Your wedding day is quickly approaching. And that means pretty soon someone is going to be snapping a boatload of pictures of you and your dearly beloved. Are you prepared to have a camera aimed in your direction for hours on end? It probably isn’t something you’re used to– unless you’re a hotshot celebrity. If you’re not, there’s a chance you may feel like one on your big day! So, the question is, do you know how to look your best for the camera? I have put together a list of what I believe to be the most important ways to ensure that you’re camera-ready:
1. Be yourself! This is a must do… it’s YOUR day. Relax, enjoy getting pampered, and soak in every minute of it! All of the planning is finally over– now it’s time to take it all in! By relaxing and savoring all of these special moments you will exude confidence. Believe me when I say you will be the most gorgeous person in the room!
2. Practice smiling :). This may sound awkward and silly… but sit in front of your mirror and smile at yourself. Smile as big as Miss America on pageant day!
3. Whiten those teeth! Easy peasy. Crest white strips are cheap and will get the job done.
4. Treat yourself to a manicure. It’s time to show off that new bling, girl!
5. Hair and make-up trial. Do this… please. A practice run (or even two) will relieve so much anxiety on your wedding day. It is much easier to tell your hairdresser you’re not digging your ‘do’ a week before your wedding rather than on the day of. Trust me on this… it is 100% worth it!
6. LOL! Seriously! You need to be prepared to laugh out loud. I make all my clients do this. A laugh that can be heard makes a world of difference in your photos.
7. Get into position. To make your neck look more elongated, drop your shoulders and raise your chin. Imagine that you are being pulled upwards from the top of your head by a string.
8. Love yourself. I saved the best for last, as this is definitely the most important thing on the list. Every single bride is beautiful on this day, regardless if you consider yourself to be too plain, not thin enough, not tan enough, etc. You are about to marry the love of your life! Trust me, you will look stunning. Accept it, believe it and be confident; the camera will see it :).
Aren’t the differences between men and women funny? What else would a groom want to do before reciting his vows than toss a football around on the beach with his groomsmen?!
Here’s a little sneak peek of Chelsea getting ready for her big day! She’s a stunner! Stay posted! More sneak peeks to come!
What a fun shoot! Codi and Jeremiah are too cute and just my style! We found the sweetest farm just on the outskirts of Omaha, which was a perfect setting for this fun and flirty engagement shoot. This is just a sneak peek so stay tuned for their full session!
Here’s to fields of flowers, bumblebees, birds chirping, grilling out, the smell of sun tan oil, curtains blowing in the wind, long walks, pushing swings, hair blowing in the wind, windows down, music up, singing like you mean it, dresses, the ice cream man and loving life! #happyspring
Nature’s sweet treat!!
Here’s your daily dose of pretty!
Look at this little beauty! I had the honor of taking pictures of sweet Anna. Let’s just say she is as sweet on the inside as she is on the outside! Love her!
Where did fall go? She came and went so quickly! Come BACK!!!
I found this little beauty while putting air in my tires. She’s chubby and I ❤️ it!
Oh happy day!! Look what I found in my coffee! So cute! I wanna eat it!!
Love and light!

About two years ago I started seeing hearts all over the place. I would start to see several a day so it was natural to start wondering if there was a reason or a message there for me. I started taking note of what I was doing, thinking and feeling when I came upon a heart somewhere and I did notice some patterns forming. I now see at least one a day and it reminds me that life is all about doing what you love and loving what you are doing. It’s about living in gratitude and finding the good in every situation. And of course, being that these are hidden hearts, it’s about love. It’s about love for yourself and where you are, love for others and the journey they are on. Love for every living thing. In short, it’s about living in the moment and in the knowledge that everything is connected. So here is ‘A Hidden Heart a Day!’
-Love & Light
