Welcome to the world, sweet baby girl! You couldn’t be one ounce more precious. I don’t have too many words when it comes to newborn sessions. Every single little one is such a unique, beautiful creation, and I think it’s best to just admire each tiny feature in happy silence. Shhhh… Thank you, Callens, for letting […]

I mean ALL of ’em! As you know, the Smiths are some of my favorite families and I have been SO fortunate to photograph them as they add one precious little person at a time. We recently got everyone together, including Grandma and Grandpa, before a Husker game to snap some awesome, big family love. These […]

I have the privilege of working on a fantastic project this year with a few of the most talented ladies I know. Every month, I’ll be photographing a pairing of delicious pastries by Angela of Goldenrod Pastries, all styled gorgeously by Candace and Lindsay of Lovestru.ck Social Events. Everything about the “His and Hers Sweets” series is going […]

Seeing your long-time friends welcome baby #2 is a special thing. I love being in the midst of big changes for people with whom you’ve lived a bit of life. This family is so tender, patient and adoring of one another. We could all learn a lot from them. Congratulations, Dexter family! These sisters couldn’t be any […]

I’m a little partial concerning these people. This is my brother’s family, and I could not be more proud to call them mine. Are they not adorable?! I swear, I did not make my sweet niece’s eyes that blue in Photoshop. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting her, you know they’re the real deal. The […]

This family has the sweetest two boys around – and another one on the way. I felt like I had two new best friends after we finished our time together. 🙂 Also, there’s just something wonderful about brothers. I have a feeling these two will be buds their whole lives, which is amazingly awesome. Thanks […]

Happy friday! I’m excited to be posting pictures of a dear family today, one that I’ve had the sweet privilege of watching grow over the last few years. They are funny, they have a unique family personality, they roll with it, they enjoy each other well. And their newest addition has stolen my heart. Those […]

These two (soon to be three!) are dear friends. You know the kind of people you once-upon-a-time thought would be so great for each other, and as it turns out after a bowl of ice cream and some conversation at your house, they thought so, too? They’re those kinds of people. They are kind, generous […]

One year old! Our girl is one! This is still blowing my mind, three weeks later. We wrapped up our monthly pictures on her birthday, and I need to take a moment to give myself a giant thumbs up for keeping a consistent project going through this crazy year. It is fairly unlike me to […]

erik & jenna: part 1

Posted in Wedding

July 26, 2014 was beautiful. I met Jenna through friends at church around the same time she started working at the advertising agency where I work. People kept telling me I would really like her, and they were spot on. She is, as the pastor said during their ceremony: “One laid back chicken.” She and […]

Uh oh… it’s almost birthday time! Which means last year at this time, I was in full belly mode, anxiously awaiting little miss’s arrival. I remember it was HOT, I could hardly remember not being pregnant, we were only 90% decided on her name, and we were dying to know what she would look like. […]

luisa: one year!

Posted in Family

I got to hang out with this sweet little blondie the other night. Her three older sisters were on duty jumping, playing “peek” and making fun faces to get their baby sis to giggle. We recruited them at the end of our session to be official ice cream cone holders. Any excuse for ice cream […]

the auch family

Some of our very favorite people came through town and I snagged an evening of pictures with them before they whisked their sweet baby Emma back to Oklahoma. “Emma-pants”, as her daddy affectionately calls her, is incredibly soft, dainty and sweet. Her little grin gives her away though – she’s got a world of mischief […]

She is ten months old! We’re having so much fun with her. My favorite thing lately is watching her learn things I would not have imagined happening already. She is mimicking us, and you can see her little wheels turning. I’ve added brushing her hair and brushing her teeth to the bedtime routine we try […]

How many times can I say “I love the Smiths”? Do I say it too much? I don’t know. I just really love the Smiths. They are some of my favorite people. I jump in my car after photos with them, totally exhausted, with worm slime and watermelon juice on my hands and the giddy […]

A few weeks back, my little lady turned 9 months old! That little milestone had me thinking so much about her independence. For 9 months, she was inside me, depending on me in the most natural, basic ways, and I was constantly and involuntarily meeting those little needs with every breath. I loved having her […]

the orton family: will is one!

My nephew is one year old. So crazy! I am so proud of him and so lucky to know him, much less be his aunt and get to spend special time seeing him become who he was created to be. He is thoughtful, funny and adventurous, and the cutest redhead ever. I think he likes […]
