best friend’s mother made it (and MANY other items) for me and I would LOVE to link to a shop of hers but she does it mostly as a very side business and only really takes commissions from people she knows at this point– but if that ever changes I will sing her praises all over!  This was the first really official time I have used them wit a backdrop/etc and I just totally loved them! Some day I am going to rearrange them and play for hours because they are each movable and there would be so many fun stylistic options! Thanks SO much Tracy!

Anyways, I got them out for Perry’s newborn session because we photographed it at my house, but we never got to use them, and were so excited to put them up for her 8 month photos!!  Perry is just a doll, and I loved my time photographing her. And I can’t wait until her one year session (which I know will come so quick!) to include her parents in the photos again! Enjoy sweet little Perry (and all her personality!)!!

Those baby blues!!! I love this!! Tongue out, reaching for me!
She got upset for a little minute, but I still love this photo tears and all!

You're in the right place!  As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business!  I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).

I'm so glad you are here!  Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!  I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
