Welcome to our blog! This is our first post and we're not quite sure what we're doing so bare with us!
My husband and I started CR Photography & Design in 2004. I attend Illinois Central College and received my associates degree in elementary education. I love working with children but after completing my degree I realized teaching was not for me... I needed to follow my passion for art and use of my creativity. That's when I started to focus on my natural ability as a photographer.
At an early age I discovered my knack for photography. My sisters and I would play dress up and I would take as many pictures as I could afford (this was back in the days of film). It didn't take long before I was photographing friends that spent the night... there are some funny pictures floating around out there.
Time passed and I had our three beautiful children. You couldn't ask for better models. I was able to teach myself everything I know through trial and error. After several years of photographing my children and family I started photographing friends. Our friends told their friends and it all started from there.
In 2009 we converted one room of our house into a small studio. We are now making plans to expand the studio, doubling our space and naturally our studio options. I'm very excited to have a larger work space (and one without the mess my kids make). We're hoping to open the new studio sometime late this summer.
I love photography. I love working with people. I love being creative. I love my job. I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I take great pride in my work and I hope that shows.
Over the last year our business has exploded and we owe it all to our wonderful friends, family, and clients... without you we'd be nothing... Thank you!
