Beautiful

I title this blog, beautiful.  When you see this senior, you are going to see why...she is beautiful!!  I had a great time at this photo shoot.  First, I met Alyssa's mom through the military and she has the best sense of humor!   I am not even kidding.  She always makes me laugh and I know their household must be full of laughter!  This family has been told they should have their own reality TV show because they are very entertaining.  In our short time together last week, the interaction between mom and daughters was awesome!!  Alyssa is the first to be graduating and loves art and all things vintage.  I love her creative mind already!!  She wanted to take pictures in the Old Market Park in Omaha and I jumped at the opportunity.  With the sun going down more quickly in the evening, we worked swiftly between the end of a school day and sunset, but embraced the city art, bridges, and landscapes.  :)

Here is a sneak peek of this gorgeous senior!!




There were lots of great pieces of art to get creative with...







Such a fun personality!!!

A great surprise!!






Last photo...time to call it...we lost the sun.  :)  Beauty at dark. 


Thanks Alyssa and family for brightening my day!  I had a blast and I hope you have a wonderful senior year and graduation!!  Looking forward to hearing where life takes you!  Class of 2013!!  

XO,

Jodi

One year flies by...

It is true!  Time flies!!  That is the case with the newest portrait session as I gazed into the eyes of a one year old!  One year ago, I was photographing her mom at 38 weeks!  It doesn't seem possible that Violet can be already celebrating that first milestone.  And, that her other daughter, Alice just turned 4!!    Seriously, don't blink.  :)

I had such a awesome time with this family.  Mitch and Stephanie are great parents and wonderful people.  Stephanie and I go way back.  We were teammates on our high school cross-country/track teams and as fate would have it, we were both placed in Omaha 10+ years later!!  It has been so much fun to reconnect and embrace this new stage in life...family, kids, continued friendship.

Okay, all reminiscing aside, this photo shoot was fun!  Violet and Alice were so well mannered and fun to work with.  It was a chilly day, but we did our best to move quickly and attempted to capture the last little bit of fall leaves before winter officially settles in.   Here's a quick peek!




Sisters.





Isn't this the sweetest?  





Stephanie and Mitch!!  You have a beautiful family full of blessings!  May you have a wonderful holiday season and love you much!!  Thanks for allowing me to capture a few moments!!

Hugs,

JS
