So many times, I notice wall art as I drive by buildings, but, when my friend, Lindsay, mentioned she wanted to do a session with that as the background, it wasn’t until then that I looked at it a little differently and noticed how much life and color it brings to an otherwise bland building. I scoped out a car one as the boys are truly boys and LOVE their car toys. And Linz insisted on the smiley face. Such a simple icon, but good reminder to try and incorporate a little happy into your, or other people’s, everyday. 🙂 🙂
Here’s a peek at their fun little session!
extended {family}
Back in 2012, I had a contest for a free photo session, in which, I took photos of a family of 3. Now, that family added another kiddo, and, we did an extended family shoot — in the same location we did our original shoot! So fun seeing familiar faces. 🙂 I had a great time hanging out and capturing this beautiful family! Sometimes it takes awhile for the littles the warm up to the camera, so, it’s best to just let them be kids (or bring out all the tricks — peek-a-boo, tickle monster, etc). And of course, by the very end, a jumping shot brought out all the smiles. 😉 Here’s a peek!
cecilia {newborn}
“Oh Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart…” That is the song I keep breaking into whenever I hear or write this sweet baby’s name. Cecilia Jean was born April 14 and is such a cutie pie! I mean, look at all that hair!! Her big sis didn’t want much to do with snuggling her quite yet, but, I’m sure they will be best friends in no time. Cecilia slept almost the whole time, with the exception of taking a peek at what was going on once and awhile. She is an absolute doll. Congrats to Jenny and Paul on becoming a family of four!
brinley rose {newborn}
Brinley Rose, the newest member of our family (my niece) came into the world on April 9 and is absolutely gorgeous, just like her mom and dad. She did amazing during her shoot, letting us change her into various cute outfits, including a few bunnies — which was only fitting since the shoot was on Easter day. 😉 Although it was known that she would have a small cleft lip, they were not sure on the extent of it, nor if it affected her palette. Her palette was 100% intact, and, the cleft lip is so minor ~ I actually think it’s quite adorable…like a little dimple. She exemplifies imperfect perfection and is so, so loved.
I am hoping that these are photos she can always look back on to see how her beautiful smile first started. 🙂
asher {newborn}
Oh my goodness Asher is beyond adorable. At just 10 days old, he was the most perfect little model during our shoot, giving us plenty of dreamy, snoozin’ shots, as well as sneaking in lots of little smiles. He just looked so peaceful, content and happy. It also helps to have an adorable big sister who gives lots of snuggles and is so gentle around him. I have thoroughly enjoyed capturing this sweet family since Libby was a newborn, and am anticipating capturing this cute boy throughout his first year as well. Here’s a peek at Asher’s first session!
caitlyn {1 year} // omaha family photographer
Happy 1st birthday, beautiful Caitlyn!
It really feels like just yesterday that I captured Caitlyn as a newborn. This year has flown by! Which, is only natural as I’ve had 3 kiddos keeping me preoccupied. 😉 Caitlyn is a sweetheart with a lot of energy — just like her big sisters. The three girls together are so cute, even if Caitlyn would prefer to be miss independent at the moment. As always, around this age, they would rather be exploring the world around them than sit still…so, I’ve gotten pretty good at following them around with my camera. 😉 Here’s a peek at her first year photos!
nicholas {newborn}
Feels like just yesterday that we captured Laura’s bump photos, and now, Nicholas James has arrived! Born on February 20, 2017, Mr Nicholas is as cute as can be — soo squishable!! Big brother, Andrew, seems pretty proud and I see a lot of resemblance in the two. So happy for the Hansen’s and their growing family! Here’s a peek at their session in their beautiful home!
madalyn {newborn}
Most recently, we welcomed the newest little member into the Bockelman family, my niece, Madalyn Rae. It’s amazing how much she looks like her big sis! I had a bit of deja vu while editing the photos. 😉 I can tell Brooklyn already loves her little sister so much. It will be cute to watch them grow up together and have her join the madness of the cousin gatherings! Here’s a peek at little miss Madalyn who was the most precious little model.
rydlee {newborn}
So happy for the Kamin’s who welcomed their precious little girl, Rydlee, into the world on January 15! Ryker, whom I’ve shot since he was born, is such a proud big brother, and thoroughly enjoyed giving her lots of snuggles. Rydlee was an excellent little model who slept most of the shoot and just looked so peaceful the entire time. So much love for this sweet little lady already. Here’s a peek at some cuteness!
erica {newborn}
…and plus one = FIVE! So happy for our friend’s growing family! Sweet little Erica Christine was welcomed at the start of the new year on January 3, 2017! Such a cutie who loves snuggling and looks so similar to her big sis when she was born. I can tell already that Mallorie and Chad are going to be wonderful big siblings. Excited for their new journey and for our fun, chaotic playdates in the future! 😉
marian {1 year}
It feels like just yesterday that I first captured the adorable Marian Rose, and already she’s ONE year old! Where does the time go!? She is such a sweet girl who enjoyed showing me the things she loves doing in her home — such as reading, snacking, practicing walking, and of course, hanging out with mom and dad. I forget how much I enjoy doing more lifestyle shoots until I start capturing little moments in a family’s home. It is fun finding new spaces, backgrounds and utilizing the natural lighting, all while showing the love they share for one another.
