Little Bit


My mind has been resolutely centered on my baby boy, who is still only a little over 10 pounds. He's been in and out of the hospital and will probably be sent to a couple specialists this week. In light of this, I've decided to show you how, despite tests and intrusions into his little body, he is a trooper. He is a joy, loves to smile and make the craziest faces. So here's a bit of my Little Bit.

A Grand Adventure


One great place in the state of Nebraska to visit is the Stuhr Museum. The living history exhibit is awesome. It's fun to walk through history. I snapped some great photos of the church there, built in 1888.




An anatomy lesson...


I know this looks familiar to me, having gone to a one-room school house growing up. Although with obvious differences. I played the old Oregon Trail game on computer (good old floppy disc), and those who went to school here in the 1800's probably took the Oregon Trail or something like it to get to Nebraska.

Exerpics

Looking for lines in downtown Omaha. Playing with the dramatic to bring out the element in the photos.


I always love to photograph rust. It's provides great texture.










I love the stark nature of this photograph.

Asher

Asher was my first toddler shoot. He was a little shy at first. But we got some great shots. When in doubt, hit up a playground. My toddler motto.










Large and In Charge












The past couple of days I've been going through some old shoots and re-editing them. It's fun to see how much I've improved on editing and also to see some of the past work I've done. I remember doing this shoot last year. It was unusually chilly, and I was shooting a family of five. A daunting task, but it turned out so well! The kids were great. They all have such gorgeous big blue eyes, and I loved hanging out with them. These are just some of my favorites from that day.








A Blast



The very first family shoot I did I got to take pics of three adorable kids. My favorites are of the baby. She was so lovable!






The look of trepidation here is one I see a lot at the beginning of a shoot. She was shy, and clung to mommy. I love capturing that though, because it doesn't last forever. We went to Holmes Lake and shot as the sun went down. Then back to my house to do some impromptu shots. She warmed up to me nicely and we had a great time.






Couples

These are my favorites from some couple shoots I did last year. Thought I'd share.

The Past Revisited

These photos are from the end of last summer. It amazes me how fast kids grow up. They've all changed so much already! This is my anthem to capturing these awesome little snippets in time.
