The De Rozairo Family - Omaha Professional Photographer

I was so happy this Saturday when I woke up and the weatherman's forecast from the week before- and every night since then- rang true!  The sun was shining and the temperature, although a bit cool, was relatively mild for so late into the fall.  The Saturday before this, the De Rozairo family and I had planned a family session but between the overcast skies, the racing wind (truly, I felt like I was starring in The Wizard of Oz), chilly temps and drizzles we had to reschedule.  I've been crossing my fingers ever since.   I have really been looking forward to photographing this family.  We've been talking about it for awhile and so I was excited to wake up Saturday to see that it was going to work out.  Here's just a few of the images from our time together.  What a gorgeous looking family!

Headshots with Imagene - Omaha Professional Photographer

Who's Imagene?  Well, if you've been following the blog long enough you might already know but for those of you who are new here this post is where she has her first honorable mention.  Alright...so I name my camera.  It's cool. 

Anyway, I was asked to photograph an urban headshot session by some amazingly talented opera singers, Jennifer and Brandon  so they could have some updated headshots.  I was thrilled to work with them.  I was super excited because they traveled from South Dakota just to work with me! Talk about make somebody feel special. :) 

It was such a super fun session!  Imagine....Jennifer's heel getting stuck in a crack down in the Omaha Old Market and instead of a gasp escaping her mouth an amazing scale of beautiful notes came trinkling out.  Meanwhile, Brandon was singing quietly on and off throughout the couple hours we spent together.  I was loving every minute of it!  Best part?  Imagene LOVED them.  It's always nice to photograph beautiful people.  They definitely fit the bill.

Thank you, Jennifer and Brandon, for the opportunity to photograph you, for traveling to Omaha from South Dakota to work with me, for the fun time and laughs and especially for the talent that you shared with my ears that day.  I wish you all the best in your endeavors and I cannot wait for the opportunity to see your next performance!

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.

8th Grade Grad {Omaha Professional Photographer}

Here are some photographs from another FUN 8th Grade Grad Session!  My 8th grader tells me she only has 18 more 'wake up' days before school ends.  Time does fly!  I chose to share a few of [T]'s color images here on the blog.  If you would like you can visit my fan page and view some black and white photographs from this session.  Just click here.  Enjoy!  As always, I love to hear from you so please leave me some blog love! <3
