WELCOME TO THE LEPD BLOG!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! This is where I give families sneak peeks of their fabulous sessions and rant and rave above the amazing job I have! I LOVE what I do, capturing love moments of babies, families and everything in between!

Now a little about MOI....

First and foremost, I am richly blessed!! I'm a servant of the Lord and He is the reason I am able to do what I love. I'm a wife to the most hilarious, gorgeous man I know. Mom to two toddlers...yep you heard me right!!! I'm lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mom and spend every waking moment with my "littles". I love watching my kids grow and learn, it's so rewarding!

Now because of my Lord and Savior giving me such a wonderful gift, and an extremely supportive and loving husband, I have chosen to share it with the world (well maybe just my little world!!) I've been able to share my gift for a over a year and half and what an AMAZING time it's been!! I serve the surrounding Omaha area, but also available for some travel. Please inquire with questions, availability and pricing!

Thanks again for stopping by my beautiful world! Hope to see you soon!

Oh and I LOVE comments, so take a moment to leave some love! It completely makes my day :-)

Blessings,

CUTEST KIDS ON THIS EARTH!!

I rarely if ever post my kids are here for 2 reasons...one I have my family blog to do so and two I rarely get to have sessions with them because as any photographer out their knows your own children are the hardest! But I couldn't resist sharing my little peanuts, love them to pieces!



Caleb 3 1/2 Adrienne 2
This is the best picture I've ever gotten of him...I love his lips, his smile, his most adorable personality, his ticklish self, how much he's starting to look like his dad, how incredibly intelligent he is, his ridiculous memory and how he remembers EVERYTHING we say. He makes me smile all the time!
My little crazy girl. It's kind of an understatement, but I think if my kids were both exactly the same I wouldn't enjoy it as much. I love her new laugh, deep and silly; how much she loves to perform now, "I love you" is her favorite these days; how much her vocabulary has blossomed in the last 6 months. Her cute little accent makes me smile. Her long blonde hair that she always brushes off her face. Her wide chunky bottom(she DID NOT get from me!). How motherly she is, baby Stella gets so much love an attention these days! She makes me laugh and laugh and makes me be a better mommy!
90% of the time they can't stand to be apart! The other 10% is just what happens when you have children 17 months apart!!
:-)
I don't want them to grow up anymore :-( (Although I would like potty training done, but this age is beyond fun!)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, we were stuck in Sioux City with 22 inches and 12 ft. snow drifts, it was crazy! Will post tons of family stuff on my family blog soon. Hope you enjoyed my little blessings!

My aunt and her dog...

We did something fun this year...half faces! Worked good for Lucy because she didn't want to look at me anyway. Didn't want to post til after the holidays because we did these for their Christmas card. So fun!




I call her Lucifer, she doesn't like me because I have 2 children who take all the attention away from her :-) But she is the cutest dog in the world!

Kruse Family :-)

Alex is a regular on my blog, because his parents rock!! We met up on Sat. for a super quick 15 minutes in the snow...so fun! Alex was having a blast :-)

I'm not sure how to explain how much I love these guys! Maria is one of my dearest, closest friends, she's just awesome! They have been one of my biggest supporters, so to end my year with them was so perfect :-) Yesterday, my husband asked my daughter who her best friend was and she said "Alex". We're hoping for marriage in the future :-)
Snowballs bring pure joy...after a few throws at everyone we were done :-) He does so great for me!
I love you guys and I can't thank you enough for your support, friendship and love. Means the absolute world to me! Enjoy your "couples" trip and your christmas vacation back home, can't wait to see you when you get back!

It's not too late :-)

I recently opened up shop on Etsy to sell my digital cards. I wasn't planning on opening until 2010, but had some holiday designs from last year, so I slipped pics in changed some wording and uploaded. I wasn't planning on making the announcement and working on it until my winter break, but thought I'd feel it out for a couple weeks and see how it goes. My goal is to create and upload a slew of different designs after the new year, from baby announcements, birthday, invitations, to graduation announcements.

If you still need a holiday card, stop on in and check out the designs I have. If you've never ordered on Etsy it's super simple. Read the directions on the shop page or once you click on a design. If none of those float your boat, email me and I can create one for you. These can be done in a matter of hours and uploaded to your favorite lab and printed in no time. (If it makes you feel any better, although mine are printed they have yet to be sent out...the photographer is always last!).

Now you know one of the multiple things I'll be doing this break! Thanks for checking it out :-)

Thanks so much for letting me capture your adorable family, they were wonderful!!

Swan Family

Ahhh so sorry this took so long, darn internet! You can look back at all the Swan's sessions here, here, and here. Such wonderful, amazing friends and clients. Little Asher just keeps getting cuter :-) And he is by far the most well behaved 2 year old I've ever had. We had a windy Sunday morning but he was ready to say cheese and show me his muscles! I had such a great time!!



I can't thank you guys enough for letting me capture your family again and again! You are such blessings, and Asher is one amazing little man!

:-(

I have not had internet for 5 days, so if you're waiting for a CD in the mail, I sent out 6 on Sat. so you should be getting them and if you're waiting for an email or sneak peek I'm hoping the internet will be nice tonight and I can get it all accomplished. Thanks for your patience!

Brooke...Papillion LaVista South High School

Brooke is a referral from Erin, my only other PL senior, so this was our first meeting and wow did we have fun! It was quite the interesting session. A train actually came through the station and was sooo loud, along with photographers following us around at every spot, a tow truck dragging a car that was so loud and smelled so bad!

We had an absolute blast and had one of the last nice days! I think she is my last 2010 which just makes me sad :-(



For some reason BW head shots are my fav at the moment :-)

And this is why I love seniors at sunset!! Brooke's a soccer player (obviously!) I love this image!
Brooke, thanks for hanging out with me, you were so much fun and such a sweet girl!! Hope you love them and I'll be in touch soon!

My nieces :-)

My nieces are back in town for a year and half and this is the first of, I'm sure, many sessions with them. Sydney is 2 1/2 and Salem is 6 months, such fun ages.

I don't ever do this but this photo was screaming for me to do so. I LOVED their outfits!


Sydney is a ham. The ONLY way I can get pictures of her is if I chase her around, like most 2 1/2 year olds. Luckily I am quick! I think this is one of my favorite pictures ever!
Salem has the biggest eyes and is officially telling you what's up, she's a screamer! So cute, it's so fun having a baby around again.
Peek-a-boo...another game to get her to stop for 2 little tiny seconds.
