the peterson family

Posted in Newborn

We’ve got snow here this week, and I imagine this family is right where I left ’em. Snuggled up with their CUTE little boy Jett! He already has such a presence, this guy, and it’s my favorite thing to imagine newborns a year or two down the road – fully embracing all their unique personality. […]

Lucien’s smile gets more intense and wonderful every time I see him! You can feel the energy he brings to this family and they clearly adore him for it. He will return a smile to anyone, but this sweet little guy saves his belly laughs for his sister. 🙂 Both their smiles just take your […]

The Le family is back! It’s always a pleasure having this crew in front of my camera. These siblings know each other oh-so-well, and don’t take any nonsense from each other. Well, maybe Hudson does. 🙂 He is smiley, easy-going, and ready to goof around at the drop of a hat. John Jr. is making […]

This fall welcomed another tiny and wonderful person to the planet. Her name is Wren and she’s so incredibly sweet! When I first met Karl and Cassie, I knew they would be incredible parents. They have all the calm, cool, collected skills to handle anything this tiny nugget could possibly throw their way. Wren, you […]

Joy! This session was pure joy. Gosh, this family has something special going on. Each of their three personalities spark something magical in one another and you cannot help but love them, so don’t even try. Maybe all this joy has something to do with smiley eyes, because those genes are strong here for sure! […]

I’m a bit behind on blogging, but this sweet little newborn family session is not to be missed! Chad, Halley and Hattie welcomed a tiny, beautiful boy in October. Calvin is so precious it hurts, and as you can see, he is well-loved by all. His itty-bitty features are the best! This house has no […]

But this family lucked out – they were in a little bubble of calm, tranquil bliss when I got to meet sweet Rowyn! And OH MY, this tiny sweetheart is absolute perfection. She’s got […]

By God’s grace, I’ve been witness to this family’s story for a long time. Care for a little blog trivia? True or false: John and Jami were the first couple to ever hire me for photos. It’s TRUE! That was way back when their oldest was a baby bump. It’s unbelievable to see how their […]

Ben’s parents and I joked about him being a perfect baby, but isn’t it true? There’s nothing NOT to love about little Ben! He is six months old and so wonderful. Top guarantee for a smile from Ben? A silly face from Dad. This exchange is so cute it’ll make your heart explode. Baby Ben […]

The one and only Hassler fam is BACK! So many giggles, so much brother-induced ridiculousness, so many tolerant and knowing looks from Chris, and a standout October evening. This was fall photo perfection. Sam, there’s just no way you were once the tiny, wide-eyed baby in a bear-eared fleece suit I got to photograph in […]

My favorite spot to place a brand new thirdborn for my favorite photo of their session is snug between their siblings. The proud siblings grow quiet and gentle and the cutest moments follow. Theo’s session was so sweet – full of these tender moments but also jumping on the bed (not Theo, of course) and […]

I REALLY enjoy these guys. They laugh, make faces, roll eyes, snuggle, give knowing looks, and best of all on this particular night, put up with quite chilly temps for the sake of family photographs. They win in my book! I am so happy Lloyd and Lori chose to capture this particular moment in their […]

A beautiful family with lots of love and a showy, Nebraska fall day for photos. This girl couldn’t ask for much more! Welcome back to the blog, Duncans! There is an abundance of soul, spunk (as I like to refer to it), laughter and amusing antics in this family’s makeup. I love how easily and […]

Families that return for round two or three or…SIX…warm my heart in a special way. What an honor it’s been to be capturing this crew year by year for a stretch of time. They are quite special and always energetic, and I just really like them. 🙂 They really love each other. You can see […]

Wow, did I leave this photo session with a huge smile on my face! It really couldn’t possibly be more fun to hang out with the Sova family. They are pure sunshine + spunk, walking around in 5 different bodies. Elana and Kennedy, these photos immediately take me back to the first time I met […]

This crew gets cuter every couple of months! How is it possible?! Lucien is six months old already, and you can tell they’re all settling into whatever rhythm you can find with two small children who change constantly. Delphine is proving to be every bit the amazing big sister she was predicted to be. She’s […]
