Lucas + Katie Maternity | Southern Illinois Maternity Photographer (March 2014)

I was so excited when Katie asked me to take some maternity pictures of her and Lucas – it was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon!  These two are very sweet, and I am so excited for them as they begin this next chapter in their lives.  As picture day neared, I was starting to get worried if the weather would cooperate with our plans (after all, snow and ice was supposed to come in any day).  Luckily for us, we were blessed with the perfect day – 50 degrees, awesome light, and an adorable couple!  We decided to take their images at Dolan Lake, and Katie and Lucas asked that we start our session at the Pavilion, the spot where they got married a few years ago.  We took our first photos in front of a large tree there where they had had their wedding photos taken.  This location was meaningful to them with makes the images even sweeter!  I’m excited to meet their sweet little miracle!  Katie is due at the end of the month which means Miss Hannah will be here before we know it!!
