The Rohlfs'

Tracy...it's your turn to be famous!!!  ;-)

Tracy is one amazing woman.  She is the business brain behind Revolution Dance Studio in Plainfield, IL.  I've been working with her the last few years, and she is a pleasure!!  Her family is just as awesome as she is...not that I was surprised at all!!  Lindsey, Ryan, and Jael were a blast to work with.  And Scott, well, Scott just cracked me up!!  He's perfect for Tracy.  ;-)

Lancaster's

The Lancaster's are another one of my "dancing" families.  They were sweet, and gave me a much needed easy hour. As much as I LOVE photographing younger children, they take a lot of energy to corral.  ;-)  It was perfect timing in the day to get a family where the youngest kid was 14!!

Megan is now attending college, and Braden is in highschool.  I don't know them well, but I think that Anne and Jim are great parents.  Their kids love each other, and love them!!  And, they haven't lost that "spark" either!  ;-)

This one is my favorite!!!

The Bates'

Wow!!  Sorry it's been a week since my last post.  My father-in-law has been ill, and my husband and I took a much-needed Anniversary weekend away in Memphis.  But I'm back!

I hadn't met the Bates' before our shoot last month.  Well, I take that back.  I photographed Austin and Maddie at the Revolution Dance Studio shoot.  I loved meeting Gina, Jimmy, and Logan!!  Jimmy stressed me out a little bit in the beginning since he had a camera as big as mine, but it all worked out great.  ;-)  And Logan, well, Logan was awesome!!  Such a fun age, personality, and a GREAT smile!!

I love when I get a group of kids who let me photograph their personalities!  ;-)  This was one of those...

Lebron's

I seriously had such a good time shooting the Lebron's!!!  I got to take dance pictures of Brianna's...it was so awesome to meet the rest of her family!!  Her new baby sister came out as well as her folks' and grandparents.

It was awesome.  We had a small breakdown of communication, but they were so great and accommodating for me!!  They all showed up at the Riverwalk and we had a blast.

Baby Gabriella was everything that a one-month old is supposed to be!!  Soft, sweet, and adorable.  I can't wait til next time.

Chrisman's

This is third year that I've been able to photograph the Chrisman's.  Rubin, Amy, Brayden and Cameron.  Actually, the first time, Cameron wasn't in the picture...but he came along eventually!!  ;-)

They are such a fun family.  Brayden has always been a bundle of energy and Cameron is following in big brother's footsteps!!!  Rubin and Amy are great with both of them.

One thing I love about photographing families is watching how everyone interacts with each other.  Brayden is a GREAT big brother.  He's happy, funny, and loves to be the center of attention.  Cameron wants to do everything his big brother does...but he's at the age that he wants to do it his own way!!  Rubin and Amy are so awesome with each other and with their boys.  You can see the love in their eyes for their whole family.

This one just might be my favorite out of the bunch!!

Prunty's

I had the distinct privilege this fall to photograph the REAL Superman.  You can't even know how absolutely amazingly awesome that was!!

His dad and I went to college together back in the day.  Er...I went to college, and Brian came over to "use" my notes when it was time to study for a test!! (Sorry, B.  Couldn't help myself!!)  Then, after college, we actually ended up working at the same place.  Oh, the stories I could tell...but so could Brian, so I'll keep them to myself!!  ;-)

Brian and Terri have 3 gorgeous boys:  Carson, Mason, and Tyson.  I won't tell you which one is Superman...it's a secret!!!  ;-)
