Hello friends! I hope you’re all doing well, and that you’ve had a great year so far! I am coming to you today with some mixed emotions, and an announcement. I am stepping back from photography - for now at least. While I love taking your photos, my number one (and favorite) job is being a mom to our three kids. Three kids that are busy, and active, and cannot drive themselves anywhere 😉. Right now my family needs me, and this time with my kids at home is fleeting - each day they grow up a little bit more need me a little bit less, and I want to savor this season of life.

I have *loved* taking your photos and being a part of so many special times in your lives. As I’ve been reflecting while making this decision, it really dawned on my how many big moments I’ve been a part of - new babies, new relationships, new homes, pregnancy announcements and gender reveals, surprise proposals, engagements, marriages, so many family photos, extended family that sees each other rarely, saying goodbye to high school, saying goodbye to college, saying goodbye to a beloved family member. So much life has happened in front of my camera lens, and I am *forever* grateful to have been a part of something so special. Having the privilege of creating art out of one of your moments in time is incredible. I have laughed, cried, cheered, mourned, and loved with you all. Thank you for trusting me with your memories over the years.

Special shout out to my *last* clients for surprising me with confetti poppers and putting me in front of the lens! 🩷

To all of my clients waiting on albums - I hope to be caught up fully by the end of the week. I thank you so much for your patience and grace.

Our daughter Emma shows club lambs, and wrapped up her season this past weekend at the Nebraska State Fair. It is a full family sport, and the majority of my energy has been spent there lately. Thank you again, and a great big congrats to Emma & Ken on a very successful show career together. We'll miss you Kenny 🩷

Fun fact about me - I am in my fourth, and final, year on the Board or Directors for the Kearney Area Children's Museum. My family's favorite perk is being able to explore new exhibits when the museum isn't open to the public. My kids love having the museum to themselves! We just reopened our newly updated STEM Studio, be sure to stop in and check it out if you're local!

If you're interested in joining the KACM Board, and getting more involved in our community, reach out to me and I will get a board application sent your way!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful mothers, grandmothers, Godmothers, moms-to be, mother-like figures, and those hoping to become a mother. You are all such an integral part of our world. I am forever grateful for my mom-tribe, I couldn't do life without you!

Yesterday I was fortunate to witness the marriage of Carly & Gage. One of the most special moments of my day was taking this photo of 5 generations of Ohnoutka women. These beautiful, kind, funny, amazing women (mothers!) and girls are part of such an incredible family - so much love in one photo. 🩷

Last night was so special to me. I was able to photograph my dad with his ‘48 Ford that he has restored over the years.

My great grandpa Tom was the original owner of this vehicle, and dad recovered it from a field at my mom’s family farm many years ago. The ‘48 has moved with them all over the country, and retirement has granted dad the time to finish it.

I love you dad, and I’m so thankful your project car is finally complete 🥰
