Meredith
Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice | 🍂📸
Next up is Meredith — again! I absolutely love doing photos with her. She’s such a gem and truly one of my favorite people to shoot with. Not only does she have an amazing sense of style, but she also brings the best energy to every session. She makes my job so easy!
For this shoot, Meredith reached out wanting to capture some cozy fall vibes with the colorful leaves. We decided on Elmwood Park, and it ended up being the perfect choice. The weather was beautiful, the light was golden, and the evening couldn’t have been more fun.
We laughed, giggled, and frolicked our way through the whole session — honestly, it felt more like a hangout than work (which is always the best kind of shoot!). This session made me fall in love with fall photos all over again. 🍁
Love you, girl — can’t wait to create more photo magic together in the future! 💛
marissa
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. 💫
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. 💛
Spitsnogle family
The Spitsnogle Family | Fall Family Fun 🍂
I’ve known Missy since I was little — she’s been doing my mom’s hair for years and has worked her magic on mine more than a few times too! She’s always been the sweetest, so when she asked me to photograph her family, I was honored to be part of something so special.
Her parents and sister joined in for the session, and we caught the most beautiful golden hour light at Pioneers Park Nature Center in Lincoln. The park was bustling that evening, but we found the perfect little pocket of peace to capture these moments.
For those who know me, I don’t do families super often — but this session reminded me how much joy they can bring. From the perfectly coordinated outfits to the laughter and genuine smiles, this one was such a treat to capture.
Emma
EMMA’S NURSING SCHOOL GRAD SESSION | DOWNTOWN OMAHA CELEBRATION 🥳
From UNK sorority sisters to graduation day memories—Emma’s session was such a full-circle moment for me! I met Emma during our sophomore year of college at the University of Nebraska Kearney. She was one of the first friends I made in my sorority, and I’ve adored her sweet, stylish energy ever since. So when she reached out to have me capture her nursing school graduation photos, I couldn’t say “yes” fast enough!
We met up at the Douglas County Courthouse in downtown Omaha, where Emma brought her signature style, a killer smile, and her best friend Jessica for support (and hype). The whole session was a blast—we laughed, twirled around the columns, and popped champagne to celebrate her huge accomplishment.
Emma, you are going to do amazing things in this next chapter, and I’m so grateful I got to celebrate this milestone with you. Nurses like you are truly something special!
Content Day at Commonspace Studio 📸
This past content day at Commonspace Studio in Lincoln, NE was exactly what my creative heart needed! A group of talented local photographers (myself included!) gathered together to photograph some absolutely stunning models in a dreamy indoor space filled with natural light and endless photo ops.
What made this day so special wasn’t just the beautiful photos we got to take—it was the energy in the room. No pressure, no expectations, just creatives coming together to experiment, share ideas, and have fun. Getting to connect with other photographers in the area was such a refreshing reminder of the amazing community we’re part of.
This won’t be my last content day—that’s for sure. Already counting down to the next one!
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.
