Sandhills Nebraska Family (Valentine, Nebraska Family Photographer)

To say this family means a lot to me would be an understatement. I absolutely LOVE having them just down the road (6 miles or so is "just down the road" around here). Robin keeps me sane living in the middle of nowhere and I get to live the large family life through them, so it works out perfectly ;-)

We had fun wondering around their little town (yes, they own a town as well...they're just pretty darn awesome) and I had fun chasing the older 3 around! Take a look...

I think this last one sums up accurately what it's like having 4 little ones 5 and under :-)

3 Generations (Nebraska Family + Destination Photographer)

I was so happy I could squeeze in this session while home in Idaho. They wanted some pictures for Mother's Day and I'm honored they chose me to capture this gift :-)

I have no doubt these sisters will be close their entire lives... them

Banks Family (Nebraska Lifestyle Photographer)

I had no intention of wanting any more kids for awhile until I spent a few hours with these little ones the other day. Little man was beyond cute and so itty bitty and then his big sister was a ball of energy and imagination. I had a great time with this family just hanging out at their house, capturing those in-between moments of their life that end up being the most precious.

He had the cutest expressions...

Little Miss Hadley was a very energetic 3-year-old...

...who was not afraid to pose for me...

...or entertain her family...

...or me!

The many looks of a 3-year-old...

Thanks again to this family for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to photograph your growing family.

Fiora is 1! (Nebraska Baby + Family Photographer)

Oh my, where has the time gone? Our Fi is one and already driving!!! ;-)

We are so proud of our niece and love watching her grow up...and I LOVE being able to photograph this family. Seriously, so cute!

We had to maneuver around some tricky light and a not-so-happy Fi, but I think we got some great shots.

I couldn't get over the look on her face in this next one....  :-)

We all love you so much, Fiora. Happy Birthday!

Family of 3 (Nebraska Family + Baby Photographer)

I was so thankful to have the opportunity to photograph my cousin's family while visiting my hometown last month. This little darling is their first and sure to be most spoiled child I'm sure. But who can resist those gorgeous blue eyes, and not-to-mention that hair! She is blessed I tell ya! Not just with her hair, but a fairly large family (gotta love those Zenners!) that loves and adores her to pieces.

The lighting that day....uhm....FABULOUS!

Probably one of my all time favorites of a mother and daughter. So in love.

Still young and in love :-)

An end to a great year! (Nebraska + South Dakota Baby + Child Photographer)

I was so excited to sneak in one more session before the new year and this beautiful girl was a great way to end a fabulous year. It took her a little while to warm up to the camera, but mom and I managed to get a few smiles from her :-)

 

I just love her smiley faces!

By this time, we were all cold and tired. But that's nothing a little cuddle from mom can't fix :-)

Louie is One! (Hay Springs, Nebraska Family + Child Photographer)

I have been following this little guy around for the past year, and it's been nothing but fun! His parents chose to do the "First Year" package with me as it's the most cost effective and beneficial way of capturing the early memories of your child's life.

Last year as a newborn

4 months

8 months

And now a year old, and walking (or should I say running) all over the place!

I chased this little guy all over the park! He was fascinated by everything and had the cutest expressions.

We can't forget about mom and dad...they are so fun together and make the cutest little family :-)

One last photo to get us all in the mood for Halloween! Everyone have a fun and safe weekend!

The Three of Them (Nebraska Family Photographer)

While in Sheridan for another wedding, my good friend asked me to take a few pictures of her and her kids. Some of you may remember the pictures she took of Brock and I last year (visit her website here). I was more then welcome to return the favor. Although, I have to say, it's a bit nerve racking taking photos of another photographer who's work you admire. I was scared the entire time we weren't getting any good ones! But I think we did pretty good and I can't get over how stinkin' cute these kids are!  

Hope you like, Alissa :-)

This kid was hilarious the entire time we were taking pictures! I can picture him being the class clown when he gets older :-)
