Oh my goodness. Buckle up for this blog post! It’s just about the best thing ever. Elmer and Johana have been together for five years, and when Johana reached out to schedule photos for them with her son Daniel, she had no idea how the night would unfold. Elmer let me know he had some […]

There was a special energy about this family on this night. They’re my kind of people! So relaxed, so themselves, so happy to be with one another. I left feeling wonderful about life and humanity. Thanks for that, Bakers! Sandie and Jim = relationship goals. I love how much fun they have together, and how […]

I’ve photographed this kid a whole bunch, and every time has been wildly different. Makes sense, right? They change quite a bit in a year, and with […]

There was serious Nebraska beauty the night the Andersens hung out with me for photos on their acreage. Great people, big skies, chickens…it was heaven! Christina and Charles are raising three lovely kids. Owen, Caitlin and Kayliana are nothing short of charming. Hands down, the best part of my job is gaining so many new […]

This family just may actually be part sunshine. Sammi and Steven and their adorable children filled my day with it, at least! We had an intimate, chill family session at their home, and I got to catch a sweet glimpse of life with the Kaisers. Will. His crinkle-nose, tooth-baring smile is to die for. His […]

I enjoyed the most laid-back, natural family session with these four. Erick and Tracy have the SWEETEST little boys. Christopher and Collin were so fun to photograph, and they have such a cute, budding friendship that’s going to last forever. I can feel it! Christopher must have doubled in height since I last saw him. […]

It has been an absolute blast photographing these two brothers throughout the first year of Kayden’s life. They are so sweet and kind, and have energy brimming up to their eyeballs. Each session has been a highlight! Head back to see Kayden’s dreamy newborn session and how much fun they were stirring up after six […]

Welcome back to the blog, Erika, Stefan and Sophia! Six months with a new baby takes no time at all. Sophia has morphed into a busy, playful, smiley girl, but hasn’t lost an ounce of sweetness. I love that she is nearly a 50/50 blend of her parents’ looks. She unmistakably belongs to them! The […]

I absolutely love getting together with this crew. They are so full of life, always joking with one another and the kids are total straight-shooters (inspiring laughter from dad and head shaking from mom). I always leave smiling and full of energy. They’re awesome. Remember Calvin? Remember how cute and adorable and little he was […]

Woah, these boys are handsome! These two brothers won me over (in about .02 seconds) at Kayden’s newborn session and here we are six months later! It was a delight to see them again. Kayden was pretty serious-faced and curious during our time unless Kian was in sight, and then it was just adorable smiles […]

It was pure joy to have these cuties back for photos this year. They may as well be adults, now, and sister dynamics are basically my favorite thing ever. We had a fun time! Sienna is just striking! Her style, personality, pixie cut (heck yeah!) and dimples are the best combo. She’s also very poised, […]

Before you begin scrolling through this session, take a moment to prepare your eyes for cuteness. There are really high amounts of it and you may appreciate the warning. Ready? Great. Let’s go! Maximus is a handsome, curious, wild three-year-old, and sweet, mover-and-shaker Graycen recently celebrated her first birthday. They are quite the duo, and […]

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of hanging out with the Hasslers, you know that you leave that time with a totally full heart.

It’s one adorable moment after another with this fun bunch. I’m so excited to have them back on the blog! When the kids stepped out of the car for photos, I literally gasped. Life’s not fair in terms of how rapidly the littles become bigs. *SIGH* The twins are basically giants now! Sweet, happy, darling […]

Having this beautiful family with two firecracker girls on the blog is ALWAYS such a treat! I love love love the Mullers! Even in 2020 – this bizarre, off-kilter year – they are full of joy, passion and personality. It’s comforting to know some things don’t change. I love a good flashback – hop back […]
