Omaha Senior Portrait Photographer - LGBTQIA+ senior, rocking the rainbow

Em is an awesome human. She’s incredibly smart and obviously adorable, but she is also sarcastic and funny, with a big heart. I am happy to say that her parents have completely embraced her since coming out to them as bi-sexual. They’re literally the only house in their neighborhood that flies an umbrella flag all year round (actually, I don’t think I saw a single other umbrella flag the whole time I was there). Em told me she wanted to incorporate her bi flag into her senior portraits, as well as her umbrella belt (which I loved so much that I bought a matching one to keep as a client piece) and I was like, “Yes! Game on!” Sometime after that conversation, I decided we also needed to use a rainbow umbrella (and that she needed to own one), so I had one shipped to her house prior to my arrival.

Happy Pride Month!

Happy Pride Month! - Omaha Nebraska Senior LGBTQIA+ photographer

I’d like to start off Pride month a little bit differently this year. Instead of a wedding or engagements session, I’m sharing some photos that I did with two awesome LGBTQIA teens! I had the honor of photographing these best friends, when I was in Omaha last year. I have known Emeliann since she was in Kindergarten, but only met Matt for the first time, when I was visiting Nebraska. They had some fun with the rainbow umbrella that I had mailed to Em’s house prior to our shoot because she mentioned wanting to incorporate a pride rainbow into her session. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing a LOT more photos of these two… from their individual sessions.
