It was a fantastic weekend. The weather was warm and sunny, and I got to spend the entire time doing what I love! Here are a few sneak peeks…

It was such a joy to visit with this lovely Alabama family! These former Nebraskans were in town visitng for the week. Lucky for me, we were able to squeeze in a portrait session. Here is a sneak peek from our walk through Elmwood Park.

I had the pleasure of meeting this adorable family today. This session was one of the quickest ever – done in 27 minutes!! Ella and Claire were so cooperative and full of smiles.

This was my third time photographing these cuties. They were extra silly today and kept me laughing.

I met Abby two years ago as a newborn. She was absolutely adorable then, but just look at her now! She has the cutest little lips and eyes that smile at you! She is so full of personality and it really came across in her photos. Here is a little sneak peek from our session…

Remember this sweet newborn?

Just look at her now! Little Joselyn is a sassy one year old who is contantly on the move. We had a fun afternoon playing and giggling! Here’s a sneak peek from her session…

One year ago, I was called to Methodist Hospital to photograph a baby who was born still. Upon my arrival, I met the Wheat family. They introduced me to their beautiful baby girl, Peyton. My heart ached for them, and I will never forget the sorrow I felt that day. Fast forward exactly one year to the day later; I received an e-mail that this family was expecting their second daughter, due any day. Sweet baby Maya was born the very next day, exactly one year and one day after her sister. What an amazing story! I get chills every time I think of them! I am deeply honored to introduce Maya Estelle…