Happy Birthday to beautiful Marian! I have so enjoyed capturing you in your first year!
christen {family}
It’s always fun meeting new families! I enjoyed taking the Christen family photos most recently. Their girls have so much fun being in front of the lense, it was cute to watch. I can tell that they truly love being sisters. So glad that the November weather held out for us as we were able to capture a few outside! Here’s a peek at our time together. 🙂
friehe {family}
I always love seeing the Friehe family! Owen becomes more and more handsome every time I see him, and those big blue eyes never cease to amaze me. He loved incorporating a little bit of Christmas into their gorgeous Fall session. Beautiful smiles and some warm snuggles made for another fun shoot ~ here’s a peek!
kamin {family}
I’ve been photographing the adorable Mr Ryker since he was newborn, and it’s been so fun to see him change over the years. Now, he’s going to be a big brother, and I’m sure a good one at that! Robin looks amazing, and I can tell that they are all so excited as they anticipate the arrival of their little girl. Here’s a peek at their last shoot as a family of three!
hansen {family}
Sometimes it takes awhile for kiddos to warm up to the camera…. or rather, forget about the fact that they reaaallly dislike wearing pants and be distracted by treats, tickling and their favorite stuffed animal. 😉 It’s been fun watching little Andrew grow up over the years. And, I’m so excited that their family is going to be growing by one in the near future! Laura is absolutely glowing — quite literally in our last few shots as she’s surrounded by the beautiful warm rays of the sun. Here’s a peek at our fun, fall family shoot!
peterson {family}
My husband and I have known the Peterson’s well before they had any kiddos. I still recall going bowling with them “back in the day,” and Taryn wasn’t having a drink because they wanted to start a family. Since then, their sweet family has grown by four beaauutiful children, and I couldn’t be happier for them! They are truly blessed and I always have so much fun capturing their unique personalities. Here’s a peek at the fun morning we had together. 🙂
proper {family}
I love meeting new families! I especially love meeting them randomly in our neighborhood park. And then, I really love when I realize why they looked so familiar ~ I helped 2nd shoot their wedding! Wayyy back in the day when I was first getting started, so everything then is kind of jumbled together as I was learning SO much! 😉 Such a small world. I’m so happy to have been able to capture their beautiful family of four with the cutest little boys! Their eyes are beyond gorgeous, and they all are just so cute together and truly happy! Here’s a peek at our time together.
poppen {family}
Recently, I captured the cute Poppen family of 3 + one more on the way! I always enjoy our time together and am so happy for them as they anticipate their new arrival. Libby is the sweeeetest little girl with the most beautiful eyes. Here’s a peek at this amazing family on yet another gorgeous fall day!
morgan {family}
When you haven’t seen your clients for a whole year, it’s crazy to see how much they have grown! The kiddos anyways…. 😉 One thing that hasn’t changed though is how much the siblings, Elizabeth and Josh, absolutely adore one another. They have the cutest bond, and are seriously some of the sweetest kids I’ve met. They looove having their photograph taken, so makes my job easy! A gorgeous Fall day with scrumptious lighting + a beautiful family made this session wonderful!
ramirez {family} // fall 2016 // omaha family photographer
A beautiful family + gorgeous Fall setting = a lovely shoot. The Ramirez family is so incredibly photogenic, they make my job easy. 🙂 Feels like yesterday that I first did their engagement photos, when Elise was tiny! Now she’s growing into a beautiful young lady and loves to pose for the camera. Her little brother Rowan has the absolute most adorable personality and seems to love smiling for the camera, too. It was a joy to capture this family and their love for one another!
mason & leah {newborn}
When Sara came to me for newborn photos of her soon-t0-be twins, I was very excited as we recently had twins of our own! I felt like I have a bit of experience in photographing them. 😉 Mason & Leah are absolutely precious, and their cute big brother seemed to adore them and embrace his new role. I love the names they chose…how nice of them to name one after me!! ;D Mason and Leah were just perfect little models during their entire shoot. The reminded me of ours in that the little boy could fuss a bit or squirm around, yet, the little lady is not even phased by it… I can tell that mom and dad are absolutely in love with their new family of 5! Many prayers and good thoughts to them as they figure out this new, beautiful adventure they’re on! Here’s a peek at this sweet family.
ramey {family}
I love watching families grow through photographs. Last time I saw Claire, she was just a newborn — and now she is 1 year! I first took her sister’s 1 year photos as well a couple years ago. It’s fun to see the resemblance of the two, though Lizzie definitely had a lot more hair as a one year old! Such a cute family with a lot of energy. We ended the shoot with a celebratory cake smash! Here’s a peek. 🙂
jonah {1 year}
Despite the intense heat and Jonah not feeling the best, we still captured some sweet moments for his 1 year photos! Special thanks to the Jeseritz’s as they were patient in waiting for me to recover from having my own babies ~ as Jonah’s first birthday was actually on May 2. He is a sweet boy who is looking more and more like a perfect balance of both of his parents. He enjoyed exploring the amazing backyard of my neighbor’s {bluepom.com} who were willing to let me shoot in it once again! I said it before, what kid doesn’t like a horse tire swing!? Here’s a peek at Jonah’s 1 year photos!
marian {6 months}
I had not seen Marian since she was a newborn, so it’s always fun to see how much they’ve changed since birth. Upon seeing her, she gave me the biggest smile! Such a happy, beautiful little girl with parents who love her dearly. Here’s a peek at Marian’s 6 months!
