Extended family // 2021
It was fun meeting a new family recently and capturing their extended family photos! They celebrated the littlest cutie’s 1st birthday that day, too, so I was glad to be a part of that milestone. November in the Midwest you might expect a freezing cold morning, but the day of this session was so nice! At least I thought so… the kiddos may have thought otherwise. π Here’s a peek!

After first meeting them at church, and my husband knowing them from the college days, I was so happy when Nicole reached out to have me photograph her beautiful family! Their kiddos are all adorable, both inside and out, just like mom and dad. And the two things I got out of the session is that I might have Brian come be my assistant with posing/styling from now on, and Nicole and I are going to lounge at a pool built in one of our backyards someday…. π Here’s a peek at our time together!

Love when you meet new families and you instantly feel like you’ve known them for awhile. Maybe it helps that this one has 5 year old twins and and older daughter, so the same as my family, but they were all just so sweet and fun to work with! It was so cute at one point during the session, we ran into a black cat that just kept following us around and made an appearance in our photos. I think he liked and appreciated the dresses that the girls were wearing. π Also, check out that BEAUTIFUL sunset we had!
fluker // family // 2021
I absolutely loved photographing these two cute girls in their dance costumes, so it was fun to capture them once again along with their whole family! They are all so sweet and so photogenic. And when I asked dad to do a push up after the kids pig-piled on him, I was so surprised that he didn’t hesitate one second and just went for it. I’m pretty sure that was the best part of the kiddo’s night. π We had a beautiful Fall day which I am so thankful for ~ here’s a peek!

I have so enjoyed watching these sweet friends grow over the years and still love how we will always have a bond of being in a similar boat with an older sibling and now 5 year old twins. They are just the cutest and growing so fast! Here’s a peek at our fun session which only took (a little) bribing of some Chick-fil-A afterwards. π
treiber // family // 2021
Love capturing this photogenic family which now includes their adorable pup! Bro & sis are so sweet and actually seem to like getting their photos taken! And as mentioned, mom and dad have not changed a bit over the last decade and still look very much in love. π Here’s a peek!
mayberry // family // 2021
I first met Elizabeth when she was pushing her triplets in a stroller at Mama Bunch! It is fun to see how much they’ve all grown ~ each so polite with a TON of energy. π And older brother certainly has his fun with them! Here’s a peek at our session together!
peterson family photos!
This sweet family hung out in the heat + humidity with me to capture some shots of their growing family! It has been a few years since I’ve seen them, and I’m always surprised with how big kids get! I still picture them as little toddlers or even newborns. All so adorable with equally adorable parents. Here is a peek!
Debbie & Dick {50th anniversary} celebration!
What a joy it was to capture the love between two people who celebrated 50 years of being married! Surrounded by friends and family, and traveling all the way from CA, they truly had something wonderful to celebrate. I loved hearing about the time that they met, and the theme of the party revolved around a photo of them in their early days of dating. The Bellevue Berry Farm is such a fun place and fit their theme perfectly. Here’s a peek at this beautiful couple and their fun day!
nelson // family // 2021
Oh my goodness, this family is just too cute! It has been fun capturing their baby boy as a bump, newborn and now as a ONE year old! I love that age and all the slobbery baby kisses that come with it. ;D Jett was not a fan of his cake though… we probably should have shared it with the little weasel that was hanging out with us at the shoot! π Here’s a peek! HAPPY (almost) BIRTHDAY, handsome boy!
elora // newborn // 2021
Elora was the cutest little peanut with a beautiful name. She had the most adorable little furrow in her brows when she was awake and got upset, though most of the time she slept contently. Mom and dad are so in love with their precious little human and she is lucky to have them as her parents! Here’s a peek at our time together.
summer // family // 2021
One of my favorite things about photography is capturing families grow! I started photographing Bart and Anna way back when they did their engagement photos, and it has been so fun capturing their two sweet babes that they’ve had since that day. And then, I captured Bart’s brother a few years back, and now I got the chance to photograph their entire extended family! Grandma and grandpa must be so proud of the beautiful family they’ve created. Here’s a peek at our fun (and super HOT) session!
jet william // newborn // 2021
Little Jet is a handsome boy with the sweetest parents whom I enjoyed getting to know! He was wide-eyed, but content for a bit of our shoot, just soaking up his parent’s snuggles and taking in the world around him. Here’s a peek!
welcome to the world, sweet boy!
Last week I got to snuggle the most adorable little peanut who slept the entire time! He has the sweetest parents who invited me into their charming home and I think I might just do every session there from now on! π The light was just gorgeous from the floor to ceiling windows. Here’s a peek!
fisher // family // 2021
Our sweet neighbors and friends showed up to their session in some fresh Summer attire, and I love how mom and dad matched their minis! Too cute. They recently painted their house similar to the color of the girls’ dresses, as Angela wanted a beachy feel. I am thinking we probably should have just flown down to the coast for their session as they all looked tropical to me. Maybe next time! For now, our beautiful Nebraskan nature will do. π Here’s a peek at their session!
kelley // family // 2021
Little Finnigan just turned ONE, and I have to say that his hair is just amazing! All 3 of my babies were pretty practically bald still at that age so I was impressed that they already trimmed his a few times. π We enjoyed a windier day down at Zorinsky before some storms moved in. Here’s a peek!
keller // family // 2021
Loved seeing this sweet family again! Little Logan has grown up and is quite the little explorer. There were so many things to see, posing for the camera was not really on the top of his list, but I love the sweet moments we captured. π Here’s a peek!
levi // 1 year // 2021
Happy Birthday, Levi! He is ONE today and oh-so-handsome. Although he wasn’t a huge fan of the shoot this time around, we still caught a few adorable, toothless smiles. He is a spitting image of his older brother and adored by his older sis. I have absolutely loved capturing his whole first year!! Here’s a peek!
westin // newborn // 2021
Westin could not be sweeter with all of that hair and perfect little facial features, and he slept so soundly the entire shoot! I could have snuggled him all day. Though his sisters were a little more shy in holding him right away, they warmed up quickly, and I can tell that they are going to have so much fun playing together someday! Here’s a peek at our fun little session together.
kamin // family // 2021
It’s always fun photographing this sweet family and seeing how big Ryker and Rydlee have gotten! Rydlee is catching up with her big brother and has such a cute, confident little personality. Ryker is always a joy and loves to show his passion for various sports. Happy birthday to the both of them! Here’s a peek!
hannah // newborn // 2021
It was so nice to meetΒ this sweet family and photograph their new little bundle named Hannah. She is a cutie pie who didn’t want to sleep right away, but once we got her there, she snoozed hard. Her mom and dad were even surprised that she stayed asleep in her crib for a bit as she usually wakes up! Our last shot involved dad’s art direction, as racing is something of importance to him — I think they found a new basinet! π Here’s a peek at our fun shoot together!
bonitz // family // 2020
It may have been a bit chilly and windy for my session with this sweet family, but I’m so glad they were good troopers and stuck it out, even if mom dashed to the car’s heater towards the end. π I can tell the kiddos have a close bond and they were all so natural in front of the camera — they all could be little models! Here’s a peek!
baylie // 1 year // 2020
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to beautiful miss Baylie! I cannot believe it had been a year since I had seen her. She has grown into a beautiful little individual whom I can tell adores her family. She is a ball of joy and it was so fun watching her devour her cake. Here’s a peek!
levi // 6 months
Levi is one of those babies you just wanna smoosh and snuggle all day. He has the best facial expressions and just so adorable. His brother and sister are equally as cute and such great siblings to him. Here’s a peek at their session, that of which they of course had to sneak in some Vikings shots at the end. π
