Adam, Myra, Jack & Baby Girl

Adam & Myra are a hard couple to forget.  I was incredibly lucky enough to be chosen as their wedding photographer a little over two years ago.  You might remember this:

As magical as their wedding was, what's even better is they have now begun their family, first with little Jack, and now they're awaiting their [sure to be beautiful] Baby Girl.

For the most part, I, pretty much, forced them into this session.  (What can I say?  They really are such an awesome family!)  Mama Myra had adorable visions of Little Jack snuggling up on her belly, but let's face it, and as I've said before, the best laid plans often go astray.  Jack was a tired little boy upon his arrival and promptly fell asleep:

This gave Mama & I plenty of time to photograph her alone.  And you know what she said?  She's not photogenic.  Let's just take a 'lil look-see and I'll let you form your own opinions on THAT:

Then we brought Adam, Baby Daddy, and one of my oldest friends, into the photos and, well, these ought to speak for themselves.  Enjoy!

Gosh, it's really too bad they take such *terrible* photos!  ;)

Congratulations, Adam & Myra (and Jack)!  May you continued to be blessed.

Cheers and lots 'o love,
jennie

Kayla & Jeremy | Omaha Engagement Photographer

I have known Kayla's aunt, Jamie, for quite some time.  (She's another creepy internet friend - - dang, it's a miracle I haven't been offed yet!)  We became fast friends once we met in person, bonding over our love for Olive Garden's soup, salad & breadsticks and wine.  Jamie's great; she's the type of person who will do anything for you, like get you business cards in, oh, 45 minutes because you've procrastinated for weeks and have a networking event in 2 hours.

Last Fall, I finally got to meet Jamie's whole family for a portrait session at the studio and this included meeting her niece, Kayla, and her fiancé, Jeremy.   After leaving, Jamie called and told me Kayla just HAD to have me for her & Jeremy's engagement session.  I wasn't sayin' no; I don't get enough of these!

I am so, so glad they chose me.  We had a TON of fun.  Past the fun, though, I was able to see that Kayla and Jeremy are much like their aunt; good, genuine, do-anything-for-anyone kind of people.  And boy, do they LOVE each other.

Ditmars Orchard, once again, provided the perfect backdrop for their sunset session.

Joey, Lisa, Elaine, Sammy & Vince | Omaha Family Photographer

Joey & Lisa were referred to me by some really great people, Mike & Mollee and Mike & Anna.   I owe these two couples a HUGE, public "thank you."  They refer so many wonderful, laid-back people my way and Joey & Lisa were no exception.

Joey & Lisa are parents to Elaine, a sweet-as-pie little girl; Sammy, a definite free spirit; and Vince, one of the cutest little hunks I've ever seen.  It's apparent how much Joey & Lisa love their children and each other.  And the way Lisa laughs out loud, without reservation, is heart-warming.

I met this fam at Ditmars Orchard, just as the peach trees were beginning to bloom.  If you're ever looking for a great family day in the Omaha metro, Ditmars is perfect.  The owners are incredibly welcoming (Lyle is with a group of attorneys my mom works for and is who gave me the heads-up about the blooming peach trees); there is a myriad of fruit trees (apples, peaches, cherries); strawberry fields (forever!); tractor rides; playground for the children; picnic tables; hot air balloon festivals; and they even have their very own wine.  You're not going to go wrong with this location attraction.

Enjoy!

Sean, Lindsey & Baby Keane | Omaha Lifestyle Photographer

I first met Lindsey (in person; we've been creepy internet friends for years) last Spring when I suckered her into joining us Bingo Studios girls in our new space.  Lindsey is a great photographer and we're grateful we found someone who meshed with the rest of the group so well.

Being a photographer herself, she values pictures. . . big time.  I first photographed them last September for their "announcement" pictures.

Since then, we Bingo girls have all had more turns taking their photos.  Christine took maternity & newborn pictures in the hospital; Niki took formal newborn images; and then, because I think Lindsey felt bad for me, she asked me to do lifestyle images at their home a few weeks after Keane was born.  ;)

Introducing Keane (for like the 5th time)!
