Heartland Huskies Gallery

I love that I get to take all the sports photos for our local school – Heartland Community Schools – especially now that my kids are in junior high and high school! All photos are free to download and share; there is also a store attached to the gallery where you can order prints or […]

Since 1956, Heartland Community School (formerly Henderson) has hosted a band fundraiser called Smorgasbord. It’s the only fundraiser for band each year and helps to pay for new uniforms, travel, and so on. Smorgasbord is defined as a buffet of a wide variety of foods…in Henderson, that means German food (and all the calories that […]

Our family spends most of May and June at a ball diamond somewhere.  My husband and I are on the Recreation Committee for our small town, which means helping with concessions and sometimes cleaning or setting up fields. This year, we have all three kids in ball – tee ball, softball, and baseball.  Tee ball […]

On Monday, I hung out with Luke and Joanne and the kids as they prepared and ate supper. I was super impressed that Luke often helps out with preparing supper – my husband’s idea of preparing supper is going through the buffet line at the Chinese restaurant! 🙂  Joanne made the most amazing bread to […]

Because we live in Nebraska and the weather is unpredictable, we ended up postponing our Saturday session to Sunday and doing two sessions on Tuesday instead. Joanne really wanted some outdoor photos (they love doing outdoor things as a family!) but the weather just wasn’t cooperating – no one wants to be outside when its […]

Ask any parent what their bedtime routine is like and they will likely say “crazy!”. With more than one kid, it’s lots of back and forth and basically just making sure that everyone is on track to get to bed on time! I joined the Haidle family for the end of bath time through getting […]

On day 2, I was at the Haidle’s house right after school so that I could photograph their after-school routine.  I imagine that most moms can relate to these photos: Legos, snacks, homework, changing clothes, and a bit of frustration. I know that this is often how our afternoon goes! I was impressed that Joanne […]

Last month, I took on my biggest client project yet: a Week in the Life of a family.  I do photography projects like that all the time with my own family, but I wasn’t quite sure how it would look to follow another family around for that long of a time period.  We settled on […]

This Fresh 48 session was a little sweeter to photograph than the others, simply because Isabel is the newest baby in our family!  We were all anxious for my brother, Bret, and sister-in-law, Laura, to become parents – my kids love having cousins close by.   I spent about an hour with Bret, Laura, and […]
