  • Welcome!

    I love showing someone that they are beautiful, inside and out. Your unique beauty is what I strive to creatively capture, giving you the gift of an artistic portrait that you can cherish forever.

    Drawn to photography after my sons were born, I am a professional photographer in Nebraska that connects to your family while delivering imaginative and fun portraits. I approach each session individually and personally. I want you to have fun, feel confident and be excited about your photos.

    Take a look around, and make yourself at home!

What a year!

Okay, I admit it, I have done a HORRIBLE job with the blog this year! I had the best of intentions but somehow 1 day turned into 1 week turned into 1 month and there never seemed to be enough time! It has been a fantastic year for me both personally and professionally. In the midst of a struggling economy, I was so blessed to be doing a “job” that I absolutely LOVE. Thank you to my wonderful clients for your loyalty and continued business! As always, if you have any feedback for me, please let me know.

I have a few New Year’s resolutions. First, I am running my first half-marathon in May. The training has begun and I write this with very, very sore legs! I never thought I would be a “runner” but I am enjoying the challenge physically and mentally. Another resolution is to stress less. We shall see how that one goes. I won’t bore you with the rest, but this blog is also on my list. Check back to see how I’m doing.:-)

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are off to a fantastic 2012! Blessings to you and your families!

first day of summer…

Today was such a great day! The boys are done with school, we are back from Disney, and it feels like summer has really started. The past few months my boys have all been begging to help me at the studio. I decided they are all old enough that it just might work for some sessions. Yesterday Keaton, my oldest (age 11 1/2), helped me with shoots in both Seward and Lincoln. He did GREAT and I enjoyed spending time just the two of us. This morning, my youngest, Micah (turning 8 in 3 weeks), helped with two sessions in Seward. He carried my Radio Flyer fire truck, helped make the kids smile, let me tickle him, chased the kids, and did such a great job! I was pinching myself the whole time at how much fun my “job” is and feeling so blessed that as the boys get older, they can continue to be a part of my business. Spending time with them in this way was simply- fun.:)Tomorrow is Connor’s turn so stay tuned for an update on how that goes!

After lunch I finished up my newsletter and here is the link. We have lots of news, events, and information about a fantastic charity, Operation Give a Hug. Please click here for a link to the newsletter… http://mim.io/a1da21.
