Christmas in Omaha

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

On Saturday, we spent Christmas in Omaha.  Chris and Christy, my brother and sister-in-law, had been snowed in during Christmas at Sioux City so it wasn’t until this time that we all got a chance to get together.  Christmas with Kevin’s family is always fun and relaxing.

Chris and Christy had just bought a Wii and brought it along.  In this photo, Mike and Chris are having a boxing match.

This is Kevin’s parents, Mike and Jackie.  They have one of the strongest marriages I know and I think they really showed their sons a strong example of how to be a great spouse and just how great marriage can be.  I know Christy and I both feel blessed to have such great husbands as a result of having such great parents as role models to Chris and Kevin.

We loved this one of Drew.

Mike and Jackie had taken down their Christmas decorations since it was so far after Christmas but they decided to decorate their plant and put the presents under that.

Here Drew is listening to the Christmas story.

A rare thing.  Kevin and I actually getting a photo together.   Since we’re photographers we usually only get a couple of photos taken together each year.  We were glad that Chris took this of us and he really did a nice job with the composing it.

This was one of my favorite that I photographed that day.  Just love that Kati was in this shirt that day.

Such a sweet moment.

Mandy and Zack’s Wall Portraits

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Kevin and I have decided that something new we will blog about is showing how our client’s portraits look on their walls.  Wall portraits really personalize your home and can enhance your decor.  We have started offering Wild Sorbet Frames this Fall and our clients love them.  They are hand crafted and hand painted and come in over 100 colors.

Earlier this week, we went to Zack and Mandy’s house to hang their wall portraits in their hallway.  They had chosen the Triplett frames, which come in a set of 3, and chose 1 photo of each of their kids and one family photo.  They chose to have them hung in their hallway where their loved ones can see them as they enter their home or when they go up to the second floor.

We love the colors that Zack and Mandy chose!  Don’t they look great?

Zack, Mandy, Vincent and Lila

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

In October, we photographed this family’s photos in their home.  Vincent and Lila are in our kids club, the Grins and Giggles Club so we’ll have fun watching them grow over the next 2 years.  Vincent is one of the most photogenic children we’ve ever seen and Lila is so adorable.  We photographed the children playing in their backyard.

:

Zack was throwing a football to Vincent.

:

Kevin and I love this photo.  We think it looks like a children’s clothing ad.  Did I mention how cute Vincent is?

:

:

Lila made such cute expressions for us.  I love how with babies they change so quickly so something they may do something new for a couple of weeks and then they move onto to some other new discovery.  For this session, Lila’s cute new trick was sticking out her tongue.  Can’t wait to see what new thing she’s doing for the next session.

:

:

This was my favorite photo I took at their session.  The Bunkers ordered a wall portrait set of 3 photos in fun colorful frames with this photo included.  Can’t wait to hang it on their wall for them in a couple of weeks.

:

Such a sweet moment.

:

This was ours and Zack and Mandy’s favorite family photo.  I love how Lila is looking up to her big brother.   Also want to give props to their dog, Deacon.  He posed for us wherever we laid him.  He is a very sweet, easy going dog.  He’s been one of our favorite dogs to photograph.  This photo is another one that is going to be in their wall portrait set.

:

:

I love this little shy look.  Zack and Mandy, we laughed so much during your session and just fell in love with your kids.  We’re looking forward to another session with them in a couple of months.  What is everyone’s favorite photo from this session?

Charlotte: Grins and Giggles Photos

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I had a very hard time choosing photos for this post because we had so many good ones from this session.  Charlotte is at such a fun age right now and we enjoyed photographing her doing some of her favorite things.

:

:

:

I love this family photo.  The expressions are great and I love the color of the sky.

:

:

We went down by the downtown library so Charlotte could play in the water play area.  She had never been there before and had so much fun splashing.  I love the look of pure glee in this photo.

:

The whole time she was in the water, she had this big smile on her face.  She loved discovering all the things she could do with the water.

:

Next we went to Snookies for some ice cream.  This is one of the family’s favorite places to go.

:

:

Every time we photograph Charlotte she’s doing something new.  Waving is one of her new favorite things.  Can’t wait to see what she’ll be doing for her next session!

Its amazing how quickly children grow! During Charlotte’s first Grins and Giggles session in October we photographed her on this red armchair in her nursery. Shortly after this last session, Charlotte started walking, too.

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Charlottte turned one in March (yes, we’re behind on our blogging, and for that we apologize. We did just get some new tools which should help us crank these out much quicker)

(Yes, these cupcakes were as good as they look!)

Check back tomorrow for Part 2

Charlotte’s Grins and Giggles Session Post 2

Friday, November 21st, 2008

I love this one of Sarah and Charlotte. It just shows the love they have for each other.

This is one of our favorites of the family. It’s so cute how it looks like Charlotte’s saying “I’m here!”. She has so many cute expressions. I also love the color of the leaves in the background.

Charlotte is making everyone laugh again. Such a cutie!

Charlotte’s Grins and Giggles Club Session

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

We met Andy and Sarah earlier this year through photographing baby dedications at our church. We instantly fell in love with their daughter, Charlotte. She’s a very sweet, easy going baby.


Charotte joined our baby club, the Grins and Giggles Club. This allows her to come in for 6 sessions in the next 2 years and have a beautiful album in the end showing how she’s grown during that time and all her cute expressions. This portrait is one of Kevin and mine’s favorite from the day and it was one of the first ones we took. Her blue eyes are so adorable! I think she may end up being a supermodel someday because this was literally our first or second portrait of the day and Charlotte was charming us. She’s a natural in front of the camera.

Here is another one of our favorites. Charlotte almost looks like a little doll here. So cute! We will be posting more portraits of Charlotte, Sarah and Andy within the next week so keep checking back!
