Royal Senior | At the Castle 👑✨
Next up is Marissa! I absolutely loved this senior session — it was full of style, creativity, and sweet personal touches. Marissa and her mom came prepared with such a beautiful vision, and we had the best time bringing it to life.
We started the session at Joslyn Castle, where Marissa looked like royalty. She even wore her mother’s wedding dress for part of the shoot — how special is that? It added such a sentimental and elegant touch to the day.
We then explored the stunning greenery at the OPPD Arboretum and wrapped up near a peaceful lake in the Regency area. Marissa’s long curly hair, natural confidence, and eye for style made her such a dream to photograph. These are truly some of my favorite senior photos to look back on. 💫
Jacob & Tais
Tais + Jacob | Engagement Session | Golden Hour, Golden Engagement ☀️
Next up on the blog is my sweet friend Tais—someone who holds such a special place in my heart. We met junior year of college while in the Radiologic Technology program at Nebraska Methodist, and from day one, I knew she was one of those rare souls you feel instantly at ease with. She’s genuine, kind, and has been one of my closest friends ever since. We’ve stayed in touch through the years—even traveled to a Vegas program together last year!
When she reached out to have me photograph her engagement session with Jacob, I was so excited and honored. We chose Hitchcock Nature Center in the Loess Hills for their session, and wow—despite it being one of the hottest and sweatiest days ever (seriously, we were melting), these photos turned out to be some of my all-time favorites.
Their love was so easy to capture—it’s in the way they laugh together, the way they look at each other, and the way they just fit. I loved every minute of that golden evening with them (even the uphill hike!). So much so that I ended up photographing their wedding ceremony later that year. 🥹
This session will always be a favorite memory for me—not just because of the photos, but because of the people. Love you, Tais!
Gianna
SENIOR 2025 | OMAHA + LOESS HILLS GOLDEN SESSION 🏞️
Okay… I have to say it—Gianna’s session is easily one of my absolute favorites to date. She came all the way from Illinois to Nebraska for her senior photos (!!!) and brought the cutest outfits, a creative vision, and the kind of joyful energy that makes a photographer’s job feel like a dream. 💫
We kicked things off at Chalco Hills near the lake where she wore a sweet white romper that felt light, fresh, and soperfectly senior-summer. From there, we headed downtown to the iconic Flat Iron Hotel—hands down one of the most unique buildings in Omaha. Her sleek black dress paired beautifully with the architecture, giving off editorial vibes that I’m still obsessed with.
Finally, we crossed the river into Iowa to wrap up the night at Hitchcock Nature Center in the Loess Hills. Even though it was a cloudy evening, the views were breathtaking. Her flowy orange dress popped against the muted tones of the hills and created some of the most ethereal shots I’ve taken.
Gianna—you brought style, grace, and so much fun to this session. I still scroll through your gallery and swoon. Senior sessions like this one remind me just how much I love what I do. 💛
Brady
Downtown Vibes + Track Pride | Brady’s Senior 2025 Session
Brady was such a blast to work with — not only was he my only boy senior this year, but he brought his A-game and wasn’t afraid to get creative! He’s the younger brother of one of my best friends from college, which made this session even more special.
We kicked things off on the rooftop of a downtown Omaha parking garage, capturing some bold shots with the skyline and even his track uniform (shoutout to a true student athlete!). After that, we made our way to the Douglas County Courthouse, where he suited up — literally — and nailed a sharp, professional look.
Brady may be from small-town Holdrege, but he’s headed for big things with UNO in his future and a degree in Business on the horizon. I’m so proud of how this session turned out and even more excited to see where life takes him next!
Natalia
Class of 2025 | Lutheran High School 🏫
Natalia’s session was such a dream. ✨ From the moment we met downtown with her stunning bouquet of flowers, I knew this was going to be something special.
We explored so many sides of Omaha — from the city textures to wide open skies. First stop: the charming urban corners of downtown, where she brought the most gorgeous blooms that added so much color and personality. Next, we made our way up to a rooftop garage for that perfect skyline backdrop — breezy, golden, effortlessly cool. And then… Chalco Hills. 🌾🌅 As the sun dipped low, the fields lit up with magic. Natalia glowed.
What I loved most? She brought her. Her creativity, her vision, her style — and it made every moment feel like her storyin the making.
Natalia, thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful chapter. You’re graceful, artistic, and full of light — I can’t wait to see all the beauty you bring into the world next. 💙🎓
Brie
Golden Hour Magic with Brie | Bennington High Senior Session 🌅
Brie was an absolute joy to photograph! A 2025 senior from Bennington High School, she brought such a fun, radiant energy to her session — plus a full cheer squad (aka, her awesome parents) to hype her up along the way.
We kicked off her session in downtown Omaha, where she totally rocked an urban vibe — confident, stylish, and glowing with senior-year excitement. After capturing some city magic, we made our way to Chalco Hills where we were blessedwith the most dreamy golden hour light. The session wrapped up perfectly on the dock by the lake, with the soft evening sun reflecting on the water — truly a golden ending to a golden session.
Brie, thanks for making senior photos so fun and memorable! Your smile lit up every shot, and I’m so excited for all that’s ahead for you.
Litzey
✨ Senior Spotlight: Litzey – Millard West Class of 2025 ✨
Say hello to Litzey, a rockstar senior from Millard West’s Class of 2025! 🎓
Litzey is the kind of girl who does it all—student athlete, cross country state runner-up, and total creative soul. Her session was packed with personality and style, and I loved every second of capturing it!
We kicked things off downtown where she showed off her edgy side—posing like a total natural on top of a rooftop parking garage, next to a sleek black car, and rocking her shades. Talk about senior session goals. 😎 The city skyline made the perfect backdrop for her confidence and cool vibe.
Then we traded the city for nature and headed to Chalco Hills just in time for golden hour. The warm light, soft breeze, and peaceful setting were the perfect way to end the evening. From urban boldness to nature’s calm, this session showed the many sides of who Litzey is—and I’m so honored I got to document this chapter of her life.
Congratulations, Litzey! I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do next.
