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.

Miss Sarah — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:01:37 +0000

The what 2 wear segment on the blog was HUGE last fall…and I’ve gotten some requests for what to wear ideas, so I’ve been scouting lots of different sites and compiling a post….and finding it really hard not to buy all this cute stuff for my own kiddos. I’m pleading the 5th! heeheehee Hopefully this gives you some ideas…or at least a starting point to jump off from. As usual, I am always here to help you with clothing for your session, so just shoot me an email if you’d like some ideas for your session.

Some ideas for toddler girls…all from The GAP.

And for toddler boys…layering clothes and graphic t-shirts are still great stylish choices…styles below also from The GAP.

For grade school girls…from The GAP.

For the older boys…first outfit from Old Navy, second outfit from The GAP…

And a few more from the girls….the first dress/jeans is from Tea…and the second two are from Janie & Jack.

Happy Shopping to you all!

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!!

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?!?!

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…

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.

…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…

noah turns O-N-E! | Lincoln Nebraska Child photographer

Miss Sarah — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:03:22 +0000

I have been truly blessed to work with this family. They are all truly BEAUTIFUL and super sweet to boot. I’m proud to have them not only as clients, but also as FRIENDS! I first photographed this little man while he was still in mom’s tummy and then was honored to photograph his birth (click here to see his birth slideshow)….and a few more times since then, so it would only be fitting that we get together and celebrate him turning O-N-E!

His mom warned me that he was ALL boy and a little busy body, and she was right! One is such a great age as they are so full of wonder and determination…totally fearless….so innocent…and just plain cute.

I have a whole series of images where he kept looking in this hole. It was so funny and I couldn’t stop giggling. I bet he was obsessed with this whole for at least 10-15 minutes. He was determined to find something in the hole. Mom said he has a toy where the ball comes out of the hole so he was probably looking for that, but it was just too cute.

I LOVE these little guys….I mean, how absolutely PRECIOUS! You might remember them from their newborn session and we recently got together for the second session of their Bebe Plan. I can’t believe they are already 6 months. Time always seems to go by so quick and they change so much. It is so fun to see them transform from peaceful sleeping newborns to bright-eyed little personalities.

Remember when:
And now. Too cute!
Robert was all about hamming it up for the camera! =)

Hehehee…I love this one of the two of them together. Happy boys!

I’ve been such a bad blogger lately…been busy, so I’ve got some catching up to do!

First up is this adorable family that is always such a pleasure to work with! As you can see, baby number 2 (a boy!) will be arriving soon…and lucky for mom, just before the heat of summer comes around. Good timing guys! The weather was beautiful the day of our session…just perfect…and the colors are glorious this time of year. Oh how I love to be able to be outside again!!

Big sis was so sweet with mom’s belly…

…giving the baby a little tickle.

…and some loves.

These adorable sun glasses were her bribe reward for taking “just a few more” photos. =) When mom finally took them out of the bag and surprised her, she looked at us like, “WHAT? This is it?” Too funny. I love 2 year olds, especially cute spunky ones.
