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

Posted in Engagement

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 […]

I’m awfully glad this warm (and hilarious!) family rolled the dice on a late November family session, because we got crazy amounts of gorgeous family fun in this session! Not to mention, the weather was as good as we could have asked for. I’ve never had so much fun with portraits of the parents. Rich and […]

I know that not every family is made up of siblings who desire and choose to remain in one another’s lives long past the point where that is easy and natural. I’m incredibly lucky to be in one where that is the case. This is my sister and her family. If you’ve followed my work for […]

Just look at this SUPER cute family!!!!! Ahh! Sweet Mackenzie stole my heart during our afternoon together. She is as sweet as they come. Her parents aren’t too shabby either – check out her gorgeous, glowing mama Megan and proud daddy Craig. I can’t get enough of these three – soon to be four! Mackenzie on the […]

One of my last fall sessions of the year didn’t feel like just any session – it was with my best friend and her adorable, growing family. If you don’t remember her from about this time last year, let me introduce Bethany and her new arm candy Henry. And here’s the proud big sister, Agnes. She’s […]

Recognize these lovelies? This is their FOURTH appearance on the blog (2012, 2013 and 2014!), and of course, I look forward to our session every year, because there’s absolutely never a dull moment. 🙂 When the kids pick the poses and it turns out perfectly. Well done, Izzy! John, here’s a preview of your senior photos, ok? But […]

Gosh. Another family of people so special to me. I get to call Ashley “family” – she was my Big Sis in our college sorority, and such a dear friend throughout and beyond our time together there. Now she has these three handsome boys with her and it was a complete honor to photograph them together. […]

I don’t even know how to preface this post, except that it may be one of my favorite sessions to date. The last time I photographed these guys, I believe Ayla (the youngest) had just turned one. I fell in love with photographing sisters, and it was a sweet reunion to do it again with these […]

One of my favorite families is back!!! Last fall, I met these three wonderful people, and little Ariadne rocked an entire session that was largely about her with a big ol’ fever. This time we managed to not be sick, and she was sweet as ever. I love, love, love seeing how these kiddos and families […]

What a crew this was! I laughed hard, smiled a whole bunch, and worked up a sweat during their fall family session, and it was well worth it. This is such a special family and I’ve been looking forward to their session for almost a year now! I drew Jennifer’s name to win the session giveaway […]
