Photoshop Tutorials & Inspiration for Beginners
How To’s, Inspiration, and Resources for Aspiring Photographers, Designers, Content Creators, and Crafters
Jennifer and Nick's wedding is coming up next September... so in preparation for their big day, we headed out for an engagement shoot on a super glorious afternoon. These are some quick faves!
Getting to do work for people who appreciate photo art is a huge thrill. Eric has an eye for photography all his own.... so when he and Emily asked me to be their wedding photographer, I was pumped. They view photography as a critically important part of their day, so you can imagine how honored I am to know that such discerning clients chose yours truly to capture their wedding memories. :) Even better? It's coming up right around the corner in November! We managed to work in the love shoot just in time!
Eric is quite the romantic. He was so excited to propose that he popped the question before he had Emily's ring... so he made a stand-in out of purple pipe-cleaner to seal the deal in the meantime. :) How cute is *that?* (seen below)
Wow-sa! This couple is on fire. I am *so* excited for their big day coming in only a matter of weeks! See you soon guys!
I love when clients (especially cutie pies like Dani + Adam!) are up for a photo adventure! This marked the last year that the Nebraska State Fair would be held in Lincoln before moving to Grand Island.... and what better way to bid it farewell than with a love shoot? :) These are too fun!!!!
I have to say.... this was a *hard* shot to get! Ha! I was sitting behind them on the ferris wheel and not only were we both moving, but watching the world whirl by through the lens of a camera while being in constant motion is a recipe for losing your lunch... ha! It was a close call, but I love that we made it work! (Special thanks to the awesome fair peeps who were so good to us!)
Love, love love! Can't wait for your wedding next July you two. :) Thanks for choosing me as your wedding photographer!
Ok. So.... Stephanie + Lance are too fun! Where do I start? They live in Salt Lake City, UT but are having their wedding here in dear ol' Lincoln, Nebraska next summer and yours truly has the honor of being their wedding photographer. On top of being a total cutie.... Stephanie is also a blogger! You can see her witty writing and follow her wedding-planning pursuits on her blog, but know that she's so funny and clever, you might get hooked! :)
I love the look of this!
That is one pretty rock... way to go Lance. :)
Yep. Just a couple of b-e-a-uuuuu-tiful people! :)
This is my fave!
Oh wait.... maybe *this* is my favorite!
A Nebraska girl... Steph was anxious to get some shots that take advantage of all the scenic loveliness. Love these!
Yeah..... did I mention that on top of everything else and all their other coolness, Stephanie and Lance are cat people? Double bonus! :) Ha ha ha!
Can't wait to see you guys in June!
To say that Abbi + Ben's shoot was fun would be a grotesque understatement! In Abbi's own words, here is the email she sent me: "Ice cream is part of our history - We were HS sweethearts who didn't make it past first semester at UNL. However, on Valentine's day of my senior year, Ben made a phone call that reset the course of our lives. He asked if I wanted to get some ice cream. I said 'yes' and the rest is history. It was the best second first date a girl could have asked for."
How could we NOT go for some cool icy goodness? :)
I guess soft serve is really..... soft. It melted in about .2 seconds. Ha! Next time I'll know to bring wipes!
Are you sensing the mood on our shoot? :) It was laughter non-stop!
Ok.... at it again.... more old car radness. Abbi said she loved the vintage look! :)
SUPER FAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sassy!
OMG.... can't wait for your wedding day!!!!!!!! You two are a riot. Thanks for being YOU!
Are these two adorable, or what? Haifeng currently lives in Texas... and has been a regular feature at airports jetting back and forth between Texas and Lincoln. They will be together again soon, as their wedding is coming on in only about 3 weeks! (We just recently shot this love session... but so glad we could fit it in!) :) I am so excited to be part of their wedding celebration. Enjoy your images you two... and I will see you soon!
Yuyan is so funny!!!
Having met at the university, they don't call it 'love' library for nothing!
Simply gorgeous. :)
Two lovebirds + one boat = awesome photoshoot! I've never worked with a boat before, but.... with a little elbow grease (thanks to Bryan!) we successfully wrangled the boat from the back of his truck into the water.... and back again. Totally worth it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE 'em! :) Thanks for your adventurous spirit you two! Can't wait for August!
The farmer's market is a special treat here in town from May - October. When Lindsey asked me about shooting their engagement session there, I was stoked! How could I argue? A Saturday with two fab clients, at the farmer's market? Great weather and all! Sure thing. :)
Lindsey and Jacob squeezed in a little first-dance practice session.... ;) Much to the entertainment of all the passersby. I love how they could shut off the outside world and retreat into their own escape... even if only for a moment.
Jacob's family are volunteer firefighters in Kearney. Hats off to you guys! These next few are for you!
Way cool! November will be here before we know it! ;)
When your first date was on a mini-golf course, what better location to return to for your engagement shoot? :) Look at these two workin' it! (Never mind the audience of middle-school kids that surrounded us both from ahead and behind... ha ha ha! The audience was good practice for their wedding day coming up this July!)
They actually garnered a round of applause after the shot below on the left.... :) Then, we were off to the ball park.... another special spot for them.
Acacia is just such a cutie! And her name is as beautiful and unique as she is!
My obsession with old, rusty vintage cars continues.....
Way fun you two! Looking forward to your big day in July!
Kelsey and Brent are planning a fun August wedding that is shaping up to be a photographer's delight! :) We headed out to a location that I've had my eye on shooting for years. Literally.... years. Isn't that crazy!? Thanks for playing along you two! The results speak for themselves! :) Enjoy!
This is one of my faves from their session.... :)
My obsession with retro/vintage signage continues.... Kelsey was such a good sport!
D*Lish!
Can't wait to see you guys in August!
