I’m back | Lincoln Nebraska Family Photographer

Miss Sarah — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:21:58 +0000

We’re officially back from vacation! For the past 9 days we have enjoyed friends, family, and lots of fishing up in Minnesota. Most of you know I grew up there, and pretty much all of my family is still there. It was nice to get away and spend some time relaxing. We spent a couple days at my parents house, then the remainder of the time up at my grandpa’s lake home where I spent many weekends as a kid with my grandparents. I have such fond memories of going to the lake every summer, it was nice to be able to take my girls and share that experience with them, the only thing that could have made it better was if my grandparents were still around to be able to be there with us. My girls really enjoyed the scenic boat rides, going tubing for the first time, having campfires and ’smores, and fishing from the dock (they even learned to bait their own hook…worms and all!).

I had hoped to do a little work while up there…I thought for sure I’d be able to snag someone’s wireless internet or hit up one of the small town coffee shops for some free wi-fi, but wouldn’t you know it, there was none to be found. My husband and I had a good chuckle as we were driving verrrrry slowly around the lake trying to pick up someone’s signal. No dice. LOL The next day we headed into town, I thought for sure I could hit up the library or the coffee shop…NOTHING! I thought it was crazy, but my husband reminded me that I shouldn’t be “working” on vacation anyway. So, I apologize to those who emailed and got no response for several days. I will be returning all calls and emails in the next couple days.

Before I left for vacation, I had the pleasure of photographing this next lovely family who happen to also be good friends.

The gorgeous Miss Samantha came to see me last week for the second session of her Bebe Plan. It is always so much fun to see my little clients after 6 months because they are so filled wonder and delight at this age, and Samantha was no exception. She was such a happy little bug…I don’t think she stopped smiling but just for a few seconds at a time. And those big brown eyes….who could resist them? So gorgeous.

Miss Samantha as a newborn…

Miss Samantha now! And yes, in case you are wondering…she is a sibling to this beauty, and has another sister who will be coming in for her session in a few weeks.

I recently met up with these 2 little cousins. They were so adorable and fun!

Layla’s mom owns the Divas & Darlings boutique (27th & Pine Lake) here in Lincoln. She has lots of great stuff in the store including designer baby/kids clothes, specialty baby items, and maternity clothing. If you have a session coming up, or just need something super cute, head on over and check it out!!

I have been photographing this little man’s big sister for awhile now. I was just tickled to meet the newest addition to their family….Cruz. He is just as handsome as can be, and was the perfect little model for his first photo session. I don’t think we heard a peep from him the entire time. I am always most appreciative to be able to share in these very special moments with my clients. Enjoy some images from Cruz’s newborn session.

Miss Channing recently came to visit me for the second session of her Bebe Plan. When her mom called to schedule her session, I just could not believe that she was already 7 months. She’s such a petite little beauty with the most mesmerizing ice blue eyes. SO pretty! I hope dad has a stick handy to beat all those boys off, I know he’ll be needing it.

One from her newborn session:

And now….

One of my very favorite little ladies recently came to see me. She just makes my heart smile. She is always so happy and full of life…often times in her own little magical world. It is truly an honor to be able to capture something so special. A truly beautiful child.

I loved these two images together!

I mean how can this NOT make you smile?!?!

celebrating essie! | Celebrating Adoption | Lincoln Nebraska Baby Photographer

Miss Sarah — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:24:22 +0000

It was such a pleasure to meet this next couple! The day after our session, Miss Essie was “officially” theirs….FOREVER and ever! Upon meeting them, I could immediately tell how head over heels in love they were….totally and entirely smitten with her. I ask all my clients to fill out a brief questionnaire, I was touched by one of their answers….mom commented that they (mom & dad) probably kissed her 1200 times a day and that they could kiss her cheeks all day long! Totally warmed my heart…and I agree….Miss Essie definitely has cheeks worthy of kissing all day long.

Seth & Colleen…CONGRATS on becoming a family! It was so SO great to meet you and your beautiful baby girl!! She’s absolute perfection.

Another super fun family! This little guy was a such a cutie…and definitely had his own agenda for the photo session…and it didn’t include stopping to have photos taken. *hehehehe* He was a busy little body!!

A few of my faves…

Miss Sarah — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:29:47 +0000

You might remember this familiar face as I have been photographing Miss K since she was just itty bitty. We had such a fun time playing and singing and laughing at her session…I think this has been her best one yet. Mom and Dad hopped in for a few photos too, and I just love the images we captured. Something to treasure for sure.

Sharing a bunch because I couldn’t just pick a few…

This one makes me smile.

Something I love LOVE about this one too…

The lovely ladies.

bad to the bone | lincoln nebraska newborn photographer

Miss Sarah — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:00:56 +0000

You might remember this belly…well little Alexander arrived just a wee bit ahead of schedule and we were able to get together for his session last week. When they arrived at the studio he was wide awake, ready for his close-up. We grabbed a few awake shots, had a little snack, did a little forehead rubbing, and a lot of cuddling, and he finally slept pretty good for us. Isn’t he just adorable?!

Meet Alexander…10 days old.

I just adore this one!

third time’s a charm | Lincoln Nebraska child photographer

Miss Sarah — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 22:59:13 +0000

…or fourth….or fifth…or…or…! We had to reschedule our session so many times due to the unpredictable Nebraska weather; I was so glad we were finally able to meet up. A HUGE “Thank You” to them for being so flexible, understanding, and willing to work around our weather issues. The waiting was worth it and it ended up being a beautiful day, and these boys are 2 of the sweetest I’ve worked with, so happy and full of personality. Here are a few of my faves from their session.

P.S. A big THANKS to Melissa for her referral. This family recently relocated from Kansas and Melissa was so kind to refer them to me. Thanks girl!

I super love this one!

A lot of families request this shot…and I never tire of shooting it. I love how each family fits together differently.

IN OTHER NEWS…

Another exciting announcement….if you’re a Facebook Fan you may have already seen….but I haven’t blogged it here yet…a couple weeks ago I designed an iPhone/iPad/iPod/Droid/Blackberry friendly website. I think it’s pretty cool, if I do say so myself! I actually don’t own an iPhone, but my iPad – WOOT! WOOT! – arrived in the mail last week and I’m lovin’ it (welll….when I can wrestle it away from my kids and husband)!!! Many websites are Flash based websites which are not viewable via iPhones, etc., so with a lot of people browsing via mobile devices I thought it would be fun to have something for them as well. For touch devices, you are able to scroll through the site by swiping the screen (which is SA-WEET!) and view slideshow galleries that look like Flash, but they’re not.

Sooooo if you have one of the devices listed above, you’ll have to check it out. Go to the website as you normally would, choose “view site”, and it should automatically recognize your browsing device and route you to the new site! If you don’t have one of the devices above, next time you’re in the Apple store, test out the new iPad and visit the site…or steal your friend’s iPhone to take a peek.

Here’s a little preview…
