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 […]
Oh, my heart! These four lit up that glowy magic hour of sunlight, and their kids filled my heart up with happy kid feelings. 🙂 It was SUCH a good night! First, meet Claire. I know. I was partial to her from the start because of her name (obviously), and those incredible baby blues. She […]
John and Jami are one of the first couples I ever photographed. They asked me to take maternity photos when Jami was pregnant with Lillian. I gulped, somewhat terrified of maternity photos at the time (ha! not anymore!), went for it, and fell in love with spending time with people and my camera during such […]
These three were such a treat to photograph – so chill and laid-back. We trudged through grasshopper infested fields like this pretty one, played with the grass and threw rocks in the water on the loveliest fall day. Meet Kinsley. This sweet girl is full of fun, and has a precious look of mischief mixed with […]
It’s been a while since I photographed this family for the first time. Eva was not quite a year old, and now Ruby is just a bit older than Eva during that first session. We also got some newborn loving in when Ruby was born. 🙂 *sigh* I adore these four, and the sister love […]
I heart this family with all the big puffy heart emojis that exist. We’ve partied with them before for maternity and newborn photos. They are some of the most selfless people I know and have blessed my community in countless ways. People like that can’t help but radiate love, and I’m not kidding when I say I […]
I’m digging all the extended family love lately! This family was sooooo much fun and the cute factor, well, it was through the roof! From the four sweet little cousins to all the color pop in the outfits, these guys’ game was on point. 😉 Oh, the bows!!! And these two are clearly besties for […]
Prepare your hearts for so much adorable love. I’m definitely partial. I had the humbling privilege of photographing my nieces, brother and sister-in-law as a new family of four, including some one-month-old photos of the newest little darling to our family, Nora. She has followed her big sister’s footsteps by being breathtakingly beautiful and my favorite thing – she has […]
It’s a tall order to photograph a family of twenty-one people. Thankfully, this one happened to be 100% awesome, and made it ever-so-easy. After spending just a few hours with these guys, I felt like I knew their family, and could have stayed and chatted for hours. They made this feel so much more like […]
I haven’t had this tough of a time choosing my favorite images to blog in a WHILE. I started out with twice this many! This family was just so adorable and fun to work with. Let me start by introducing you to Miles – the sweet, handsome, focused little guy hangin’ out in dad’s lap. He […]
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 […]
Say hello to Bruce & Donna! Every single person in their family, down to the littlest grandkid (ok, especially the littlest grandkid) has a super contagious smile, and I couldn’t have had more fun photographing them. 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 […]
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 […]
