Sometimes the stars align and I get a double blessings -- this was one of those times! Last spring A Latere Academy was having a silent auction fundraiser and asked for donations from the families. I love the school and the positive and encouraging environment there and our family has benefitted so much from their love and support, that I was excited to offer my talents to support them back. As a result, I got to know Katie and her family! Another blessing. Aren't they they cutest?!!

Hearing Sarah's description of  'G' warmed my heart. She is spunky and sweet, smart and full of energy. She loves princess' and twirling and is clearly adored by everyone around her. I enjoyed their session tremendously and had fun heading back to my childhood home. I really believe it is one of the most beautiful places in Nebraska!

I recently got to meet the lovely and gracious 'P' family. I secretly adore people watching and seeing how families interact with each other. Watching this family together was a #familygoals moment for sure! They laughed together easily, had inside jokes and looked at each other sweetly and with grace. I loved the teasing, but also the thoughtful and more serious political discussions with their teens. They frequently open their home to others (including whole groups of teenagers!) and that type of hospitality and generosity is something I admire.

In many ways I lead a small, but valuable life. It is unlikely (although I'm more than happy to keep the option open!) that you will ever see my name on a list of top grossing photography businesses in the metro area. But that is ok with me, because of you. My clients friends.

Through something that can only be described as grace, you trust me with your greatest treasures: the ones you love, your most memorable days, and even those incredibly special and intimate moments of new life, sweet blessings before you walk down the isle, tear-filled gift exchanges from the heart, and so much more.

This has been a special week of pictures (more to come) but one of the reasons is because of this sweet family. Knowing that Jill's loves pictures and places a high value on them, I really wanted to make sure it was perfect for her. As expected, they showed up looking beautiful (and handsome) and being sweet as ever.

Here's a little peek of our fun!

This weekend I had the honor of photographing my first ever Quinceanera! Even though the weather was HOT, it was wonderful. Desiree is a beautiful girl inside and out, and there is no question that her family loves her and each other dearly.

Here is a little sneak peek!
