A Year in Review (AKA The Blog is Back!)

Hello again from the groupies! The past year has been one of our busiest yet—so busy, in fact, that we’ve neglected to update our blog in almost exactly a year (whoops!). We promise we’re still here, though, and we’ve got plenty to fill you all in on, including weddings, babies, and new additions to the…

TTMMH- Round Two

I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been terribly caught up in the hustle and bustle of life lately- the busy at work, house hunting, puppy loving, errand running, family shenanigan hustle and bustle. I’m really bad at slowing down, even for a second, to appreciate all of the small pieces that come together and…

Happy Christmas!!

We’ve been blessed again this year with a fantastic staff, loyal customers (who are also our friends), and a full calendar! Each Christmas, we try to find time in our busy schedule to all be off at the same time for some fun. This year, we had dinner at Dwight’s Station 343. A beautiful restaurant…

Testing 1… 2 … 3

The Groupies are ALWAYS on the go!

We’ve had lots of visitors lately and everyone that comes in instantly migrates to the rather large tank in the room. And here recently, it’s been…

Fresh Groupie Alert

Hi there! It’s been a while now, but it is finally time for me to introduce myself! My name is Meredith Rennewanz and I am the “newbie” groupie to the Image Group family! Now, I am going to give you a crash course on who I am, so get your pens ready because there will…

Illinois Veteran’s Home- Manteno

A couple of months ago BJ’s wife, Nancy, presented us with a fantastic photography project idea- The Veteran’s Project. Reminiscent of Richard Avedon’s revealing style of celebrity photography, we would make emotional portraits of military veterans while documenting their wisdom and incredible journeys. BJ immediately explained the project to his photojournalism class at Olivet, who…
