Family Session at Robert Allerton Estate in Monticello, Illinois

The Bopp Family was the first Maternity session I ever had the chance to partake in, eight years ago when big brother Logan was still in his Mommy’s belly. Mom Amy, who is Troy’s younger sister and her crazy boy clan with husband Steve.

The Bopp Family was the first Maternity session I ever had the chance to partake in, eight years ago when big brother Logan was still in his Mommy’s belly. Mom Amy, who is Troy’s younger sister and her crazy boy clan with husband Steve. While in town together for Memorial Day in the small Illinois town of Monticello. Our family had the chance to walk around Robert Allerton Park which is always a must while in town. It promises a lush garden full with peonies, tall walkway lined shrubs, statues, a lake, shallow gazing pool, and Robert Allertons beautiful Mansion. It’s an estate and park worth visiting if your ever in the area of Champaign/Decatur, IL. While strolling the grounds we took a few minutes to capture a small set of photos and the stars aligned, look how cute my nephews are, and how much they love their Mommy & Daddy!
