LOVE IS ELEMENTARY

I knew Kali and Jared's wedding would be special when I shot their engagement photos. These two are so in love, it's almost unreal. They met back in elementary school. Their story is one for a novel or movie and they couldn't be more perfect for eachother.

Both of their families were so wonderful to us and we had the best time ever! It's going to be a hard wedding to beat! Congratulations you two and have a happy honeymoon!




I have to give a shout out to my friends Aaron and Molly at The Silver Screen. These videographers are photojournalism perfected! Always a great time working with you two!

LITTLE JACK

This is Jack, our newest Bebe! Jack (love this name!) was one of the BEST newborns ever. He slept for the first half of his session and then woke up all smiles like he could read my mind. Jack's mom, Jayme and I learned we had a lot in common, it's funny how small the world really is! I can't wait to see this little peanut grow!

LEARNING FROM THE BEST

Yesterday I went out to Kearney with three other photogs to see the best of senior photographers, Brian Baer of Baer Photography. Here are a few of my shots from the workshop...
Thank you to our beautiful model, Collani!


The fabulous Brian Baer, also the VP of the Professional Photographers of Nebraska!
Thank you, Kristi and Brian for opening up your studio and your brains to us!

CAMERON + JULIE

These two are AMAZING! Besides the fact that Cameron could make any girl giggle, he is SO in love with his new wife, it's too cute! We had a blast last night with these two and their equally entertaining wedding party!

Cameron surprised Julie with an over sized wedding gift, a dog kennel. It may seem odd but Julie wants a puppy so so bad and her reaction was priceless!






I have to give a plug to my buddies Larry and Scott at Russell Video! They are always so much fun to work with and do an awesome job. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, in my opinion, it is SO worth it! And if you don't do it, you will definitely regret it in 5 or 10 years (I'm speaking from experience)!

BABY LAUREN

Lauren just turned one in early June. She came in right after waking up this morning and was in the best mood ever! She was all smiles!

KHARMA

I'm on the board of directors for Fresh Start Home. They are in desparate need of a new website. My work neighbor, Jason of Pure Light Productions generously agreed to donate his services to this cause. Thank you Jason! You don't know how much this will help the organization!

These are Jason's girls. He and his wife Cindy just had their 6th baby, a boy named Samuel. Congrats to you and thanks again!

BABY BELLA

This cutie just turned 1! Mom, Andy came in to get a head shot for her business card and just happened to bring Bella looking irresistibly cute, I couldn't resist a few shots!

JAKE + TIFF

If you live in Nebraska, you understand what it's like to be in tornado warnings lately. Jacob and Tiffany live in Ceresco and one week before their wedding, a tornado ripped through their town. TWO days before their wedding, they found trees on their house and were left with no power at all!
Despite the headaches from the storm, they were able to leave that all behind them on their wedding day. I always wonder what the couples are thinking about on the altar...I know these two had a lot to be thankful for.

NICK & BEN

Twins Nick and Ben were so fun to be with last week. I don't know how parents with multiples do it! These guys were running in four different directions at once but we had a great time! This is Hazel Abel park in midtown Lincoln. It's a great place to take kids this age because there's plenty to keep them busy!

HUNTER AT 3 MONTHS

If you recall in March, I photographed this little guy on the day he was born! This little peanut is doing so well for his age! At a 90th percentile for his weight and 70th for his height, he's holding up his head and making the cutest little gurgling noises! We did their session at mom and dad's new house for something a little different this time.

COREY & NATASHA : SMALL TOWN WEDDING

Last Saturday's wedding took place in Wilber Nebraska (Czech capitol of NE)! After the wedding, we followed the couple to Corey's farm for some location pictures. I just LOVE photographing places I haven't been before, it creates a new challenge and lots of new ideas!

After the farm, we went to the reception in the small town of Milligan (population 300). It seemed like the whole town was there and everyone was having so much fun! The best part about the night - Natasha's grandparent's polka band, The Happy Czechs played during the dance! Too cute!
