This session reminds me so strongly of everything I love about being a parent. John and Ella adore their two sweet girls and are so fun, tender, patient and intentional with them. It’s such a beautiful thing to witness! Their family is full of happiness that just keeps rebounding off one person, then another, then […]
Buckle up for this one, folks! Xavian is one of the most photogenic seniors I’ve ever worked with, and we made DANG good use of Lincoln’s amazing new mural project: EmergeLNK. If you love color even half as much as I do, you’re gonna be obsessed with this shoot. Xavian has no shortage of style. […]
It’s most definitely fall, and I’ve been having so much fun with the flood of families I get to photograph this time of year. This crew is something special, and I am grateful for this peek into their unique, beautiful family. Hey there, Cora! Could you possibly squeeze more joy from a smile than this? […]
These people are like home to me. My precious nieces, heart-melting nephew, drop-dead gorgeous sister-in-law, and my beloved brother. The gang’s all here!!! I was in town visiting for such a short time, and only saw them for a few hours, but we squeezed in family photo time, and I’m so glad we did. It’s […]
I had the absolute joy of meeting this fresh baby and freezing time for his mom and dad just a little bit. A little bit goes a long way in the case of a newborn babe. I’m so glad Atlas’s mom and dad can enjoy these tiny fingernails, his wild and fuzzy hair, his tinyness […]
What a pleasure to have another fantastic senior on the blog today! Where do I begin with Eli? I have so many wonderful things to say about him. He showed up to his session ready to get to work, though it took him no effort at all to turn out all these amazing, personality-packed images. […]
I had the pleasure of photographing Thomas for the first time with his family in 2015. It was so much fun to do a Senior Session with him now, six years later! Thomas has kindness written all over his face, and has such an inviting personality. Both my favorites! I’m no golfer, but dang was […]
I can’t accurately explain the elation I feel when I see an email sitting in my inbox from former wedding clients with the word “newborn” in the title. I love people’s stories, and telling those stories through photos as the page is turned from one chapter to the next is special. It’s extra special. If […]
Oh my goodness. Buckle up for this blog post! It’s just about the best thing ever. Elmer and Johana have been together for five years, and when Johana reached out to schedule photos for them with her son Daniel, she had no idea how the night would unfold. Elmer let me know he had some […]
There was a special energy about this family on this night. They’re my kind of people! So relaxed, so themselves, so happy to be with one another. I left feeling wonderful about life and humanity. Thanks for that, Bakers! Sandie and Jim = relationship goals. I love how much fun they have together, and how […]
I realize in-home newborn sessions tend to look very peaceful and serene – even ethereal. There’s a reason for that – when you freeze time during a season of such heightened emotions and tenderness with a precious new baby in the spotlight, that tends to be the result. Believe me, this session had all of […]
Any day I get to share my family members in this space is a good one! My cute nephews, darling niece, fun brother-in-law and devoted sister are back!!! I’ve photographed this kid a whole bunch, and every time has been wildly different. Makes sense, right? They change quite a bit in a year, and with […]
This delightful family was made even richer in personality, love and energy (at least for the kids) with the addition of baby Sorenson! He charts unbelievably high on the cutie scale – we’re talking 100th percentile. What an honor to hang out with him for a morning! It was anything but dull! Who wants a […]
There was serious Nebraska beauty the night the Andersens hung out with me for photos on their acreage. Great people, big skies, chickens…it was heaven! Christina and Charles are raising three lovely kids. Owen, Caitlin and Kayliana are nothing short of charming. Hands down, the best part of my job is gaining so many new […]
The blog has never looked so happy as it does today with this crew. Dear friends, if any of you believes you can rival Ryan’s raised eyebrow in terms of awesomeness, please direct yourself to my contact form, and let’s get that business documented for posterity! In all seriousness – bring me your family’s quirks, […]
This family just may actually be part sunshine. Sammi and Steven and their adorable children filled my day with it, at least! We had an intimate, chill family session at their home, and I got to catch a sweet glimpse of life with the Kaisers. Will. His crinkle-nose, tooth-baring smile is to die for. His […]
I enjoyed the most laid-back, natural family session with these four. Erick and Tracy have the SWEETEST little boys. Christopher and Collin were so fun to photograph, and they have such a cute, budding friendship that’s going to last forever. I can feel it! Christopher must have doubled in height since I last saw him. […]
