Wow! We could not have had a better night for a glowy, gorgeous family session! I pinched myself more than once as I photographed this beloved crew. It’s been a few years, and while I’m not surprised at how stunning these ladies have become, it did feel like such a treat to have them in […]

Oh, it always feels fantastic to see these faces around these parts. They’re back! The Harlows are celebrating a milestone this year as their oldest, Lydia, is in her final year of high school. Feels like they’re on the cusp of big change, but their joy hasn’t diminished one bit. They’re they same old delightful […]

Doesn’t this dear family bring an immediate smile to your face? It’s unavoidable! Time with the Loos crew is simply a treasure, a fact I was well aware of when we met outside UNL’s Sheldon Museum of Art for what was sure to be a beautiful night for photos. That’s exactly what it turned out […]

These four are here to prove that you can and should let the kids be kids during a family session! Boy, do these boys make life fun! Jaxson and Beckham really love to live fast, loud and wild. They run, and run, and RUN around their family’s beautiful property during photos each year and it’s […]

If you’re looking to get your steps in for the day, I highly recommend hanging out with the Hull family for an hour! Following Silas and Charli around will guarantee you cover lots of ground in no time. 😉 We did all the walking, plus climbing, shoulder rides, spinning – it was such a lovely […]

The joy and delight these people have in one another – it is so magical. I am a big time Wirtz fan, and it’s always a treat to photograph them. They smile nonstop, they are kind and considerate to one another, and the girls are growing into such lovely ‘big kids’. The time is flying! […]

Chasing, playing, tickling, dodging, running, scooping, giggling, spinning…this is what you can expect during family pictures, especially with active brothers like Ravi and Prem! What a delight watching this family love each other. Ravi! This boy is intelligent and thoughtful and such a fantastic big brother! He’s got just the right amount of mischief hiding […]

These beautiful people! They are just wonderful. I remember their first session like it was yesterday (wasn’t it?) and here their girls are becoming the most lovely individuals, right before my lens. And the pups! It’s chaotic perfection to get them in a few pics and totally worth it. Truly, they take my breath away. […]

Welcome back, Morris fam, Sandi and Kipp! Gosh, it’s good to see your faces around here. All I will say in prelude to this session is that it was special. Incredibly special. Get in a photo with your precious people, friends. You will thank yourself for that. I cannot wait to share the magic of […]

The sweetest family came for photos at the Sunken Gardens! They recently welcomed a little boy – Ryker – to their crew and we all enjoyed admiring him fully. Adalyynn, you are so lovely! This girl is kind, poised and lots of fun. She seems awfully grown up for her eleven years. It was so […]

Is it just me, or does each session with this joyful crew get better and better? This time we were celebrating a first birthday for John Raphael! Happy Birthday, sweet boy! It has been such a joy to see you grow and continually be showered in love and affection from all sides over the past […]

To say this boy is loved is to state the obvious. But let’s state it: this boy is so loved! I would never turn down a chance at photos with this crew. Their energy is always spot on and it’s been such a pleasure to get to know them over the years. John Raphael is […]

Yao and Jenny and their lovely family came out on a perfect spring night for photos, and it was nothing short of gorgeous! These guys have every reason to mark this season as one to remember. They recently welcomed their sweet daughter Olivia, and Jenny’s parents who’ve been visiting from China were able to join […]

Guillaume, Jennifer and their wonderful kiddos are back again! It’s always a sunshine-y day when they’re on the blog. 🙂 John Raphael is seven months! What a sweet and easy-going baby he is. It’s so much fun watching him bask in the attentions of the whole fam. He’s both adorable and adored! This one was […]

Ok, it’s a cuteness overload! Logan and Clara are pure delight, and photographing their family is always a joy. Clara is nearly ONE, so they have so much to celebrate! I mean…they could not be a more gorgeous family if they tried. 😉 Their genuine enjoyment of each other is the secret sauce! Well, hello […]

I absolutely love the way the Reed family rolls! They are the kind of people you want to hang out with, have as neighbors, hope your kids make friends with theirs… you know. GREAT people! Lucky me, I got to hang out with them and photograph all their laughter and sweetness. The kids! The kids […]

This absolutely gorgeous fall we’re having continued to provide so much beauty as a backdrop for this equally beautiful family! Say hello to Reese and Palmer! They are chock-full of giggles and silliness and personality. Hanging with them is like pouring color into your day. They requested a front-yard session so as to include Kit […]
