The Girl Behind the Camera
Hi,
My name is Esther Kabwe and I'm a passionate family, maternity, and couples photographer based in Southern Illinois. I love creating stunning images that capture life's most precious moments, whether it's the excitement of a new pregnancy, the beauty of a growing family, or the love between two people.
With nearly a full decade of experience, I've had the pleasure of working with clients from all walks of life. And no matter the occasion, I always strive to make every session relaxed and enjoyable, so that you can look back on your photos with fond memories for years to come.
I specialize in natural light photography, which means that I love to take advantage of the gorgeous landscapes and scenery that Southern Illinois has to offer. From sun-drenched fields to lush forests, there's always a perfect backdrop for your shoot. And when the time is right, I also love to add a touch of creative flair with unique props and poses.
Ultimately, my goal as a photographer is to create images that tell your story in the most authentic way possible. So if you're looking for a photographer who cares about capturing your moments with heart and soul, then I'd love to work with you!
Thank you again for your time! Have a great day!

As a family-oriented individual, I believe that family is the cornerstone of happiness and love. Let me introduce you to my lovely family, whom I hold dear to my heart.
Meet my partner of 10 years, Kevin, who has been my pillar of strength and support in both my personal and professional life. Kevin is the epitome of a devoted partner, always willing to lend a listening ear and offer his unwavering encouragement. We share a deep connection, built on a foundation of trust, respect, and understanding. Our love story is one that inspires me to capture the essence of love in every photograph I take.
Now, let me introduce you to my little girl, who is the light of our lives. She is a bubbly 7-year-old who is always brimming with excitement and joy. Her obsession with unicorns is infectious, and it brings a smile to my face every time she prances around in her unicorn onesie. As a mother, I understand the importance of cherishing every moment with your little ones. That's why I specialize in capturing those precious moments that you'll want to cherish forever.
At my photography business, I understand that every family is unique and special in their own way. That's why I strive to create a personalized experience for each of my clients, capturing their authentic selves in the most beautiful way possible. I want to capture the love, joy, and magic of your family through my lens, so you can cherish those moments forever.
Thank you for considering my photography business for capturing your special moments. I look forward to getting to know you and creating beautiful memories together.

A hot cup of tea! I usually wind down my evenings with a relaxing cup of tea.

Things I Strongly Dislike…
The snow… I hate cold weather, and I enjoy Spring and Summer the most!
Mondays… I wish we could all just sleep in for one more day!
Trains… I can’t stand being on time for something, and then getting stopped by the train!
