When Tara, one of my best friends for over 10 years, called me to tell me that not only was she pregnant, but pregnant with TWINS, I was beside myself. There are people who may think that I am not a very emotional person, but I have a secret... I AM! I cry at sappy movies, get worked up over injustice, laugh until my sides hurt, and get down when I see others hurting. Being so close, well, Tara and I have experienced all of the above together, and I treasure every single memory. So, I was ecstatic when she emailed me about coming to Omaha to photograph the beautiful baby boys that she and her husband Travis just brought into this world.<br />
<br />
Photographing twins is no small feat. It takes teamwork...just like raising them, and Tara and Travis are already showing how amazing they are as parents. I am in AWE. Seriously. Passing Emmett and Jack back and forth, tossing wipes to clean up after accidents, stopping for snack breaks, calming one down while the other got his pictures done...well, it was an eventful couple of hours.<br />
<br />
So, here are Tara and Travis's beautiful little boys. It was such a joy to be part of this special day!<br />
<br />
Love to you all!<br />

<br />
Little Miss D. and her mom met me out at our beautiful Mill Race Park this evening after having to reschedule our session from Wednesday when the wind was blowing 45 MPH. Luckily, the weather could not have been more perfect for our shoot this evening. The locusts were singing their fall tune, and the colors of autumn colored our scene with their vibrant hues of gold, orange, and red. <br />
<br />
Decked out in her leopard print and polka dotted outfits, this little darling was quite the character. We touched the soft prairie grasses, picked the sand burrs out of our hemlines, played hide and seek, and ran through the park with the sun at our backs...stopping only to get D. her smarties periodically as a reward for being such a big girl. <br />
<br />
You are just as cute as you can be little girl! Going through your pictures just puts a smile on my face!<br />

I photographed Max for his 1 year session when little Charlie had yet to make his appearance, and then last winter, we got together again for a session for Charlie's 6 month pictures. Both times, these little boys just had me in stitches with their little personalities. :D<br />
They are just as adorable as can be! I have never seen such cute dimples on a little one, and every time Charlie flashes his little smile, it makes me giggle, and I just want to pinch his cute little cheeks! Max was a tougher audience, but once my awesome helpers (his cousins Cole and Emma) started counting to him in Spanish, well, the grin came out and he flashed a million watt smile at us. Well armed with bribes (Smarties), Grandma Hilda, Cole, Emma, and I worked as quite a team to keep these two entertained!<br />
<br />
Thanks to all my awesome assistants for your help tonight! Charlie and Max, you are just as handsome as you can be!<br />

You might recognize this young lady. She is on my spokes model team. Katie is seriously the All American Girl. A young woman with a huge heart, a serious work ethic, and a contagious smile, Katie has been one of my biggest teen supporters, and a great positive influence. She always has an upbeat attitude and a kind word, and she has and amazing perspective on life. Lots of wisdom in this young woman.<br />
<br />
When I talked to her the night before our shoot, she told me how excited she was, and though I was already excited, that comment made me even more so! Her positive energy can't help but brighten your day!<br />
<br />
She rocked her shoot, and I put these two images next to each other because she is a dedicated athlete, a down-home young lady who needs no make-up to be beautiful, but after getting all dolled up, well, the beauty on the inside truly blossomed...and all of a sudden, she looked all grown up.<br />
<br />
Breathtaking. <br />
<br />
Katie, there could never be a more beautiful you!<br />

