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!

It's that time of year when a team of very talented high school students work together day after day to create an amazing musical presentation at Crystal Lake South High School.  Only two short days until opening night on Friday, February 24, 2012.  This musical opened on Broadway in May 2006 and won the Tony Award for Best Book and Best Score.

March 2 @ 7 pm
March 3 @ 2 & 7 pm

Anthony & Tana were married on a beautiful day in July!  Recently we met for a family portrait session.  No children just yet, but they consider Buzz and Woody their family.  These two handsome Bassett Hounds are a year old and had a great time sniffing around the park.  I love photographing my clients through the different seasons of their lives.  Thank you Anthony & Tana!

The Wasilk Family | Crystal Lake Family Photographer

I don't know how she did it, but Beverly was able to get all six of her children and their families together for a portrait at Woodscreek Park in Crystal Lake.

    We had fun with some silly poses at the end!

    Beverly and her 13 grandchildren wanted to show us all of their muscles!
    We had a great session with lots of laughs!
