Sweet Baby B, NICU, 3 weeks old

Baby B was born 11 weeks early. At 3lbs, 7oz today, he is making slow, but steady progress to enter into his home and meet his four older siblings. I was nervous to go into the NICU, my first time ever, but was amazed at the peace and comfort I found there. Blessings to these sweet parents and the rest of their family as they anxious await Baby B's arrival home.

Sneak Peak: The Holt Family

Our original plan was to take indoor photos a the capital, but unfortunately it wasn't open at the time we wanted to meet... so this very flexible and understanding family met me at another location for (mostly) outdoor photos- and the temperature was barely above freezing. It ended up being perfect and quite serendipitous as this is where I first met the Holt family 4 years ago! 

Celebrating Adoption- The Mahnke Family

This sweet couple, who is expecting their first child in the Spring, has just adopted four children! We spent a GORGEOUS Nebraska December afternoon at the park (without coats!) and captured some fun moments before heading off to the adoption party at a nearby restaurant where friends and family gathered to rejoice with this forever family.

Sneak Peak: Wirth Cousins

Never have I met such a large group of kiddos who were:

1. SOOO well behaved
2. Fun
3. Hilarious!
4. Obedient

All of them. The entire time. Seriously. Their mothers are to be commended for fantastic parenting! I have hundreds and hundreds of photos and had to stop myself from just uploading the majority for the sneak peak! We have to save SOME for surprises! Enjoy!

Sneak Peak: Eneigh Family

A new client, but not unfamiliar faces. These boys were so sweet and kind!

Sneak Peak: Alexandria's Senior Photos

Senior photos are a blast, and an opportunity I don't often get since I'm typically booked solid with family sessions and kiddo portraits. This was a session I had donated to an auction last year and am so thankful for this amazing family! This young lady was kind, respectful, generous, loving towards her mother, yet still a teenager who wanted to have fun, show some sass and stay true to herself! Congrats on your upcoming graduation! Class of '13!

Sneak Peak: Looper Family

This is our sweet babysitter and her amazing family. This poor dad- he is surrounded by beauty and sass! We traveled out into the country to a great farm with a gorgeous, renovated barn plus all of the old, dilapidated out buildings you'd expect to find.
