Heyyoo! I'm Alison! I am a central Illinois based photographer serving central Illinois and beyond. I shoot seniors, families, couples, and mostly weddings! I have been doing photography professionally for several years now. I have had sessions and weddings all over the US and I am willing to travel!

I married my best friend, Cole, in 2018 and we have a 4-year-old and one year old daughter that are so much fun!

Hello! My name is Samantha Tomblin, owner of Initial Impressions. I’ve been doing photography for about 13 years now. The moment I began photographing, I fell in love with the whole process. My favorite part is capturing love, personalities and emotions in a still image. I’m a people person and love getting to know each of my clients, which I believe helps create a fun relaxing atmosphere at each of my sessions.

Samantha and her second shooter, Katie, were fantastic to work with. We were a bit hesitant working with someone we didn't know from personal connections, but the positive reviews convinced us it was worth a shot. We are very thankful we hired Initial Impressions! From the beginning, Samantha communicated clearly and frequently. She was super patient with us, a bride and groom who weren't exactly sure what they wanted and were often slow at getting back to her, and helped us draft a schedule for the photographers for the Big Day. She was really good about letting us make decisions and augmenting them with her expert advice. On the day of, she and Katie were supportive and kind while being unobtrusive. I was surprised when we got our photos back to see moments that I had no idea they had captured! Extremely professional and excellent at capturing special moments. Speaking of getting photos back, Initial Impressions sent us the whole gallery only 3 weeks after the event with over 800 photos. We absolutely love them! From her consistent communication, ability to guide indecisive people, pleasant attitude, and superb professionalism, we would 100% work with Initial Impressions again.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Her eye for detail and ability to capture the most beautiful moments—big and small—was incredible. We absolutely love how she blended candid shots with stunning portraits, and the final images are beyond what we could’ve imagined. Every picture tells a story, and we’ll treasure these memories forever.

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

  • Serves Benson, IL

As a wedding professional of 17+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

As a DJ for over 25 years, I have worked with many photographers in my time. None are as easy, professional, and fun, to work with as Shayla Loring Photography is. I have had the pleasure a handful of times, and those are the weddings that go the smoothest. She has great communication skills, lots of unique ideas, and a passion to capture the night just the way the bride and groom want it. She also realizes the night is about the two getting married and her sole focus is on capturing the best memories in the photos. If you are in search of the BEST photographer, look no further!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.
