Chloe + John’s Omaha DIY / woodland – National Park’s themed wedding was one of the most creative events!  There were so many little details and unique touches.  We loved it!  There were blooming magnolia trees, a midnight blue wedding gown (so cool!!), woodland masks for the photo booth (booth pictures coming soon), a “beat bearer” who  danced to The Black Keys, “Lonely Boy,” a bouquet launch, ridiculously awesome cupcakes (mango, lime, etc.), and more.  Amazingness!!!  Congrats to Chloe + John!!!

I’m feeling incredibly blessed.  It’s crazy how fast life unfolds!  I cried when we blogged my maternity portraits, when I first met our girl, and I’ve already cried just editing these Mother’s Day portraits!  I want to bottle up all of these moments.  She’s growing too fast.

My first Mother’s Day was so special.  All I really wanted was time with these two and some portraits with my girl.  What a day!  There were portraits in the park, farmer’s market goodness, flowers, talking to my mom on the phone (hopefully next time we can be together), a peach pie, friends, family (yay for a great Mother-in-law as well!!), and lots of kisses to and from this sweet girl of ours.  It is so hard to believe that she’s almost six months old.  I’m so thankful for my husband and the chance to be a mommy to this sweet girl.  I hope you all had the best Mother’s Day!

We first met the Kittell family at Paige + Peter’s Lincoln wedding (where  sweet Lucy was the flower girl)!!  Later on we met up with Liz + Lucielle to take some maternity photos.  Not long after that little Henry was born and I was able to meet up with them in the hospital for some portraits.  …and here we are!  I love that we have spent so much time with these guys.

Hope you all are having a great week.  We have had the best spring weekend and are now prepping for snow.  What gives?!

We met up with Joby, Jessie, + Stella not long ago to work up some family portraits.  There was a ton of crazy Nebraska wind that day and a lot of amazing jumping happening.  We are looking forward to J + J’s Lincoln wedding in a few short weeks!

Happy Friday to you all!

Jesse + Stephanie (& little baby Luke) met up with us the other week for a family portrait session.  We felt fully prepared to make goofy baby noises and all the rest to get Luke’s attention (thank you, June).  Thanks to the V family for having us!

Hope you all have a great week!  We have truck load of family sessions + a wedding that will be hitting our blog soon.
