Lucien’s smile gets more intense and wonderful every time I see him! You can feel the energy he brings to this family and they clearly adore him for it. He will return a smile to anyone, but this sweet little guy saves his belly laughs for his sister. 🙂 Both their smiles just take your […]

The Le family is back! It’s always a pleasure having this crew in front of my camera. These siblings know each other oh-so-well, and don’t take any nonsense from each other. Well, maybe Hudson does. 🙂 He is smiley, easy-going, and ready to goof around at the drop of a hat. John Jr. is making […]

What a joy to witness firsthand how a family has changed in a year! Erin and Alan have three incredible boys, each with distinctly wonderful personalities. Each time I see them is a delight! These are the tiny faces of boys who will remain strong friends their whole lives. John is already impressive at age […]

Joy! This session was pure joy. Gosh, this family has something special going on. Each of their three personalities spark something magical in one another and you cannot help but love them, so don’t even try. Maybe all this joy has something to do with smiley eyes, because those genes are strong here for sure! […]

By God’s grace, I’ve been witness to this family’s story for a long time. Care for a little blog trivia? True or false: John and Jami were the first couple to ever hire me for photos. It’s TRUE! That was way back when their oldest was a baby bump. It’s unbelievable to see how their […]

Ben’s parents and I joked about him being a perfect baby, but isn’t it true? There’s nothing NOT to love about little Ben! He is six months old and so wonderful. Top guarantee for a smile from Ben? A silly face from Dad. This exchange is so cute it’ll make your heart explode. Baby Ben […]

The one and only Hassler fam is BACK! So many giggles, so much brother-induced ridiculousness, so many tolerant and knowing looks from Chris, and a standout October evening. This was fall photo perfection. Sam, there’s just no way you were once the tiny, wide-eyed baby in a bear-eared fleece suit I got to photograph in […]

A beautiful family with lots of love and a showy, Nebraska fall day for photos. This girl couldn’t ask for much more! Welcome back to the blog, Duncans! There is an abundance of soul, spunk (as I like to refer to it), laughter and amusing antics in this family’s makeup. I love how easily and […]

Families that return for round two or three or…SIX…warm my heart in a special way. What an honor it’s been to be capturing this crew year by year for a stretch of time. They are quite special and always energetic, and I just really like them. 🙂 They really love each other. You can see […]

Wow, did I leave this photo session with a huge smile on my face! It really couldn’t possibly be more fun to hang out with the Sova family. They are pure sunshine + spunk, walking around in 5 different bodies. Elana and Kennedy, these photos immediately take me back to the first time I met […]

This crew gets cuter every couple of months! How is it possible?! Lucien is six months old already, and you can tell they’re all settling into whatever rhythm you can find with two small children who change constantly. Delphine is proving to be every bit the amazing big sister she was predicted to be. She’s […]

No one could ever say this family is lacking in personality. I love the Mullers!!! Family photo night with them was absolutely perfect. They know how to have fun together which is one of my personal top family values. Their laughter comes easily and usually because of something they all know really, really well about […]

You are about to be overwhelmed with cuteness by these two sweethearts! I can’t think of a better way to begin a Monday. 🙂 You may remember this fabulous family if you keep an eye on things around the blog. But you’d have to go quite a way back to the first session I ever […]

This precious family is back with 3-month old Lucien! They are always happy to be around one another. I’ve been around them quite a bit and it’s always been the case! There’s so much peace and comfort in this family. His mama knew exactly how to bring out Lucien’s adorable smile! Ohhhh how sweet it […]

Keith and Morgan and Thomas. They are the dang happiest (and CUTEST) family around! Thomas is everything wonderful a two-year-old boy could possibly be. He is sweet, rambunctious, funny, eager, curious, and super-in-love with his parents. Photographing him was simply delightful. I think in this family’s case, the wild look in Thomas’ eyes comes from […]

So much fun with the Jacksons! This session had everything a summer family session ought to have. ADORABLE family – half the members loving it, half totally ready to go home (because they’re normal humans!), kids teasing each other, dog-wrangling, a gorgeous Nebraska night, and a bullfrog. Did I miss anything?? Jason and Gina, you […]

Sometimes a family has such a tight-knit dynamic it’s like they have their own language. I felt that way about the Ring family. They know each other so well and the looks they exchanged and even the way they walked together had a well-worn rhythm to it. Aren’t they the cutest? I really hope my […]

I am well aware from personal experience how nerve-wracking it can be to get your family ready for a photo session. BUT my favorite thing about them is that once you arrive, your part is done (you are all dressed! you arrived! you did it!) and I get to take over and watch alllll the […]
