Southern Illinois Maternity Photographer - Liz

A few months ago I received an email from Liz. She had seen my work and wanted to do a maternity shoot. I was ecstatic! Then she said she lived on a farm...I was even more ecstatic! We emailed each other back and forth (several times) within the next few months, just two girls having conversation via email....even though we had never met in person, I felt like I knew her. Then the day came when we finally got to meet! Liz greeted us (me and my "assistant") with a big smile on her front porch with her daughter Ella. Both SO adorbale! Liz was all smiles and basically let me take over her house. Which I did. lol.... :) Liz was glowing the entire time, and her daughter Ella was such a doll! Liz is having a girl and is due in July, and I cannot wait to photograph their new little blessing and their entire family. This was my first maternity session, and it couldn't have gone any better. Liz and Ella are such beauties and made the whole experience just awesome. Thank you so much Liz for welcoming me into your home (and your bedroom). :) Here are a few from their session. Enjoy!

Isn't she lovely?...Isn't she wonderful?....Stevie Wonder song right there....  :)
