The Neuhaus' Girls

The Neuhaus family has a photo session every two years for their beautiful girls. I had a great time taking their portraits. Afterward, I was treated to a tour of the girls' wonderful artworks. Both are very talented artists.

but a guiding from mom is always nice.

Megan & Mike

Megan and Mike had their wedding a couple weeks ago in Chicago, but they wanted to have another reception for the relatives and friends in Peoria. The reception was held at the new addition of the Peoria Zoo. A beautiful evening and a beautiful couple!

The 10th Annual Maui Jim Children's Home Charity Golf Classic

On Monday we were at the Peoria Country Club to cover one of our favorite events--the Maui Jim Children's Home Charity Golf Classic. When fair weather, good food, and great people get together for a worthy cause, fun is in the bag.

(L-R) Golf pros Don Pooley, Craig Stadler, Dave Stockton, and Gary McCord were on hand to share in the fun.
