First week in November...

This past week, the weather was BEAUTIFUL!  I could not have been happier with how nice it was and just wish I would have cherished it more before the cold weather sets in...not to mention daylight savings affecting my afternoon shoots. 
The first family I photographed last week was done right near their home on the walking and bike trail that runs through their neighborhood...Victoria and her beautiful family met me and we were able to take advantage of the late afternoon sun...

Next I photographed the gorgeous children of a dear, sweet friend of mine.  Look at those eyes...{LOVE}

Gwen's 1st Birthday pictures were next!  I don't think I can say enough how fast time flies and how much I enjoy watching these little ones grow up...it's one of my favorites parts of my job.  She's so stylish too....

My last family session this past week was for a new family who I had the pleasure of meeting at the park.  They were the winners of a silent auction to raise money for their elementary school.  It was quite the windy afternoon but we were able to get some beautiful images...

Thank you for allowing me to capture your beautiful family.  You make me love doing what I do!

Avery & Aubrey {brand new}

I photographed these little girls parents wedding a few years ago and Sunday, I got to photograph their new family!  These sweet little things were just 8 days old and SOOO sleepy! 

Saturday, October 30th- Families

Last Saturday I had a full day of family shoots for the holidays and I had so much fun with each family, loving their clothing choices and the beautiful weather...though it started off chilly, it ended up perfect outside!  My day started out with Aubrey and her family...she wasn't a big fan of the cold morning, but she is such a doll..here's a few images from our shoot-

Next I had Bronson's one-year shoot along with some family shots for the holidays.  This little man is a member of my Sweetness collection and as always, it so fun to see them change from shoot to shoot.  Bronson is walking now and was such a cutie pie with those little curls and bashful smile..{love}

My next shoot was with a new family who saw my work at an elementary school auction and they were the sweetest family.  You could tell they were just happy to be together.  They hadn't done family pictures in a while so it was a fun and different place to document their family.  Oh, and I LOVED miss Elizabeth's adorable dimples-

And finally was the Albers family who met me out at Elkhorn for their first family shoot with me.  I had so much fun with them...the little ones were super silly and made me laugh the whole time!  It was such a beautiful afternoon...

Thanks to all the family's who made it such a fun day!!!



{Sam & Charlie}

We met at Elmwood park last Friday for their annual photo shoot.  It's so fun to watch my kiddos grow...I first did Sam's pictures when he was one!  His lil brother Charlie was a busy little man and Sam has gotten so grown up.  We ended the shoot in a fun pile of leaves someone made....

Tim & Rachel

These two celebrated at the Joslyn Castle with close family and friends their wedding which took place the week earlier in Las Vegas.  What a fun group of people...and the toasts were so heartfelt and made me tear up!  We were able to take advantage of the evening sun and it was spectacular outside the castle...

And the Vegas crew!

Nadia & James

This cute couple is planning a spring wedding in Omaha next year and we met this past week at Creighton where their love story began.  It was a beautiful fall morning on the campus and I really enjoyed getting to know them.  I'm so much more excited for their wedding day, it's going to be so much fun!  Here's a peek from our shoot...
