Eva & Craig

Here are a few of my favorites from Eva and Craigs beautiful wedding at St. Cecilia's Cathedral in Omaha. Despite the wind, it was an absolutely gorgeous day for a wedding.

I LOVE the huge doors in front of the Church.

Price Check!!

I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I started Hocus Focus. I sure have come a long way since the days where I use to "practice" taking photos on my friends Christie's twin babies using a sheet tacked to the wall as a backdrop and a lighting rig consisting of Christie holding up a lamp. When I first started taking photos of children I had no idea that it would grow so quickly into a successful business that I get to enjoy every day.
Its been a long time coming but I am getting ready to release Hocus Focus version 2.0. I have been investing a lot of blood sweat tears and moola into learning new tricks in photography and photoshop so I can offer even more beautiful portraits to celebrate life. There will be lots of new exciting changes that you will be sure to love.
To accomodate for all of these changes you will notice in the next week that I will be changing all of my pricing on my website. If anyone has booked their appt. prior to that change then they will still follow the old pricing structure.
Stay tuned for other announcements and special blog-only discounts!!

Memorial Day Weekend

This past weekend I was at Camp Zoe in Salem, MO. It was a very much needed weekend of rest and rejuvenation. It was so great to be completely disconnected from cell phones and laptops and concentrate only on great friends, great music and great sandwich wraps.
Here is as close as we got to a group photo on the long drive to Missouri. Seth is driving, Chuck is riding shotgun, Couch is the extreme closeup and I'm pretty sure I'm in the rear view mirror if you look REALLY close. The rain created some really steamy weather when we first arrived.

Luckily Seth snagged this huge tarp and we made a blue house. And by "we" I mean Seth and Chuck. I just supervised from the dryness of the van.

We spent a great portion of our time down at the creek, which was my favorite place to be. There were crawdads everywhere.

My love!!!

Until next time....

Gina & Chris

Gina and Chris were married on the beach in Ocean City, MD in front of the beautiful Golden Sands Beach Club. Although rain ran us inside for portraits we were still fortunate for it to hold out until (almost) the end of the ceremony. Here are a few of my favorites from the day. Naturally the attracted a few spectators. They must have been having a party in 3B.

Drew & Nora

I met this sweet little family at Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue and we had a great time just wandering around the paths and chasing after Drew. It was a beautiful day for photos... here are some of my favorites. I love the concentration in this shot after I asked Drew how old he was.

This one is probably my favorite shot of the day.


Thanks for a great morning!

My Main Man Max!!

While I was in Maryland, my good friend Carrie organized an awesome portrait party at Sherwood Gardens in Baltimore. It is the most gorgeous park with beautiful beds of tulips all over. I'm going to try to post a few images of each family once I am finished editting them all but for now I want to concentrate on my favorite little man Max.
Here's a quick shot of Max and his little friends, Matthew and Payton. Carrie has to be the sweetest, most caring, patient woman I have ever met. She never ceases to amaze me! Max and his beautiful momma!

Max's dad Mike loves the orange tulips so we made sure to get lots of photos of those.



Love you guys!!
