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 […]
And then there were three! Join me in welcoming sweet, curious, cuddly Opal June to the world. She’s an awesome addition to a couple of pretty great new parents, and I had the privilege of dropping in on them as they were all getting acquainted in that first week home. My job is so crazy […]
After photographing this sweet girl’s big brother Grayson during our maternity session a few weeks back, I had no doubt she would be every single bit as cute, and boy was I right!!! Josalyn was so much fun to photograph. I am in love with all the little things she did with her hands. She’s […]
Meet two people who were made for one another, are completely in love, and look DANG good together. 😉 Kenzie and Justin made my week when they asked me to photograph an engagement session for them. Kenzie’s law schooling brought her to Nebraska and after a year of long-distance, Justin recently followed. These lovebirds are gettin’ hitched […]
This whole session gets a big “Heck, YES” from me. Two stinkin’ adorable blue-eyed brothers and their funny (and equally cute) parents, plus we started things off at home to include sweet Margo the pup. I’ll take that any day of the week. 😉 Landon is killing me in this one! His eyes bore through your soul, […]
Ohhhhh you guys. You’d better get comfy, because this session is a definite favorite. I had the hardest time narrowing down images to share! Meet Craig & Melissa’s beloved crew! First up: mama with baby Asa. This smiley boy is so sweet and funny. He’s got a smile the size of his whole face (maybe bigger?), […]
Even though this adorable (and incredibly sharp-looking) family was anxiously awaiting the birth of their second kiddo, they were as laid-back as could be for our maternity session. I love photographing families just before they change forever. It’s the most exciting time! We took advantage of the spotlight still being on Grayson and got some […]
Last fall, after a really fun, laid-back session with this family, a glowing Elizabeth told me that in the spring, I’d get to photograph their twins. TWINS. I think next to the two of them, and possibly a few family members, I was the next most excited about their news. 😉 Fast forward just a […]
