Knights Slain in Semis

The RHS Knights were ousted from the state football playoffs at home on Saturday as powerful Joliet Catholic rolled to an impressive 54-7 win. Joliet advances to the state title game next week.

Congratulations to RHS for another great season. You should be proud. See you back next year!

Bow Wow with Sugar & Belle

Sugar

Belle
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Sugar and Belle for an afternoon photo shoot. Sugar was an "old paw" at having her photo taken, but Belle was anything but "man's best friend." However, with the help of a few squeak toys and lots of attention this beatiful pair produced some outstanding photos. Give us a "bark" to arrange a photo session with your favorite pet. Owners are welcome, too!

Knights Pierce Sacred Heart

The RHS Knights slayed top-ranked Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin 29-20 in playoff action on Saturday. The Knights will reload this week to face another gridiron ogre as they host perennial powerhouse Joliet Central Catholic.

Jump ball!

Defensive poetry in motion.

We bad!

Meet Emily & Chris

Emily and Chris are getting married next year. A couple of weeks ago we had their engagement photo session. It was a beautiful day, and we had so much fun. Congratulations!

RHS WINS!

Celebrate!

The RHS Knights juggernaut rolled on with a solid 23-14 road win over #4 ranked Marion in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs. Julie made the 5-hour odyssey and grabbed all the action. The Knights face Springfield Sacred Heart Griffin next Saturday. Go Knights!

Off to see the Wizard

Last night I followed the yellow brick road to the Civic Center Theater and photographed 12 local "munchkins" as they performed on stage with the Broadway cast of the Wizard of Oz.

After tonight...we're not in Peoria anymore, Toto!

Meet The O'Briens
