I had the honor to photograph the grand opening gala of the new Cedarhurst Center for the Arts in Mt. Vernon. It was beautiful, and everyone there was so friendly and seemed to be having a great time! My job was to photograph each couple as they came in, and also to capture photojournalistic candids and details of the entire evening. I brought my sister-second-shooter Alisa with me, and I'm so glad I did, because she has such a great eye for the details! Here are some of my favorite shots of the event: This one below is me doing my job! I loved the band! It looks like everyone else did too!! :)Thanks to Lindsey for recommending me to Beth for this job! It was fun and different than the type of photography I am usually doing, and a great experience for me! I really appreciate the opportunity! Here's a link to Cedarhurst website: http://www.cedarhurst.org/ They have all kinds of events coming up on their calendar, check it out!
Photography has always been a love of mine, I have oodles of photo albums from my high school days to prove it! When I had my Senior Portraits taken, I had so much fun, and really thought it was the kind of job I would like to do someday! Someday is here! I officially started my photography business in Dec 06, and things have been rolling along ever since! I love photos of people, really enjoy meeting new people and doing digital work, so this job is perfect for me. It also allows me to set my own hours and stay at home with my children, and for that I am so thankful.
My husband Johnny and I live in an itty bitty town in So. IL where he is a youth pastor. He coaches football and is teaching 3rd grade. We have 2 daughters, Maddie Kate, 9, and Ava, 5, and a son, Cohen, 2.5.
