My heart is filled with so much joy when I think about how Brad and Elise were brought together, how wonderfully they complement one another, and how well they were celebrated at their wedding. If you want a primer of their beautiful relationship and natural ease together, go check out their engagement session first! 😉 […]
These are my people. My sister’s family. It’s quite a different experience photographing kids you know and spend a lot of time with, as opposed to the ones you meet the night of the session. There has to be a shift from “Hey, it’s your Aunt Jenny and usually we just hang out and goof […]
I had a special excitement about photographing these two lovely ladies. Kelley and Sophia are pretty much the definition of fun, and their genuine smiles and laughter are like magic. It’s been a few years since the last time, and I can’t believe how grown up miss Sophia is! She’s still every bit as much of […]
I’ve been loving how personal and down-to-earth my family sessions have been lately. Really, they have looked a lot like real life, but with everyone in cute, coordinating clothes (and this family’s outfit game was on point!). We hang out, play with kids, go for little walks, find mini adventures, eat snacks. It’s a good life. 🙂 I get that it can be […]
Another sweet and amazing family to share today!! These guys are kind, full of love for each other, SUPER smiley, and sooooooooo cuuuuuuuute. Suk & Sam, have you considered family modeling? Just sayin’! I had such a great time running around, climbing trees, racing up hills and just generally adventuring with these four. Check out Henry. […]
These two people are getting married!!!!! What a fantastic decision, because they fit together with total ease. I haven’t even known them that long, but it’s obvious they complement one another beautifully. Their love is stunning. The contentment on their faces says so much, and this image makes me happy.Yeah, girl! Aw look at you guys […]
When I get the chance to hang with a family that has three fantastic little BOYS, it’s such a treat for me. I mean, I spend lots of time doing girly things with my two daughters – I absolutely love it, but hanging with the boys is a pretty fun change for a day. These three brothers […]
You know a family is made of solid gold if they stay calm under pressure. Allllll day long the forecast waffled on whether or not it would rain the evening of my session with these rad people, and they showed up ready to go, embracing overcast skies and wet grass. It resulted in the most […]
Sometimes starting a blog post about the amazing people I’ve gotten to spend time with, making photographic magic happen, is terribly daunting. How do I possibly condense everything I want to say about these souls into a few lines of text? I guess that’s not my job, but I’ll do my best to do justice to […]
Lake house: check. Relaxed, low-key vibes: check. Gorgeous family: check. Love, a spunky two-year-old and a touch of yellow: check, check, check! This session was SO good for my soul!!! We can talk about the amazing lake house in a bit, but first, how adorable is this crew?! I dare you not to have warm fuzzy […]
These are some of the best people in the world, and naturally, they’re some of my faves to photograph. They. Are. Amazing. (See what I did there? But really, click on that last one. Coralee’s newborn sessions is one of my favorites of all time.) To prove how awesome they are, they decided to make a […]
Friends, remember Sam (from that one time I photographed his incredible family being all awesome)? He’s graduating this year, and he KILLED his senior session. We’re talking “made-every-single-image-look-sooooo-good” killed it. Sam, let me know when you figure out how to bottle and sell that kind of confidence. 🙂 I am biased toward this one, because I had really wanted […]
In order to have a beautiful wedding, you must start with beautiful people. Loved people. Kind-hearted, genuine, others-focused, “I-believe-in-love” people. Friends, this was a beautiful wedding. Max and Kelsey are solid gold. They are rich in friends and laughter, family and generations, and they complement one another as only they were designed to do. I […]
Get your cute-people-admiration-goggles on, because this family is maxing out the adorable scale! Newborn sessions – let’s talk about ’em. I walk in the door and it’s like time stops – nobody is in a hurry, everyone is on a tiny human’s brand new schedule, and there’s a LOT of love flowing around. But, there’s […]
My heart feels all the best feels when I get to photograph families a second time, much less a third or fourth. I love seeing how their kids have changed, even if it’s only been a few months, and each time the dynamic is a little different and I get to know them that much […]
These guys are such dear friends, and while I’m not thrilled they moved away from Lincoln (lucky Iowa…), I’m over the moon that they came back through for a photo session with their sweet baby Lila! Lila is just one week younger than my youngest daughter, and it is SO fun to photograph a baby the […]
Oh hello there, pretty pretty family! These five are the definition of laid back, and we had a morning that was just that. I loooove me a relaxed family. I also love how they coordinated outfits – Go Jenni!!! Starting things off with my favorite… This is Caleb and he’s got the EYES! Such a […]
Ohhhhh, if ever a family stole my heart during a session it was this one. I mean, I got teary editing these because these girls are just that sugary sweet and they just melt me! Say hello to Abigal and Grace, little darlings of Andrea and Greg. The stars aligned so we could photograph them […]
