jackson | senior | 2023

So thankful for new friends and then finding out they have a senior son that needs some photos! Had a great time capturing this handsome young man, and also hearing mom tell “dad jokes” on the side. Pretty sure she cracked me up more than Jackson! 😉 He was a natural and gave the sweetest hug to his momma for one quick shot! And at the end, he even go to show off his cool new car!

jace {senior}

It was great meeting Jace, whom has such a peaceful, relaxed personality, for the first time for his Senior photos! He was later joined for a few quick photos with his family, and it was the shot with his brother in which I could tell how close their bond is. They even got matching tattoos! Here’s a peek at our session together!

jay // senior // class of 2023

I was very much looking forward to this Senior session with Jay as I haven’t been to Lauritzen Gardens for quite some time. It it such a lovely place! Before entering the gardens, we took some photos by the train, and then discovered that the gardens closed at 5pm not 8pm like the website still stated! It was 4:30, so we hightailed it on a quest to find a bench that was dedicated to his grandpa who spent much time in the gardens. I loved that we were able to incorporate this as his grandpa seemed very special to him. Having gone later, we pretty much had the whole garden to ourselves! We then wrapped up the sessions just outside the gardens with some colorful wall art. Jay is a wonderful young man with a bright future ahead of him! Here’s a peek!

samantha // senior // 2022

This beauty drove a few hours from Iowa to have me capture her Senior photos! I feel so blessed and honored that my clients refer me to their friends and family, and that they trust me to capture their special events and milestones. Samantha was a natural in front of the camera, and I really enjoyed getting to know her! Always fun to capture those who tag along in the last few photos, too. 😉 Here’s a peek!

becky {senior}

Upon meeting both Becky and her mom, I could tell they were going to be fun to hang out with and work with for Becky’s senior session. She did such a great job and is a natural beauty with the most gorgeous long locks! It was fun exploring a new area with them, and I’m so glad that her boyfriend came for a few shots as well. They are just the sweetest together!! Here is a peek!

bailey // senior // class of 2022

Miss Bailey has the most beautiful smile and resembles her mama (whom I used to work with!) so much! I need her to teach me some hair-growing tips too as hers is just so long and lovely! I had so much fun getting to know her, and she probably got a little bored of her mom and I reminiscing some of the time. 😉 I am so thankful they chose me to capture this important milestone, and I have no doubt she will go far in whatever she pursues in life!

kory // 2022 senior photos!

I met up with Kory recently for his senior photos! The weather was definitely playing games with us as rain prediction wasn’t until later that evening. We moved our shoot up to mid-afternoon to avoid it, but it started pouring that morning! We then had a little window it looked like, but on my way to the shoot it started sprinkling again. Thankfully, it was dry for our session, but super windy and humid! Then later that evening it rained so hard that area of Omaha flooded. The weather has been wild this year, but I’m so glad it held out just long enough for this fun session! Kory is ready to conquer his Senior year, and I’m glad to capture this important time for him! Here’s a peek!

emma // senior // 2020

Recently, I met up with beautiful miss Emma to take her senior photos! She was just as sweet as ever and made my job of photographing her effortless. A natural model. We ventured out to the Creighton campus and then made our way to a soccer field, where she could show off her passion of soccer. I love that her puppy came along for the ride, too! Here’s a peek!

emma, ethan & katelyn // triplets // omaha senior photography

Awhile back when Kirstin contacted me about photographing her triplet seniors, I immediately connected with her, as, I think mamas of multiples just do! 😉 Not only does she and her husband have one kiddo to be proud of, but THREE that are accomplishing such a great milestone all at the same time. Emma, Katelyn and Ethan could not have been more fun to work with! Each have their own unique personalities and interests, and it was great to be able to incorporate them into the shoot.

