portrait photographer | Ramsey, IL

The next week we headed to Ramsey, IL and met with a pretty cool girl named Tierney. She was moving to New York the next day and thought what better way to spend the day than getting pampered and capturing every moment? 3eastdesign did all the makeup for the shots and loved every minute of it. I think she had a good time also. 

We headed out to get some cool shots on this door and on the way back, got stung by a bee! What an experience. Tierney had to be a crutch to be able to walk back to the house.

The consensus is this is the favorite photograph and should be on every magazine, ever. 

portrait photographer | Moweaqua, IL

Our church held a conference for Bible Time Ministries and this lovely lady came all the way from Florida to attend. She has been a family friend for quite a few years now and it was a pleasure to see her again as it had been at least 6 years since we've seen her. She has a bubbling personality as is shown in the photographs below. She loves to have a good time. These were all taken during a break at the conference on the our church's grounds.

family photographer | Effingham, IL

A couple days later, we headed to Effingham once again. This time, we photographed the Vail family at Bliss Park. Those boys were something else, such hams. We arrived at the park and the first thing the boys said to us were, "I'm shy, I don't like to get my picture taken." Well, they were definitely teasing. Beautiful day at a beautiful park.

This photograph should definitely be huge, love how the boys are looking back.

Loved the camera!
Beautiful rose garden at Bliss.

first blog in a long time. photographer | Effingham, il

We have decided to start blogging our photoshoots and therefore, I decided to start a few months back with a session we did in Effingham, Il. Meet Kendra, Troy and baby Gabriel. We did this shoot in one of the many parks Effingham has and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Gabriel is a precious little boy and enjoyed sleeping while we continued to photograph him and couldn't stop. You can tell how much love Kendra and Troy have for their little boy!

Little Gabriel had his eyes open for about 5 minutes the whole shoot! We grabbed at the opportunity!

high performance

my boyfriend is a genius. (aw i know sick huh?) anyway he gave me the door emblem from his gto he has had since he was 16. and i was like, 'what?' he said, 'i just thought that you would like it.' i said, 'what do i do with it?' he said, 'whatever you want.' so naturally i said, 'i'll make a necklace out of it.' and so is born high performace jewelry. made from any car emblem i can get my hands on.

ps. i have added lots of new pieces to 3eastdesign.etsy.com
