My turn for family photos 🍂

I don’t have the words for how much these photos mean to me. My whole world, my heart and soul, my everything. Family photos have a way of making you realize just how blessed you truly are!

I will cherish these photos forever, taken on David’s grandparents’ beautiful farm. Family pictures are not always easy (especially when they take place during harvest or nap time) but I know we’ll never regret making the time for them.

It truly makes me so much more appreciative of my own clients on the other side of it all. I see how much time and effort goes into preparing for a session, and it will always be my goal to help ease that burden as your photographer.

Thank you to all of you who trust me to capture such important moments of your own lives. And thank you to my insanely talented and sweet friend for doing the same for us.

With love, the Thompsons 🤎

What an absolute honor it is to introduce Mr. & Mrs. McDermott 🕊️

Yesterday was the kind of day you wish you could bottle up and keep forever — filled with so much love, laughter, happy tears, joy, and just a little bit of rain.

It’s one thing to know this sweet couple as family, but to be the one trusted to capture their wedding day was truly a gift.

Watching them surrounded by the people who have loved them, seeing the way they looked at one another, and witnessing all the little moments that made their day uniquely theirs was something I’ll never forget.

Here’s to a lifetime of the kind of love that was so evident yesterday. To growing old together, making a home, building a family, and always finding your way back to one another. 🤍

A huge thank you to my amazingly talented friend Madie G. | Omaha Wedding Photographer for allowing me to be fully present for the day and for capturing so many lovely moments.

There’s something so special about being invited to document the first hours of a baby’s life.

Maybe it means so much to me because every fresh 48 session brings me right back to the days I gave birth to my own babies — those hazy, tender hours when everything felt new, time seemed to stand still, and I could hardly believe the tiny person I had been waiting for was finally in my arms.

The sleepy snuggles.
The tiny fingers.
The brand-new baby smell.
The way a new mama looks at her baby for the very first time.

These are the moments you think you’ll remember forever, but somehow, they become a little blurry with time.

Getting to preserve them for other families is such an honor. I know just how quickly these days become memories, and I’ll never take it for granted that I get to help families hold onto them forever.

I’ve been seeing the conversations within the photography community surrounding AI, children’s images, and what it means to share our work online. I’ve taken some time to really think about where I stand, and I wanted to share that with you.

I will continue sharing images of the beautiful families and children I’m trusted to photograph as I always have—with permission.

I completely understand and respect the families and photographers who have chosen differently. The way technology is evolving can feel unsettling, and I believe every parent should have the freedom to decide what feels right for their own family.

For me, sharing my work is also an important part of my business. My photographs allow you to see the way I document connection, personality, motherhood, childhood, and all of those little moments you never want to forget.

With that said, your comfort will always come first.

There is no explanation needed and no hard feelings if you choose not to have your session shared. If you’re comfortable with me sharing, but would prefer certain images or more privacy around your child, I’m always happy to honor that, too.

And if an image I’ve shared in the past is no longer something you’re comfortable with, please reach out. I will always respect your wishes.

I’ll continue photographing the little faces, personalities, milestones, and in-between moments that make your family yours—and I’ll continue sharing that work when you’re comfortable with me doing so.

There isn’t a perfect answer for navigating the ever changing world of technology. For me, right now, this is the decision that feels right for my business while still giving every family complete control over whether their images are shared.

Your babies. Your memories. Your choice. Always. 🤍
