I had hoped to do a little work while up there…I thought for sure I’d be able to snag someone’s wireless internet or hit up one of the small town coffee shops for some free wi-fi, but wouldn’t you know it, there was none to be found.  My husband and I had a good chuckle as we were driving verrrrry slowly around the lake trying to pick up someone’s signal.  No dice. LOL The next day we headed into town, I thought for sure I could hit up the library or the coffee shop…NOTHING!  I thought it was crazy, but my husband reminded me that I shouldn’t be “working” on vacation anyway.  So, I apologize to those who emailed and got no response for several days.  I will be returning all calls and emails in the next couple days.

Before I left for vacation, I had the pleasure of photographing this next lovely family who happen to also be good friends.

Miss Samantha as a newborn…

Miss Samantha now!  And yes, in case you are wondering…she is a sibling to this beauty, and has another sister who will be coming in for her session in a few weeks.

Some ideas for toddler girls…all from The GAP.

And for toddler boys…layering clothes and graphic t-shirts are still great stylish choices…styles below also from The GAP.

For grade school girls…from The GAP.

For the older boys…first outfit from Old Navy, second outfit from The GAP…

And a few more from the girls….the first dress/jeans is from Tea…and the second two are from Janie & Jack.

Happy Shopping to you all! :)

Layla’s mom owns the Divas & Darlings boutique (27th & Pine Lake) here in Lincoln.  She has lots of great stuff in the store including designer baby/kids clothes, specialty baby items, and maternity clothing.  If you have a session coming up, or just need something super cute, head on over and check it out!!

I was just tickled to meet the newest addition to their family….Cruz. He is just as handsome as can be, and was the perfect little model for his first photo session. I don’t think we heard a peep from him the entire time. I am always most appreciative to be able to share in these very special moments with my clients. Enjoy some images from Cruz’s newborn session.

One from her newborn session:

And now….

I loved these two images together!

I mean how can this NOT make you smile?!?!   ;)

Seth & Colleen…CONGRATS on becoming a family!  It was so SO great to meet you and your beautiful baby girl!!  She’s absolute perfection.

Sharing a bunch because I couldn’t just pick a few…

This one makes me smile. :)

Something I love LOVE about this one too…

The lovely ladies.

Meet Alexander…10 days old.




I just adore this one!