I was meeting up with an awesome family from our community. Emma was my son Carter's swimming instructor last summer, Christy works at Greater Sandhills Family Healthcare, Tim is our local Chief of Police, and I also got to know Tyler, Ashley, and Dillon a bit better. Tyler told me about his cookies that he made for 4-H and how science was his favorite subject in school, while Dillon shared about his market steer. Emma was getting ready to head back to college, and Ashley admitted to "raiding" her closet a bit. :D<br />
<br />
We had a little extra excitement on our shoot too. I went out to the location early like I always do. While I was walking around looking at the light and background, I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked down, and low and behold, there was a rather lengthy garter snake about a foot to my right. Jimminy Crickets, I almost stepped right on him! Well, I couldn't have a snake getting in the way of our shoot, so I found a (LENGTHY) stick and chased it right on out of there. I then proceeded to comb the area to make sure we didn't have any other visitors during our session. This awesome family arrived, and I did tell them about my encounter, just as a head's up. Tim, our Chief Of Police here in Atkinson, mentioned that he became a pretty quick runner when snakes were involved. LOL! Well, after a bit, Dillon, Tyler and I ventured off for a photo of them together, and just as we were getting situated, Dillon pulled Tyler up because he realized he almost sat on a bull snake! In ALL my sessions at this location, I have never encountered snakes!<br />
<br />
Well, thankfully, those were our only two visitors, and they were harmless. We relaxed, visited, captured some lovely images, talked about the kids' 4-H projects, and chatted about the awesome lessons that come with being part of such an awesome program.<br />
<br />
Thanks for having a sense of humor about our reptile friends! You all did great, and good-luck with the new school year!<br />

Ashley is one of those people. With a distinct, vintage inspired sense of style, she totally rocked this shoot! Macy, my hair and make-up artist did a FABULOUS job on Ashley's look, and when combined with Ashley's unique style, well, these images were absolutely magical! What a great shoot!<br />
<br />
Thank you Ashley! You are STUNNING!<br />

<br />
Albert and Agnes have been lovebirds for over 65 years. In fact, this year, they will have been married for 66 years! Their grand-daughter, Erica, contacted me about doing a photo shoot for her grandparents a few months ago. We set a date and traveled out to the lovely Eagle Springs Lodge in order to capture this wonderful couple. I came armed with some questions about how they met, and what they loved most about each other. They just cracked me up with their comments throughout the shoot. When I asked them to just chat with each other for a few shots, Albert said, "About what? We've already talked about everything!" What a hoot!<br />
<br />
They told stories of courting, going to barn dances, and how much Albert loves math (and is mighty good at it!). We chatted history, rural living, and shared stories about our ancestry.<br />
<br />
I am so honored that I got to capture this amazing couple. 66 years of marriage is quite an accomplishment, and something to cherish.<br />
<br />
Thank you for the wonderful evening Albert and Agnes. You are an inspiration!<br />

At the time, my business was BRAND SPANKIN' NEW, and I was quite humbled that she liked my work enough to ask me to do their family's photos. Fast forward 2 years, and again, I am humbled that they asked me to photograph Tanner for his Senior photo session.<br />
<br />
Tanner was such an awesome model. Willing to do anything, despite the fact that he was sore for intense football practice, our hometown Q.B. and Hay Days King was a great sport. He ROCKED his senior photo session. <br />
<br />
Here's just a peek of a few of the MANY awesome images we created. Great job Tanner!<br />

Molly is a gorgeous O'Neill High School Senior, and this session was extra special. You might remember my "This Is Me" project last fall. Molly is a tough young lady that has achieved amazing things since a car accident left her injured about a year ago. She continues to amaze me with what she can do, and I am so very inspired by her strength and positive attitude. Molly, you are so beautiful! Thank you for being such an inspiration!<br />

</a></div>I just love when I get to see clients on multiple occasions! Little Miss Lily braved a cold November day to come see me last year, and we ended up making one of my very favorite images at that <a href="http://katrinaleephotography.blogspot.com/2010/11/atkinson-ne-lifestyle-and-art_20.html">session</a>. She even got featured in the e-magazine "<a href="http://issuu.com/clickinmoms/docs/click-winter-2011?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fdark%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true&logo=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.client.lynnerigby.com%2Fphotos%2F1163193247_wQff4-Ti.png">CLICK</a>"! So, when her mom called to schedule her summer session, I was excited to see her again. She is absolutely adorable! We ventured out to the BEAUTIFUL <a href="http://www.eaglespringslodgellc.com/">Eagle Springs Lodge</a> north of Atkinson for our session, and it was just a perfect compliment to her lovely little dress and the sassy feathers in her hair.<br />
<br />
Here you are Miss Lily! Thanks for coming to see me again!<br />

