Sweet things sure do come in small packages!  Miss Kollyns is every bit as soft, pink and fuzzy as she looks.  I could have snuggled her all day!  She was a very warm little one, though.  Wrapped in just one light blanket the whole time, little darling was hot!  And, so alert!  She didn’t want to miss out on picture taking with her big sis.  We eventually got her settled and snug into an olive bucket – precious!
Welcome to the world, baby girl!

Little Millie is simply a dolly.  I adore all the blankets her mama sewed for her before her arrival. We even got to use her mama’s pretty, white baptismal blanket!  Appropriately as a little August baby, her mom dressed her in the cutest little watermelon dress to wrap up her session.  Love all the special details!
Stay sweet little one, no doubt you will!

Sweet young woman, this Miss Colleen!  On session day, I raced to her hometown with giant clouds on my tail the entire way.  Once there, Colleen smiled and I snapped as quick as I could as the clouds darkened – making for some beautiful skies! Hoping against the odds, she and I headed straight into the storm to try sneak in one more location.  But, in the car, with our eyes on the thunderous wall cloud above, buckets of rain began to pour on us!  I glanced over to her and said, “Welp, I think we’re done for tonight!” It was fun to sit for a bit and converse with her as the storm finally subsided.  A few days later we lucked out with of the most gorgeous August evenings in Nebraska for this gorgeous Nebraska girl.
Enjoy this coming year, Colleen!  I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you.

The day of Kale’s shoot, he showed up and knocked it out of the park for sure!  We had fun cracking jokes and trying to kick up some dust with his pickup.  But on a more sentimental note, I want to take a moment to remember that Kale was born a twin with his sister, Kamryn, who earned her set of angel wings all too soon. We took a few shots in memory of her, and I think they are be something to treasure for many years to come.
Have a great senior year, Kale!  Make it your best yet!

Here’s Hunter! Cloudy blue skies paired with some awesome locations he chose made for an excellent senior session!  I think the coolest part was exploring an old, abandoned air base hanger and discussing what it might have been like back in it glory days.  We finished his session at his grandpa’s pond where there were so many awesome spots!
Have a great senior year, Hunter.  Enjoy all the fun!
