The last of the summer senior shoots, Jocelyn chose to do hers in the Sunken Gardens. Yet another member of Nebraska Girls' Shakespeare Company, this young woman is going places!
Love this location <3
All of the color!
Piercing eyes.
Portraits: Gina

Gina, a field of flowers, a flowery dress, and golden light of Iowa's sunset = an awesome portrait shoot.
That light, though <3
Gaussian focus shift
We found a friend :)
Catherine Coffey
in portrait
I've been itching to post these since Catherine and I did this shoot this summer for her upcoming album (!!!). I am lucky to know this amazing human as a friend and as the talented artist she is. Check out her music page here and listen to her music on her Youtube channel here. Fun fact: she was one of the first senior photo shoots I did when I was still in high-school.

Tiauna - Class of 2015
Tiauna is going places. This young woman loves books, is involved in Slam Poetry at Lincoln High, and has performed at TedX Youth Lincoln. Like, woah. And to top it off her session was awesome. Life is good.
Radie
Gorgeous.

Alivia - Class of 2015
This woman is doing awesome things. She biked to Pioneers Park a lot growing up, so naturally we did her seniors there. So much positive energy and beauty in front of my camera!
Always barefoot.

That Midwestern sun and happiness <3
Film Roll
in personal
I like shooting with film. It makes me slow down and think more than I would if I was using my digital camera. Then there's the experience of getting your prints back. It's like opening a present except you're responsible for its contents. Some of them are crap, especially because I'm still learning how to meter light correctly. But the ones that work out are all the more valuable.
Shot from January - August 2014, vibrant color is naturally from the film

That one time Madysen and I did winter portraits in Wyuka and almost got frostbite.
Caught Luka in the middle of a yawn. Gorgeous golden winter light.

Rohda Family
One of my first major family portraits session, and what a great family to have in front of my camera! It was a perfect evening to capture the complete Rohda family together near their home, Harvest Home Farms. See more about their gorgeous farm here, and check out their booth at the Haymarket Farmers' Market (8th and P) on Saturdays.
Thank goodness both 2-year-olds and the 4-year-old were in a good mood for this shot :)
Shenanigans!
Siblings, a dog, and a cat. What a photogenic bunch!
The rodeo of trying to capture all three grandchildren. Such energy.
Joy.
A Day in the Life of a Cherry Tomato
in personal
A lot of cherry tomatoes and some evening inspiration. And my dog, who was mostly a willing model. Poor guy sees my camera and just gives up. <3 My mom has had a garden since I can remember, and this year is especially bountiful. The Earth is good.
My mother's hard-working hands
"This is not an all-natural beef treat as you led me to believe"
The whole tomato family and some accidentally picked green ones.
Support shelter dog adoption and you too can have a tomato-investigating furry tailed friend.
Maggie - Class of 2015
I loved this shoot so so much. We found a patch of lilies, gorgeous backlit greenery, and Maggie proved to be a pro in front of the camera. *click photos to enlarge*

Isabel and Alec - Class of 2015
This brother-sister pair was really fun to work with! Between IB, AP, theatre, soccer, and cross-country these two are busy beavers. Glad they managed to squeeze this shoot into their schedule! *click photos to enlarge*
Jump!

Given the location, I'm happy how these B&W photos turned out. I got my inspiration from a National Geographic gallery. Take a look at the gallery here.
