mr. and mrs. kastler!

father mike said it best: God gives us just what we need for today. marriage is not for the faint of heart. if most married couples knew what they were in for, they’d be headed for the hills! but i don’t think these two will. they stuck out their ‘post’ photo shoot in the rain and tornado watches. they got what it takes. : )

sweet lawson’s heart

one of my oldest and dearest clients (lawson’s mama, sadie) had baby number 2! lawson was born a few months ago and you could say he had a rough start…. he did get a helicopter ride, though. open heart surgery practically right after his birth and nicu for several weeks. we are happy to report that he is finally on the mend and growing strong. what a tough little guy….and the first in my very own studio! (well, future studio… we really had to be creative due to a very WET day in wahoo! thanks for your never-ending trust, brad and sadie. : )

Sweet Baby Lawson! Staci – thanks for the great pics….they tell a story that we won’t soon forget!

the bokenkamp family!

when jon first emailed me to schedule a session, i was truly humbled. i met him through the world theatre haunted house a couple of years ago and through mutual friends, as well. he’s creative and mucho talented (he’s a big time holywood screenwriter!:)and when all of our ideas combined and this anxiously awaited session, there was pure magic. kathy told me they had never really had a family portrait session. can you believe that?! jackson is 7! they belong in pictures, don’t you think? i don’t think i’ve ever had so much fun photographing a family before. and to cap off my evening, i was invited to stay for wine, dinner, and intellectual conversation. thank you, from the bottom of my heart, bokenkamp family! i <3 you! enjoy!

That black and white of the parents kissing and the boy flipped upside down…sooo amazing! Love it!

sunrise, sunrise

what an awesome day! i went to omaha to have breakfast with my buddy Mona to return her mega awesome lens she let me borrow for fun. (thanks so much!!! it’s a heavy sucker!) then to lincoln to spend the day with one of my besties, Amber! their family session is just around the corner and, well, shopping for portraits can be a bit stressful. she got a sitter and we power-shopped for a good 2 hours with much success. a quick lunch at panera then i began my quest to purchase paint and a birthday gift for my hubby (he’s getting older tomorrow) i hit rush hour traffic coming home, ate a quick sloppy joe and i’m ryan’s ‘on call’ helper. as a matter of fact, it’s taken me about 25 minutes to write this paragraph because every few minutes he yells for me to hand him something in the attic. haha  i’ll be so glad when the electrical portion of this reno is C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E. so i can actually do something. like paint and design stuff. : ) cannot wait to share the dozens of changes happening to the pink panther….hopefully just another 6 weeks.

now here are some more pics from my beautiful sunrise maternity session!
