Catch Up Time!

Things have been insanely hectic in my life lately which has allowed me zero time to blog.  I finally updated this with all of my recent photo shoots, and will be posting my first wedding this weekend! I usually share things in my life as they happen and have a lot to fill you in on! The last personal post i had on here i believe was from a visit to Colorado to visit my boyfriend, Matt, who had moved there from Omaha to pursue a job as a firefighter.

In March Matt’s mom invited me over for a simple visit. I walked into the kitchen and out popped Matt (who was supposed to be in Colorado), words can not describe how surprised i was. He handed me flowers and when i would ask why he was there he would say things like “i wanted to see you” or “i live here”. After being there awhile he finally told me that he was offered a job on the Fremont Fire Department, which is only about a half hour from Omaha. It still brings tears to my eyes thinking of that moment. Nothing in the world could have made me happier at that time then hearing that Matt would be moving home. It took me awhile to realize that i would no longer have to drive ten hours to see him. He moved home two weeks later and i jumped on the opportunity for one last trip to Colorado and to help move him home. While there his friends threw him a going away party. It was sad to say goodbye to everyone and i definitely miss being able to go there for visits as well as the people there, but we plan on many, many trip in the future.

There was a slight adjustment to Matt living in Omaha again. I didn’t wanna let go of him for a second, but eventually we got into a swing of things and i managed to share him with others 🙂

At first, Matt was traveling back and forth from Omaha to Fremont when he would work, and then he rented a room from a guy until he could find a more permanent place to live. A couple months later Matt decided that he wanted to get a hunting dog so he started looking for houses to rent in Fremont. As we were looking, we decided to rent a house together. A month ago we found a tiny little two bedroom house that fit Matt and i perfectly. For now we will stay here until Matt gets on a fire department that he wants more long term. It has been quite the adventure. We had to do a lot of work to make the house fit “us” but we are finally starting to enjoy being here and looking forward to the day we get the little puppy! Which will be maximum of three months..just waiting on the pups to be born. I couldn’t be happier with all the changes that have happened in the past couple months and look forward to what the future brings!

Now for a couple events that happened here and there that are worth sharing!

My gorgeous niece, Nova turned one…

A couple of us participated in the warrior dash and the color run..what can i say..we like to get dirty!

Family vacation to Okoboji…

Matt’s Turkey

Matt’s brother, John will be marrying Jamie this December. While we were in Okoboji we got a mini session in so that they could send save the dates out. I’m looking forward to getting some more pictures in once this weather cools down, as well as for their wedding come this December. Congrats again you two..much love!

My niece Nova just turned one! Unlike her older brother, Isaac, she is very comfortable in front of the camera. I wish i could photograph her all the time because she is so darling and delicate.

I have been photographing this little one for a long time now and she never fails to give me amazingly beautiful photos. My cousin Anya just turned four so we took a little trip to Boys Town Omaha for a quick shoot. Anya took over the camera. I barely gave her direction-she is on track for being a model, that’s for sure!

A big thank you to my dear friend Bridget for recommending me to her boyfriend, Zach’s, dad. Doug booked me to photograph his wedding to Michelle, which will be my first wedding! To capture this big family coming together we scheduled a pre-wedding family photo shoot. This family was a lot of fun to work with and its great to see the two families coming together and creating a strong bond.

Little baby Tessa was born on March 6, 2012 to my cousins David and Michelle. While they were in Omaha for a short visit i got to sneak in a photo session. She is simply a princess and i’m so happy that i got to capture her at such a tiny age.  Congratulations again, David and Michelle!
