Nick - Class of 2013 | Crystal Lake, Illinois, High School Senior Portrait Photographer

We had a great time in downtown Crystal Lake for Nick's session!  Nick will be graduating from Crystal Lake South High School and starting his next season of life at the University of Minnesota majoring in Chemical Engineering.

He is bright, goal-oriented and an amazing young man!  I was thankful to have his Mom, Karen, join us because she is great at holding a reflector!  How do I know that?  Well, she was with me when I photographed her daughter's senior portrait session a couple years ago.

This is another family that I thoroughly enjoy working with and photographing the important events in their lives over the years!  I am blessed with such wonderful clients!

Tonya - Class of 2013 | Crystal Lake, Illinois, High School Senior Portrait Photographer

Fun, smart, beautiful and outgoing are some of the words I would use to describe Tonya.  
She was such a joy to work with and photograph; and I think we could have gone all day!  Tonya will be attending Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida majoring in nursing.  Her strong faith, caring heart and love for people will definitely make her a fantastic nurse!  Maybe she will come to take care of me one day when I am old and gray!  :)

Tonya's family is a wonderful example of why I love what I do!  I've had the privilege of being their family photographer for a number of years beginning with Brittany's senior portraits, next Lauren's and now Tonya's.   This summer I will be photographing Lauren's wedding!   It's a pleasure to walk alongside and photograph such important events in the life of their family!

Jake - Class of 2013 | Crystal Lake, Illinois, High School Senior Portrait Photographer

Jake is a senior at Crystal Lake South High School and has been very involved in Jazz Band. He plays the upright bass and brought it to his session for a few portraits.  I love it when we can incorporate a very special part of a client's high school years in the session.  For those of you who are pet lovers like me and Jake, you will understand why his dog, Wally, was a part of his session!  I have known Jake and his parents since he was born and truly enjoyed photographing his senior portraits!
