hansen | family | 2024

Meet Thomas! This little guy was born a few weeks early, but the day I photographed him was his actual due date! He was still just so tiny and adorable, and so very sleepy..sleeping the entirety of the shoot! He definitely has some older brothers that absolutely adore him. So grateful to have capture this precious time for them!

fall | 2024 | extended family photos!

Love working with large extended families! Such a fun variety of photos we always get, though I need to be reminded if we missed any as it can sometimes happen. πŸ˜‰ We had the most gorgeous Fall day once again, and I was so happy to capture their time together!

cucinotta | family | 2024

So thankful for clients that refer their friends and family! I recently met this new family and was happy to capture their Fall photos! Their little lady was just the sweetest and seemed to love being in front of the camera. The Fall has been unusually warm with leaves changing colors a lot later, but I will take the comfort of being too warm over being freezing during a session!

rosenblad | family | 2024

Loved capturing these neighbor friends of ours! We met them before they had any kiddos when they first moved in, and it has been fun watching them grow their family over the years! Big brothers were so sweet with miss Emmy, and I hope they grow up to be protective over her. πŸ˜‰ With all the crazy weather happening in the South currently and more recently on the East coast, I am so thankful for the gorgeous, still weather we’ve been having lately, including the night of this session. Florida is currently on my heart and am praying fiercely for everyone’s safety! Here’s a peek at some adorableness from this session!

neville | family | 2024

It’s always fun meeting new families! With their littlest lady turning ONE, what better time to capture some shots of just her to celebrate, along with her whole family! I absolutely love their color combo and even though it could have been a bit cooler for being a Fall day, it was still a lovely evening of capturing their cuteness!

hemje family | 2024

I was recently contacted by a friend’s sister who wanted family photos asap before their first son headed off to college! What a perfect night we had for their session, and capturing them all was so much fun! I seemed to have worn out the boys as they all ended up laying down on the sidewalk towards the end, and so I then had the idea to capture what turned out to be one of my favorite shots!

melsby | retirement | 2024

I was honored to capture Lieutenant Colonel Roby Melsby’s retirement ceremony and celebration! Surrounded by friends and family, it was a great day celebrating such a huge accomplishment of serving 20 years in the military as a pilot. We often see many aircrafts fly over our house — including the E-4B — and now I can tell my kids that I know one of the guys that flies that aircraft. πŸ˜‰ Being in the military is not the easiest with having a family life, so hopefully he knows how grateful we are for his service and we SO appreciate everyone in the military that help protect our freedoms and help our country run more smoothly.

holmes | family | 2024

So happy to have captured this beautiful family on a gorgeous, not too hot, Summer day. Their daughter is in my daughter’s middle school grade, but some of the photos felt like we were taking Senior photos! Just gorgeous. How do these kiddos grow up so fast?! And little bro is a handsome guy who enjoyed getting his photos taken the most. πŸ˜‰ Here’s a peek!

wallis | extended family | 2024

When family comes into town, it’s always a must to capture that time together ~ whether professional or not, though I’d prefer you call me up to capture it! πŸ˜‰ Loved capturing this beautiful, sweet family again. Though, we tend to always pick days that are hot and humid. Tis Summer in Nebraska! The kiddos are always adorable, and I can tell they love having their grandparents and uncle in town. Here’s a peek!

kaska | family | 2024

The Kaska family is just the sweetest! And, I’m so happy to have met them at our church after being introduced by some friends. Kylee came stylin’ in her cute little romper — which I feel only certain people can pull off wearing, and I so wish I was one of them! πŸ˜‰ We met up in some densely tree-covered woods, and though we got beautiful shots, I can definitely see that ticks are thick this year as I had several on me! Why, oh why do they exist on this planet?! The brothers were so cute together, and I can tell that their favorite pose was a piggy back ride ~ that of which their most natural selves came out I think! Here’s a peek.

brooks | newborn | 2024

3 kiddos under 4 and as cute as can be! Little Brooks joined theirΒ  family just a few months ago, and I’m so glad to have captured their time together as a family of 5! Matt and Kelsey are so sweet and natural parents, and I’m so glad we got some cute posed shots even though Brooks was older than my normal timeframe that I photograph newborns. Here’s a peek!

kory | family | 2024

These sweet neighbors of ours moved in not too long ago, and they seem to be leaving just as quick as they came! So happy for their next adventure back in Arizona, but always sad to see good people go, especially when our daughters just started hanging out more! They have the cutest puppies as a part of their family, so capturing photos in their backyard with them was perfect. Here’s a peek!

