brownell | family | fall 2025
Capturing this fam always brings a smile to my heart. Rob and Nicole are such a genuine couple who is raising their little man with so much politeness and love. And might we add how cute his boots were! It was such a gorgeous evening and we ended it with a beautiful sunset and comfy, matching sweatshirts that they got on vacation over the Summer.
cure | family | fall 2025
It was such a pleasure photographing this sweet family! Having moved here from Colorado, I’m so glad that they came across my page. We had the most perfect evening to explore and capture the love! All the kiddos were so polite, and we had a few fearless ones who were excited to touch a GIANT spider. Maggie and Dex are so genuine and it feels like you’ve known them forever upon first meeting them. Here’s a peek at their session!
paden | family | fall 2025
Love meeting new families! And am especially thankful when new families are referred to me by clients and/or friends & family! We had a great night for this session, and besides being attacked by mosquitos and “no-see-um” bugs (why do either exist!??) it was a great time to capture a variety of shots including each kiddo individually. Each has their own unique personality and showed great patience in capturing that next Christmas card photo. 😉 Here’s a peek!
McKeagney | extended family
For this session, we were planning to shoot at Lauritzen gardens, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to change up our plans. We shot at their home instead, and when I pulled up to their drive, I immediately loved what I saw ~ it was such a perfect backdrop with crawling vines, greenery and flowers everywhere! So beautiful! What a sweet family, and as I’ve mentioned before, grandma and grandpa time is SO important, and I’m so happy that I got to capture this time of theirs together. Here’s a peek!
herrboldt | family | 2025
I always love capturing this sweet crew, and I love the color combos that they chose! Knowing them since their twins were in preschool, it’s been fun watching them grow into their parent’s minis. And I’m now convinced that their parents don’t age. 😉 Here’s a peek at our session together.
jack | 90th birthday party celebration!
What a pleasure it was to capture the 90th birthday party of Jack who recently celebrated this incredible milestone! Taking place at Papillion Landing, which was wonderful space to begin with, his family decorated it beautifully, I almost felt like I was at a wedding reception! Surrounded by friends and family that came from near and far, you can tell that he is so loved and cherished. Time spent with family is so important, and I’m glad I was able to capture this time for them!
carter | family | 2025
The Carter family was up for a playful, light-hearted session, which involved lots of laughs, hugs, an invisible sock puppet, and even a break for some delicious macarons! Brother and sister were so cute together and genuinely seem to like hanging out. 😉 Such a sweet family that enjoys little adventures and exploring news places! Here’s a peek!
korbel extended family | 2025
So glad my mother-in-law’s friend reached out when she knew her whole family would be in town to capture some photos! They gathered at Mahoney state park for a few days, so it was fun to take photos of them surrounded by the beautiful Nebraskan prairies! Here’s a peek. 🙂
arch family | spring 2025
I captured this sweet family at their home a few years back, and I was happy to capture more photos at their house once again! They had a beautiful blooming tree that they wanted to take photos with before it disappeared, and I’m so glad we did! I wish flowering trees would last all Summer though!! The kiddos were too cute with their baby blue eyes and girls with matching outfits. Brother sure has a big job to do protecting all his sisters some day! 😉 Here’s a peek at our lovely Spring day session together!
christen | family | 2024
I captured this sweet fam years ago before the girls were taller than their parents! Wow, do they grow fast!! And, I’m so glad we could sneak in one more session before the end of the year with super mild weather! Their color choice gives me some Valentine vibes and I can tell that there is lots of love and support within this family! ❤ Here’s a peek at our time together!
dinsmore {extended} family
It was a pleasure meeting for the first time and capturing this beautiful family who gathered over the holidays — all the way from CA to Chicago! So glad the weather cooperated and was warmer than normal for us to be able to be outside! Teddy, the dog, even got to join and was so well behaved! And, I think the cutest little man stole the show for some of the time with all eyes on him during “blastoff” towards the end. 😉 They all had the best smiles and genuinely looked like they enjoyed being together. Here’s a peek! 
morgan | family | 2024
November in Nebraska, you never know what the weather will be like, but we have definitely lucked out this year with it! Days that are still in the 60’s — I will take it! And, I always enjoy spending time with this sweet crew. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen them, and the kiddos have grown like weeds! I am not ready for the day when my kids could potentially be taller than me. Their oldest is already there! So crazy. Here’s a peek at their session!
hagin | family | 2024
Love seeing this family grow over the years! We had a chilly day for photos, but the colors of the trees were nice and vibrant, so it was worth it to bare the early morning weather! At one point, we found a doll in a tree, and their little lady really wanted it, so it may have ended up in a few photos! Ha. Whatever helps bring smiles to a face! 😉
flint | family | 2024
Loved capturing this sweet family! Even though the littlest man had his own plans of wandering off on his own adventure some of the time, we still managed to get some adorable ones of him, along with all of his siblings and dad! 😉 Such a gorgeous night with the most perfect weather.
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. 😉 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. 😉 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. 😉 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. 😉 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! 😉 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! 😉 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.
