This session has me so excited. I get to shoot Erik & Jenna’s wedding in July! And since these two are so much fun, I’d say it’s going to be a pretty good time. They are so relaxed, clearly in love with one another, and up for anything. Erik is in the process of being […]
These photos are becoming increasingly difficult to take. Mainly due to the fact that Claire’s resting state involves bouncing and that chair cushion is the perfect surface for that. She also likes to explore beyond the edge of the chair, so Dad has to “spot” her lying on the floor, which is incredibly distracting for […]
Seven months old. Woah! I just could not love this girl any more. The collage of monthly pictures always makes me giddy with anticipation of what the next month and the next photo will reveal. It’s like unlocking little pieces of who she is as she grows. Lately, we are bursting with pent-up-all-winter-long energy. Spring […]
Yeah, yeah, I’m a month behind. I know. I will probably always be at least a month behind. 🙂 She grew again. Six months is so much fun. She is so funny – loves attention, passionately plays to the point of frustration, and concentrates so very hard all day long. Her energy level far surpasses […]
I had the honor of taking these photos of my brother and soon-to-be new sister-in-law just days after they got engaged. My thoughts as I edited them drifted from how very lucky I’ve been in the sister-in-law lottery (praise God! for real!), to how I adore the beautiful combination of goofy delight and serious respect […]
She is five months this week! I’m feeling it. I’m feeling how fast it’s all going. It’s really beautiful, in so many ways, but heartbreaking at the same time. I read yesterday that it’s a good thing each new stage of watching a child grow up contains so much to look forward to, or else […]
Quick! Before she goes to college! Claire hit 4 months just a few weeks before Christmas. She seems to change daily (seriously!) and it is amazing to see a little person become more and more who they are created to be. Her personality is materializing and I can only imagine where it’s headed. She’s still […]
There is a mohawked, karaoke-loving, extremely creative Asian man in Lincoln, Nebraska named Johnny Le. That man is my boss. 🙂 I’ve had the privilege of working for him since college and in the past year have gotten to meet his family twice for photos (see last year’s here). I certainly have to drink an […]
There’s a beautiful new baby girl in the world, and she belongs to these two. Welcome to the world, Adynn. You have quite the adoring entourage, and you’re worth every little hug, cuddle, and kiss. I think this little man deserves a shoutout. Being a big brother is exciting, but it can be hard to […]
They’re back! Some of my favorite people to photograph have been in front of my lens lately. My friend Amy (see my favorite pics of her family here) asked me about taking photos of her whole family (siblings, kids, parents, grandparents…) and I was both excited and overwhelmed. I’ve never done a session with this […]
In terms of Chinese New Years, this is certainly not the Year of the Blog for me. Not only have I all but given up reading the thirty-some blogs I used to follow on a daily basis, but I’ve also entrenched myself in another slump of neglecting my posts here. It seems there are a […]
Our daughter, Claire Amelia Rawson, was born August 14, 2013. She weighed 8lbs 6oz, and measured 20.5 inches long. She is so many things. Wondrous, innocent, stunning, curious, needy, funny, seemingly flawless…my new parent’s heart could go on and on. David and I are so wonderfully fortunate to get to be in her life and […]
These were the last photos I got to take before the birth of my sweet daughter (who I’ll introduce here once I’ve got some of her photos ready!). So fun and fitting to celebrate another friend’s journey through pregnancy alongside my own. These two are incredibly special people to me. I met them a few […]
Meet the Wiedeman family: adorable brother love, smitten parents, one awesome, pirate-loving and proud big brother, and a delightful new addition with a full head of awesome hair! So happy to have these four on the blog today. How gorgeous does Krista look?! It was definitely over 90 degrees when we shot these and she […]
I had an extremely fun, goofy, bright and happy shoot with these two lovely ladies the other night. Mother/daughter photos are so special to me right now and these were no exception. After spending just an hour with them, I had a permanent smile on my face thinking of how unashamedly silly they are with […]
