Can you provide a donation to our charity event?
Blissful Images LOVES giving back to the community and has donated over $50,000 in gift certificates to organizations, fundraisers and events throughout Central Illinois to help your neighbors in times of need.
A note from Jenni:
The first time I heard about volunteering I was 20. I am sure there were opportunities in small town Iowa but it wasn't something my family was ever involved in When the concept was introduced to me I was confused. Why would people work for no pay? So foreign of a concept. I began to really embrace volunteerism after that and because I have been so blessed with a skill that can help others, I utilize it every opportunity I get! In addition to silent auction donations, Blissful Images is also available as the volunteer photographer for a limited number of events annually as well as providing photography services to local non-profits at no charge for them to use for their website and marketing to further their mission.

I 'd like to book a session - now what?
We are really looking forward to working with you to create some amazing photographs!!!
Before we select a date for your session we like schedule a planning meeting. We can do the meeting over the phone but prefer Facetime or Skype so we can chat face to face!
We will discuss clothing, locations and make plans for the perfect session. If we do a face to face you can also show us where you might want to display your portraits in your home. It will only take about 30 minutes but we have found this helps us to provide you with portraits that are exactly what you are wanting as well as get to know you a bit before your session.

Where will our session take place?
Your choice of our studio, outdoors or a location that is special to you and your family. We can also set up our mobile studio in your home. We know of several great places in the Peoria area as well. We can travel to fun, unique locations around central Illinois, but if its outside of a 60 mile radius of Peoria travel fees will apply.

Do you have props?
We provide chairs, benches and stools and love when families bring their own items that are special to them. Making your session special to your individual family is something we love to do. We can photograph your family doing something you love like the family in the wrestling gear or with something that has meaning like a boat or antique car. Special places to your family are always memorable for sessions! |

We loved our session! What can we expect next?
We will narrow the selections to the very best. A few weeks following your session we will meet up again for your custom Reveal and Order Experience.
First, you will enjoy a custom designed slideshow of your portraits followed by being walked through the process of selecting the perfect portraits of your family for yourselves and to gift to family and friends.
We will have product samples for you to see and touch and can help you pick out which of your favorite images you want to display and how.

What should I expect to spend?
This will depend on if you are wanting an album, wall portrait or canvas wall grouping. Many clients invest $800-1200 by the time they are all said and done. Some spend more and some less, but this is the ballpark range.

Can I just get the digital files?
Social media files are available for online sharing for any portraits you loved enough to purchase. An archival USB of all images is included with your order of $1500+.
We want your family session and enjoying your portraits to be an easy experience for you and the best way is to provide portraits you will be able to enjoy and pass along to future generations. While some photographers are happy to hand you files, we don't find that to align with the experience we want to offer our clients because it puts all the work in your hands. Technology comes and goes but prints are forever. Clients thank us for providing this unique service where the portraits are presented to you ready to be enjoyed on your walls.

Who is the face behind Blissful Images?
My name is Jenni Williams. I am married to my best friend Ryan and we have 2 daughters who are the center of our world! I was born and raised in small town Iowa. After attending one of the best photography schools in the country and working for a studio for 2 years I started my own business in 2002.
I love being a Certified Professional Photographer and preserving your precious memories for generations to come. Knowing the memories will be forever etched in your mind as time goes by is extremely rewarding. In 2009 I relocated to the Peoria area. I love to cook, travel (New Orleans and anywhere on a cruise ship are my favorites), spent time outdoors and am a HUGE believer in 'The Secret'
The most rewarding aspect of my work is giving back through my volunteering with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, where she I serve as a volunteer photographer.
