Leah's Senior Session

We have been so lucky this year to work with such cool High School Seniors! And here is the proof of another one! Check out some of the gems from Leah's session...















This is one of our faves...









We found this cool spot where a bunch of TV and computer monitors had been dumped. We used them to our advantage! We've since been back there and they are all gone! We love exploring places like this and knowing that the work we do can NEVER be recreated!












Thanks, Leah! You are so awesome!

Gabrielle's Senior Session

Another fantastic Senior Session! Meet Gabrielle! A beautiful dancer for the Omaha Ballet. She has actually decided to be a trainee at the Ballet this year and finish her Senior year online. And I had the opportunity to see why! Wow! She is great! I just got to see her in the Omaha Ballet's performance of Confetti at the Rose Theater over the weekend! It's on until October 26th. I totally recommend seeing it! You should check it out! http://www.rosetheater.org/























Thanks, Gabrielle! I can't wait to see you perform again!

Lindsey and Hassan Engagement Session

So Lindsey and Hassan...they were super fun! They kept laughing and smiling the whole time! I think they were pretty excited to see each other, because they had been living in separate countries for something like the last 3 months!






Hassan was so funny!




Smiley, smiley...




A stoic shot...This was such a fun little find! We've been really exploring some new areas lately and having so much fun finding them! It does wonders for our creative souls!









Can you believe we found this already on the wall?




What do you think of this composite shot? I think it is so fun! We love our job!

Melissa & Joe Engagement Session

Wow! Was this a fun shoot! Melissa and Joe. What a great couple! Melissa is a firefighter and took us to her station. We had a blast getting creative with the truck! Check these out!










I love this one! Andrey actually did his magic in Photoshop to make this composite from 2 separate images. There is also a fun look from the "Lens Baby!"




We wore Joe out trying to get this shot! What a trooper!














Not only can Joe jump off Fire Trucks, he can skate, too!









Thanks, guys! You are so cool! We can't wait to shoot your wedding!

Baby Addison

Look at this beauty! This is baby Addison! We had the lovely opportunity to photograph her because her mom, Rebecca, won a free Bebé Session with us from a drawing we had at Belly Bump here in Omaha! Check out the results of her winnings!





Look at these tiny toes! Addison was only a week and a half old when we did this session!



















Thank you Miss Addison! You were such a joy to photograph! Can't wait to see you again for your 4 month session!

Monika-Senior Pictures!

Monika was one of our model reps this year! We had so much fun during her session! First of all, she's gorgeous, but secondly, she was really great about letting us explore some new places downtown! Check out some images from her session!




We have a tendency to trespass occasionally and "appropriate" certain "props" for our shoots...During Monika's session we found this cool scooter that we incorporated into some shots. The images turned out great! We thought it was cool and kind of funny that we used the scooter. But, when we showed this image at our Open House at Urban Outfitters a couple of weeks ago, a funnier thing happened. Our friend, Paul Kulick (chef and co-owner of Amsterdam Falafel and Kabob in Dundee, YUMM!) came in and started laughing and pointing when he saw this image on a beautiful canvas. "That looks familiar!" he said. "Do you know Monika?" I asked him. "NO! That's MY SCOOTER!" he laughed! Andrey and I had no idea! (But, we do know NOW and we know where to find it when we need it! Look out, Paul! You better hide the keys!)

















We were excited to find this new spot! Isn't Monika beautiful? LOVE it!





Here's a fun little video we put together for Monika's facebook page! Check it out!

Thanks, Monika! You rock!

Kaulins Family Session

We love it when our clients come back to us again and again! Kelsi and Nick got married last year and came back with their family this spring for a family session! They were super cool!

Have you scheduled your family session yet? Get it done before the weather turns cold and have a favorite image ready for your holiday cards!







Aren't they so cool?












Love this one!




Thanks, guys! You were lots of fun!

Holly and Jared: Wedding Pics!

Well, I have to say that Holly and Jared are pretty cool. They, too, are photographers working together! Sometimes, when we photograph other photographers' weddings it can be a little challenging for them to let go and relax on the other side of the camera. But Holly and Jared totally trusted us to do our thing! Here are some of the great results from their special day!



Seeing each other for the first time...










The beautiful ladies...


The cool guys...


Everybody!


Andrey did this one...love this shot!






We had just a bit of time to run back to the train station for a few more shots after the ceremony...Wish we could have stayed all day! We love the color in these shots!








Oh, and THEN! DDR! (DANCE, DANCE, REVOLUTION, BABY!) As they entered the reception, they came right up to the front of the room for a dance off in front of their guests! It was so great!


They really are such a sweet couple and so in love!


Later, guys! We had a blast!

Brooke and Lucky!

Last month we had a great session with our friend Brooke and her dog Lucky! Brooke did a great job, and Lucky did, too!




Pre-teen and serious...


There's that great smile!







Thanks, Brooke! Good luck at all of your upcoming swimming meets!

03.28.2008 Marci and John

Last fall we shot Marci and John's engagement session and got to know them a bit. They were so much fun that we couldn't wait to photograph their wedding! Here are just a few of our favorites from the day!


Ahh...Zeus (at the engagement session)...an important member of the family!



Just the boys, hangin' out!





John and Marci were so smiley and happy! It was so fun to photograph them!





I love this shot! It was actually a pretty chilly day, but Marci was such a good sport!



We happened to find this cool retro bus downtown. The blue dresses look so awesome in front of the orange!





The daredevil men...Some drivers were particularly impatient that day! Yikes!







The beautiful Joslyn Art Museum...





Party on, guys! We had a great time!

Baby Carter

Welcome, Baby Carter!

Meet Carter, just 2 1/2 weeks old!



Look at how alert this little guy is!



A moody shot of mother and child...we wanted texture on the image to bring together the notion of nature and motherhood...



Love this shot! He was sleeping at the time, but right when we started shooting he opened his eyes and looked directly into the camera, AMAZING!



Little ear...



little toes...



little lips, little nose...



Thanks, Carter, for a wonderful experience! We had a great time!

Pro Bono Project for "All Our Kids, Inc"

All Our Kids, Inc is a mentoring/scholarship program in Omaha. Check 'em out at http://www.allourkids.org/ They brought 10 really cool young people to our studio for a shoot a couple of weeks ago. The images will be in their new brochure. Check 'em out!













These twin girls were so fun!





These two were the youngest of the group...just 6th graders!










This was one of the veterans of the group. She knew how to have fun with the camera!






Another vetran of the group. She did a great job, too!






The last to get in front of the camera, and look how stunning!






Although they weren't expecting it, we had to get the staff in a shot, too! They resisted a bit, but the kids talked them into it!



Thanks to All Our Kids, Inc. staff for sharing these amazing individuals with us! We had a really great time!
