Hello Everyone!

I love: My 5 nieces, my 2 nephews, the smiles and giggles I get from my 3 month old nephew, my mom & dad, my brother and sisters, my best friends, the smell of a campfire, my moms perfume, standing in the sand, coffee in the morning, my new kitty, my comfy bed, the feeling I have after a good workout, Ruth Chris Steaks (nough said), Football saturdays in my hometown of Lincoln, naps, blogging new photos, my gorgeous fiance who inspires me every day, the smell of his cologne, laughing super hard it hurts, making people laugh, (believe it or not, I wanted to be a comedian for some time). I dislike: arrogance, warm lettuce (i know, its weird), icy roads, not having my sunglasses, cold water in my shower, spiders, feeling stressed, dishonesty, rainy days when I have session in the books. Some of my favorites are...the movie, Uncle Buck (anything with John Candy), peanut m&m's, movie theatre previews, Marc Cohn's music, looking at my fellow photographers blogs, my moms chicken salad, birthday week!, sunsets, the movie, Juno. As far as my tv addiction? I love the show Friends...I got to actually go to the set and was in heaven (one of my great friends used to work there), I love all things CSI, but hate it when I've seen that episode...its not as fun when you know "who did it!", Project Runway is one of my faves!, Lipstick Jungle, The Office (I have a crush on Jim), 30 Rock (I think Alec Baldwin is hilariuos!), Desperate Housewives just for the drama, The Closer, and I'm sure there are more. Now, the question is...do I actually get to watch these shows? The answer unfortunately is No, but I do edit while catching up!

So, now you know a little more about moi! Have fun looking at my recent work and some blogs about absolutely nothing...but something to me. I am so thankful I get to do this for a living, its amazing! Also, comments Rock my world, so make sure you let me know who you are...don't be a stranger! Ciao!

Shelley & Jeff…

November 21, 2008 – 9:24 am

Ok, how funny, I am seriously on a roll with my high school friends!  I have known these 2 since Jr. High as well!  I think this may be the last of the high school friends for a while, but you never know.  Shelley and Jeff are going to welcome a baby boy in February!  I am so excited to meet their new little one.  We decided to do a “just because” shoot and also bring in their dog too.  This day was so incredibly windy, but we hurried and ran around and got some great shots!  Thanks guys, here are just a few of my faves!

this one is my fave of the two of them.

but, I love this one too.

Sweet…

So cute

Mia and Zoey…

November 20, 2008 – 9:34 pm

Oh, I how I love these little girls!  Again, this is another good high school friend.  In fact, Jon and I have been friends since Jr. High!  Crazy!  The girls are so much fun, and seeing Mia getting so big just enforces the fact that time totally does fly!  And, they are going to welcome a new little one in the spring!  I can’t wait!  He or She will be just as gorgeous as these two.  Thanks so much Kayti also for running me to Rockbrook (oops, I went to Omaha without my folder of memory cards!)  I think that is expected since I’ve had “the engagement” on the brain!  Too funny!  Anyways, thanks so much and even though it was pretty darn cold and Mia was totally over it by the end, this is just a taste of what’s to come!  So sweet…

just doing a little turn for ya

I love this one!  She was just almost done with me, but this is priceless.

the Kollmorgen fam…

November 20, 2008 – 7:05 pm

Ok, so I adore this family!  Not only because I’ve known Kyle since the days of high school and him and his buddies used to toss my friend, Kate and I into the pool…with our clothes on, but because I have gotten to know him as a dad and wife, and he is amazing at both!  It is so great to see my friends from over years and where they are now and also see their awesome kids!  Kristy is such a great person too, I have had so much fun getting to know you guys all over again!  Here are some pics from our time at the park!  Enjoy!

i love love love this one!

Could this one be sweeter!  I love how Peyton is the only one looking at me.

And of course, the cute couple!  I seriously love this pic!

Sam & Cole…

November 19, 2008 – 6:02 pm

I had an awesome time photographing these 2 guys!  It has been 5 years, since Cole was born!  And, they have grown into 2 of the kindest, sweetest young dudes I know!  I mean, they literally didn’t complain one bit!  Only a little squirm when I asked them to “scootch closer”…  =)   The sun wasn’t the brightest at that time, but we got some awesome shots and they have a way cool backyard/patio!  Thanks Castners!  More coming very soon!

Sydnye & Beckett…

November 18, 2008 – 6:43 pm

Melt my heart!  So, my very great friend has these adorable and gorgeous kids!  I am so lucky because I get to call Sydnye my goddaughter.  She is seriously the sweetest girl…I have loved watching her grow up over the years and I can’t tell you how much I adore her!  Beckett is almost 2, and another tie to my heart is that he not only stole it, but there is something with the name Beckett!  I am lucky to have 2 Beckett’s to love…one being my nephew, the other being this adorable little man!  He and I have a great friendship starting and I know it will continue through the years!  Oh and one more thing!  I can’t wait until they welcome another new little one in February!  Yay!  Oh, the places we go Miss Erin!  I love you dearly and I can’t wait for you to be a part of my most important day!  =)   Ok, on with the show…… love you guys!

Sam & Lola…

November 17, 2008 – 10:37 pm

I was so excited to go see this family!  It had been close to 4 years I think since the last time…maybe not that long, but last time, there was just Sam!  And, now little Lola is here!  I took Sam’s first session when he was a baby, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget one of his photos….he had these eyes even as a baby! We had a really good day and they were the first of my 4 sessions that day, so I started it out right!  I absolutely love these 2 little ones and I can’t wait to see how they continue to grow!  Thanks Sam and Angela!  It was so great catching up with you guys….and seriously…..you have a GORGEOUS family!!!!  I’ll get the rest done this week!

I mean…seriously!  This shot is one of my faves!

How sweet is she!

And here’s the little “kung fu panda” himself!  I love this little guy!  How cool is his hair!

Gorgeous!  And thats just them walking AWAY from me!  =)

Skateboarders!

November 17, 2008 – 12:49 pm

I had so much fun with the Collins boys on saturday!  It was pretty chilly, but we all toughed it out and got some great shots!  The oldest is really big into skateboarding and is even competes!  I think that is awesome…I remember growing up and my brother and all of his friends would make ramps and all sorts of things in the driveway for their skateboards.  I was always jealous, b/c I wanted to do it, but I couldn’t seem to find the right balance!  Anyways, it has been 5 years since I have done photos of these boys, and there eyes are just amazing…see for yourself!  Thanks Collins family!  So great catching up with you guys!!!   Here is a quick peek at a few!  Enjoy!

Ok, so our plan was to meet at 4, do some fun photos and the weather would totally cooperate!  Um, we had a major scare!  I get to the location….its POURING rain outside and as I’m texting Jessica that we may be out of luck and have to reschedule, this bright spot shines in my window…..it was the sun!  Oh, how I love that sunshine!  In a matter of minutes, the rain stopped and there was even a rainbow in the sky….it was awesome!  Anyways, Jessica, Jamie and Andrew made it and we did some awesome photos!  I haven’t taken pics of these guys in a good 4 or 5 years so I had a blast with them!  Here are some pics for you guys to check out until the finals are finished!  Thanks again and it was great to see you too, Teri!  Thanks for being my “assistant”  =)

This one is my favorite!  I love the all brick!!!
