Black and White Portraiture { Omaha Professional Photographer }

I just had to share one more image of Becca before Creighton Prep's Homecoming.  I really love it.  You can view the first one I shared on the blog by clicking here.

On-Location in Omaha, Nebraska { Omaha Professional Photographer }

A couple weeks ago I had a contest on my Facebook page and Trish happened to be one of the winners!  We were both excited.  Trish and I had the opportunity to take a class together awhile back and the quarter was spent filled with lots of laughter (Trish's laugh is infectious) and breaking the hard fast rule "No horsing around in the darkroom". I seemed to have been a target because I scare easily.  Although, I must say when there is an image of a scary dude holding a chainsaw hung above the processor it does tend to help the imagination run a little wild. ;)  In all fairness I should mention Trish wasn't the only culprit; she had several people willing to help.  One of them, Lynette Regier , is a good friend of mine and accompanies me on most my shoots, toting the reflector, scouting locations within the venue, carrying equipment and is my second pair of eyes.  Needless to say, we had a ball on this shoot. :)

I loved these trails within the wooded area!  Although, I probably wouldn't have stepped foot on them by myself ( I spend too much time watching Criminal Minds ).  Trish and I gave Lynette a hard time by suggesting we'd leave her with bread crumbs while she was scouting the area.  She didn't see the humor in it.

Of course, we had to end the session near the water and rocks. It was so pretty.  Trish especially wanted a photograph of her by the waterfall but I'll be saving it for her on-line gallery.  I don't want to give away of the yummy photo goodness at once!

I just couldn't end this post without including a photograph of Lynette.  We goofed around on this shoot just as much as we did in class.  It was great hanging out again.  Thank you for such a fun shoot, Trish!  I almost forgot!  You can view the color version of Trish's portraits by clicking here.

Photographing Twins is Always Fun { Omaha Professional Photographer }

Yesterday I had a fabulous session with two adorable twins!  We had a great time.  These images were captured in my studio using available natural light.  You can view the color versions here. 

(D) looked so darn pretty in her black and white flowered top.  She had a super cute pair of jeans on- all blinged out in diamond rhinestones.  She is quite the fashionista.

(A) is the sweetest boy.  He has the most gorgeous eyelashes ever and a very catching smile.  He was super comfortable in front of the camera, too!

How cute are these two?  Just look at those smiles!  Thanks, (D) & (A)...and thank you, (M).  I had a ball photographing your children.

A Big Night for Freshman {Omaha Professional Photographer}

Creighton Prep hosted their homecoming for Freshman last night.  Here is one of my favorite captures from the beginning of the evening.  Of course, as a mom and a photographer I had my camera out. ;)

A Front Porch Mini-Session

So the other day on my 365 blog I wrote about Becca needing a 'recent picture' .  I mentioned on my facebook fan page that I had a quick mini-session with Becca to get a photograph of her that day to send in to her new highschool. (Because of course, you can't get much more recent than the present and because I'm a sucker for a photo op). :)  Anyway, as promised here are a few of the images from that day.  You can view some color photographs from this session by visiting the fanpage or clicking here.  Now all I have to do is choose which one I want to send in .....

Little Artists

The girls were into the paint today creating masterpieces. Lela is on me to frame and hang her work.  I need to buy a matte cutter.  She has recently been selling her paintings for $1- $3 dollars.  Becca, in these photos, had been recruited by Lela to clean her brushes while she painted.  What else are big sisters for?

Of course, silliness always ensues in whatever project Lela is involved in- she is SO her father's daughter. :)

Becca doing her designated 'job'.  I love it when my girls enjoy time with each other.

They had so much fun this afternoon.  The table has now been cleared off, paint and brushes put away and canvases - 4 to be exact- are drying on the counter.  The girls have moved onto their next project- avidly watching a movie downstairs munching on popcorn.  Wonder what their next adventure will be?  Visit my facebook fanpage by clicking on the link to the left or by clicking here to see more of their painting adventure.
