Do you feel the wind in this image?  The peace and calm of the day?...

It started out getting reprimanded by a judge for using the parking lot—’til he learned that I (Todd does…so by default–I do too!) own the building.  I had to throw this in here because he and Todd had...

Larissa [ Senior] | Normal Senior Photographer, Bloomington Senior Photographer

I adored Larissa’s humble attitude….she’s gorgeous and doesn’t know it.  She’s resplendent….incognito.   I had tons of fun getting her to laugh—:)  Her session was by far the quickest session I have ever had.  Efficient and delightful—love it!

**My favorite shot of the day.  Very little editing here—straight out of the camera stunning.

Light, effortless, and fun....
