Darrell & Jen: Details

2012-01-20T10:21:00.001-06:00

I don't normally photograph weddings on my own, but Jen and Darrell were alittle different. Jen is a good friend of mine and was comfortable with me not having lights or an extra set of equiptment. While the day was not exactly what I planned for (weddings never are though:) ) It was great. I had a ton of fun and the couple and wedding party were amazing! Here are some detail shots.

W. Family

2012-01-20T10:11:00.000-06:00

You may have seen these guys on the blog before. They are so loyal and I have been doing their pictures for a few years now. I am so grateful for them and for being so wonderful! Thanks guys! Can't wait to continue to capture the growth and personalities of your kids!

V. Family

2012-01-20T10:02:00.000-06:00

When I photographed this family, I had only met mom. She was my supervisor during my practicum and is now a fellow co-worker. I was able to learn about her family before even meeting them. We had a little bit of a windy day, in late fall, but were still able to find some good spots for pictures. They were troopers and I had a lot of fun with them! They have a beautiful family.

B. Family

2012-01-20T09:44:00.007-06:00

These guys are also family friends and my sisters and I (and yes, even my brother) have watched these little kiddos since they were babies. They are so smart and so funny. I love being around them and their parents. The little guy was going to be turning 5 soon after our shoot and so he had to show me how old he was going to be:) Such cuties!

H. Family

2012-01-19T22:16:00.000-06:00

I have known the H family for a long time and remember when the younger girls were litttle! It makes me feel old! This family is big into farming and wanted to incorporate that into some of their pictures. They were also willing to trust me and I said I wanted to take them to a 'junk yard' in town. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of great pictures!

V. Family

2012-01-19T22:00:00.001-06:00

Rachel is a fellow therapist and she is absolutely amazing. Her and her family went through a hard time when little Hayden was born, spending time in the NICU. Once the little guy was home, I got to do some family pictures!

Keaton's 1st Birthday

2012-01-16T18:06:00.000-06:00

Keaton is my cousin's little boy and when they were around this summer, right around the time he turned 1, we did his pictures and had alittle party for him! He makes the best faces!

Playing Catch-Up

2012-01-11T21:02:00.000-06:00

Well, it's been some time....SOME time...try 7 months right?! A LOT has happend in the past 7 months, which explains some of why I am so behind.

The following posts are my attempt to get caught up and share with everyone what I have been workinng on.

I have great clients who are loyal and all around amazing. I could not be more blessed and I am so thankful all of them!

Dee Senior 2011

2011-06-10T23:50:00.000-05:00

Dee rocked her session and I had so much fun with her! She is stunning and I don't think I have seen anyone rock the smile and serious look both as well as she does! These are some of my favorites but it was so hard to choose!

Tenora and Family Continued

2011-06-10T23:24:00.000-05:00

Since I am missing my friend and her boys lately, I thought I would post another of the second session that I did with them. We had some additional kiddos in these and I love how they turned out!

Yep, he is naughty....:)

Tenora, Hudson and Trapper

2011-06-10T23:10:00.000-05:00

Tenora is a dear dear friend of mine and I love her two boys to death! Later this summer, I am blessed to have the priviledge of being Trapper's Godparent. It's been almost two months or more since I have seen the little guys and I miss them dearly. I have done a few sessions with them. Here are a few from our very first one!

Tenora and Hudson

Tenora and Trapper

What a cutie pie!! Love him!

Yes, the water was more interesting the whole session than I was.

Trapper, my soon to be Godson! Love him too!

Kelsey Senior 2011

2011-06-10T09:16:00.001-05:00

I can't believe my baby sister just graduated! I was so excited to do her senior pictures and had many opportunities to do so. We were able to do about 4 different sessions and I got to play with a lot of ideas. I am so happy with how they turned out and Kelsey looked BEAUTIFUL! (I know I'm biased but COME ON.....SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!) I love you Kels!

P.S. Go Huskers! :)

Angel Senior 2011

2011-06-10T07:40:00.000-05:00

Angel is a good friend of my sisters and her, my sister and I took a trip to Omaha, NE for their senior pictures. It was a great trip and we had tons of fun! Angel looks beautiful and I think that the pictures really show her personality. Thanks for such a fun time Ang!