Emma, Katelyn and Ethan: you are all beautiful — inside and out — and it was so fun to see the special bond that you share with one another! Thank you for having me capture this special time of your lives!

blaise // senior // omaha, ne

Meet Blaise. Class of 2020 high school senior, soon-to-be graduate! When I told my littles that I was going to photograph him, I’m pretty sure they thought I was going to shoot (Blaze), their favorite monster machine. 🤣 I kinda think his name is pretty cool. When his mom came to me about having another session, I was looking forward to it, as I enjoyed photographing their other son a few years back. Blaise, too, was another natural model, with a wonderful personality. Aside from the first few clicks of not always knowing what to do in front of the camera, he fell into in pretty quickly and needed little guidance.

Blaise, I really enjoyed spending time with you and your mom during your session! Hope you have a wonderful senior year! Here’s a peek at some of my favorite shots. 🙂

lexi // senior // omaha, ne

A few years ago, I photographed Lexi’s big sister, Gabbi, and I had such a wonderful time as she was such a natural in front of the camera. Lexi was also a natural beauty and so comfortable in front of the camera! I am sure they have to be doing some practice modeling on the side… 😉 I may have had her change back into her blue jumper for our field shots as it complemented her so well! We started off in downtown Elkhorn, ventured out to an open field and found some gorgeous, wispy long grass, then ended in my neighbor’s beautiful backyard. I enjoy senior sessions the more and more that I do! So thankful they chose me to capture this time in her life. Best wishes to all that you set out to do in life, Lexi!

jasmine {makeup & hair artist}

I first met Jasmine, who is an exceptional makeup and hair artist, at a wedding shoot this past summer. I was so impressed by the work that she did on the bride, and have been even more impressed by all the work I’ve seen thereafter. So, I was excited to do a stylized shoot with her. Reminded me of the days I worked as an art director at Marshall Fields/Macy’s!

Not much more to say than here are some images of beautiful miss Trishtian that showcase Jasmine’s amazing artistry!

drue {senior} // omaha senior photographer

My job is too easy when your subject acts like they’ve done modeling all of their life! Drue was exceptional during his senior photos. He could go from a serious look to one with a great smile (after I attempted to make jokes), both of which showed his personality well. He aspires to be an engineer, plays football and basketball and has worked with kids for as long as he remembers. In the short time I spent with him, I can tell that he is going to go far in life!

gabbi {senior}

Though I’ve only dabbled in taking senior portraits, I really enjoy it and should probably do more of it. Gabbi was an exceptional subject, a natural beauty who only needed a little guidance in posing. It’s like she has done this before. 😉 We first ventured out into the Old Market area, not even thinking about the CWS going on — wow was it BUSY! We managed to find some more remote locations to get some lovely shots and ended the day with one of my favorite spots in Elmwood park. Wishing Gabbi all the best in her senior year and beyond! I have a good feeling she’ll be successful in whatever she does. 🙂

clayton {senior} elkhorn, ne

Nebraska seems to be a bit confused that it’s supposed to be fall! A few days ago, I met up with Clayton for his senior photos. I was hoping we’d be shooting on a nice, cool fall day, but nope, it decided that it needed to be in the 80’s! Thankfully Clayton didn’t mind, and I was happy with the beautiful lighting. Clayton rocked his session and I had fun scoping out cool spots with him and his mom and getting to know them both. I hope your senior year is amazing, Clayton! Best luck to you in all your future endeavors!

dakota {senior} fremont, ne

Although I haven’t done a lot of Senior photos, I’ve really enjoyed the few that I have shot as it brings me back to the time when I had them done myself. To me, it is a time to express yourself. They are a symbol of everything you have accomplished during your schooling days, and moving on to whatever it is that your heart desires. It is a time of possibly moving away from your parents and becoming more independent, all while finding out new things about yourself. Quite a drastic change in life if you ask me! It is fun to capture that time just before those big changes happen — and, of course share those images with all your buddies and those that are closest to you. Here’s just a few shots from our shoot in Fremont, NE!
