The “Y” family…so glad we got together this morning! The lighting was beautiful, the kiddos were happy and the family just looked great! Who could ask for more? Special thanks to mom and dad for their extraordinary efforts to get these gorgeous smiles – well worth it!!

The “Z” family…By far one of the happiest little girls I have ever met.  She smiled the entire time!

The “V” family…I had a lot of fun with this sweet family. Dad had a few funny tricks up his sleeve to get the kiddos laughing!

Let me just say that it should not be hot and muggy at 10 o’clock in the morning!  You’d never know it by looking at the photos though!  The “H” family graciously followed me all over Elmwood. The boys were great and gave me lots of wonderful smiles. Here is a sneak peek…

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…

Such a handsome young man with great taste in music and a wonderful sense of humor! Dakota and I walked through downtown Omaha scouting out the perfect spots for photos, then headed out to a grassy, spider infested, field to round out his session. Here’s a little sneak peek…

I had alot of fun meeting up with everyone for the mini sessions in the country! It was a beautiful day filled with wonderful families and great kiddos! Here’s a little sneak peek from the day…

The “L” family…

The “M” Family…

The “J” Family…

The “H” Family…

I met up with two little ones for their one year photos. There must be something in the air today because both little ones were absolutely wonderful! All smiles and giggles.

Here is little Riland…

Here is Miss Lilly…

I had the pleasure of photographing fellow photographers Kelley Rhyden & Tracy Raver along with their mom, siblings and kiddos. Quite the fun group! Can you believe these were taken in Kelley’s back yard? It was the perfect spot!

This little sweetheart was so funny! For such a tiny little thing, she managed to have three adults looking like silly monkeys, singing, laughing and talking in funny voices. …but, it was worth it! Just look at that sweet smile!
