There is nothing sweeter than a little 2 year old boy with white blonde hair and CURLS!
I have been photographing this family from the very beginning and that is one reason why I just adore my job.

Austin and Selena were married at the Mary Jo Arboretum in Sioux Falls, SD with the reception following at Celebrate church in Brandon, SD.
This was a unique wedding for me in so many ways! The bride has a Hispanic heritage, but wasn't able to have a Quinceañera, so her dad put on her wedding shoes at their first look. It was such a sweet moment that I was so happy to be a part of!!!

This is my brother and his ADORABLE family. That's right, these two chunky boys are my nephews. There is not many things cuter than young brotherly love.
We JUST beat the rain as we were wrapping up our session! It was a fun and crazy time making little Brody smile but I absolutely loved being that crazy Aunt singing and dancing to make him giggle. So glad this family is my family.

Photographing weddings is my passion, and couples like Andrew and Laura remind me of why I love it so much! These two were an absolute joy to work with and such a great reminder of what true love looks like.
From the adorable first look at the place where Andrew proposed, to lying in front of the tulips, they couldn't take their eyes off each other or stop grinning from ear to ear.

Brian and Shannon were clearly made for each other. Even before he started to cry during their first look, it was apparent that the love they share is something special. I absolutely love shooting weddings, and what makes it even more special is when I can tell the bride and groom genuinely cannot wait to be husband and wife. They are high school sweethearts and have been dating 5 years!
I had the pleasure of taking Emily & Kyle's engagement photos in Lincoln Nebraska at UNL and the Sunken Gardens! Both gorgeous places!! We were blessed with beautiful weather and not a snow flake in sight... :)

Can somebody please just stop this cuteness. Violet is such a stinker. She loved giving me quick little smiles and then talked and talked and TALKED! Looks like she definitely found her voice. Loved meeting this little girly! It's especially neat since I got to photograph her mommy and daddys wedding a couple years back. Happy 6 months Violet!

Hey all! I am sharing some of my new 'in-home' lifestyle photos taken by my best friend Jenny Marie Photography. She has a love for in-home shoots and I couldn't pass up the opportunity of having her take these! She even was sweet enough to let me edit some of them myself for my blog!
Aria & Vada are what make my home complete. Aria is my 2 and a half year old daughter who is known for her BIG personality! She is hilarious and tender hearted. Vada is a feisty little kitty that I got Aria as a Christmas gift. You know, the gift that keeps on giving. J These two are still learning how to ‘play’ together and not going to lie, some days are more exhausting than others, but I LOVE it so much!
