Some of our very favorite people came through town and I snagged an evening of pictures with them before they whisked their sweet baby Emma back to Oklahoma. “Emma-pants”, as her daddy affectionately calls her, is incredibly soft, dainty and sweet. Her little grin gives her away though – she’s got a world of mischief […]

How many times can I say “I love the Smiths”? Do I say it too much? I don’t know. I just really love the Smiths. They are some of my favorite people. I jump in my car after photos with them, totally exhausted, with worm slime and watermelon juice on my hands and the giddy […]

My nephew is one year old. So crazy! I am so proud of him and so lucky to know him, much less be his aunt and get to spend special time seeing him become who he was created to be. He is thoughtful, funny and adventurous, and the cutest redhead ever. I think he likes […]

There is a mohawked, karaoke-loving, extremely creative Asian man in Lincoln, Nebraska named Johnny Le. That man is my boss. 🙂 I’ve had the privilege of working for him since college and in the past year have gotten to meet his family twice for photos (see last year’s here). I certainly have to drink an […]

They’re back! Some of my favorite people to photograph have been in front of my lens lately. My friend Amy (see my favorite pics of her family here) asked me about taking photos of her whole family (siblings, kids, parents, grandparents…) and I was both excited and overwhelmed. I’ve never done a session with this […]

I had an extremely fun, goofy, bright and happy shoot with these two lovely ladies the other night. Mother/daughter photos are so special to me right now and these were no exception. After spending just an hour with them, I had a permanent smile on my face thinking of how unashamedly silly they are with […]

Say hello to the Cordells! Last Saturday, we had ourselves a fun hour of running around, throwing grass, picking flowers, sitting in anthills (just me, actually), and being very patient posing for photos before getting to run over to where the fun is really at: the park! They are such a sweet family. You can […]

What to say about this sweet family? All I can think is it was so special to photograph them as they are right now, with their beautiful daughter Eva, when I’ve known them for almost 10 years now! I’m so tempted to preface this shoot with somewhat embarrassing pictures of them, myself, and several other […]

If you’ve read this blog for awhile or followed my photography, you know I am in love with clients I get to photograph twice…or more! I met Sam when he was just six months and content to stare straight at my lens and make adorable faces for a few hours. Then I got to snap […]

First post of 2013! Yes! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Years. I was lucky enough to spend my day off on New Years Eve taking photos of these guys and their family that consists of two wonderful people + two big, beautiful dogs. We started off in their amazing condo […]

The last time I took pictures of this adorable family, Lily was nineteen days old. She is preciously sweet and I can’t get enough of all that red-head love. These guys are one of my most encouraging client families (and were one of my first!) and I love working with them. You can see their […]

Blog, meet Jeff, Laura & Landon. Lovely people, aren’t they? I certainly think so. We spent a fun afternoon together, chasing after the little man as he satisfied his curiosity, walking down lots of steps and picking out the family Christmas tree. This picture is my favorite. I’m not entirely sure why, but I love […]

This is how I feel about winter… …so I couldn’t blame little Evie one bit for shivering during our shoot last weekend. The air had a little snap to it. But my goodness, this girl, and her parents, too, for that matter, were such troopers. They didn’t seem to mind the cold and looked gorgeous […]

What can I say about the Clarks? Tom and Ruth are wonderful friends. I’ve known them for a few years now and they are generous, fun, thoughtful and they thoroughly enjoy people. Their sweet Lydia Jane is just that. So sweet. Thanks for spending the afternoon with me sitting around a park and playing with […]

Say hello to the Le family! These three kids know how to have major fun. I’m not surprised at all, because I have the pleasure of knowing their dad (he’s my boss!) and I can’t imagine his family would be made up of anything less than energetic, life-loving, full throttle people. I mean, three mohawks […]

Meet Amy, Jason & Hudson! A few weeks ago, I nervously watched the weather every morning wondering if these photos were going to be shot in the bitter cold of an approaching winter. Instead, we were blessed with what was probably the last warm day of the year. It was beautiful outside, and these three […]

Happy birthday, little man! A few weekends ago, I got to spend a lovely (only slightly chilly) afternoon with this family again. I love, love, love working with clients a second time. It’s so relaxed and fun. These guys are total naturals. I’ll take pictures of Smiths anyday! My fave. Trey took a little spill […]
