Alicia + Bret: The Wedding!

/

Alicia and Bret's engagement shoot was so much fun, I've been looking forward to their wedding ever since! Today was the big day... here are a few quick faves.... :)

I often take the couple aside for a personal moment when they see each other for the first time.... sometimes, they have an audience.

I love the look on Bret's face here.

Alicia looked stunning...

The gorgeousness continues.... I'll just let you enjoy the view!

I love it!

They braved the tall grass and woods to snag this shot... I love the old skool look of it...

Seriously!? Could they be any cuter?

The sky was fabulous. It made such a lovely backdrop that I couldn't resist!

The ceremony was sweet and simple. Alicia's sisters sang several times throughout. (in three part harmony no less!) Not only are they gorgeous, but their voices are heaven sent!

On the way to the reception, we snagged a few more moments... the sky had become cloudy, and just as we were shooting, it started to drizzle. So romantic!

But not before we scored some fun ring shots... I love to incorporate the shoes!

Last but not least.... check out this old relic of a phone booth! "Hello!? Yes... we're married!"

Your day was perfect! Thank you so much for having me you two.... you and your families were so easy going... it was a pure joy to work with you all! :)

Super Stars: Emma & Ethan

/

These little babes are regulars in front of my lens... they recently made the trip over from Omaha for our most current shoot. I have literally photographed their lives for the past few years... so much fun!

Here's Emma... she's such a big girl these days!

This guy was an infant when I first came to know the family... look at him now!

I love the sheer joy on her face in this shot!


So great to see you all again! :)

Calorie Burner

/

Emir and I recently enjoyed another tandem bike ride.... I tell ya, that was one heck of a garage sale find! Originally, the plan was to work off a few calories, but we ended up biking downtown where we proceeded to order ice cream, and eventually dinner (with fries. Gasp!) So much for the calorie burner.... :)

(This photo was captured by my phone cam... a tough feat while riding and trying not to fall off!)

Brooke + Demon: A Beautiful Day!

/

Brooke and Demon scored some seriously gorgeous weather on their wedding day. After getting home tonight, I couldn't wait to share a few faves. Their ceremony was held at Sheldon Art Museum... (a new recent shooting spot!) so beautiful surroundings were in full swing!

When Demon saw Brooke... he had an explosive reaction. I love it! Isn't that smile electric?

Beautiful!

The sculpture garden is a fab place to have a wedding!

While running around downtown, I was in charge of Brooke's sunglasses, which eventually took a flying leap out of my bag, and fell to their death on the sidewalk. Doh! I insisted she take my glasses as a consolation pair. I must say, she makes them look good!

Wedding cupcakes!

Thank you so much for trusting me with the photographic memories of your day! You and your families were a treat to work with. A very merry happily-ever-after to you both!

Round Two!

/

This brave, brave family first met with me last summer on what I still believe was the hottest day in all of recorded history. They drove in from Kearney for their shoot, and were such troopers! Thankfully, this time... the weather was much more cooperative. :)

The kids have grown so much in the past year... it's amazing! Look at those curls? Can you even stand their cuteness?

All the recent rain has made for some fab photo opps....

What a little heartbreaker!

Splish splash!

The family is expecting a new baby in the house soon!

I love how she gives mom's belly a penguin kiss... that is hilarious!

Great to see you guys again! Best wishes with the soon-to-be family addition! :)