carmazen | maternity | 2024

Recently, I had a maternity session with this sweet family who is due soon and was referred to me by another client of mine! I absolutely love referrals. πŸ˜‰ Big brother is ready for little brother to arrive soon, and I’m sure he is going to be just as sweet! Here’s a peek at our time together.

matilda | newborn | 2024

I had the most precious little newborn named Matilda in my studio the other day! Born a few weeks early, she was like a little doll that barely made a fuss and slept the entire time! Big brother was so cute and gentle around her, and the whole family is just the sweetest. So happy to have captured this special time of their lives.

extended family | 2023

It was fun capturing a few extended families in their homes during Thanksgiving break, this fun crew being one of them. Right when we started shooting, it started snowing outside, so it was a good thing we were all cozied up inside. πŸ˜‰ Here’s a peek!

fall | extended family | 2023

When your sister’s fam is in town, it is fun to be able to capture your family’s photos together along with your mom!Β I’m so glad the weather cooperated (60’s in November) for us to sneak in an outdoor session! They are such a cute bunch, and I really see the resemblance of the sisters (and mom!) We ended our shoot with some leaf throwing.. because why not?! It’s always brings a little joy to one’s face. Here’s a peek!

horner | family | fall 2023

Loved meeting this sweet family and capturing some moments of them together. They were all so photogenic and their little lady was especially loving posing for the camera. Check out her splits shot! Wow! I could tell they had a goofy side to them, so we got one fun shot towards the end. πŸ˜‰ Here’s a peek!

meyer | family | fall 2023

Over the Summer, we got paired up with a random couple for a golf mixer, and it happened to be two people from our church! **I recognized Megan right away as she is an amazing speaker/leader there.** It has been so much fun getting to know them, and I’ve enjoyed capturing their son’s senior photos, and now their entire family. Besides a little wind, we could not have asked for a more beautiful Fall day, and we even found some color left on the trees! Megan is surrounded by a bunch of handsome boys, and I can tell that the brothers are/will be close as they grow up. Here’s a peek!

katelin + justin | married | fall 2023

What a beautiful day and wedding this was! I was first contacted by Katelin about capturing their big day when she and Justin lived over seas in Italy! I have to give props to her for making her plans in a city she had never lived in, and from such a distance! And, I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous when she mentioned a 5:00 ceremony outdoors on November 5, as I knew daylight savings was the night before and it would be dark in no time! We lucked out, though, and there was a perfect amount of light leftover at the end of the day. πŸ˜‰ The day unfolded just beautifully and I love how Katelin made tribute to her mother whom passed away not too long ago. A photo of her mom followed her throughout the day, and I have no doubt that she was watching from above. Katelin and Justin are such a sweet couple, and I loved all the little moments together (such as how often he would kiss her hand or make an adorable comment). I wish them nothing but the best in this next chapter of their lives together!

Captured this sweet family just the other week! How are we lucking out with such beautiful November weather in Omaha?! Even shooting in the morning for this session was doable. Love all the textures to their cozy looking sweaters, and I’m wondering if they have an adult size in little Madeline’s top. So cute! Here’s a peek at our session together.

mcclure | family | 2023

We love our neighborhood, mostly because we have great neighbors like these guys! Even though it was windy and darker outside, the photos turned out so warm looking with their personalities, snuggles and fall colors during this session.Β So happy to have captured their extended family. I think everyone needs to capture whole families more often, as photos such as the generational shots are true treasured ones to look back on for years to come!

coleman | family | 2023

Many, many years ago, I captured the engagement of this mama’s mother. So happy to now capture her with her own family! We had the most gorgeous evening for our session and got some great shots with their cute little man. Here’s a peek!

larson | family | 2023

This family reminds me a lot of mine for some reason. Maybe it’s the two sisters that remind me of my sister and I at that age, or maybe it is because they are also originally from Wisconsin and have the good ol’ Northern/midwestern manners. πŸ˜‰ It was nice to have the grandpa/dad join them for the session, too! So thankful for a gorgeous evening for our session, before the cold, rainy days set in. Here’s a peek!

petersen | family | 2023

We could not have asked for a more perfect evening for a session with some friends! Such a beautiful family and lovely location, too! The boys are so cute together, and Mark and Jillian are just as cute as when I first shot their engagement photos. Here’s a peek!
