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 […]

What a sweet family! Ariadne, the cutest one-year-old on the block, turned ONE just the day before we took these. She was very busy doing big girl, one-year-old things throughout the session, like peek-a-boo, funny faces and sounds, clapping, showing off her big personality, and looking cute, of course. Basically, she killed it. 🙂 I love […]

It was painful, PAINFUL, I TELL YOU, to only choose a handful of photos for this blog post. Addison pretty much turned each picture into gold throughout our entire time together, and her infectious smile brings a matching one to my face every time I look at these. What a sweetheart! Addison is the ultimate […]

I can sum up the evening that produced these photographs with just a few words: Mischief. Dancing. Sunshine. Sisters. Does it get much better than that? Thank you so much, Nykodym fam, for such a fun time!

Oh, this family. Chris and Kara have gifted the world by bringing five little Proctor children into it. Each one of them is a total delight and sweet as can be. As far as I know, everyone just kind of adores the whole crew. So the other day we made some photo magic, ran around […]

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’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 […]

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 […]
