Music: September, Art Music

What a fun crew to work with the Schardt family! Dale & Lori’s farm is just over the highway and through the woods from our house. Our kids love when they bring cows to graze on corn stalks around our farm – it’s like a scavenger hunt to find the one longhorn in the bunch! And, Desi once bailed me out when I needed goat kid milk replacer. These are the types of friends and neighbors money can’t buy, but we’re sure glad to have them! Wishing you all a safe and plentiful harvest, Schardt fam!

Music: Turning Page (instrumental), by Sleeping at Last

Here’s Reese! Growing up, I was blessed with the best cousin gangs. Now we are all grown up and raising families of our own. Reese is my cousin Kim’s daughter, and it was so special to me that she wanted something unique and decided to come take pictures where we live. They both stayed a night to chat and catch up on life. Reese is a very sweet soul, and loves the nostalgia from the early 2000s. We talked about the dresses and outfits she loves to thrift from that decade, the books she loves to read, and music she listens to. Thanks for having me capture this moment of your life Reese – I wish you a great senior year and beyond!

Meet the Walters Family! With just enough rain to make some puddles the morning of, we were not going to let it rain on our parade, or session, I should say. We all met out at the farm, and I love how we were able to position the nostalgic 1925 barn in the background of some of the photos. And, I can only imagine what it is like to be blessed with a precious little girl gang of granddaughters, but I am willing to bet that Mike & Camella would tell you it is pretty darn special! Happy harvest, Walters fam!

Things are about to get real! Our oldest nephew is entering his senior year, and it is bittersweet knowing he has reached this milestone. I was thrilled to get to take his senior photos, and him having grown up in Lincoln, I got to check off a bucket list item- doing a photoshoot at the state capital. So cool! He has always been such kind, compassionate soul, and that is exactly who is going to be into adulthood as well. Cheers to the last year of high school, Mason – I cannot wait to see where you’ll go from here!

Say hello to the whole Schardt Family! It was a beautiful Friday morning under the backyard trees, not too hot…yet…and a little cloud cover with remnants of a bit of overnight rain. The farmers were happy, and almost all the kiddos were in good spirits- two big wins! I just love this bunch, and I have been blessed to capture so many special moments for them all over the years- they’re beginning to feel like family. Enjoy all these moments together, Schardts, Winters, & Ottos, and let’s keep the rain comin’.
