Raising Relief Funds for the Community of Joplin, MO - Omaha Professional Photographer

I've heard the news reports, watched you tube videos, looked at photographs and listend to stories about the devestation that rocked the community of Joplin, MO.  It's left me sad and speechless with a need to reach out and try to help in some way.  I want to do my part to help but I need your help to do it. I want to help raise funds for the local chapter of the Red Cross.   Together, I believe we can make a difference.  I would like to offer my professional services to help raise funds for the people of Joplin.  Here's what I came up with to help our fellow Americans.  In addition to the donation made by you, I will donate 10% of the profits of any collection or print purchases made through this fund-raising event.  I hope you are as excited as I am about this opportunity to work together for a good cause.  Email me to reserve your session.  Together we can make an difference!

First Holy Communion - Omaha Professional Photographer

Lela made her First Holy Communion on April 10th this year.  Here is a photograph (okay so maybe a few photographs) of her in my studio that morning before we left to go to church.  I loved her dress!  It was simple and soft and classic.  Her dress was hand sewn and my mother made her headpiece and veil.  (The little stinker refused to wear my First Communion dress from when I was little.  She said it was ugly.  *gasp*  Meanwhile,  Becca was annoyed that she was never even given the option of wearing my dress.  Oy!  My girls.  ...at the very least they keep me on my toes. ;)

Cupcakes! - Omaha Professional Photographer

Hey, if you knew how little I baked, you would be excited too! ;)  Here are a few photos from the last time it was my turn to host bookclub.  I chose House Rules by Jodi Picoult.  It is a really great read.  I highly recommend it.  Anyway, I was feeling a bit adventerous and decided to bake homemade cupcakes.  It was a success!  I didn't burn down the house AND they were tasty!  Don't worry, I actually had Jimmy John's and some fresh fruit from Hy-Vee to feed the guests as back-up.