My very good friend Jenny, whom I am so blessed to not only work with, but just to know in general, FINALLY introduced Barrett to the world! Last weekend I packed up my gear, went to their house, and spent the morning snuggling, swaddling, and posing this gorgeous little boy for his newborn photo shoot. I LOVE when I can go to the babies in their homes. They are in their own space, and it is pretty amazing what a difference that can make. With the help of big sister, we came away with some absolutely beautiful images of this sweet little boy. <br />
<br />
Welcome to the world Barrett, you are just as cute as can be!<br />

I had the privilege of working with Christy and her two gorgeous daughters the other night, and I am inspired to begin accessorizing! Seriously, I am envious of how good they are at dressing themselves. For some reason, I have no problem picking out clothing for other people, but when it comes to dressing myself, well, I am a hot mess! LOL. I just loved their bohemian style, and combine that with heavenly light, and well, it was a rockin' night for a shoot. Christy is the owner of the awesomely trendy <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Uptown-Hair-Design/181793061849328?sk=wall">Uptown Hair Design</a> salon, and after chatting about updating a picture she has of her and her girls, we decided to head out to do just that. <br />
<br />
Thanks for a great night ladies, these are going to make awesome art for the salon!<br />

These two are an adorable couple, and the fact that Jon is family, well, it just makes it that much more of a privilege for me to be asked to shoot their engagement session. I can tell that these two laugh a lot in their relationship, and we had a great time. Plus, have you ever seen such GORGEOUS blue eyes? <br />
<br />
I also wanted to do this session for them as a way to give back.<br />
<br />
So, you might ask, how is shooting an engagement session giving back?<br />
<br />
Well, as a member of the <a href="http://www.oplove.org/">OpLove</a> community, I offer my photographic services to military families. Jon and Cary are one of those special families. As a United States Army National Guard soldier, who spent time deployed to Iraq, and who, while home spends time going on E.M.T runs, Jon is an illustration of service to others. His entire family is an illustration of service to others, volunteering in church, as volunteer fire-fighters, and EMTs. Cary is working toward her nursing degree, preparing for a career of healthcare services to others. Traditionally, OpLove sessions revolve around deployment and return from deployment events, but these sessions don't only have to revolve around these events, and since the service wasn't available upon his return from his tour in Iraq, there was no time like the present to celebrate! <br />
<br />
Why OpLove?<br />
<br />
Well, some of you may know that in December, 2007 I lost a very dear friend in Iraq. I knew that I wanted to do something to honor Mike, and because I hold the highest regard for our military community, becoming an OpLove photographer was a natural step for me. It is truly my honor to be able to offer my services to those who risk their lives to protect this country. <br />
<br />
Jon and Cary, you are so fun, and I wish you all the best in planning for you big day! Thanks for including me! <br />

Tyler, his mom, and I got together last week for Tyler's Senior photo shoot. Last year, I had the privilege of shooting his older brother, Cody, and so I was ecstatic when I was invited back to work with Tyler. This guy LOVES his sports, so our session was definitely driven by that passion...but, in true style, we added a twist to the traditional sports photos. :D<br />
<br />
Thanks for having me out to the farm! It was so much fun!<br />

<br />
We left the city to visit Dachau, the notorious Nazi labor camp where thousands perished as slave laborers for the Nazi machine.<br />
<br />
<span id="aptureStartContent"><i><b><span class="body">I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. ~Elie Wiesel</span></b></i> <br />
<span class="bodybold"> <a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/e/eliewiesel163854.html"><br />
</a> </span></span>I thought this visit deserved its own post. It was a missing piece of the puzzle for me. In all my years of studying the Holocaust, I never felt that I could completely wrap my mind around what I was learning because I had never set foot in the place where it all began. To be in Munich and to visit one of the many camps that fostered such inhumanity was a bit surreal to me. It was a haunting experience at a personal level for me, and as I wondered through the various stations on the grounds, I struggled to swallow my emotions.<br />
<br />
Of course Germany can not be defined by Nazi history. There is much more to it than that; but for me, it was a spiritual experience to walk the same paths as those who lost their lives through such senseless means. <br />

