Jamie's Maternity Session

A few months ago Jamie messaged me asking me what I would charge for a pregnancy announcement session, while I didn't have a set price I sat and listed out a couple of ideas I had and then came to the conclusion that a mini session would be perfect. And then I realized it was for HER!! So I stumbled around and congratulated her and we set the date to get those done along with her yearly Back to School session for the older kiddos. I tell ya, it was real hard not to post anything about the announcement but I had to refrain because we have mutual friends who'd catch on pretty quickly. Anyhow, that was in August so I've been impatiently waiting for maternity photos and still waiting for baby to arrive next month. Here's a quick peak at the mini session "MOORE" being baby's last name, seemed fitting huh?

Any who...I was soooo excited for the maternity photos because the weather was calling for 50 degrees and sunny so we could get out and do some outdoor pics as well. Mmmm ya, typical Nebraska weather and it was SUPER windy, and not warm wind either, it was cold, so 90% of the session had to be done indoors. Kind of a bummer when the sun and dark clouds couldn't agree on who should be out, but we made do and we got some pretty dreamy photos of this gorgeous momma!

I'm so excited to meet little miss in a couple of weeks. She's definitely coming into a family who is going to love and adore her, especially big sis who didn't want to leave momma's side! She's been the baby for 6 years, its time to be the big sister :) (Left is from the pregnancy announcement mini session)

Damian and Hannah Senior Model shoot

Because I need to get some models in I asked my good friend/hair dresser if I could borrow her son, a sophomore now and still a couple years from his own senior pics, for some photos last spring (I know shoot me, I am HORRIBLE at blogging). Anyhow, when his super cute girlfriend heard about it she offered herself up for modeling as well so needless to say I was pretty stoked to get the versatility. Not only are they an absolutely adorable high school couple Damian is the pitcher for the baseball team and Hannah is on the dance team. I kept calling her a cheerleader, not cool, very not cool...

I'm pretty thrilled with how these went and these kids were so fun, perfect models, pretty much did whatever I wanted and I know they had fun too.

Family Pricing

When I became a mom my number one goal was to make sure there were always new photos of my family in the house. I went years with the same photo on my parent's living room wall and I hated that picture because I was chubby not to mention sick in that photo and my mom didn't take us back for photos again until I was an adult and pregnant with my 4th kid lol. so nearly 20 years! Anyhow, I think family photos are important and I think everyone should have them done at least once a year which means I keep my price listing for these pretty low. I know that you can go to any big chain photography studio and get the $10 package of unedited pictures and spend a $100 or more on getting them printed off, but why not find yourself a great photographer with a great price for photos that you'll be proud to hang on your wall and hand out to family?

Each family session is $175, this includes an hour of indoor or outdoor photos at the location of your choice as well as 20 edited photos and a proof book. Your photos are then uploaded to shootproof for you viewing and you can order photos directly through there at amazing prices! 

*note: this pricing is available for household/immediate family only, for photos with extended family (aunts, grandma, cousins, etc.) we can discuss pricing as needed.*

Kyri Easter

I was so excited to see little Miss Kyri back in the studio, she however wasn't excited to see me haha. I had to bring in my back up, aka my daughter, to get a smile out of her but we finally did and we got some amazingly cute shots of her.She's such a doll and has wonderful parents. They brought in this giant Easter chick which worked perfect for our Easter theme, I need to find one to keep for myself lol. I can't wait to take her birthday pictures this summer, I'm bringing in my secret weapon for sure!

Kassidy's Easter Mini

Last weekend I had a couple of cuties in for Easter mini's. I was so excited to meet the Amidon family, they're newish in town like I am so it was great to meet fellow newbies and I was sooooo happy to meet Miss Kassidy. Omgosh, she had the most contagious smile, she had me grinning the whole time! I had quite the mess to clean up when she left though, that green basket filler was the greatest thing since sliced bread for her! She had it every where! but it was totally worth it :) The whole family is just adorable and a blast to meet, can't wait to see them again!

Arnold Boys

Are they not the cutest brothers? This shoot actually had to be rescheduled because the weather was terribly cold the first date but 2 weeks later it was beautiful and sunny, enough that they could wear shorts and I was sweating! That's Nebraska weather for ya!

Every one, meet Landon, he's got a quirky smile and a bit of a 'tude, but we got along just fine! and Bentley, sweet little boy with a bit of camera shyness but he eventually warmed up to me. We had so much fun running around that park, climbing up on rocks and kicking the ball around. It was great to meet this family, truly hope to see them again!

Meet Jax 6 days old

Meet the newest addition to my family, Jaxton Thomas Carey. Born March 10 to my baby brother and his girlfriend at a whopping 9lb 6oz! He was bigger than my biggest! I had to wait 6 days to meet him but it was so worth it. He's adorable with those chubby cheeks and incredibly peaceful. If all babies were this way the world would be greater...or over populated lol. The day was perfect, the light was perfect, I'm just in love with him and how these photos turned out.

Here's some with mom and dad I love too. He had not issues being jostled from one person to the other, seriously I would keep him if I could!