MaKayla Senior 2011

2011-06-10T07:23:00.000-05:00

I am AGAIN way far behind on blogging and wanted to make sure I got the wonderful seniors posted on the blog! Here are some of my favorites of MaKayla. She was so fun to work with!!

I love this one because it really shows MaKayla's personality.

These following images were fun for me because MaKayla was willing to let me try an idea that I had. I had made a raft and we went to Roadside Park and played around with some ideas!

Trevor + Amanda 8.21.2010

2011-03-18T22:15:00.000-05:00

Brent + Brittany: 8.7.10

2010-11-13T12:10:00.000-06:00

These 2 were fun as well as I also went to school with them both. They were a few years ahead of me, but we knew of each other none-the-less. It was also fun because the bride's little sister is good friends with my little sister! It was a fun wedding and the bride looked BEAUTIFUL as always!!

Congrats you two!

Brent looking very country, very stylish:)

So in love!

I absolutely love this one! I love Brittany's boots!

Very simple, but very pretty flowers

This was not a staged moment...just very natrual for them....how cute are they!?

Stunning!

So, I really like this boot one too! I just can't get over how cute they are!

Another one of the flowers

The whole wedding party. Very fun crowd!

Aaron + Sarah: 7.17.10

2010-11-11T07:07:00.002-06:00

So, I am EXTREMELY behind on blogging the weddings of the summer! Not only am I behind on blogging weddings, I am behind on blogging period! So, I am going to attempt to get caught up!

What better way to start than with Aaron and Sarah (Fidd as I remember her). Sarah was a junior in high school when I was a freshman and was always so nice to us underclassmen! Her and Aaron make such a wonderful couple and I LOVED the way he reacted when he saw her for the first time! He was blown away and all he could say was, "Wow!" This couple was so much fun, as was their wedding party. I hope things are going well for the 2 of you!

Ashley + Cordell: 7.3.10

2010-09-01T16:46:00.000-05:00

Ashely and Cordell got married on a very hot day! The Catholic Church in Alton is not air conditioned either! We spent the day taking pictures in short incriments of time so the bride and groom (and bridal party) did not get too hot! Ashley was beautiful and the wedding was great. Best of luck to you both!

Rachel + Josh: 6.26.10

2010-09-01T07:51:00.000-05:00

I went to High School with Josh and the little I know him, he's an awesome guy. Just from shooting this wedding and spending a little bit of time with this bride and groom, I can definately tell how in love they are. The look on Josh's face when he saw Rachel for the first time was priceless. It was a look of true love. Their wedding was very personal, simple, and all about them and their love for each other. It was a reminder of what love should look like and I have no doubt that these two will last forever. Congratulations Rachel and Josh!

2010-08-05T20:22:00.000-05:00

Brittany and Josh were the first wedding of the season with LG Imagery. I have known Brittany for awhile as she is friends with my little sister, her older sister was in my class in high school, and her older brother's wife was a softball coach at my high school. Needless to say...I know Brittany well, she looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and her wedding went so well!

Sadie

2010-08-04T21:28:00.003-05:00

This past Sunday, Luke and I were on our way back from Okoboji and dropping of the Waverunners Luke's friend Nick let us borrow on our vacation at Lake Shetek, when we got a heart breaking phone call. My mother-in-law, Ruth, told us that they found Saide laying by the barn and she couldn't walk, and she thought she probably needed to be put down.

When Sadie was about 1, she would be about 6 now, she was hit by a car and the wheel of the car ran right over her stomach. She was lucky she lived, but developed a tumor in her adominal cavity. When Lana took her in this past Thursday to get her shots, the vet said that the tumor had grown to the size of a football and nothing could be done about it. It wouldn't hurt anything until it started pushing on other organs.

Well, we called the vet and took Sadie in to be looked at. He told us that Sadie probably wouldn't make it through the night and we could either take her home or have her put down. We all decided to have her put down.

So we went back to the farm and were digging where we were going to bury her and I got stung by a bee, twice. Luke got stung once and Lana's boyfriend Travis got stung as well. What a way to continue the day....

So this post is in tribute to Sadie. She was greatly loved by everyone and everyone is going to miss her alot. I was especially looking forward to the time we moved out the acerage and she could go on more walks with me. Luke and I had plans to take her camping more often, swimming more often, and just being around and outside to play with her more often once we moved there. I am very sad we won't be able to do that. We love you Sadie baby!