To breathe air contained by barbed wire. To see the doors that closed on the helpless, hiding them from the world's eyes. To feel the emotional lump in my throat I walked through the iron doors spelling out "Arbeit Macht Frei". Work Brings Freedom. An ironic statement that I have never been able to erase from my mind since first reading about it in Elie Wiesel's book Night. To see it, to touch the curve of the letters, to walk through the gate...it is hard to put into words. So...I won't. <br />

<br />
On our way to Germany, we stopped in Liechtenstein at Neuschwanstein Castle. Home of the famed King Ludwig, a patriot of the arts, and a devout (or obsessed) follower of composer Richard Wagner., the palace was created to pay homage to Wagner, and though it was never finished, it was truly amazing to see his vision and passion. Just days after being forced from the throne, Ludwig was found dead in a lake. Whether it was suicide or an accident, we don't know...but the legend lives on to this day, and the castle inspired the famous Walt Disney castle design.<br />

<i><b>Munich </b></i><br />
<br />
Germany is amazing. The city is beautiful, clean, and a perfect mix of modern and historic. So much of it was destroyed during the war that many of the buildings had be reconstructed to emulate what they used to look like. We explored it by bus and bike, and I really felt at home here.<br />
<br />
We first stopped by the Bavarian Royals' palace. Modeled after Versailles, this palace boasted large gardens, sculpture, and beautiful landscaping. It was gorgeous!<br />

I ventured into a basement restaurant with one of the other chaperones, and much to our delight, we discovered Nebraska Beef as a featured entree on the menu! </div><br />

After traveling through the lovely Burgundy, France and getting to stop in a darling little town for some mango sorbet, exploration, and shopping, we arrived in the Alps. I only have one word. Majestic. Simply majestic.<br />
<br />
We arrived late in the evening, but went for a walk in the dark so we could stretch our legs. The coolness of the evening was refreshing, and as we sauntered around the village, we could hear rushing springs and cowbells in the distance. It was so peaceful.<br />

The next day we got to go to Lucern, where we explored the city, picked up Swiss Army knives, strolled through shops, ate panini, filled our water bottles from the fresh water spring fountains, and took a ferry over the lake to get to Mt. Pilatus for our excursion. <br />

The teal blue waters were simply amazing, and though the fog was so dense there wasn't much of a view from the top of the mountain, it took me back to my childhood when I got lost in the pages of the story of Heidi, the sweet orphan girl of the Alps who helped her grandfather find the courage to play his beloved organ. <br />

Later that day, when we returned to our quaint motel, Casey (another chaperone) and I braved the heavy mists and decided to go hiking. It was good for the soul, and the lush beauty of the mountains brought peace and contentment to my travel weary soul. <br />

<br />
I missed a few days of writing because of our crazy schedule. We traveled to Paris, where we were able to visit the Versailles, The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. They were all so amazing, and though I really enjoyed them, I have to say that Paris was not for me. People here seem to have no pride in their community. The filth of the city made me so very sad. I think many of us were quite shocked at the contradiction of the most romantic city in the world being so filthy. But, the places we were able to experience by far overshadowed that factor. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Versailles was an important place for me, as I remember hearing of it from my Granddad. As I walked (or was pushed) through the palatial home, I was mesmerized, and yet saddened by the stories of what royal women had to endure. What a lonely world for a little girl. Knowing that if you didn't produce and heir to the throne that you could be cast aside. And if you were a little girl, knowing how you shamed your kingdom. The beauty of the gardens could provide some solace, and I could imagine myself getting lost for hours in it. As I walked through, I was angered when our tour guide told us of how the materials were being ruined by tourists who carved grafitti in the hall of mirrors, and who ignored the camera flash ban, leading to the complete destruction of royal fabrics. Even as we passed through the halls, I could see this complete ignorance all around me, and it made me very sad.<br />

