Maternity

This is Emma’s second studio maternity session at Studio Illume, and yet again she looks absolutely lovely! I first met this sweet family while she was pregnant with her first son, Aiden. This time around Aiden is SO big and a big brother! It is so cute to see him running around as a toddler. […]
