baylie // newborn // 2019
Sweet Baylie was welcomed into the world recently and she is oh-so-squishable! She was the perfect little sleeper, all it took was one stroke between the nose and she was out like a light! Such a doll, just like her big brother and sister. Though it’s taking them a little bit of getting used to a new human in the house, I’m sure they’ll warm up in no time. 😉 I always enjoy spending time with this sweet family! Here’s a peek at their now family of five!
christian // one year // 2019
Sweet little Christian turns ONE soon and is a an absolute cutie. He did wonderful during his session and may win the award for best cake smasher! There was no hesitation when his cake was placed in front of him, and eventually his whole foot got in on the fun. Here’s a peek!
malachi lee // newborn // 2019
Just last week, I got to meet Malachi Lee! He was such a sweetie pie, and I always love when rainbow babies come to see me, as I get to hear personal stories about heartache, but then also the miracles that can come after. I’m so happy for this growing family and enjoyed capturing this sweet little man’s first photos! Here’s a peek. 🙂
archer // 6 month photos // omaha, ne
I absolutely love capturing a baby’s whole first year. They change SO much, and it is so important to capture these milestones before they are gone! Even the simplest things such as nibbling on their toes lasts for just a few weeks, so I’m glad we were able to capture that during the session. Mr Archer could not be any cuter! I haven’t seen him since his newborn session, and he has grown so much and is just the sweetest little man. I love that we once again incorporated his Harrison bear, who represents his older brother that is watching from above. Here’s a peek!
friehe // family // 2019
Though the Fall colors might be fading and bare trees are yet again, the warm(ish) day and love of this family is all that we needed for a sweet session! I always enjoy meeting up with them and having some good laughs. Here’s a peek!
lydia // 1 year
Sweet little Lydia has the best big brown eyes! She just turned ONE and is absolutely loving life. While the rest of us were freezing after stepping outside for a few shots, she became all smiles with the frigid air and gusty winds. Too cute! Here’s a peek!
sheffield // maternity // 2019
As I mentioned on my facebook page, The Lady in Red song has been stuck in my head now since this session! This mama looked amazing in red from head to toe. It was a wonderfully windy and chilly Fall day, & this family just embraced it and celebrated time together as a family of 4 before welcoming their newest little peanut into the world in just a few weeks!! So excited to capture that special time in their life, too.
extended family // fall 2019
I photographed this beautiful family 5 years ago, and it’s fun to see how much the kids have changed, and the parents + grandma haven’t aged at all! They all are super photogenic and you can tell that they’re related. Surrounded by beautiful light on a gorgeous Fall day made for a fun evening. Here’s a peek!
fisher // family // 2019
I love it when colors pop and fabrics flow, and this sweet family nailed it when it comes to wardrobe choice. They are our neighbors just down the street, and even though we’ve only hung out a few times, we really do need to hang out more! You can see so clearly in each photograph their love and energy for one another. It was a fun session and I’m thankful they asked me to capture their beautiful fam! Here’s a peek. 🙂
leo // newborn // 2019
Little boy Leo was almost a month old when I took his newborn photos, so I was happy to take photos in his home, as we did a lot more snuggle shots and captured his alertness to the world around him. I’m almost positive he responds to his name already… 😉 Such a cute boy with the sweetest parents. It feels like yesterday that I captured their wedding photos! So happy to have captured this precious time in their lives as a new family of 3! Here’s a peek!
osborn // family // 2019
Even though we did our session in the same location last year, it didn’t feel repetitive as the children have grown so much! They are such a sweet family with so much love for one another. I asked mom and dad to sneak in a little twirl at the end, and just like that, they broke out into the dance that they did at their wedding. It was so cute capturing the kiddos watching in awe. I always think it’s so important to show our children the special bond that we have with our spouses, and I get the honor of freezing those moments for families. 🙂
herrboldt // family // 2019
A few years ago, we crossed paths with another family that was pushing two little babies in a snap-n-go double stroller into our school to drop off their oldest child. When you’re a twin parent, you just have that instant bond with other twin parents. It has been so much fun getting to know them better over the years, having playdates and now our littlest go to school together! They are just the sweetest and all the kiddos are so squishable with big, blue beautiful eyes and are a perfect mix of mom and dad. I absolutely loved the energy throughout our shoot — here’s a peek!
keller // family // 2019
A few nights ago, I got to photograph another little man named, Logan, who even had the same middle initial as my son’s, as well as the same nickname, Lolo. ;0) He was as cute as can be, and you can tell that his parents are just over-the-moon excited to have him in their lives. It is always fun meeting new families and learning their stories! Though there are not a lot of Fall colors around, it was an absolutely lovely day to capture this beautiful family outdoors.
