Unsleepy little man...

Landon and his mommy and daddy spent, oh, 3 hours in the studio Monday night for his newborn shoot. I love photographing babies and love love love when they fall into that deep sleep where you can just play with them and they don't wake. Well, Landon wasn't having it! He fell fast asleep on mommy and daddy, but once we put him down his eyes popped open. I can't believe someone so little (4 weeks) could be awake so long. I had so much fun with them though and hope they didn't mind hanging out! They are an adorable little family!!!

*Please accept and understand my reason for these deadlines
I want to be able to enjoy the holiday season with my husband and two little guys!*
Thank you and have a wonderful fall!

Logan is One!

I can't believe this big guy is already one! It seems like just yesterday when I was doing his newborn shoot. He was much more interested in exploring and eating than looking at me and smiling, but hey...that's a one year old!

Little Miss Hailey!

I met Hailey on Sunday and she was such a little sweetie pie. Once we got her to sleep, she just snuggled right in. Poor little ones tummy was hurtin' but it was so much fun taking pictures of her!

Three weeks and counting!!!

This little belly is about 3 weeks till it's ready to pop and what an adorable belly it is! Mommy and Daddy know it's a girl and they are so excited and they were so fun to have in the studio!!! Shooting belly bumps are so fun, especially when it's a first child they are expecting....their lives are going to change SO much!!!

Jamie & Joe

These two are gearing up for a September wedding but took a little time out of their day Sunday to meet me at Elmwood park for some engagment photos. I've known Jamie since college and it's so fun to see her in love and on track to be a baby doctor, which I think is so cool. Oh, and Joe's a flight instructor which is also so cool. I admit, I'm a little jealous of both their jobs....

Gianna has a new little sister!

What sweet little girls! Big sister Gianna had the most adorable pig tails and loved playing with all the trains frogs in the studio, but we were able to distract her enough to pop in a few pictures with her new little sister. Francesca was adorably sweet and was perfect in her first photo shoot! Mommy and daddy seemed so overjoyed to have two such precious girls and I really think it shows in the family shots. It looks like Gianna is proudly showing me her new baby sister!

Jill and Dan 8.22.09

Jill & Dan had a perfect August day for a wedding! They were such an adorable couple and had a pretty crazy fun wedding party. We had tons of time to find places to shoot around the downtown area before their reception which was so much fun for me. I am loving the images I got downtown so much! There are so many great places to shoot outside the old market area!!!

#3 is on the way....

The McNew family is patiently awaiting the arrival of their newest little sibling...will it be a boy or girl? Who knows but look at these adorable shots we got before their family expands. We met at the park yesterday evening. It was a beautiful night out!

Baby Mckenna

This sleepy little girl did great for her first photoshoot! She was a little doll and it was so sweet to see how much her mommy and daddy love her....here's a peek:

Amy & Nolan

This adorably sweet couple married last weekend which just happened to be about the hottest weekends of the year so far, but they didn't let that bother them. They were wonderful about heading outdoors for pictures and I got to enjoy riding around with them on a trolley and shooting at a new reception location... the Scott Conference Center on UNO's campus. Here's a peek! Check out Grandma posing for me when she noticed I was trying to snap some candids of her.

This last one is of the groom during the wedding party dance...they did a "show" to Jordan Sparks and Chris Browns song "no air" It was such a fun day!

Henrietta James...

This little doll is the namesake of my husbands late grandmother and she carries it well! Henny- is 3 months old and was able to make it through this photo shoot after 9 hours in the car! With a quick stop in Omaha on their way to their new home in Colorado, Etta, her mommy and grandma gave me the honor of capturing her little sweetness....
