I’m so excited to share these photos of a very special couple I photographed recently. Our photoshoot was cancelled twice because of weather but in the end I’m glad it worked out that way. The day we took photos ended up exactly like we needed, perfect mild temperature and no rain!
I had a great time with these two. They are without a doubt in love and perfect for each other. The whole shoot was comfortable and so casual just the way I like it. I feel I really captured their personalities and their relationship. These types of photoshoots make me love what I’m doing even more.
I can’t wait to attend their wedding next May. After hanging out with these two I know it will be one heck of a party!
We went to two different areas to photograph in. One being the Old Market. There are so many cool little niches to photograph down there. Do you love the giant “O” that’s part of the Omaha O! Public Art Project? Here’s a video showing all the different “O” locations. hmmm, I just got an idea. How cool would it be to have every engagement session have at least one photo snapped at one of these locations? I have a couple more engagement sessions coming up. I may have to run it by them and see what they think.
One more cool thing about this couple . . . I share the same name as the bride-to-be. She even spells it the same! I don’t run into that very often. I love the way Cara told me how she explained me to her friends. “Her name is Cara and she even spells it correctly!” Love it, meaning there’s only one RIGHT way to spell it. 
Well, take care Zach and Cara! I will have your online gallery setup and ready to be viewed before the weekend. Thanks for such a fun photoshoot.

and the picture below signifies how I’m feeling today.
I’ve worked on the new site for well over a month now and I’m so glad it’s finally up and running. I got over 250 hits yesterday alone. Now I know those stats aren’t much to some people but to me they’re huge! And that’s only the first day.
I wanted to thank everyone that has passed my name on to their friends. To me there is no bigger compliment than good word of mouth publicity. To have you love my work and want to share it with others . . . wow, what a great feeling. Thank you.
So I’ll leave you with one of my favorite recent pictures of my favorite little buddy “C”. This photo is featured a couple times on my website. Can ya tell I love it? And check back within the next couple days. I’ve got some great photo shoots coming up that I can’t wait to share!

weddings I’ve ever attended was this past Sunday at the Renaissance Mansion. The couple had just returned from getting married in Japan. At their overseas wedding they wore traditional American outfits. At the ceremony last week back in the U.S. they dressed in beautiful kimonos!
Every detail of the ceremony was very special. During the ceremony they had friends speak, the tables had Japanese candy favors, and there was even sake at the bar. There was so much thought put into the preparations of their special day.
It was such a privilege to get to photograph this couple. Even though I’ve only spent a short time talking to know them I can tell they’re very special. They have such a neat story with how they met and got to know each other.
Congratulations E and H!

I realized I’ve never posted about the fabulous workshop I attended a couple weeks ago. I can’t say enough about the ladies that put this on, Cheryl Muhr and Jodie Otte. They were so willing to share not only photography tips but what they’ve learned running their successful businesses. I was SO inspired on the plane ride home. I have all these ideas about new things to offer my clients, new places to do photoshoots, etc. I’ve had to start a notebook with my ideas so I don’t forget them all! I keep it next to my bed and more than once I’ve awoken in the middle of the night to jot something down.
One of the things I’ve been working on lately is a new website! I’m so excited to share it with you all once it’s just right. Designing is a lot of fun but also very time consuming. I’ll be sure to announce when the official launching day is!
In the meantime here’s some photos I took at the workshop. We were so lucky to get to work with such talented, adorable models! Not only did we have great kids to work with but the surroundings were incredible. The windows in the studio and the urban surroundings outside were wonderful to work with. I’m on the lookout for a place like this close to where I live now!

Take a look at these gorgeous little girls in matching pink dresses. Nope, they’re not sisters. Close though . . . These are photos of my two best friends and their daughters. All three of my good friends from high school each had a baby girl this past year. Hopefully someday I can join them! ha ha
We did a photoshoot in June when L was in town and had so much fun watching the two young ones interact. With nothing but a vintage quilt and the green grass as our background it was a very casual, comfortable time.
And these last couple of photos just melt my heart. We thought we were all done but when baby snuggled into mommy I couldn’t resist. They were playing and then she just laid down on mommy’s cheek and stuck her thumb in her mouth. Priceless!
