ppn educational monday

Professional Photographers of Nebraska hosts from time to time an Educational Monday. These are 1 day workshops for members given by either a local Nebraska photographer or a WPPI/PPA affiliated speaker. Last week, I attended my first one at The Boiler Room Studios in Omaha and Chuck Arlund was our guy. He is an acclaimed fashion photographer out of Kansas City and Nashville and taught us about lighting and all his tricks for awesome high fashion portraits. We had 4 very diverse models come in and sit for us… that was the funnest part. That… and watching Chuck be crazy. He is a very interesting and entertaining guy. And he kind of looks like Jeff Daniels from the movie Dumb & Dumber, agree?  It was a really hot, windy day and we were all too beat to party too hard (and it was MONDAY), but we found some energy to try a new pizza place called Baxter’s in Benson. Very delish. Chuck liked all us blonde Nebraska girls.

have a wonderful weekend

it’s been an unusual week. I think it’s because I had a workshop on Monday… which seemed like Saturday. Then everyday after that was packed full of meetings and shoots. So needless to say I’m a little bit exhausted by today! But I’m trying to rest. Shooting a wedding tonight! And trying to use up things in our fridge before leaving for the weekend. So in case you drive by, we’ll be the ones grilling out in the driveway at lunchtime. : ) bbq chicken boobies and asparagus, anyone?

hope you all have a great weekend.

lyndie + jonathan’s growing family

just when I thought my friend had the tiniest baby bump, I’m proven wrong. It’s Lyndie that is carrying around a basketball. These guys are moving to the East coast very soon, but they wanted to capture this time in their lives before leaving Nebraska. So glad I got to meet you guys! And little Gigi is just the sweetest little thing. Great big sister potential.

MARTY CERNIK

Marty is a modest mouse. you can tell by his saucer-like eyeballs. very skeptical. but totally has everyone wrapped around his long, tubular body. adopted from SCLP last winter, Marty has it pretty fantastic. he gets to live at Brent and Whitney‘s beautiful house, has a pretty pimpin’ wardrobe, and doesn’t lack in the cuddle department. he is their baby until a real one comes along..see proof of it HERE. ; )

..and he follows his Mama EVERYWHERE.

I’d love to photograph your pet! click HERE for details.

Happy Friday!
