Words cannot express how much I love little miss Rayna. I was one of the first people to hold her, and every time I am near her she brings me so much joy! I took 6 months of her to help Mom and Dad cherish that special time in her life forever. She was so happy to pose for the camera! What a cutie! It's been an absolute pleasure to watch the Stygian Sisters Belly Dance troupe grow and develop over the past three years, and I'm so lucky that Shyama has worked with me to take photos of the group since their inception! The troupe recently expanded, so I met with the gals on a lovely summer evening to take some group and individual photos out at Kaufman Park in Champaign. The graffiti provided great backgrounds for these metalheads, who brought their talent, creativity, and beauty to the session like they do to each of their performances. Makenzie and Josh are one of the most smiley couples I’ve ever met. Throughout their entire engagement session, they were laughing with each other and just generally enjoying each other’s company, and you could tell they were very much in love! And the story of how they met is as cute as it comes—the two met in college when Makenzie was giving a bunch of incoming freshmen a tour of campus. Josh happened to be in the group and was smitten by his beautiful tour guide! For their session, we took photos out at Lake of the Woods in Mahomet, which is one of my favorite places to photograph since it is always gorgeous out there. We had fantastic weather and were able to enjoy the setting sun, which provided a swoon-worthy backdrop for photos by the lake. |
