I’m doing a happy dance over here, because Zach & Becca’s wedding is in just over a month, and I get to photograph it!!! We got together for an engagement session, and wow. Just, wow. It got me even more hyped up to document and bottle up the greatness that will be their wedding day. […]
These two. Where to even start? Maybe you remember them from the adorable “just because” session we did last fall. Everyone who knows them loves them. They are passionate, dedicated, funny, lovely people who are about to be parents for the first time. Eee! I’m just so excited for them, and completely honored to call […]
Say hello to one of the world’s newest residents. Little boys like Andrew are just….*sigh* perfect. He turned me into a melty puddle as soon as I met him. I know his GORGEOUS mom from college days, and she is an incredible gem of a friend – the kind you rejoice over when she tells […]
A few weeks ago, on a gorgeous day in June, Andrew & Mikaela became Mr. & Mrs.! These two individuals are so genuinely warm, kind, relaxed, and true-to-themselves, and it showed throughout their day. Their wedding was classic, elegant, and warm-hearted – a perfect reflection of their personalities and relationship. I loved every second, especially […]
This family is pretty extraordinary. They are precious to so many people, myself included. I met Tyler and Joy at the University of Nebraska when we were all students together, way before they were dating…married…having a cute baby boy. They’re just the people you want to follow out to the family farm to photograph their […]
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! Every single person in their family, down to the littlest grandkid (ok, especially the littlest grandkid) has a super contagious smile, and I couldn’t have had more fun photographing them. 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 […]
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, […]
After hanging out with this sweet family for a maternity shoot, I am beyond excited to meet their fourth member in March! I’m sure she will be just as awesome as her parents and big sis. These photos say so much to me about family, and real life and waiting. We were so lucky to have one […]
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 […]
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, […]
