Mahoney State Park

This past few days were spent at Mahoney State Park. I suggest you all go there for a few days to check it out - it was some great family fun!! They have it all - horseback riding, pony rides, butterfly garden, putt putt golf, swimming (with slides and a wave pool!), hiking, fishing, paddle boating, a melodramatic theatre, craft area, indoor activity center and MORE....you name it, they probably have it!! I would not call this a "relaxing" vacation - this one was ALL about this kids - and all we did was GO, GO, GO!!

We had one stormy day - so we headed to the craft area and painted some pottery - Owen loved it and had quite a time with the paint!! :)

We had a cabin rented and the boys loved hanging out in the woods.

Hayden's 6th birthday was celebrated there - everyone loves a "funny face" photo!?!?

My budding photographer was thrilled to get his first digital camera for his birthday!!

We did LOTS of fishing - my boys are maniacs when it comes to catching the big one! They already have some great fishing tales.... We took the boys to a couple of seminars the park had, fishing and archery - they were great and hardly anyone was there!

And because they are maniacs, as I said, we had to keep up the fishing and head to Rotary Lake last night - it was a beautiful cool night!

Bubbles are so much fun....

Meleia...Part One

The senior season has begun and I am off to a kickin' start. I love seniors for many reasons, but the best part has to be that I get to be as CREATIVE as I can be and they are willing to do just about anything.

Yesterday I shot Meleia Oestmann's senior pics - thanks for sharing your afternoon and evening with me Meleia - you are such a sweet girl!! Here is your sneak peek...

Oh, and this is only "part one" check back soon to see "part two".

Fun on the Farm!

Okay, so I am NOT a farm girl....I know I am from Nebraska, but do not ask me to name any crop...unless it is corn!

Last night I was with Erica Obermeyer and Tony Janssen photographing an engagement session for them - we had a blast shooting on Erica's parents farm. There were some fantastic places to get super cool images. Check them out below...










I am looking forward to their wedding in July - it should be a blast to shoot! Thanks Tony & Erica - I had a great time with you guys last night!!

Dustin + Capri + Bethany + Molly + Grandma + Grandpa

Today I got to hang with the Kiekel family and get some family photos for them. It was hot & humid & windy today (typical NE summer!) but we were able to still find some great areas in their own backyard to get some super shots of them all.

My summer schedule is filling up quick! If you are interested in booking a summer session with me you need to call NOW and get yourself on the calendar!! 402.274.7236
