Lake of the Woods, Mahomet, IL

---

Let’s go back to February. I went out on a limb and began offering boudoir sessions, and to celebrate, I offered a free session to one randomly chosen woman. As you may have guessed, Brooke was our winner! I had never met her prior to her boudoir session, but I feel like we hit it off immediately when she entered that hotel room. We had messaged a bit leading up to her session and I knew she was excited but also nervous, as I’m sure most women are at the thought of such intimate photos, but our personalities matched well and she rocked her session!

The next week I got a text from Brooke that said “I told Quentin how much I loved you and said ‘I think she’s the one to capture our day!” *Cue blushing* I was so honored! I knew we were going to have so much fun together, but had no idea how much until I met Quentin for their engagement photos. We laughed and hung out and talked and walked around Lake of the Woods in Mahomet. They looked fabulous, and Brooke took the smart route and had her hair and makeup done before their session, which I recommend for an amazing, stress free experience! (Thanks to Kelsie Briggs for hair and Dianna Griffith for makeup!) I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

I think this one is my favorite shot from the entire session!

Quentin plays pool, so it was only natural to grab a few shots using pool balls in their wedding date! 

These two were brave enough to climb up to the TOP of the waterfall for a few portraits! 

You know how I’m a sucker for these Illinois sunsets! It was GORGEOUS!
