I met Alyssa and Kile and their adorable baby, Rosa this week. Occasionally through my business I get special assignments and I meet a new client at a moment that they are fighting for their life. While these are always harder, it is one of the greatest privileges I have in business. Our culture is programed to value the highlight reel - the "shiny" things. Our lives are presented in short little clips with perfectly matched...

I love that I am currently on the "Tender Mercies" business model. The Lord has brought just the right amount of business to me, and I am so grateful. I have had the most beautiful and special clients this year!Jocelyn is not only a client, but a beautiful friend. She has walked beside me in grief, and I have watched as through her grief she has turned to worship over and over again to heal...
A Beautiful Life
10:03 PM / BY Julie
Sometimes it is difficult to see the beauty in our every day moments. We partner with our spouse in the business of raising our family - getting everyone to their activities, paying bills, making dinner, cleaning, work, and all the other demands on our time and energy. There are so many good and beautiful moments, but to us it just feels like routine, or, in some moments, the chaos of no routine! One of the beautiful...
Mr + Mrs Currie

The primary element of my job of a photographer is to capture life: life, just as we live it with the highs and the lows. Many times there is an element of both/and that comes hand in hand. Both joy and sorrow. Grief and celebration. Past and present. It was my great joy to capture this moment in Jason and Heather's new life together. In a very unique way, I have had the experience of photographing Heather's family for...

I don't think I will ever get over the gift it is to share in the beautiful moment that a family is established. Saturday we shared in Ethan + Amy's joy as they tied the knot. Here is a little sneak peek for you! ...
Lucas - Class of 2024

When I met Lucas I loved his passion for cities. Anyone who has known me for more than 2 minutes knows I love traveling and the adventure of discovering new places. Lucas loves the city, so I got to show him a few of my favorite places in Omaha and we took a few pictures along the way. Lucas, while you are waiting for your big adventure to New York City, I hope you take lots...
Mr & Mrs Boysen

We have entered into a new stage of life. A stage that I sometimes refer to as "old." You know you are approaching this age when you start saying things like "I remember the day you were born" to people you still think of as young on the day they are getting married and beginning their own family. I may or may not have said that on this beautiful day. Trevin and Hailey had...

As I woke up and got ready for the special photo shoot these words were going through my head:"All my life You have been faithfulAll my life You have been so, so good.With every breath that I am ableI will sing of the Goodness of God"My business has had some special assignments lately. All that we have been through the past few years has prepared me in a different way to face moments of...
A Perfect Gift - the 'S' Family

The older I get, the more and more I realize that the best gifts in life are the people around us, our memories, and experiences with the ones we love.

Shanna and Hodge, like many couples in 2020/2021 had quite a time actually getting to their wedding day, but third time's a charm! Seriously, could their wedding be any more charming? I adored the vibe of their closest friends and family all coming together to celebrate. The Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel was a beautiful backdrop and the weather could not have been more perfect for a night out on the patio. Congratulations Mr & Mrs Kaufmann! ...
