Jeremy and Jeni

Jeni and Jeremy sat next to each other every day. They laughed and enjoyed getting through the workdays together. One day they realized there was something more between them. At first it was a the office secret, but then they let the news out. They even took a trip together and thought everyone at the office would notice since they took the same vacation time. Jeremy knew he was going to propose. He had to get all the details together and involve their families. He was going to propose and then take them on a celebration trip to Las Vegas. It was wonderful and they started their engagement celebrating in Vegas. To this day they still sit next to each other talking and laughing. They have the cutest banter I’ve ever heard and we talked way too much at their session!

I can’t wait for their wedding in June. It is going to be amazing.

So sweet.

Isn’t Jeni so beautiful when she smiles?

We busted out the mustaches for this session. It was awesome! I love this series.

Jeremy’s look for the wedding.;)

They even brought a HUGE red balloon.

Aw…love.

Jeff and Karen

She left her home of Peru to study in a new land. She was excited and looking forward to what this new journey had in store for her. Little did she know, she would find love. A person who made her happy, made her laugh, and taught her more about herself.

She took a job working at a cafeteria. She noticed her manager there because he was so cute. Realistically she knew she couldn’t date her manager, and what if he didn’t notice her? Well he did notice her, not only noticed, but fell in love with her. It all began by traveling to a new land to meet a man who she will now marry. Life took them exactly where they needed to go.

Larry & Laura - Your pictures are AWESOME! You can tell how much you love each other just by looking at them :)
Best Wishes!!

Jo Ann Holmes - We loved all the pictures. They are wonderful, and we are so happy for both of you.

Adventures in Omaha

This blog hasn’t gotten enough love over the last four days. I’ve been in Omaha photographing engagement, family sessions and weddings. It’s been wonderful hanging out with clients friends and being behind the camera. I also got to second shoot with my amazing friend Lara Hanlon. I’ve already grown as a photographer in four days. Hopefully I’ll have some time to catch up and relax.

The only part I don’t like about traveling is being away from Josh and Murray. It’s weird having a whole bed to myself (I’m a bed hog so normally I’m fighting for room!). Below is a picture of Murray I took the night before I left. He loves to burrow himself in the pillows and sheets on the sofa. I just want to cuddle with him. Good thing Josh sends me tons of Murray texts.

 

 

amber - i love when you sound refreshed :)

Scarlett’s Save the Date

My clients are awesome. I say that all the time (really, I do). They are talented, funny, creative, and just all around awesome people (and I’m not just sucking up, well… maybe a little). I get their invitations in the mail and I thought I would start sharing them with you so maybe you could be awesome too!
