I say I love all my clients, because I absolutely do. And I know it’s repetitive, but when you get to photograph families like this, how can you not sing their praises? One of the beautiful things about photographing people is getting to know them in a way you might otherwise not. Spending relaxed time […]

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 […]

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 […]

here’s to the moms

Posted in Family

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 […]

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 […]

best of 2014

Posted in Engagement

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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!
