My goal during any family session is to capture genuine moments of connection. I want to see the laughter, the smiles, and the love that makes each family unique. With the Prieur family, this was easy! They were incredibly relaxed and playful, making my job a joy.

Summer sunsets hold an undeniable magic, and for Ava's senior portraits, we chased that golden light to Harlan County Lake in south-central Nebraska. The lake's serene beauty, bathed in the glow of a setting sun, was the perfect start to our adventure. Weeks later, we traded the tranquil waters for the vibrant energy of downtown Lincoln.

Let's break free from the traditional outdoor setting and embrace the comfort and joy of your own home. A family photography session in the familiar surroundings of your home can create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, perfect for capturing the essence of your family's unique bond.

One of my favorite ways to photograph families is to join them in their home environment where they can be truly themselves – and this in-home family session with the Harshman family is a perfect example of why I love these type of sessions so much!

Sunset is undeniably one of the most magical times of day to capture senior portraits. The soft, golden light creates a dreamy atmosphere that's perfect for showcasing a senior's personality and style.

When the Moss family expressed interest in capturing their family memories in Ashland, Nebraska, I couldn't wait to get started. Little did I know that this picturesque town would throw a curveball in the form of a relentless heatwave and an army of mosquitos.

Rather than trying to tame the chaos of life with young children, I’ve approached each session with the mentality that life as a young family is defined by spontaneity, adventure, with a touch of craziness.

Sometimes, the best memories are made in unexpected places. While on our journey to my wife's hometown in Minnesota, we couldn’t resist a little detour to Grand Forks, North Dakota. Our main goal? To catch up with my wife’s best friend, Breanna, and her adorable family.

With kids running wild and everyone eager to capture the perfect moment, corralling this large group for a single photo was quite a feat. Luckily, the Lemke family was blessed with ideal weather and a beautiful backdrop, making the chaos worth it in the end.

Capturing this family by the lake was pure magic. The kids were full of energy, the parents were relaxed and in love, and the light was simply perfect. Moments like these are what photography is all about.
