I'm excited to share these photos of adorable baby Olivia. She slept through her entire session and didn't make a peep. I think she was saving up so she could be awake all night with mom and dad! I'm sure they appreciate that. : )

Look how snuggly she is all swaddled up!

Oh my, that mouth is too cute.

Olivia's mom and dad clearly love her very much!

After meeting Emily it's hard to believe that she's only a senior in high school. She's outgoing, confident and mature beyond her years.

Emily, you're a classy young lady and it was a pleasure getting to know you!

This is Ali, a multi-faceted Millard West senior whose interests include playing tennis and the bass guitar. It's fun seeing the individual styles of each senior I photograph, because they are all so unique.

I love the piece of red hair peeking through.

Don't mess with Ali's tennis skillz.

More senior girls to come soon, so stay tuned!

The past 6 days have been a fabulous whirlwind of family togetherness. Last week my brother and sister-in-law flew in from Seattle for their first Omaha visit. We spent a couple of days hanging out and catching up before the four of us piled in the car and made the 7 hour drive to Peoria, IL. Then we spent Saturday at a family reunion with my dad's side of the family and then went to my mom's house on Sunday. Monday morning we piled back in the car and drove straight to the Omaha airport so Ryan and Haley could head back to Seattle. Whew!

Here are some highlights from our time in Omaha.

Pedestrian bridge!

Check out the sunset during our drive to Illinois. Gorgeous (and this photo is un-altered)!

The reunion on Saturday was held at a beautiful park in Chillicothe, IL right along the river. And what's a family reunion without croquet? I don't want to brag but I did win.

There's never a shortage of wine! And this was before dinner.

That's all for now! Today I am back to work and very busy uploading, editing, ordering, and mailing. So if you are waiting on something from me, just know that I am working on it : )

I'm so excited to post some photos of Blair's senior session. I have to say that she is a natural model and hardly needed any direction. She just knows how to strike a pose! We had fun wandering around in the Old Market finding good spots to shoot. 

It was really hard to narrow these down. But here's a small sampling from Blair's session.

Fave...

Isn't she beautiful?
