How To’s, Inspiration, and Resources for Aspiring Photographers, Designers, Content Creators, and Crafters
Ashley and Jason brought their two furry & four-legged kiddos to their recent love shoot. I was astonished by their incredible behavior! :) People often like to bring their pets, which I'm always game for, though I can never be sure quite what to expect. These two pups were quite the charmers, to say the least!
I was tickled pink when Katie Becker contacted me abut speaking/presenting a breakout session at Ad Camp (via the American Advertising Federation - Lincoln) last Wednesday. It's always fun to get together with other creatives to talk about anything and everything, so naturally I was game. My presentation was called, "You Tweeted What!? Self-Branding + Social Media (and how not to suck at it!)." Emir came along to snap some photos, later revealing my dramatic antics. Too funny!
And now, for the full melodramatic reenactment.... (my favorite is what appears to be an operatic aria in the top right corner... ha!) As you can see... the energy level was not exactly lacking... ;)
Thanks so much for thinking of me Katie (and the rest of the crew at AAF-Lincoln!). And big thanks to the students for your enthusiasm and wonderful questions! :)
It all started with oatmeal scotchies. And today, it continued with cupcakes as Jacob and Lindsey tied the knot surrounded by family and friends from across the country (literally, Seattle to the Carolinas!). Honored to be their wedding photographer, I'm happy to share some of what caught my eye when I got home. I am **lovin'** Lindsey's green shoes!
Lindsey's mom Jean made her dress. Talk about a personal touch! It was gorgeous.... outdone only by Lindsey herself. Incredible job Jean!
A walk on the wild side...
While the girls continued getting ready, Lindsey sent this gift to Jacob via messenger.... :)
Nebraska played KU today (and managed to win 31-17!) while the guys tuned in for an update....
Lindsey's gorgeous bouquet was from PetalCreations.
The reception was held in the Jasmine Room at the Grand Manse in downtown Lincoln. I've photographed weddings at the Grand Manse before, but never in the Jasmine Room... so pretty!
Congrats you two! Thanks so much for including me in your celebration-- I'm honored to have been part of it! Have a wonderful time in Puerto Rico!
I **love** the look on this cute little face!
Got 'cha Hudson! Soon, he forgot about the shutter clicking away and shared that beautiful smile with me!
This shot was taken in a 'secret passageway' from one yard into the park.... when I was a kid, I **loved** magical passageways like this! My sister and I lived out all kinds of make-believe melodramas in our backyard in similar locations.... too fun!
Hudson **loved** going down the slide! Still very young, he speaks remarkably well... often referring to himself in third person. Each time he climbed the steps and prepared to launch himself down the slide, he would shout, "Here comes Hudson!"
A trip to the park is rarely complete without a good 'bonk' on something, somewhere..... Here, Hudson gets some TLC from mom. The tear on his cheek was picture perfect!
I think this is my favorite image.... the look on his face, the fact that he's holding a giraffe puppet..... the clean lines of the grass/fence... I just love it! :)
"Here comes Hudson!"
Too fun! Thanks for your trust and cooperation Hudson! I hope these make you laugh (and smile) in 20 years..... you are cute as can be!
On a glorious Sunday afternoon last week, I managed to squeeze in time for some portraits of my own family..... including Emir and his brother Adis. I haven't had a chance to look through all the photos yet, but these caught my eye and I couldn't help but share (especially for family overseas!) Aren't they adorable?
This cute fam made the trip from out of town for our session.... thanks for coming guys! I hope dad is surprised with how great you did! :) Enjoy!
Remember this little stinker? I certainly do! Ha ha! I caught up with Julie and crew for a reunion after last year's shoot... and had even more fun that we did before. Great to see you all again!
Look at this cute lil' bundle! I had the privilege of traveling to Omaha to capture this darling and her doting parents. What fun!
Faith contacted me some time ago about setting up a shoot with her family. We managed to get it in just before the weather/leaves took a turn for towards winter!
