R. Vail Photography R. Vail Photography is a page that offers photography sessions and to display some of my photography as well. Welcome to R. Vail Photography!

My love of photography started at a young age. When I was younger I would like my stuff animals up and take photos of them and that was when it was on film! I don't know how many rolls of film I would waste taking the most random photos. In high school and college I took multiple photography classes and fell more in love with it. I loved the aspect of the dark room and watching a photo that I took to develop. I have also taken a couple of digital photography classes as well. Over the years, I have taken photos of just about anything. From taking photos of my daughter her whole life, to engagement sessions, to family sessions, to senior sessions, maternity session, newborn photos, event photos, and a few small weddings as well. Let me a capture a moment in time for you! Book a session with me by sending me a message or dropping me an email to [email protected]

Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

Sneak peak part 2

It was a hot one yesterday, but we got Madi's senior session done. She saw this idea on TikTok with a mirror and asked if we could try it. I was like sure! I was able to find this mirror at an antique store here in town. This worked out way better than we expected it to! Thanks to her mom for helping hold the mirror for some of the photos!

Senior session sneak peak.

This past Sunday I went down to Lake Mattoon to take part 1 of senior photos for Madi. The weather got the memo to cooperate for us, it was the perfect weather for it. We took their boat out at the golden hour/sunset to get some photos on the boat. I still can't believe she's going to be a senior this fall!

Sunday November 30th, I had the privilege of taking photos for 4 kids being baptized and the wonderful reception afterwards. I got a look into a different culture and it was an experience that I'll always remember. Here are some photos from the reception before the reception got really going.

Working on editing photos from my photo gig I had on Sunday and Trevor was being annoying until I moved my laptop, so he could lay on the couch on my leg. I guess as long as the dog is comfortable, I guess that’s all that matters!
