family photographer | Moweaqua, IL

Meet Paige, Matthew, Matt, and Jessie. They're siblings and pretty funny to be around. Thank God it turned out to be a gorgeous fall day. The shoot was scheduled for the week before, but I'm glad it didn't happen because it was cloudy and windy that day. If the shoot would have been scheduled for the next week, the leaves would not have been on the trees, so perfect timing! This was our first time shooting in downtown Moweaqua believe it or not. We usually stake out places in the country, but it was fun seeing beauty in something you see everyday. We did go everywhere with these four. We started at Central Park, moved to downtown, went to the country and then the studio. They were troopers. It was fun guys, hope you enjoy. :) Becca has photographed Paige a couple times before and it was even better adding more people to the mix. 3eastdesign is photographing a wedding next weekend and Paige happens to be a bridesmaid! We can't get away from her. Haha.

This is a favorite of 3eastdesign's. Chillin', having fun.
Gap advertisement anyone?

About a month ago, Becca went to an Icon for Hire show in Pana, IL. Needless to say, it was a very late concert, but it was fun. Check out their facebook or myspace. www.facebook.com/iconforhire or www.myspace.com/iconforhire

If you haven't been to a show, go! You'll like them.

live music photographer | Alton, IL

Becca had the opportunity to photograph Riverjam '09 in Alton, IL this year. She had been sick all week, but wouldn't give this opportunity up, so she showed up with a fever and all! The next day, she ended up in the Emergency Room and had emergency surgery. She ended up in the hospital for 3 days! The bands that played for Riverjam this year included VOTA, Superchick and BarlowGirl. If anyone knows Becca, you know her favorite band since she was 13 is Superchick. No way was she going to miss this! She had to rest a lot, so the only band she continually photographed was Superchick, but the photographs turned out well.

Alyssa from BarlowGirl sings her heart out.

Dave and Tricia on the last song.
Dave playing a 10 minute solo. It rocked.

Matt from Superchick always plays his face off.

Here's the guitarist from VOTA. Becca caught the very last song that VOTA played.

The next three photographs are the Meet-n-Greet part before the concert. It had been raining all day and it started sprinkling while kids lined up to see the bands. Faithful fans! Right before the concert started the rain stopped. I think God answered prayer!
These girls were the most excited out of anyone to see Superchick and BarlowGirl. They smiled like that the entire time.