There was an actual service going on when we arrived, and it was so neat to see how faith was observed within the walls of this amazing structure. We were privileged to listen to the beautiful voice of a young girl singing during the service...simple gorgeous. <br />

Then of course, there was the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Though we didn't get to see it in ALL its glory, it was still pretty awesome to be in the presence of such iconic structures. <br />

Last, we left France via a darling little town in Burgundy. Getting to walk around, sample Vino, explore quaint little shops, try AMAZING mango sorbet, and FEEL the real culture of France was awesome. As Betthina said, "Paris is not France. THIS is France.". <br />

In preparing to leave for another week, I find myself feeling a bit overwhelmed. I knew that June would be crazy for this family, and I did my best to prepare for it, but it is catching up with me. 1 more week to push through, and I will be back home with my family! I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences thus far, and I am excited to share with you!<br />
<br />
I went back and forth FOREVER about taking my beloved SLR with me, but when it came down to it, it was was having the right tool for the occasion. Because of our schedule and travel conditions, it just wasn't the thing to do. So, I bought myself a great little Point and Shoot camera and learned how to use it on the bus going to Omaha. I have to admit that I cheated on my Nikon with a Canon S95, but what can I say, Canon had the edge on Point and Shoot models, and after seeing the comparison my photog friend Khara Plicanic did between the G11 and the S95, well, I was sold. :D It was a great camera for the job! <br />

<i><b>Part 1: London</b></i><br />
<br />
(Excerpt from my journal) <i>The plane is about to land in London after an exhausting day. I was not successful in sleeping on the plane, and though I am thoroughly exhausted, the excitement of the journey we are about to embark upon will keep me going. I wish I would ahve been able to take a picture of the sunrise, it lit up the other side of the plane with hues of orange and red. Glorious! I NEED COFFEE!</i><br />

We experienced a walking tour and a bus tour of downtown London, a lunch of fish and chips, and a visit to the London Tower, Trafalgar Square, and St. Paul's Cathedral. I am in AWE. Though I missed the changing of the guard, Westminster Abbey, and Buckinham Palace, I saw it on the fly as I ran from the train to meet up with a group after staying behind to accompany a sick student back to the hotel. The architecture and history is amazing, and I wish I could fully appreciate it, but I think I was in a sleep deprived daze. <br />

