When we first moved to Springfield, IL, everyone told me that “everyone knows everyone.”   I didn’t believe it.  There were so many people out there and it certainly isn’t a small town.  However, after being here for only 2 years, I am beginning to think that there is like a 3 degrees of separation from everyone in the area.  Add in the fact that I have a 2 year old who takes swimming, gymnastics, music class, etc….well, the city is getting smaller.

When Paula first contacted me, I knew her name looked familiar.  She said she was expecting and that she wanted to get some images of her 2 year old as well as some of her coming new daughter.  When she mentioned her daughter’s name, it clicked.   Charlotte & my daughter Josie were in music class together about a year ago. Ahhh…Springfield is getting smaller. She didn’t know that “Vicky, Josie’s mom” was the Victoria Kegg of Blue Daisy Art.   I guess I better improve the marketing of my photography in social arenas 🙂

I was so excited when Paula said she was having another girl, as Charlotte is just an absolutely beautiful little girl.   In addition, Paula has a close relationship with her sister and she had hoped to have two little girls of her own.  On the evening we went out for their maternity & child session, the weather was just perfect.   A little overcast and the sun peaking in an out.  Perfect day to capture a glowing expectant mother and her cute 2 year old.  Dad was happy to stand on the sidelines.
