{S} family | Omaha family photographer

Gotta love this family full of giggles and good times! This will be the LAST time all the kids will be together for 2 whole years, so mama S made sure to squeeze in a photo shoot. Although they told me it was a CrAzY day, they seemed so relaxed and ready for pictures. I especially love that they decided to wear their favorite college shirts - haha! If you know this family, they are all about FUN!

 

 Sisters!

In the last picture, I told them to look at the person they loved the most. It's so funny that mom and dad were the only ones looking at each other while all the kids were looking anywhere else but at each other! hehehe, I sure do love this family!

{K} Family | Omaha Family Photographer

EVERYTHING about this session made me happy. The family, their style, how handsome and amazingly beautiful they are, and most of all - how easily they made each other laugh!

The lighting was perfect and the usually busy streets were on the verge of waking up when we went to Old Market. Olivia knew exactly what to do and pulled it off like a glamour girl. Jack casually did his thing with his perfect smile that lights up his eyes. Mama K has got to be really proud of her stunning family!

The end. :)

Another darling family! | Elkhorn Family Photographer

Oh my word, do these girls crack me up! And they seriously have THE nicest parents you will ever meet. This family came ready to smile and have fun as we waltzed around downtown Elkhorn. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

And sometimes the candid silly faces are my favorites...

The {C} family | Omaha family photographer

3 boys in one family -- you may instantly think - T.R.O.U.B.L.E! :) Camouflage, dirt, exploring, and experimenting is just part of daily life for this family. I've gotten to know these kids over the past couple years, and you couldn't find a better bunch than this family of boys! Their creativity is limitless, and their hunger for learning new things is inspiring. And to top it off, you can tell that they really love their mama!

This session was pure JOY!

The lovely {P} family | Omaha area photographer

I hear so often "It's been __ amount of years since we've had our pictures taken." I totally understand! The time and stress it takes to get family pictures done is enough to postpone it every year. But what makes me happy is when I get to help families finally get around to it!

I had donated a session to a fundraiser for a little baby boy with pediatric cancer, and this is how I met Tera. She mentioned she was so excited to not only help this family, but to also be getting family pictures after what she said was a long time. She dreamed of black and white pictures of her kids hanging down her hallway. I can't tell you how much I adored this family! The session started out easy with photogenic smiles...but the meltdowns were slowly happenin'. You see, I come prepared for pretty much anything that could happen. I know how to wing it and switch up a session for these little ones who just don't wanna be told what to do. But I will tell you, I had no way of fixing the littlest boy falling into a pit of muddy, cold water! Good thing Mama P came prepared with a change of shorts, but the last few images of the night with his tear-streaked cheeks now have a story! Poor little man.

(*update: I was just informed that the little boy with cancer passed away early this morning. My heart aches for this family, and I'm sure the days and weeks and months ahead will be more than difficult. My thoughts are with their family...)

{G} Family | Omaha Family Photographer

Fall has come...and seems to be heading out! We had to reschedule this darling family's photoshoot because of a huge windstorm with a bit of cold rain. I think both Emily and I were worried that there wouldn't be any leaves left on the trees from all that crazy wind! Thankfully it was one of the last gorgeous days left of fall AND the trees and leaves were gorgeous!

This photogenic family was so hilarious! I had a good time chasing these little ones full of fun energy - such good kids! I can't even say how much I really love this family and their photo session!

Little {Nell} - one week | Omaha Newborn Photographer

Remember this family? Well now this is a family of three!

I love going into a family's home during a newborn photoshoot. You get a glimpse of who they are and what they value. Mama G was more than ready when I came. Bows were laid out, baby Nell was fed and sleeping, and they both looked beautiful. All around her {very organized} home were pictures of family - nieces, nephews, brothers, and sisters. You can tell what is important to Mandy and Josh, and this well-deserving couple received their little 7 lb package that they've been waiting a long time for. She was a squirmy li'l peanut, but never did cry!

Congratulations - she's beautiful Mandy!
