Recently, I took the afternoon off my day job and spent it photographing (and doing a bit of Christmas shopping!). The afternoon kicked off with a session with two very friendly and imposing horses - Dutch and Bill. These fellows belong to my boss and the photography project is a Christmas present to my boss from all of his managers - it's supposed to be surprise so keep it a secret for a couple of weeks. The second session was with the lovely Kimberly Daniels - the newly crowned 2012 Mrs. Nebraska. She is not only stunning on the outside, she is sweet and generous! The last session was with Kerry Sullivan, newly published children's book author of Lucy, The Puppy Pirate! Not only did I have the pleasure to photograph Kerry and her beloved, Lucy the Boston terrier, but I also photographed her other two pups, Roxy the French Bulldog and the 6-month old puppy, Lola! What a delightful trio of dogs - it took 5 people to corral them! Please enjoy a few images from my afternoon!
Recently, I photographed my cousin's son, Mark. He is graduating this spring, but it seemed not that long ago that he was born! Mark loves his farming background and knows the importance of family. Some of the session was held at his uncle's place as well as his grandparents' farm. Mark was photographed with his grandfather's bulldozer while wearing his late grandfather's shirt. Even his sister Julia joined in the session for a few photos! Not only is Mark active in the local chapter of the FFA, he is a fine singer and is part of the high school's group called Expressions. I always feel so honored when family asks that I photograph a wedding, a new baby (Mark is an uncle to triplets that were born in October!), or a high school senior. My hope is that I am able to give them images that have special meaning - as I hope I have done for my cousin! Please enjoy a few images from Mark's Senior Photo Shoot!
I had the delightful pleasure of photographing Bella - a soon-to-be 6-month old little angel. Bella is the daughter of Elizabeth and TJ - a couple whom I photographed their wedding a few years ago and their recent maternity photos. Elizabeth is the daughter of my pastor and have enjoyed witnessing some important events in her family over the years! Today was the documenting of Bella at 6 months. Bella is so wonderful to photograph with her enchanting blue eyes and sweet grin. She was a pleasure to photograph and to cap the photo session off, a joyful image of mother and daughter that I couldn't help but share - enjoy!!!!!
Lorie and Ben were married in early October in Mexico. They traveled back to Omaha and celebrated with family and friends at their reception at the DC Centre. The couple graciously spent time with me and their wedding party before their reception for an outdoor session to create informal and fun portraits! They brought a little bit of Mexico to Nebraska with touches of the beach all around.

Lindsey and Bob were married in Omaha at First Unitarian Church and celebrated their reception at 1316 Jones Street in the Old Market. Lindsey was radiant in her distinctive wedding gown complete with animal print shoes (LOVED THEM!) and her groom, Bob was smitten by his new bride. The wedding celebration moved to the funky warehouse 1316 Jones elegantly appointed with the soft glow of candles and paper lanterns.
