Hey there, Sollie here.


I am so happy you made it! A little about me, I've been married for almost 2 decades now. We have 3 kiddos, 1 dog, and 1 cat. We live in the Staunton IL area, so halfway between STL and Springfield IL. Since moving here we've become more slow. Living a more authentic life and actually living.

Photography is my one true north in life. Something I have always had a passion for, and always come back to. I get get lost behind the camera for hours. I love to get creative!


OH! Because I believe Love is Love, I am also ordained and can marry ya! ;)


Who am I? I am just a resident awkward girl born and raised in the mid-west. I love pineapples on pizza, and say OPE every day. I love fiercely and will walk away with a friend the day of our shoot. I don't know strangers, and I love to hear life stories. I will have a mid-west good bye for hours, so if we gotta go, we better start going now. I over use emoji's, like only a millennial can do. If you are a hugger, you will be infused with sunshine when my arms wrap around you. If you aren't, well I'll respect that space and send you sunbeams instead. ;) (Imagine the carebear stare)

I love adventure, and to travel. And if I'm honest, I love traveling in a car the best. Watching the road and seeing what shows up on the side of the roads. The flowers,

I am a momma and wife.
