You would never know it, but this beautiful wedding day began with rainclouds covering the sky. They gave way and surely brought good luck – this was one perfect July wedding! Jenna took my breath away. She had the most wonderful, Hollywood glam vibe going on. So much pretty drama going on on the left, […]
This night was calm, beautiful, peaceful, romantic – full of the quiet anticipation of waiting on a baby. Maternity sessions always have this feel, and I LOVE contrasting them with the newborn session that follows. Same people, different ballgame. 🙂 And these two, they’re gonna handle it so wonderfully! Emily is unbelievably beautiful, and while […]
It’s SYLVIE! And of course, her lovely parents Brandon & Meghan. I made a quick friend with this little one. Her mama told me she can be a little choosey about who she opens up to, which of course made me feel like a million bucks! 😀 I was honored she decided I was ok to […]
Hi, there! I am very eager, as always, to get talking about the amazing people in the images below, but today I feel the need to make a quick disclaimer. I sometimes worry, when I get busy with portrait sessions and post a lot, that it may seem like I’m always saying “such nice things” about […]
Gosh, talk about families that have become dear to me. Where to even start? I’ve just had the privilege of photographing these three lovely ladies a bunch of times in the last few years and I always look forward to it. I mean, we have FUN. 🙂 Kinsley is a ham, and doesn’t mind the […]
I had the heart-eye emoji face the entire time I was together with these cuties for their engagement session (not to mention all through editing the images)! I simply love these two. They have a fantastic sense of humor, appreciate the important things in life like Husker football and breakfast food, and the way they […]
There is honestly nothing better than playing with your kids and making you laugh, my dear sweet client families. I big time heart my job. 🙂 I love a session like this where my mind is blown by how much the baby changed, because the last time I saw them it was newborn crazy time […]
Perfect baby alert! Owen is likely to cause baby fever. Browse photos at your own risk. There. You’ve been warned. 🙂 Well, well, well. It’s one of the sweetest families around and they’re back on the blog! I’m overflowing with happiness for these friends of mine as they have welcomed their second kiddo, Owen Lee. […]
My heart is SOOOOOO full for this family. These smiles are on their faces….oh…97% of the time. They’re genuinely wonderful. I should know – I got to spend two pretty spectacular and important days with them when Mikaela & Andrew and Kelsey & Max got married! 😀 I had giddy butterflies when they asked to […]
It’s another fabulous day for having a sweet family on the blog, and here they are! This crew just stole my heart. Hannah (on the right here) jumped out of the car when they arrived and came right up to hug me! We’d never met, and it was the best way to start a session. […]
How on earth do I get so lucky that so many of my clients feel like family after a single session together?! Another example of just that: the warm-hearted Petersen family. Including grandparents in a family session has become such a special part of what I do. Everyone needs to do this at least once!Look […]
Heath & Brittany! Heath & Brittany!!!! I’ve been dying to get this session blogged so the world can see this fun duo in all their glory. I’ve noticed these two have this gift for setting the energy level perfectly at a chilled out happy hour vibe. They are so comfortable in their skin, genuine, and unapologetically […]
Be still, my heart! This fiery family is my kind of fam. They know how to have fun, laugh, shake things off, smile from the heart, I mean…I have a big ol’ family crush on them. Look at these two!!! And here’s the whole crew! First, let’s talk about mama Andrea for a second. It takes […]
When Amy first described her kids to me, she used the word “cheerful”, and she is spot on. These kids are so sweet! And mama picked out amazing outfit colors for a spring shoot, don’t you think? This is big brother Jaden on the left. I love this image of him – I think we […]
What an honor it is to photograph families in their own homes! I LOVE in-home sessions for the irreplaceable intimate feeling they have. I happened to also fall hard for little Oliver during this one. He is officially one year old, and rocking the early stages of toddlerhood! Prepare yourself for these photos – these three […]
Being around Andy and Alison makes me SO excited about all the good, good, good things that blossom in marriage. Love, sure, but also firm respect, a constant mutual encouragement, and the deepest friendship imaginable. You two are in for the best adventure of your lives, and it’s already off to such a sweet start! I wanted […]
All week I’ve been thinking about words. What words might describe what the new year will bring? What words will characterize my circumstances or my thoughts? And then I sat down to create this post – my absolute favorite of the year, because who doesn’t like to gather and dwell on their favorites? – and […]
I have been so fortunate to work with the best of the best people in the years I’ve been photographing families. I’m not trying to sugarcoat it – I truly cannot think of enough happy superlatives to write about the awesome people I get to take pictures of. Each year gets better and better, and I’m full of […]
