Moraine View State Park has tons of spots to tuck ourselves in to get a gorgeous gallery for this chick! This location is between several rural towns - perfect for that nature feel. River is the sweetest girl-next-door, you’ll ever meet. She wanted her session to be relaxed and down to earth, just like she is. While we were on the dock, a fisherman offered up his catch, even tho standing in a dress, she darted down not to miss a photo opportunity with that fishy! Needless to say, lots of laughs followed!

Kelsie’s simple senior session on the farm was so refreshing, natural and laid back. The simple white tank paired with her favorite jeans and sandals were the perfect outfit choice to compliment this Central Illinois farm. You don’t always have an elaborate and extensive clothing selection for beautiful portraits. Sometimes K.I.S.S is best…. (are you guys to young to know what that means???)

Looking for something different, we asked for out of the box, ugly location shooting suggestions. There were a lot of great, challenging ideas including the make-up isle, a grocery store, Menards, abandon houses and dumpsters. When Ryleigh suggested a junkyard we started planning -this is one location that has actually been on our bucket list!
