Kearney, NE

To say this is a special session for me, well...that would be an understatement! You see...these are my parents! Yep. They made it to 50 years of marriage, and still act like children in love. Well...most of the time. Ha! So honored to be able to capture these precious memories for them.
Here are just a few of my favorites from their beautiful anniversary session.

Another gorgeous family in a beautiful location! This family hadn't had photos taken in several years, so it was an honor to get to capture these special moments for them. So much love and warm, and it an amazing location...the images are simply stunning!

Such a gorgeous location with another amazing family! These two little girls were SO cute, and giggled the whole session. I love when families show this much love and laughter in their sessions.

One of my most favorite families was back this year for another GORGEOUS family portrait session. Loved the colors they chose, and the way the sun accented everything! As usual this family was full of laughter and silliness, but what I always enjoy capturing is their love. So much love!

This amazing family is going through a few changes this year, but they still wanted to carry on some traditions...family photos! Proof that life goes on. Proof that they could still be happy, even when life throws curve-balls. I was blown away with their positive outlooks and warm hearts. So much love, and it was an honor to capture it all for them. 

Here are just a few of my favorite images from their awesome outdoor family session.

This precious little man decided to arrive a couple of weeks early, but that was ok with me. He has been worth waiting for, and was perfect for his session. Mom and Dad had many ideas for this newborn portraits, and I was more than happy to oblige.

Mini newborn sessions are new for my studio, but I have to say...I'm in love with them. This little man was SO perfect for his newborn portraits! We even got a little smirk or two.

Such a beautiful family! And like most families, they said "we haven't had updated photos in YEARS." I hear that all the time! But once your kiddos get to a certain age...there isn't much change, right? So, you start to spread out those family photos, and the next thing you know...10+ years have passed, you have in-laws and grandkids now...and it's time for updated photos. LOL Don't worry! I got ya covered!

It's not very often that I get a "family" session with JUST the kiddos, but I wish I did get sessions like this way more often. There is something about the love between siblings that is always so fun to capture, and these four little s did not disappoint. They laughed, giggled and had so much fun on this SUPER cold day. They even jumped into the cold water for a few photos. 

Here are just a few of my faves from this sibling session...

I love when blended families come in for photos. This fantastic couple was freshly engaged, and celebrating with "new family" photos. So much fun to capture this special time in their lives.

Happiest of first birthdays to little man Kade! So over-the-moon excited for this amazing cake provided by Michelle's Scrumptious Bakery out of Juniata, NE. It was the perfect addition to this little man's cake smash session. Even though Kade had a few other plans when it came to smashing his cake, we still captured plenty before and the clean-up after. LOL

I simply adore this family. I think I have known them for the majority of my life as they are great friends of my parents. So when I was contacted to do this photo session of them with their precious dogs, I jumped at it. I mean...how could I ever turn down a photo session with dogs?! And then to have it be with long time family friends...this session was a must, even if it was only 30 degrees outside!

Love love love Maternity sessions. Whether they are full glam sessions or mini sessions, the glow of a momma-to-be is like none other. This lovely lady is quite simply, an amazing young woman. So honored to have her hire me to capture this beautiful time.

I love when families invite me into their home for a photo session. This makes the photos just THAT much more personal for them. Plus...this amazing family had just moved in the week before. This was their new home, and they were making new memories. Absolutely love when I get to capture these kinds of moments for families.

In October, I did a Modelling call for newborns on my Facebook page. I had purchased several new props and had been wanting to practice some amazing poses, so a practice session or two was needed. This sweet little dude was one of my two little models for the month of November.

Now...when mom tells you her babies like to be fully cooked and she usually has to be induced, you would think that would be a great way to set a date for newborn photos. However, babies come when they are ready, and this little man decided two weeks early was his time. Ha!

I was so excited to have him in the studio. Mom had made one request for her gift photo...a sibling shot of all her kiddos. All of which are under the age of 4! And all of which had their own ideas. But little did they know that this photographer is fine with sewing images together into one amazing shot. So for the safety of baby Bennett, we did three separate shots of the kiddos, and put them together in Photoshop. The end result....Amazing!

He was a perfect little model. Here are just a few of my favorites from this fantastic Newborn Modelling Session below. Enjoy!

I often do a modelling call out on my Facebook page when there is a technique I wish to try, a pose I want to practice, or (most of the time) when I get some fun new props I want to try out. This year, being new to the area of Hastings, I not only wanted to do all of the above, but also to get my business name out there to the public. What better way to get out there and practice my trade than a model call.

I had several ideas...some for a boy and some for a girl. Luckily this fantastic couple had just given birth to a surprise little girl. She was perfect!

With Model calls I don't do a planning consultation....the images are for me to practice. However, I do always offer a gift to my clients, and after hearing this family's story....I knew what we were going to do for their gift.

You see, Baby Quinn is a Rainbow baby. If you are unfamiliar with that term, a Rainbow Baby is a child born after a loss of another child due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or other tragedy. Miss Quinn's big brother had past away the year prior, and she is now the shining light after a tragic loss. I knew we had to celebrate her and her brother's lives in a special way. 

So after achieving several shots that were on my "to do" list, I set up for the rainbow shot. Mom had even brought a weighted bear and photograph in remembrance of her son, making this image even more special.