ramey // family // 2019
Nebraska can be such a hit and a miss with weather, but I’m so glad we got a good evening for this beautiful family, as they had to deal with some pretty cold and soggy weather last year! And even though miss Claire still did not love being in front of the camera, we managed to sneak in a few smiles here and there. Her big sister on the other hand probably could have kept going all night. 😉 Here’s a peek of this fun, loving, energetic crew!
zakai amar // newborn
Sweet baby Zakai came into this world just as cute as can be, and with the most awesome hair! I absolutely loved spending time with him and his sweet parents in their beautiful home, capturing this time together. And I SO appreciate Jody’s response to the session, thanking me for how much work it entailed, but I assure her, though it is my job, it does not feel like work as I love what I do! I feel so blessed to be able to freeze time and provide memories that will last for years to come. A common theme I have been hearing so often lately is that you do not know what tomorrow will bring — which is why it is so important to capture the here and now.
Little Zakai, you will not be this tiny for long. Soak up the moments you so perfectly fit into your parents arms!
savannah // newborn // omaha, ne
At just 7 days old, Savannah was just the sweetest little snoozer who kept making the cutest smirks in her sleep — I could have snuggled her all day. I absolutely loved incorporating some of this family’s beautiful decor within their home, and even Savannah’s puppy wanted to get in on the action! I am so happy for this adorable family of three and thankful that they had me capture this precious time in their lives! We had plenty of laughs during the session, so it’s a good thing Savannah was such a sound sleeper. 😉
Here’s a peek!
remi //newborn // omaha newborn photography
I am really loving in-home sessions! It’s fun to be able to use the client’s personal surroundings, and I enjoy the challenge of using as much natural light as possible in the areas that the house allows. Little remi was a bit older for her session, so while awake, she had the BEST eye contact! She is absolutely adorable like her sisters, and the whole family is just the sweetest. Here’s a little peek into their beautiful family session.
extended family // 2019
When the temperature approaches 100 degrees and you have an outdoor family of 23 shoot planned, I am so thankful for the alternative location they had available. Although we managed to step outside on the deck for a bit, the interior worked just as well with all the lovely brick! Their outfits popped especially well against the backdrop. They were all so sweet, so patient, and I can tell that they all probably have a great time with their big gatherings. So happy that they chose me to capture this time of their lives! Here’s a peek!
hailey // newborn // omaha, ne
I love when my commute to work is literally a minute. 😉 I took photos at this sweet family’s home, which happens to be in my neighborhood! They just welcomed their 2nd, a precious girl named Hailey. At just 4 days, she was a perfect little snoozin’ machine, who barely flinched even when big brother made some noise. 😉 It has been a joy getting to know this family a little better, and I’m so happy for them as they start this new adventure as a family of 4! Here’s a peek.
beran // family // omaha, ne
Loved meeting with this sweet family last week for a little family shoot. Their boys are ALL boys and were most content digging in the dirt/looking for bugs and riding their bikes & scooters. So, why not capture those moments, too? 😉 They have a wonderful balance of sweet and silly, and it was so fun capturing all their personalities.
What kind of memories do you want to captures with your littles!?
colette // newborn// 2019 omaha family photography
I first photographed Mandy and Mike during their engagement session almost a decade ago now (one of my first engagement sessions ever)! Since then, we became instant friends and it’s been so fun watching their family grow throughout the years. I always remember them saying that they wanted 4 kids, so I am beyond happy for them as they dive into this new adventure as a family of 6! Colette was adorable during her shoot, and I always enjoy doing more lifestyle sessions in people’s homes. Especially when there is an abundance of natural light! Here’s a peek at this beautiful family!
sheffield // 2019 // omaha family photography
It’s been so fun watching Delaynie and Easton grow over the last few years! They are both like living little dolls — absolutely precious, and now, they’re looking forward to being a big brother and sister!! So excited for this family and their new adventure which awaits. Here’s a peek at our shoot surrounded by beautiful greenery.
lydia // 6 months // omaha family photography
I started this shoot with an unexpected assistant! Little Marian is so cute with her camera and can come help me anytime. 😉 She is also a great big sis to Lydia, who is now 6 months! Lydia is such a sweetie with the biggest brown eyes and most contagious smile. Here’s a peek at their (chilly) Spring session!
kamin // family // 2019
Who wants to go out in our most recent snowfall for a shoot!? I really am loving ending my most recent shoots this way. 😉 Little Rydlee is turning 2, and Ryker, 5. Both little cuties with completely opposite personalities. Though Rydlee was not loving the outdoors with her chattering little lips, she showcased her beautiful strawberry-blonde hair with a few warm ones inside at first, all with the help of Hei Hei, my squeaky assistant. Here’s a peek!
