The Brookins Family | Austin TX Travel Session | Lake County IL Family Photographer
Last weekend I traveled to Austin, TX for sessions. Ummmm, lemme tell you – I LOVE this city. Speaks to my animal loving, vegan heart in so many ways. I love how friendly everyone was! But lets not forget to mention how much FOOD this town has. I would need a full year to get to every single place I wanted to eat at. It is also such a beautiful area of the country. But, I am not the biggest lover of hot hot heat, so I will stick to my Austin visits in Spring. ha!
The Brookins family was my first family of the night. Can’t get anymore picture perfect than them. I loved meeting and getting to spend some time getting to know them. Take a look at some of my faves from our session! I wish I could transport this scenery to Chicago!

This past weekend I lead a family photography shootout at the reset conference that was in Louisville Kentucky this year. I have attended the conference since the second year and have taught since the 3rd (if memory serves me right). We had the most gorgeous family who so graciously drove from mid Kentucky to Louisville to be our family models! Thank you so much Davis family for lending us your sweet faces for that evening. And thank you to all my attendee’s for coming to my shootout! Take a look at some of my favorites from the night!
Take a look at this gorgeous momma!! I love doing a headshot for Mom’s at the end of sessions. Us momma’s never get to be in front of the camera. Katie Davis runs Kat’s Eye Photography in Danville Kentucky. Thank you so much again to her and her family for this magical night! Muah!

I was honored to be asked by the Central Illinois Professional Photographers group to teach a family photography workshop in the Bloomington/Normal area. This past Tuesday I made my way down there! The group is ran by Holly Birch Smith, Kristin Darling, and Emily Donohoe. 3 amazing ladies that I originally met at the Reset conference a few years back. I can’t say enough good things about them and the entire group I got to work with on Tuesday. Also, the group, along with the family we were photographing, were all SUCH troopers for dealing with the 90% humidity (or so it felt). Needless to say we were all dripping sweat by the end! Take a peek at some of the highlights from that night. I should add a few behind the scenes as well once I get those!

I just got back from an amazing trip to the Denver area for a workshop/shootout with my pals Tracy Joy Photography and Cherise Kiel Photography
I had the opportunity to teach with a GORGEOUS local family that totally rocked it. The momma happens to be a local photographer as well! Check out her work here. Thank you to all the attendees and the models who participated. You are so appreciated!!
Right after I was done shooting the family portion of the shootout, a huge dust storm rolled on to the mountain and we booked it out of there. I have never seen wind so strong!
Check out some of my favorites from my portion of the shootout!

This past week I got to explore Denver and the surrounding areas. I headed out there for the Dear Photographer ‘Out of the Box Collective’. While it was fun to meet a few new creatives; I loved spending the time with my two photographer girlfriends who traveled with me. Colorado is breathtakingly beautiful. I hate to leave every time I visit. We visited several national parks, drove in to the mountains, ate lots of good food, and got to photograph in some amazing areas.
I even got to step out of my comfort zone and do some self portraits. Big thanks to my gal pal, Carole of Carole Lynn Photography for taking this one for me!
