Remembering "Home"

/

This is Emily. Her parents recently bought a new house... and the whole family is moving! Emily and her two sisters are pretty excited though... the new house has a POOL! (Complete with.... you guessed it... a WATER SLIDE. This is pretty much my childhood dream......)

To celebrate, we did one last shoot at the old house before they pack up and head to their new one. Very exciting!

Caroline had to get in on the chalk action too...

Emily shows me her swimming skills...

Baby sis plays in the grass for the first time!

Uh.... It wasn't a huge hit. Maybe next time? :)

So fun to see you all again... best wishes on the move. Maybe our next shoot can be underwater?!

Twice the Fun!

I have wanted a tandem bike for.... ever. For as long as I can remember. Since the Double Mint commercials, since I saw one at the Walton Trail Co. (remember that place?), since... well... you get the idea. Plus, how cool would it be for photo shoots? (Engaged couples... that means YOU!)

A few months ago I bought one online, but it arrived damaged and so I sent it back. :(

BUT! This past weekend while on my way to shoot a wedding, I passed a garage sale with a tandem treasure! With no time to stop, I frantically dialed my mom (garage sale maven and bargaining queen!) and begged her to drop whatever she was doing and get the bike (my bike).

She was happy to help (she IS the best....). Too big to fit in my truck, my dad delivered it this morning. I am in heaven!

I love the retro font... complete with little 'stars.' Cute! This baby is the real deal... I love it!

Carol & Crew

Carol has been a long time student/friend of mine.... and recently rounded up her husband, their kids, and even the grandchildren for a family photoshoot. Here she is with her hubby... and some of my favorite pics of the grand kids...

Great to meet the rest of the crew Carol! You guys were a hoot!

Derek & Lindsey : Fabulous!

The next chapter of Derek & Lindsey's lives together started today! Their family and friends were a blast to work with... and we laughed a LOT. :) You guys rocked it!

Here's a quickie sneak peek!

Look at those eyes!

Lindsey & Derek both work for NU Athletics... so naturally, a trip to the stadium was in order. I LOVE this shot!


Here's Lindsey workin' the wind!






How cute are their place holders?

This is Lindsey's dad... isn't he adorable? Yes, I will admit... I cried during his toast. I'm such a sucker for the fathers! What can I say? I'm a total daddy's girl myself. : )

Gorgeous!

Lindsey makes the chicken dance look good!


You were incredible to work with! Congratulations to you all!

Michelle + Jared : Simply Gorgeous!

Michelle & Jared were married just today.... I am in LOVE with the results! Special thanks to everyone for indulging my creative whim(s)! (Seriously.... I love when clients are so trusting!)

Here are just a *few* of my favorites. (BTW: They were married at Grace Chapel in Lincoln.... what a fantastic place! Highly recommended!)


Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me be part of your day. May your days be filled with love and happiness!

Mother's Day

I actually got away from my computer (first time in longer than I can remember!) and managed to visit not only both Emir & I's mothers, but also both of my grandmothers -a great day!

This is the daisy we brought to Emir's mom. I loved how it looked in the window light of their dining room. Beautiful!

Much love to you all!
