I needed to keep my girls occupied while I got things together for our upcoming vacation. So I set up a little reading nook on their window seat. If you know my girls, you know they can't resist areas that are warm and cozy, so they grabbed some books, a notebook, and Evelyn's "cell phone" (aka my original i pod) and had the best time. Atticus is really getting vocal about being included so he quickly made it clear that I needed to finish up so he could join his big sisters!

Central Illinois is known for many things in the fall. Changing leaves, apple orchards, cool air...something I didn't expect though? A lavender field! As soon as I heard about it, I packed up my family and drove out to Sharp's crossing. It was small, but my girls loved cutting their own lavender bunches and trying to catch the bugs and butterflies that were everywhere! #evelynandvera #littleandbrave #familyphotographer #champaignillinoisphotographer #outdoorphotography #child

This pretty lady is due with a baby boy in December and I loved spending the morning chatting with her about all things pregnancy, dogs, and kids. Laura has always inspired me with her love of beauty and travel and I can't wait to watch her become a mama. (Sidenote, can you even believe her hair? #pregnancygoals) #familyphotographer #champaignillinoisphotographer #champaignillinoisphotography #milouphotography #maternity #secondtrimester
