Betty M | Portrait

Hands. You hold them, you let another's caress your face, you see the stories by the wrinkles, and you feel the strength in someone else through them. Hands mend together our hearts with gentle touches and create masterpieces. Their subtle beauty is prevalent within this photoshoot - besides the obvious. That dress. For weeks before I decided to create my own, I had seen images upon images scrolling through my dash, all consisting of one singular aspect...a floral gown flowing down a runway. Taking a bed sheet from Walmart, cheap black lace, a huge bag full of fake flowers, and a random bodice from Amazon, my mother and I created this little masterpiece of our own. Betty was the only person I could imagine it in. She is very dear to my heart - I've photographed a few special moments in her life and I'm extremely happy to be a part of them. She's the sweetest person I know and I am so happy I got to create these images with her. Now onto the magic.

Alessia & Helene | Cody-Kilgore Unified Schools 2016 Seniors

It's not everyday I get to photograph seniors who aren't from the U.S.A.! These two young women are foreign exchange students at Cody-Kilgore this year. Alessia, from Italy, and Helene, from Norway, are the first BP!P seniors of 2016 and I had a wonderful time photographing them in Chadron, NE! We also got a few group photos with Erika, who's from Finland!

Sixty & Fabulous! | Portrait

Nothing like a black tie event to make a birthday party beautiful! And these wonderful people always know how to throw the best parties (see the Gatsby party from last year!). I loved the decor, the food looked delectable, and Andrea's party was held at the Bean Broker - perfect setting for all of this! Elegance and charm, all wrapped up in one fantastic evening. Enjoy!

Kylee & Holly | Engagement

I love when couples are just enchanted with each other. I love when they are constantly making each other laugh, which is great so no one has to hear my one joke (my past couples know the one ha!). These two were all that and more. We had some fun with this session, as it's not only my usual natural light session, but there's an added twist of artificial light! I rarely use the latter so it was a nice change of pace!!
