When I get the chance to hang with a family that has three fantastic little BOYS, it’s such a treat for me. I mean, I spend lots of time doing girly things with my two daughters – I absolutely love it, but hanging with the boys is a pretty fun change for a day. These three brothers […]

You know a family is made of solid gold if they stay calm under pressure. Allllll day long the forecast waffled on whether or not it would rain the evening of my session with these rad people, and they showed up ready to go, embracing overcast skies and wet grass. It resulted in the most […]

Lake house: check. Relaxed, low-key vibes: check. Gorgeous family: check. Love, a spunky two-year-old and a touch of yellow: check, check, check! This session was SO good for my soul!!! We can talk about the amazing lake house in a bit, but first, how adorable is this crew?! I dare you not to have warm fuzzy […]

These are some of the best people in the world, and naturally, they’re some of my faves to photograph. They. Are. Amazing. (See what I did there? But really, click on that last one. Coralee’s newborn sessions is one of my favorites of all time.) To prove how awesome they are, they decided to make a […]

My heart feels all the best feels when I get to photograph families a second time, much less a third or fourth. I love seeing how their kids have changed, even if it’s only been a few months, and each time the dynamic is a little different and I get to know them that much […]

These guys are such dear friends, and while I’m not thrilled they moved away from Lincoln (lucky Iowa…), I’m over the moon that they came back through for a photo session with their sweet baby Lila! Lila is just one week younger than my youngest daughter, and it is SO fun to photograph a baby the […]

Ohhhhh, if ever a family stole my heart during a session it was this one. I mean, I got teary editing these because these girls are just that sugary sweet and they just melt me! Say hello to Abigal and Grace, little darlings of Andrea and Greg. The stars aligned so we could photograph them […]

This whole session gets a big “Heck, YES” from me. Two stinkin’ adorable blue-eyed brothers and their funny (and equally cute) parents, plus we started things off at home to include sweet Margo the pup. I’ll take that any day of the week. 😉 Landon is killing me in this one! His eyes bore through your soul, […]

Ohhhhh you guys. You’d better get comfy, because this session is a definite favorite. I had the hardest time narrowing down images to share! Meet Craig & Melissa’s beloved crew! First up: mama with baby Asa. This smiley boy is so sweet and funny. He’s got a smile the size of his whole face (maybe bigger?), […]

Even though this adorable (and incredibly sharp-looking) family was anxiously awaiting the birth of their second kiddo, they were as laid-back as could be for our maternity session. I love photographing families just before they change forever. It’s the most exciting time! We took advantage of the spotlight still being on Grayson and got some […]

So here’s a little fun fact about me: I have a total obsession with getting out of town, driving on gravel roads, and sneaking out to the rural parts of Nebraska. It doesn’t take much of an excuse, and I’m gone. When those drives land me on the cutest little acreage EVER with the kindest family […]

Recognize these sweet faces?! I got to photograph them last fall, and was honored (and so excited!) to grab another family session with them this spring. Look at sweet Kinsley!!! She is a total firecracker. We unintentionally grabbed a similar shot to our last shoot – this girl has the best seat in the house. […]

I have been looking forward to this session for a LONG time. It was on my calendar for months, and I’d gotten a little tease of photographing this family last fall. When Niki loved the idea of shooting at a greenhouse, I got even more hyped up. You guys. It did NOT disappoint. Look at […]

This shoot. I wanted to do this shoot justice maybe more than any family I’ve photographed before. There’s something about these three, and it’s not just the unique circumstances they find themselves in. There’s a joy that’s present in this family, and it just begs to be shown – it HAS to be seen. It’s […]

best of 2015

Reflecting on the last year is always mind-blowing (even when it’s done in February – whoops!). Did all this really happen in the same year?! As I looked through nearly every photo I took in 2015, I found myself smiling – a lot – and even laughing out loud at my desk, remembering the amazing […]

I’ve had some amazingly fun opportunities this year to photograph extended families. This one ranks pretty high up there since this particular family is so special to me. Three of them are dear college friends of mine, and I loved all the memories that were called to mind as I edited these. 🙂 Road trips, hiking […]

When I first met LeRoy, he left an unmistakeable impression, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would say that of meeting him. He is so friendly it startles you, and I mean that in the best possible way. Everything I know of him is an encouragement, and so I was thrilled to have […]
