This lil' squirt gave me a run for my money! He was pure boy, and as such, was constantly on the move. I had a blast chasing him with my camera... here are some of my favorites. :)
I LOVE this photo. It so..... real.
After Eli was thoroughly upset with me for chasing him around outside, we headed in for some bathtime fun. (He was MUCH happier about this!)
Too cute!
Let the countdown begin! These two lovebirds are tying the knot in early August.... so this love session came just in time! I'm totally diggin' this warm, yummy light. This first image would be GORGEOUS in a huge canvas... if I do say so myself!
More warm yumminess....
Jim was such a good sport... dare I say he even enjoyed our shoot?! I think so!
Love the sail boats in the background...
I love the look on his face here. He looks like such a protector. I think Kylie knows she's in good hands. :)
More warm yumminess!
Awesomeness!
So awesome you two! Can't wait for August. Not too much longer!
To celebrate Emily's recent 30th birthday, she wanted photos (naturally! who doesn't want photos for their birthday!?). I was happy to help! I arrived to find this darling bundle of joy otherwise known as, Olivia. Is she precious, or what!?
Not too sure about grass yet....
Better stay on top of mom and dad... don't get near that green stuff!
I'm in LOVE with the series of images I got of Trav swinging Olivia around through the air... this one is my fave.
I hope you had a very happy birthday Emily! Hugs to you all!
Back in February, Emir and I made a trip out west where we had the opportunity to connect with the ever fabulous Kjerstin & Joel as well as two radtastically great guys... the Bui Brothers. I wanted a way to show future (and potential future) clients what it's really like to work with me as your wedding photographer. What better way than to hear it straight from people who've been there, done that? :)
The Bui Brothers are real pros at capturing the client's side of the story. So easy to work with, and absolutely know their stuff. If you've seen their online presence, I have to tell you, they do not disappoint in person.... Thanks so much guys!
A super special thank you to Kjerstin & Joel. You two are nothing short of treasure!
PS: This whole event came about through twitter, where I first met Lan and Vu Bui. We hit it off, and eventually got to break bread in California. How cool is THAT? Two cheers for social media!
I've been dying to blog this session for EVER! I got together with Aaron and Jenn a few weeks back and we headed out for a love shoot that, unknown to all of us, would wind up at the movies! Avid movie goers, these two casually mentioned that they spend a lot of time at the theater downtown. My gut reaction? Let's go!
I fully expected to get the door shut in my face when I asked about shooting inside.... but.... it just goes to show that it pays to ask because you just never know!
How cute is this place???? Aaron and Jenn make it look even better!
I think this one is my FAVE!
When we wrapped, they told me more about how their wedding plans are coming along. They have some neat things in store for their guests - I am pumped!
Baby blue. Royal blue. Powder blue. Tiffany blue (now there's a good one!). So many different shades and tones of this hue, but nothing can quite compare to the blue sparkle of Lukas's bright blue eyes! (How cute is mom!?) :)
This family is so laid back. They know how to relax, have fun, and enjoy each other's company. Working with them was a breeze!
I think lil' Lukas is a lil' copy of his daddy-o!
Justin and Jen are two peas in a pod. Such an adorable couple! I haven't quite figured out why, but Justin totally reminds me of my brother-in-law, Roy. Too funny!
Enjoy your photos! :)
When I woke up this morning, it was pouring. I thought for sure we'd be caught in a downpour (like their loveshoot session!). But.... the sun came out, and instead of bringing rain gear... I should've brought my sunglasses! Here's Caitlin sneaking up on Nate!
Nicely done team. :) Have fun in Cancun!
Does Katie look like a starlet in this image, or what!? A glowing bride, for sure!
I love the thought and attention that goes into every bridal detail. Even putting on the dress becomes a practice of intense focus. Here, three lovely ladies assist.
The groomsmen were quite entertaining, in and of their own right.....
The reception was held at the Omaha Livestock Exchange, on the 10th floor. I'd never been there before... what a treat!
Gorgeous!
Katie's dad gave her a heart felt hug after the father-daughter dance. A great moment!
Thanks so much for inviting me to share the day with you! Safe and wonderful travels!
Rachel was my last '09 senior shoot.... and we went out with a bang!
Phonebooth + red + cute gal in darling dress = photo goodness!
Great job Rachel. Enjoy what's left of your year, and best wishes with your next grand adventure!
Neema arrived with a smile way back in October... but the weather wasn't as agreeable as he was. With winter on our heals, and the yearbook deadline fast approaching, we did a quick headshot and vowed to reschedule for spring. We were finally able to make something work and create these images. I can't wait to hear what he thinks!
I love this look of somewhat laughable surrender. Nicely done Neema! :)
Enjoy what's left of your year Neema.... and have a wonderful trip to DC... it's a great city!
