Kori's Vintage Shoot | Omaha Portrait Photographer

This vintage maven is Kori. I approached her with the idea for a shoot inspired by E.J. Bellocq. (NSFW) Kori takes all the credit for styling this shoot (she's wearing her wedding dress!) and making it come to life.

Doesn't she look just like Bettie Davis?

Jessica Errett | Omaha Band Photographer

I wish I was better with words because I would tell you how amazing it was to do this shoot with better and more through detail. But, I'm a terrible blogger so I'll just sum it up like this:

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHDAMN!!!!!!

Getting to work with Jessica was such an awesome and challenging experience. It feels good to push myself at my job & create something new (and kinda bizarre) that makes me really, really proud.

Brooke - Senior Photos - Omaha Senior Photographer

BROOKE! During the emailing and arranging of brooke's photos, at no time did anyone mention that she's a total rockstar. Her session was beyond fun. It was amazing. It was one of those nights that I felt so alive and so in the moment. I was exactly where I was meant to be, with exactly the kind of client I dream of. I swear, she said to me, "Can I take my picture in front of that Batman sign?" and I felt like we were soul mates. I had a major superhero obsession in high school and I felt like we were channeling each other. :)

Kait and Jake's Engagements!

I loved hanging out with Kait and Jake! They were funny, easy going and I'm really excited for their rustic style wedding in the Fall. They also brought me a glass bottle Coke to the shoot as part of some picnic props we used. The way to my heart is through caffeine and sugar. I was very impressed with Jake's manly know-how when we realized that we didn't have a bottle opener and he popped open our sodas on the side of a fire hydrant.

Scout - One Year Old!

Here's a few shots of sweet little Scout and her family. I am absolutely in love with her name. It just suits her so well - Cute beyond words.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I'm finally back into a bit of a routine with work and life. I grossly underestimated the amount of time a baby will take up! Who knew that Lennon would want constant, 24 hour a day care and attention?

I have a few sessions from this Fall that I never got around to posting. One was Nikki's senior photos. Everything went perfect during this session. Nikki was fun and beautiful, the weather was perfect, and the scenery was gorgeous. I was massively pregnant (like 37 weeks) but made it work. (Let me tell ya, working without a giant belly now is so much easier.)

A Few Updates and Family Day Peeks!

If you're on the blog today you might notice that it looks a little different. And if you're not reading from the blog and you didn't notice... Well, it looks different. I'm getting ready to roll a couple things out. On Monday night the blog and site will be merging and everything will be accessible at christinemcguigan.com.

The other change will be an adjustment to packages and pricing. Session prices are going up a bit but the big change is going to be to the wedding packages. I'm starting to see what works and what doesn't as far as package options, so I'm simplifying big time on those! As always, anyone under contract for a wedding or anyone who has already booked a session for the fall will still be guaranteed the old pricing.

And speaking of fall sessions... I have about a week left of sessions then I'm taking the remainder of my pregnancy off. I'm due at the end of the month and it is getting to be nearly impossible for me to maneuver around during sessions! And once I'm down on the ground to get a shot, I'm pretty much stuck down there. Feel free to still contact me if you're hoping to book something before Christmas. I'm taking a limited number of appointments in late November.

Here's a peek at the families that came out last weekend for holiday mini sessions. I had a lot of fun with everyone and I'm working hard to get everyone's photos done as soon as possible!

Addison's 9 Month Photos

I've photographed Addison and her family a few times now and she just gets exponentially cuter every time I see her. I really love getting to see the kids and babies I photograph grow over the months and years. It's definitely one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. I feel like I get to be a part of their lives and help share in all those important mile stones.

I'm getting all weepy... It's the pregnancy hormones talking.

And speaking of, I'm going to have to stop taking bookings in mid October so please email me soon if you're wanting to get your photos done before then. Otherwise, I can't guarantee we'll be able to get a session taken care of before the winter holidays. Thanks!
