Baby Fiona: Newborn Photographer Omaha

Ok.  So I might be a little biased, but I think Fiona is one of the most precious little babies I've ever seen.  Kevin and I are lucky to be this beautiful little girl's godparents.

Emily trusted me to venture out with her brand new baby into the weeds behind her apartment, and even though we were getting strange looks from people driving by it was super fun.  I wanted to do pictures in the theme of the maternity pictures we snapped of Emily.  It was such a perfect warm night and Fiona was so cooperative.  Seriously - normally you want to allocate several hours for a newborn shoot, and we were able to get a bunch of pictures in 15 minutes.  She didn't even pee.  Talk about the perfect.

As much as I like the outdoor pictures (especially on the blanket my mom and I made for Fiona), my favorite pictures are actually the ones around 10:30 pm of Emily, Casey, and Fiona.  I stayed to make it through two different feedings.  Between pumping, feeding, diaper changing.  Wow.  Any every 3 hours?  Emily and Casey were handling it like champs and somehow already seemed like experts.  So proud of you guys!  Emily - I know you told me no pictures of you, but you guys are just so cute I couldn't help it.  I can take these down if you hate them.  Love you guys!


And last but not least.  Fiona - the baby burrito :)




Julia + Dustin: Omaha Wedding Photographer

Julia and Dustin, I'm so glad I got the chance to photograph your wedding.  I thought everything about the day was beautiful, and romantic, and on top of it really fun.  These are the things I will remember about your wedding day: the tears in both your eyes when Julia walked down the aisle, the sun setting as you exchanged your vows, the bubbles and the smiles as you walked down the aisle with your kids in your arms, the candlelit reception, the matching wedding rings and chuck taylors, and how happy I was when the rain went away and the sun came out. I loved it all.  Kate - I know you and Julia worked really hard on all these details and I think you guys totally pulled it off.  Even the weather cooperated!

Not everyone is natural in front of the camera, and I consider it my job as the photographer to make people feel comfortable and get great images of them being themselves....  BUT honestly I think you guys just forgot that I was there and enjoyed being together and married. It was so cool to watch.  I think your mom said it best when she contacted me about shooting the wedding and said, "It will be an amazing positive evening... two kids showing all us old folks that love really does conquer all."


Huge thanks for Charista for driving down to Kansas City with me and doing such a great job helping me shoot the wedding!
