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

My girls have always loved spending time outside so we spent the evening before bed catching the last of the summer sun. Vera's hair is hilarious right now. The texture is changing, so the roots are super dense and the ends are light and wispy. It creates a little blonde halo around her head and I love it. #littleandbrave #familyphotographer #childrensphotography #champaignillinoisphotographer #champaignillinoisphotography #milouphotography #outdoorphotography #aliceandames #
