Rayna is on the Way - Maternity Session in Champaign, IL

If you follow this blog closely, then there is no doubt that you know all about my close friend Mandy, as she has often been the subject of many photo shoots of mine! She has really been with me from the beginning, providing me the early opportunities to break into photography by taking photos at her belly dance events and being open to doing random photo shoots when I had an artistic bug in my brain. Needless to say, it was easy for us to both know when she announced her pregnancy that we'd have to get together to do a maternity session (and my first one, at that!). I met her and hubby John (also one of my best friends!) out at Robert C Porter Family Park in Champaign just as the sun was getting close to setting. The photographs turned out amazing, and I am so happy to have been able to capture such an amazing time in my friend's life! Now we just have to wait for Rayna to come so that we can do a newborn session ;).