<br />
Tuesday I am am leaving to accompany a group of students on the adventure of a lifetime by traveling to Europe for 10 days. I have never traveled overseas, and though several opportunities have come my way in the last 10 years, I regret to say that I never grabbed them up because "the time just wasn't right". In hindsight, I realize that I have used that statement as an excuse to NOT do things. Realistically, is there ever a "right time" to do anything? Something always seems to come up. There are always busy schedules, the weather doesn't cooperate, an unexpected expense throws a wrench in your plans, someone gets sick...I was very good at finding all kinds of reasons NOT to take advantage of opportunities. In reality, it wasn't about timing at all. <i><b>It was about my unwillingness to take a risk and have faith. </b></i><br />
<br />
Two years ago this week I formally joined the Nebraska Writing Project by participating in their Summer Writing Institute. For 4 weeks, I left my family and moved in with 3 amazing women in Lincoln. It was not without great trepidation. I felt extreme guilt about leaving my husband and family to take care of my children during those weeks. I had so many doubts, and I tried to hide my excitement out of fear of being judged, but I am so blessed that my husband understands and supports my love for continuing education; he knows it is just part of who I am, and without continuing education...well, my spirit begins to wither. Our family circled around us with love and support, and because of that, I was presented an opportunity to open myself to the experience... to learn...and to grow. <br />
<br />
During that time, I explored who I was, what I wanted out of life, and how I could be a stronger presence for my children and my students. I met amazing writers from all over our great state during that institute. They wrote of their adventures, their accomplishments, their failures, their joys, and their sorrows...and I shared my own with them. We helped each other become stronger writers though small groups that were built on trust and honesty, we explored how to become stronger educators for our students, and we established friendships that have been lasting. It was a truly liberating and spiritual experience.<br />
<br />
It was also at this time that I first acknowledged aloud my true desire to become a photographer. I wanted this for quite some time, but "the timing was never right". I was a wife, a mom, and a teacher already. My plate was full enough (this is true)...but there was a piece of me that I hadn't explored yet. My creative spirit was waiting to be unleashed, and I always dreamed of being a business owner. I began to explore the possibility of realizing this dream, and with the support of my family and friends, I decided to go for it...and I haven’t looked back. In reality, I feel that I am a better (albeit busier) wife, mother, and teacher because of it. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Fast forward 2 years. </b></i><br />
<br />
I sit here blogging as I look at my schedule. <br />
<br />
It is full. <br />
<br />
June is booked for this family.<br />
<br />
I am leaving for 10 days to do something I have never done before, and I am blessed that I get to share that experience with teens, an age group that I <u><b>LOVE</b></u> to work with. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am home for 1 week, and then I leave again to participate in a Nebraska Writing Project Holocaust Literature Seminar at the end of the month. It will be an amazing class full of amazing educators. I will be a better teacher and better global citizen because of it. In between, I have photo shoots and special photography projects. <br />
<br />
My husband is busy working on the ranch, working cattle, getting ready for haying no doubt, and working with other men from our community to volunteer their time helping others in need.<br />
<br />
My boys are preparing to enjoy a summer full of Bible School, swimming lessons, visiting “Gramas” and “Grampas”, aunts and uncles and cousins, celebrating birthdays...and just being kids.<br />
<br />
I look at all the colored blocks on my google calendar and I feel a bit of apprehension...do we really have enough time for all of this? <br />
<br />
Well, we will be busy; that is for sure. But, working with and for others is a passion that brings joy and purpose to our lives, and <i><b>we are blessed to be busy</b></i>. <br />
<br />
In the midst of all the turmoil that plagues this world and the pain that afflicts so many (near and far), I realize how important it is to take advantage of opportunities when they come your way. Whether that opportunity is continuing your education, helping others in need, volunteering your time to an organization, experiencing something new, saying “I love you”, simply spending more quality time with family and friends, or if you are like many who email me, scheduling a photo session that you have been putting off until the “right time”...<br />
<br />

</div><b><i>Have a beautiful day!</i></b>Katrina Lee Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05149182490299908758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603122873196589250.post-31889138638367890602011-05-27T13:41:00.000-05:002011-05-27T13:41:25.053-05:00Atkinson, Nebraska Teen Photographer: FASHION!I have been SO excited about this event! I had the opportunity to collaborate with 2 AWESOME young businesswomen on a special project. <br />
<br />
Amanda is a fun and funky fashion boutique owner from Springview, NE. What you say? Springview? That little tiny town north of the Niobrara river? YES! Open for just a few months, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Strut/161992530523070">STRUT</a> is a new clothing boutique offering fun, uniquely detailed clothing for fashion forward young ladies. I LOVE her clothes, and they definitely offer another incentive to continue the weight loss, because they are FABULOUS! I am happy to say that I didn't leave this shoot empty handed...I just couldn't resist! :D <br />
<br />
Then, there is my friend Macy. You might remember her from her fabulous shoot she did with me a few months ago. A hair and make-up stylist from Atkinson, she joined our collaboration and lent her expertise at making women look and feel absolutely gorgeous! Even more exciting? She is now collaborating with me to offer her services to my clients! <br />
<br />
YES, KATRINA LEE PHOTOGRAPHY NOW OFFERS HAIR AND MAKE-UP SERVICES! I can't wait! She is absolutely fabulous!<br />
<br />
So, on a cool, rainy day, we journeyed up to Springview, met up with our FABULOUS teen models, and proceeded to spend a Sunday afternoon getting make-up and hair done, choosing favorite outfits, and showing off those fabulous clothes on the streets of Springview (while dodging raindrops). <br />
<br />
What better way to spend an afternoon? <br />
<br />
SO GORGEOUS!<br />
