When I photographed this guy, he had only been Earthside about a week! You might recognize his lovely mother and older brothers from previous posts. I recently shot mom's maternity session. {scroll down a bit...}

Here is a sneak peek for you, mom! The rest are soon to follow. Enjoy.














{ I just had to snap a photo of this...it was hung up in the nursery. TOTAL Sweetness. }

Hannah [2011 Senior-- Part I]

Another stunning 2011 senior. Seriously--I have the best job in the world! Hannah, you're the real deal. The world is better because you are in it. I love that you are as beautiful inside as you are out; the future holds many shiny things for you!

Enjoy your photos! I'll see you in a few months for the second half of your session--in the snow!

Katelyn [2011 Senior]

It's been awhile since I have encountered someone of this age, that is so full of beauty and so comfortable with who they are. Katelynn, it was absolutely my pleasure to meet you, and I hope that you love your images as much as I did. The future is yours, my dear!!

Summer Recap, 2010 {family}

On a personal note, this summer flew by so quickly! I kept quite busy with clients, as well as my son's sixth birthday and our family vacation making it memorable.

Here is a photo summary of my sixth year old's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. (I know, I know--but he BEGGED us to have it there!) Ü



Any 'Nightmare Before Christmas' fans in the house?? My kids LOVE this movie. Hence; the cake.



A fun time was had by all!



Next up, a very small photo sampling of our family vacation to Omaha, Nebraska. (It is merely a tiny fraction of the 403 vacation pictures I brought home...yikes.)

We had a wonderful time at the spectacular Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, yummy restaurants, homemade ice cream parlors, The Childrens' Museum, and Omaha's lovely Botanical Gardens. (<---this is where mamma went a little camera crazy. Ü)



Best of all, I got to soak up these people. ♥



Coming soon...many sneak peeks and some recent sessions! xo

some recent bellies...

I know, I know--you weren't sure if I was dead or alive! This summer has been so. insanely. busy. I am sorry for being such a bad blogger as of late! I am back.

I have SO MUCH to share with you, dear readers.

Tonight, however; I am choosing to share a couple of recent maternity sessions with you.

Meet Amy; she is a dear, long time client of mine. She very recently welcomed her third little boy into the world since these photos were taken. I am excited to get him in front of my lens, next week. I will be seeing him often over the next year; as he is a new member of the 'Watch Me Grow' baby club. (It's where all the cool babes hang out!)













Next up, the lovely Kristen. There is nothing quite like expecting your first child, and it is proven by her glow. These were some favorites from our time together.










Stay tuned for a summer recap, beautiful babies, seniors, and much much more!
