Rehearsal: Maddie & Mattie

What a joy to spend even more time with the families of Maddie&Mattie in Bellevue, NE before the big day i! From a spunky nana, foxy dog and melting glasses all wrapped in rainbow cake-I am pretty sure a rad time was had by all.

I felt so blessed to not only get to be a part of it, but to document it! While editing, I kept thinking how fun this would be to look back on years after they are married. To see what the familiar house, the smiles of people during that time-let alone the clothing styles. I'm pretty sure it's something I want done for my wedding as well.

Well enough of my prattling on.

As a big daddy's girl myself, this shoot was so exciting to me from the get go! The beautiful Carmen Stunkenholtz , Bellevue hair stylist and jewelry maker  (fabulous by the way~!) gave this shoot to her boyfriend Nate for fathers day last year. Look for her cameo in the end! What a genius idea, I wish my mom would have done something like that for me and my pop (someday perhaps!).

To say Bella was sassy and in charge, not a lot unlike a certain photographer, would be an understatement. I felt like I was challenging the younger Britni during this whole shoot. Being a complete clown one minute, then a serious fierce super model the next!! What a treat.

The shoot is named after a cute story Bella was telling on the way home, inspired probably from the last part of the shoot. 'Twas perfect for the whole feel. Warm. Nostalgic. And fanciful.

Bookworms, 'Skers and flowers alike, ENJOY!

expecting: timaree goertzen + brynlee grace

My second maternity shoot this year was one I have been looking forward since before the couple even knew me! One of my best friends (Natalie....now miss Natalie Fowler-can't wait to show y'all the wedding pictures) sister, Timaree's news of a baby girl on the way inspired Natalie and I to for sure have me to do the shoot! Half a year later, we created something beautiful along side Timaree and Jonathan.

So many prayers and love have been forwarded to this couple, and I felt so blessed to be apart of that love and prayers in the form of a beautiful maternity shoot!

Thank you.
