Grace & Meredith
Winter Wishes | Bestie Session | Standing Bear Lake ✨
Next up is Meredith and her sweet friend Grace! This session took place in February — but you’d never guess it, because the weather was perfect for a photoshoot. The girls showed up in the cutest outfits that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of Standing Bear Lake.
We caught golden hour at just the right moment, and the light was absolutely dreamy. I first met Meredith at the Newman Center, and over time, she’s become not only a long-time friend but also one of my biggest supporters. We've done so many shoots together, and each one is better than the last!
This session was filled with laughter, jokes, and plenty of frolicking (our favorite!). We wrapped up the evening by the dock with the golden light shimmering off the water — such a perfect ending. I can’t wait to get these two in front of my camera again soon. 💛
Rachel & Bailey
Bailey & Rachel | Fall Cousin Session | Elmwood Park 🍂
Next up is Bailey and Rachel! I met Rachel through a mutual friend at the Newman Center, and she’s truly one of the sweetest people I’ve had the chance to work with — not to mention, a total natural in front of the camera!
She brought her cousin Bailey along for a cozy fall photo session at Elmwood Park, and these two made it such a fun shoot. I loved their coordinating sweaters, the colorful leaves on the ground, and the soft golden light filtering through the trees.
Fall sessions have my heart, and this one was no exception! 🧡
Delaney & Daisy
Bestie Session | Downtown Omaha ☀️
This session was such a blast! Delaney and her best friend Daisy met me downtown on a hot summer evening, and despite the heat, we had so much fun. The bright colors they wore perfectly matched their vibrant energy — we frolicked, giggled, and soaked up every last bit of sunshine (even though the sun had us racing against time).
I always have the best time photographing friends, and this session reminded me just how special it is to capture the joy between people who love each other so deeply. 💛
Delaney, Cadence, Joslyn, & Daisy
Golden Hour at Chalco Hills | Roommate Session with Delaney + Friends 🩷
This session takes me way back—to my very first year living in Omaha! Delaney and I met while living at the Newman Center, and she was one of the first people to make this new city feel like home. She brought along her amazing roommates—Joslyn, Cadence, and Daisy—for what turned out to be one of the most joy-filled, golden-hour-drenched sessions I’ve ever done.
It was a little warm out (okay, sweaty), but it was totally worth it for those glowy fall colors at Chalco Hills. These girls were so easygoing, fun, and willing to trust me with creative direction—even when I made them spin in circles or laugh way louder than necessary.
This shoot still holds a special place in my heart, and I catch myself going back to it often when I need a reminder of how powerful connection, color, and creativity can be. Delaney, Joslyn, Cadence, and Daisy—you made this one unforgettable.
Natalie & Delaney
Frolicking Through the Loess Hills with Delaney + Natalie | Iowa Portrait Session
When your college bestie reaches out for a photo session with her cousin, you know it’s going to be something special.
Delaney and Natalie met me out at the stunning Hitchcock Nature Center in the Loess Hills of Iowa—a location that never disappoints. Even though the skies were gray and the bugs were determined, we leaned into the moody, earthy vibes of the day and made magic happen.
These two were so much fun to work with. We wandered through tall grass, found hidden trails, and laughed way too hard trying to avoid mosquito ambushes. The clouds created the dreamiest soft light, and the rolling hills made the perfect backdrop for their joyful energy and sweet connection.
This session was the perfect mix of laid-back, adventurous, and heartfelt—basically everything I love about photographing people who trust me to capture them just as they are.
Scroll down for some of my favorite moments from this cozy, carefree session in the Loess Hills.
