Class of 2010: McKenzie

Is this young lady a beauty, or what? And while we're at it.... where are all these lil' darlings getting such gorgeous skin? Curious minds want to know! What's your secret gals? :) senior_pictures_lincoln_ne_02

I love this purple dress.... you wear it well McKenzie!

McKenzie, not only are you darling (and your mom Jill is a riot!), but you're also incredible patient. Thanks for understanding! Enjoy!

Diving Doggies!

My friend and under-water shooting guru Brooke Mayo has a new book available called "Diving Doggies: A Celebration of Play Underwater." Cool stuff! I've known Brooke for a few years now and love her work, especially her underwater imagery. Having attempted to shoot underwater myself, I can fully appreciate the enormous amount of set-up, effort and expense involved with capturing such playful and imaginative images (all while wearing a weight belt and trying not to get water up your nose-- Ha!). Impressive to say the least!

Kerrie + Crew

I am sooooo in love with these pics! This is the darling family of my friend Kerrie. After much scheduling mania, I finally caught up with them for a late afternoon shoot. It was fun to watch her hold her own in a house of three boys! This is my favorite shot of Preston...

Little Drew looks just like Kerrie! I love seeing how genetics plays out... those blue eyes are simply beautiful, just like his mama's!

He's a toddler! I love this progression of his movement.... sit still? Who are you kidding?!

Class of 2010: Alexis

You've been served! Look at that form... rock on Alexis! Great to see you again! 007

I was so giddy over the colors in this shot... I think Alexis must've thought I had a screw loose... ha ha! (Her fab green shirt was the icing in the cake!)

Class of 2010: Makayla

The seniors on parade continues! :) I've had the good fortune to have Miss Makayla in front of my lens on two separate occasions before this one.... so she was no stranger to the way things work around here. I think it shows! Nice job Missy! 022026

Are you really surprised? My love affair with funky old trucks runs deep! Ha ha ha!

Re-ow!

041I love 'em! :) Rock on girlfriend.

Class of 2010: Chris

Chris was such a blast to work with! We bonded over discussions of politics, the Hershey's Kissmobile, and life in general. I love knowing that there's young peeps out there like Chris.... there's sunshine on the horizon! This first image is perhaps my super fave.... I can't decide! :) senior-photo-artist-02senior-photo-artist-03

As you can tell... we laughed a *lot* on his shoot!
