Sam + Ben: Omaha engagement photos

I love when couples incorporate places that are important to them in their engagement photos.  Getting to shoot at someone's house or in their neighborhood is awesome -- and wait until you see how cute their dog is.  Sam and Ben are a great couple and I can't wait to shoot their wedding next year!

Before and After

We downsized our condo about 2 years ago and just threw the furniture that we already owned together.  I thought that living back in our tiny 620 square foot condo on 16th and Farnam would be somewhat temporary, but after we've been back living here for 2 years we've realized that lots of living space doesn't compare to all the other things we want.   We want to walk places, we want to travel a ton, we want to start businesses.  So we decided to make this our semi permanent home, and honestly, we really love living here.

I'm a big believer in supporting local business and letting the professionals do their job, so we were so lucky to get to work with Jessica and Ginger at Birdhouse Interiors to help us redesign the space.  I definitely can have a lot of opinions and always like to explore ALL my options before making purchases, but Jessica was beyond patient with me.  She worked with us to do mood boards, recommend stores, source vintage pieces, and recommend contractors like the amazing Peter at Measure Cut Cut for the custom coffee table and shelves.

Here is the original mode board Jessica and Ginger put together for the space, and the before and after pictures.  Not only does the space feel more open now that we painted the walls and ceiling stark white, but it is 100 times more functional and easy to keep clean with all the new storage.  Thanks again to Birdhouse Interiors for their great work!

Haley's senior photos

I don't normally get the chance to do senior photos since I have so many commitments to the  couples that I work with, but when my dad talked to me about Haley I was super excited to work with her.  He said that she is really fun and wanted to do some senior photos downtown in addition to the senior photo session with my dad.  We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful night for photos and I love how some of these came out. 

Hope you have an amazing senior year Haley!  Thanks dad for the referral :)
