Some southern Illinois with a side of Marissa.

We are currently in Illinois/Saint Louis visiting family and hangin' out. In the midst of family get togethers, we must squeeze in some photo time. Little Marissa came by our house for a photo shoot. A long overdue senior portrait. I've known this girl via internet for quite some time now, absolutely adorable - I'm so glad that everything worked out as well as it did. The girl didn't even have to try, she's a total natural. Which makes it completely effortless for me! Thank you so much Marissa for dodging traffic on this holiday weekend to be in front of my lens...p.s. it loves you. ;)

we love you too!