Busy Weekend

2010-07-02T23:04:00.000-05:00

So this past weekend was CRAZY for pictures! Friday evening I photographed an AWESOME senior. She was up for anything and I had so much fun trying ideas out with her!

Saturday was a wedding with LG Imagery. Which went wonderfuly!

Sunday was my sister and her best friend's senior pictures! We road tripped it down to Omaha, stopped in our old home town in NE on the way and got some great images!

Here are Sneak Peeks from the weekend:)

Friday Senior:

Saturday Wedding:

Sunday's Seniors:

This weekend: One wedding! And an enjoyable 4th with friends and family. Have a blessed weekend!

J+J Engagements

2010-06-09T22:16:00.000-05:00

My best friend and her fiance came to Omaha for the weekend and we did their engagment pictures! We had a ton of fun and got some great images to prove it!

These two are sooo in love and the way they look at each other is so refreshing and heart warming. I have no doubts that these 2 will last a lifetime. I love them both to death and can't wait to be a part of their special day! As a matron of honor, I will not be able to help with their wedding on the photography side, but my sister-in-law, Lana Greving of LG Imagery will do a wonderful job!

Thanks for letting me drag you guys around town in the heat! You were troopers and I hope you like how they turned out! Love you!

W Family

2010-06-08T20:03:00.001-05:00

These guys have been friends of the family for awhile now and we all absolutely love them all! This time it was mainly for B's 1 year pictures...but as you will be able to see...she wasn't havin' it at all! B has a mind of her own and definately did not want to be taking pictures that day! J on the other hand, loves the camera and posed really well. I love photographing these guys and I hope to have the privledge of documenting more birthdays and special events!

2010-04-21T22:59:00.000-05:00

My sister-in-law designed me a new logo and business cards. I absolutely LOVE them!! Here is what the front and back look like!

She did an awesome job and I LOVE them! Thanks Les!

Family Christmas Card

2010-01-12T21:10:00.000-06:00

While shuffling all of the holiday events my siblings and I were able to get in a picture for the Christmas card. With a brother who likes to pick on his big sisters, especially Abby, because he knows she won't take it as well:) It's comical and frustrating at the same time to use the self timer to try to get that one good image for the card! We managed a decent one this year. I am just thankful we are all here after Jon's scare with his football injury. I love them all and I don't know what I would do without my siblings!!

W Family

2010-01-11T22:12:00.000-06:00

I have photographed the W family before and they were just as fun this time as the last! The Monday following our weekend shoot they finalized the adoption of little B. They are now an official family and a cute one at that! I realize that I take what I have a for a family for granted so many times. Looking at these guys and what they have gone through to get where they are today makes me so grateful for my loved ones. My challenge to you today is to think about your family and thank God for all he has given you. Once you start, it's hard to stop!

A Family

2009-11-24T16:51:00.000-06:00

Wow, this was a great session! As the A family are my parent's next door neighbors, I have known the family for a long time. It was so fun to finally photograph them and have my mom along as my assistant to make the session a fun time for all and to truly capture this family at their best! I love the way the images turned out!

VW Family

2009-11-24T16:42:00.000-06:00

These guys came all the way up from Kansas to see me and have me do their pictures! I was so honored! I had done some of their neices and nephews before so it was great to meet more of the family! Thanks so much for coming and meeting me in Council Bluffs guys! You were great and I'm sorry little G wasn't happier. We'll have to try again sometime!

Miss P

2009-11-24T16:33:00.000-06:00

Miss P was a practice session of mine as babies are harder to come by it seems! She is a beauty though! Her dark hair and dark eyes melt your heart! She's growing fast as they always seem to do...but her Christmas dress was still big for her in October!

Pippen

2009-11-24T16:27:00.000-06:00

J's dog Pippen was a stinker the day I tried to photograph her! She just wanted to run around the neighborhood instead of playing or looking at me. We did get her to sit for a moment and got these.

T's Senior Session

2009-11-23T22:30:00.001-06:00

We did T's senior pictures in a few different days as the first one was cold and coudy. Day 2 was a little windy, but much warmer and we were able to get some great shots both days.

