jackson + serenity + chloe + shawn

Posted in Family

Cousins! You know I love when families grab the cousins, grandparents, aunts, uncles, whoever, for a session. This one was so much fun. You may remember Jackson and his awesome parents. If not, let me jog your memory. Remember this cuteness? Yeah? Ok, good. Well we got together to celebrate and document his turning 18-months […]

Say hello to Bruce & Donna!

Meet the Schulz family! Can we just take a minute to appreciate their coordination? Nailed it! There are even […]

I totally fell in love with this family. I mean it, I had to hug it out with Ben after we were through. 😉 Besides being one good-lookin’ group, their fun level was a total ten! They were just nothing short of fabulous, and I LOVE the photographs we got. They are exactly the kind of […]

here’s to the moms

Posted in Family

One of my special privileges as a photographer is spending lots of time with moms. I take their photos with the people they treasure most. They are intimate. Often full of joy, comfort, support, laughter and touch. These women vulnerably share their families with me and put their deepest affections on display so I can witness and transform their […]

She’s here! My sweet niece is here. Ohhhh, how my siblings’ babies hold a deep, sweet place in my heart. If I’m allowed to have favorites, they are my first choice of subjects to photograph, and this one is a natural. She bears a striking resemblance to one outstanding big brother, and she’s just dainty and […]

This family. I fell even more in love with them the second time around, and I just cannot get enough. I love photographing young siblings, because they are in for some of the best years of their life growing up together with a constant companion, and they don’t even know it. I love their imperfect way […]

Let me introduce my beautiful sister Molly. She’s been around the blog before, but if you don’t know her, let me tell you she is kind, talented and loves with a genuine, do-anything-for-you heart. She’s especially great at making adorable nephews, so my expectations for impending niece cuteness are QUITE high. 😀 Her husband’s not bad either, […]

announcing: the love story sale

Posted in Other

I’m having a SALE, and I’m really excited about it! I’ve been thinking so much lately about why I do what I do. Why do I take people someplace pretty and click away on my camera and send them the results? It’s not really because people like .jpgs. Or really, that they like standing in […]

best of 2014

Posted in Engagement

I find a lot of personal significance, when I look back at the year 2014. There are the obvious things that were happening, like most of my daughter’s first year of life, big decisions like leaving my day job to pursue photography full time, etc. But amidst those things, I think I just grew a […]

We snagged these shots of this wonderful family on a rainy, December day. I loved that Amber wanted to gift these to her parents for Christmas, since she and her husband were back for the holidays. It was fun to be a part of the gift, and they were awesome, and even braved the elements for […]

I’m thinking of warmer days today, as I sit in my basement office burrow bundled in a blanket, hat and scarf with a space heater blowing on me. I’m a summer person. 🙂 This session wrapped up my “nice-weather” sessions in 2014, and it was a doozy. I have had the privilege of documenting the […]

This cute family makes my job look so easy. Seriously. I’m majorly missing the beautiful late fall weather we were so lucky to have this year, and this session is bringing it all back. 🙂 Not only are they really adorable, these guys are a fantastic, laid-back, party-of-three, and they have so much love for Jackson, […]

I don’t know what runs through your mind when you see a family with four girls, but if you’ve spent any time with this one, that thought starts with a big smile spread across your face. I can’t get enough of these cuties! They each have such different, perfect personalities and I can only imagine all […]

David and I were married on the last beautiful Saturday of the fall in 2008. It was warm, the colors were full, and winter arrived in Nebraska while we were still on our honeymoon. When a wedding takes place on that kind of day, it’s not just sentimental to me, it’s a significant and beautiful passage of two seasons […]

When I think of Tyler and Mandy, the phrase that comes to mind is “Killing it”! Because that’s what these two are doing with life. They are so much fun, up for anything, super in love (which I super love), and highly creative people with ideas, ideas, ideas. We lucked out with probably the best day […]
