Rend Lake Photo Fun

I thought I knew this girl. I expected a pleasant session with genuine smiles and beauty captured, but WHOA! I was in for a surprise! We met for an evening session at Rend Lake, near Benton, Illinois. Rend Lake is fast becoming one of my favorite photo spots. There are so many different looks you can get in such a small area.

Abbie got out of the van with her mom, and her make-up artist and her daughter. I wasn't expecting the extra people, but it made for Abbie to come out of hiding. This girl is FUN! And I hope these photos show that side of her. Enjoy!
