Finding that perfect shade... I took photos of Kristi, founder of @queencityinteriors, and her husband as they launched an interior design firm + real estate development in Hastings! Power couple right here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #headshots #corporateheadshots #professionalportrawits #portraits #lnk #hastingsne #interiordesigner #designer #creativeheadshots #morethanaheadshot #queencityinteriors #lincolnnebraska #nebraska #nikkimoorephotography #lnkstyle #personalbranding #lincolnne #interiordesigner

I've been lucky to work with many small businesses this year - and it is *always* inspiring to catch a glimpse of the human spirit behind the brand, the drive and motivation. I had a quick chat on #smallbusinesssaturday with a friend who owns a retail store in Lincoln. She said it had been an awesome day, but the momentum really has to be sustained for longer periods and she was hoping lots of energy. So I'm helping share her message - and reminding myself - to shop small throughout the year, on the regular! Let's keep up the energy! Who are you shopping with this week AND after this week?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sapahn #ethicalfashion #lifestyle #productphotography #lnk #lincolnne #lincolnnebraska #sustainablefashion #fairtradefashion #slowfashion #ethicallymade #mindfullymade #shopsmall #lovethelocals #shoplocal #leatherbags #smallbusinesslove #mystylelnk #commercialphotographer #nebraska #studio

I had a ton of fun working my headshot / photography booth at the Lincoln Business Expo last week! I photographed 77 headshots and only sat down once for a 20 minute lunch. It was a crazy, full, exhausting day but my little heart was happy from so many connections made. Note to self: bring another person next year! Thanks again for everyone who stopped by, waited in line, and shared about their businesses and big dreams. I am working on the photos and will get the gallery sent out as soon as they’re done! Shine on, all you beautiful people ❤️📷💡

Karissa was one of my first friends when I moved to the Lincoln area at the end of high school. So that means I’ve known her over half my life, and she’s been a watercolor artist as long as I can remember. Lately I’ve been amazed how she’s been painting commissioned artwork in various forms and also illustrating a children’s book (it’s called Dreams and you can buy it at @barnesandnoble or locally at @francieandfinch)! And most recently, she’s not only an artist but an author, as she works to write a children’s book and illustrate it with her dreamy paintings! She’s a wonderful mama and even a neighbor as of last summer when she and her family moved into a house just a couple blocks away. It’s a gift to have Karissa as a friend and I can’t wait to see where her talent takes her! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #headshots #artist #painter #watercolorist #professionalportraits #portraits #studio #lnk #lincolnnebraska #paintsplatter #nebraska #lnkstyle #nikkimoorephotography #smallbusiness #entrepreneurlifestyle #businessmindset #workharder #goals #nebraskaphotographer #photography #creativehappylife #creativeminds #entrepneurship #calledtobecreative #mondaymotivation #mondays

Going to be sharing a lot from my shoot with @cydneemame and I’m not a bit sorry 😊This talented lady is off to Chicago for the next step in her modeling career! A couple more in my stories! (I hate how they crop when you upload multiples!) including an outtake which is 100% Cydnee. Happy trails @cydneemame!! ❤️ #professionalmodel #modelheadshots #actorheadshots #lnk #nebraska #lnkstyle #mylnk #headshots #portraits #professionalmodels #onlocation

Then again, if you need to quit, do that. There’s no reason to be proud of continuing a path that isn’t right for you any longer. But maybe you need a break? Maybe a rest will give you the perspective you need. Then you can jump back in with new eyes and a renewed mind. I’ve personally felt the profound need to rest at specific times. To create white space in my life, and let some things go away for a while. I always end up with a fresh, new perspective! How do you practice rest - either in a micro or macro sense? Each day or week? This year?

Kristi is opening a brand new interior design firm, Queen City Interiors! I recently got to tour + photograph some of her spaces in Hastings. She is so incredibly talented! (She even gave me some great ideas for our own kitchen renovation!) Find her at @queencityinteriors and check out the apartment space she and her husband are renovating + developing: @block27lofts. It was a delight to work with this sweet gal and feel the excitement of a new venture! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I specialize in creating branded images like these for small businesses. I work with all sorts of companies, but my heart is with smaller businesses who need to update or rebrand their look with fresh marketing images: their team at work, styled images of their product, creative headshots + lifestyle portraits, or complete overhaul of their business branding photography. If this is YOU: let's talk. 😊

I love taking photos for @lovebirdjewelry_collective! This is from the Spring 2020 line of Greece-inspired pieces. Stop in at the (new!!!) @blushbridal_ne boutique to see these heirloom bridal jewelry, which is designed and hand created by @carissa_dawn right here in Lincoln. (This line is also sold in bridal boutiques across the country and at @kleinfeldbridal!) More from this set is at @shalestudio! ❤️❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifestyle #productphotography #grecian #seaglass #jewelryofinstagram #modernjewelry #jewelryphotography #creativelifehappylife #creativelifestyle #lnk #lincolnne #lincolnnebraska #studioproducts #lovebirdjewelrycollective #bridalaccessories #swarovski #naturallightphotographer #productphotography #styledproducts

I still wouldn’t say our tiny pocket bathroom is completely finished, but I’m really proud of the work that my husband and I did to transform it earlier this spring! Swipe to see the before 🙈 The sink didn’t work, there was an unused laundry chute door cluttering up the vanity, the ceiling and paint and lighting and sink were awful, and the built-in cabinet looked sloppy and dated, (although it was very sturdy and hard to take out). This teensy bathroom is the only one we have on the main floor of our 1922 house, so it’s a pretty high traffic area and needs to work hard. I tried to keep the new style pretty minimal and uncluttered. I’m sitting on the toilet for all the pictures you see of the vanity. That’s how small this bathroom is! When the door is open it blocks the vanity so you have to close the door to use the sink. 😊 I had an awful time finding a TINY vanity to match the size we needed! After months of searching we bought a small butcher-block island at @ikeausa ($40), removed the inner shelves, and stained it. I think I tagged all my other sources if you care to know! The lovely wall print is something I’d gotten from @parimastudio print for a couple years - and I was amazed at how well it fits in there! We didn’t replace the flooring or the toilet, so at least we were able to have a somewhat functioning bathroom during this little remodel! That made it a lot easier! (Aside from the whole ‘renovation with 3 little kids’ part.) I created a highlight in my profile so you can see the before and after as well as some of the interesting “during”! #diyrenovation #bathroomreno #pocketbathroom #powderroom #homerenovation #bathroomsofig #budgetrenovation #handyhusband #diditmyself #nebraska #interiorphotographer #homephotos #mylovelyhome #beforeandafter #transformationtuesday #transformation #amazonfinds #overstockstyle #amazonhome #ikea #ikeahacks #ikeahome
