With Ben and Renee’s due date coming up here in a couple days, I thought I’d share some of my favorite photos from their maternity shoot we did when we visited Catalina Island back in February. I love these photos, I love these two, I can’t wait to meet their little girl! Special shoutout to my wife Amanda for her makeup she did for this shoot too! (amandaleeartistry.com)
Of the Earth Florals
Cassie, Jared and Baby Uecker
I love getting the honor to photograph milestones in people’s lives, especially really good friends! The Ueckers and I drove out to the rolling hills in Iowa to take some maternity photos in such a beautiful area with some amazing light from the man upstairs. I really love how these photos turned out and I can’t wait to meet the little guy here in a couple more months! Lastly, Amanda did such a wonderful job on this makeup as well! Enjoy!
Nick + Bailey
Nick and Bailey’s wedding was on a Thursday evening at Glacial Till Vineyard and everything about it was perfect. They wanted to mix things up from a normal wedding day routine, which was really fun to see it all come together. Right after their first look, they helped with finishing touches of each other’s attire, they had a family style dinner outside on long picnic tables and then had their ceremony afterwards so they could have it at sunset which was absolutely amazing! I’m so happy to have been apart of their day and so happy to see the work that God does through the two of them! Enjoy!

O'Tillie Farm Dinner
It’s always a privilege to help out our good friends at O’Tillie with their Kinfolk dinners they put on! The food is always so good, especially when they do collaborations with other local food vendors to incorporate in to some of their dishes! At this dinner they teamed up with Carter and Rye for their meat pies and their take home pastries, they were delicious!! It’s also always so fun to see complete strangers come together around the dinner table and converse with each other and enjoy each other’s company! Check out these handful of photos from their latest dinner at the beautiful Mullein Hill Farm!
O'Tillie Backyard Dinner
I love my family. I love hanging out with them, playing with each of their kids, watching them grow as parents, in their careers, staying updated on their lives and staying close with one another. We get together at my parents house in Lincoln just about every Sunday afternoon to eat lunch and enjoy each other’s company, for the most part ;) So when my wife, Amanda, had the idea to have a dinner with family and friends in their backyard, it was very fitting for us! Our good friends at O’Tillie Pork and Pantry have small dinners that they host about every other month and the focus of them is to gather and enjoy other people’s company around the dinner table, so it was perfect to have them put on a dinner for all 19 of us! We loved every minute of it, even when it rained towards the end, hence the Handmaid’s Tale look haha! We look forward to many more special times together! Enjoy!
Wax Buffalo
I’m excited to share with you all the Wax Buffalo story! I loved getting to work with Alicia and hearing the story of how it all started and where they are at today and the amazing team of women she has that drives their business! Check it out!
Jes + Will Family Shoot
Our really good friends Jes and Will asked us to come take a few photos of them in their cute Piedmont home this fall! This was our first in-home photo session we've done and we would love to do them more often, but there definitely couldn't have been a better couple to first try it out with! Their home is beautiful, their dogs are adorable and Jes and Will are so easy going and fun to be around that it made it all that much easier and better for us! Enjoy!!
Select Style Fall Photoshoot!
So a couple weeks ago our friend Meghan Ehrke asked us to help take photos for her upcoming fall look book for her shop Select Style in Lincoln. Here are just a few of our favorites from that day, can't wait to see the final product!