Glennwood at Sunset

2009-11-05T20:31:00.000-06:00

On our way back from dropping off item's at Shop Around The Corner in Glennwood, IA, Luke and I pulled over to get some shots of the sunset. Luke's great at manuvering the blazer so I can get a good shot:) Here are the products of our work together!

Black and Whites

2009-10-14T21:20:00.003-05:00

These are a few black and whites that I have laying around in my files. Thought I would share something a little bit different than portraits.

Sunflowers

2009-10-10T20:06:00.000-05:00

As it snowed last night, I was looking back through my pictures of the summer. Here are a few of the sunflowers that I grew and are now drying to try eat the seeds! As much as I am going to miss summer, I really do enjoy winter! I love the snow, cuddling up by the fire, and wearing warm clothes and lots of blankets. But to honor summer and all of it's fun times....some colorful images to brighten your day!

K Practice Session

2009-10-02T23:22:00.000-05:00

My baby sister is all grown up! We did a few practice pictures quick last weekend and here she is looking more beautiful than ever!

W Kids

2009-10-02T23:08:00.000-05:00

I love these two! Little J is a spitfire and little I is so attched to her momma!

Baby R

2009-10-02T23:00:00.000-05:00

This little cutie is just that! A little cutie!!

B Family

2009-10-02T22:50:00.000-05:00

The boys of this family were nothing but energy and ran around K's farm all evening! They were able to sit still for a few moments to capture a few images, but were frankly more interested in the kittens, horses, dogs and gravel pit! Little E was a doll and trying hard to keep up with her big brothers. She is going to be a tough girl!

A and E

2009-10-01T21:13:00.000-05:00

This couple is SOOO cute! I love them! They were game for anything I suggested and we had many laughs during our session. I would photograph these two anyday as they were great to work with, and look at them-they are so cute together!

B Family

2009-09-30T22:47:00.000-05:00

We had a great time trying to get little M to cooperate, sit still, and smile for ONE picture! We still managed to get some good ones though. Not everyone needs a staged photo where everyone is smiling nice. Sometimes those in between moments are the best:)

K Kids and Family

2009-09-30T22:15:00.000-05:00

L and her kids were a ton of fun to photograph. We went to McCory Gardens and the old train station in Brookings, SD.

T's Family

2009-09-30T21:15:00.000-05:00

While doing T's Senior Session I also had the opportunity to get some good ones of her little siblings. And one of them all together.

Senior Session

2009-09-30T20:32:00.000-05:00

I did T's senior pictures in Sioux Falls, SD. I travel all over from Brookings, SD all the way down to Omaha, NE. We had a fun time exploring the property of a good friend of her mom's. We got some great shots! She was beautiful and great to work with!

Cousin N

2009-09-30T19:37:00.000-05:00

This is my beautiful cousin N!!! During the hustle and bustle of graduation time we had a chance to sneak away and practice for senior pictures! She did great and my wonderful assistant, my cousin J did awesome too!

Pool Time

2009-09-30T18:10:00.000-05:00

These kiddos have been hanging out my parent's house for a few summers now as my sister babysits them during the summer. I had a chance to go to the pool with them one sunny afternoon and we had a ton of fun!

K is the oldest

C is in the middle...only boy...poor guy!

M is the baby!

F Family

2009-09-30T17:46:00.000-05:00

These kids were great! Little Z was just adorable and N was so willing to let me try new things and cooperated SO well! Thanks for a fun session guys!

H Family

2009-09-30T15:06:00.000-05:00

The H Family is a very special family to me. Little A is like my little niece and her momma is a dear friend of mine. From the time I met them, they have welcomed me into their lives and their home like I knew them for years! Even though we are far apart in miles...you guys know your close in my heart!

Little A just wasn't feeling the love that night!

Momma and A - Looking at Daddy on my left...can you tell!? :)

Cutie Pie...So happy to be sitting by herself!

Cousins and Grandkids

2009-09-30T10:19:00.000-05:00

These are a few of the grandkids of VA's. They were a ton of fun and full of energy!

To Start It Off...

2009-09-29T22:59:00.000-05:00

Let's put some color on this page! Can't wait to fill the archives with ideas, inspiration, and images. Hope you enjoy and let me know if there's something special you want to see!

And an image to start it off, because all posts would be naked without one! I know it's not a colored image, but here's my hubby and I!
