Spring Vibes and Family Ties: Adventures with The Mueller's at Lake Babcock in Columbus, NE

Embracing the Light: Capturing Family Memories in the Spring and Summer in Northeast Nebraska!

Spring and summer are totally my vibe for photography! The warm sunshine, colorful blooms, and that whole nature glow after a long winter just hits different. In Nebraska, we’ve made it past the snow and chilly days, and now the trees are coming to life, and the flowers are bursting with color—it's the ideal backdrop for snapping those priceless moments with your peeps.

Getting that light and airy golden vibe in my photos is all about a simple formula: the right location/light + the right outfits + the right editing = perfection. While I focus on finding the ideal location and adding my editing touch, you can elevate the look by choosing outfits that beautifully complement this style!

Complete Family Outfit Inspiration

When it comes to choosing outfits, keep it simple. The secret sauce for that dreamy, light-filled look is all about light, neutral, and timeless clothing. By going with softer shades, we keep the focus on you and your crew—highlighting those smiles and connections without the distraction of bold colors or crazy patterns.

A Few Tips for Styling

1. Stick to Light Patterns: When you’re picking patterns, aim for delicate and chill vibes—think light florals, eyelet textures, or soft stripes. These styles photograph beautifully without stealing the show.

2. Choose Timeless Colors: Start with a base of creams, tans, whites, and light grays. You can totally add some muted pinks, blues, and greens for a little pop while keeping it all harmonious.

3. Focus on Dresses for the Ladies: Ladies, you can’t go wrong with dresses for that classic look! A flowing dress in the breeze? Total magic. Look for light, airy fabrics that give that perfect twirl.

4. Style for the Gents: For the guys, keep it casual with henleys, button-up shirts, or light sweaters. Pair these with khakis, tans, or light-colored jeans that are perfect for summer vibes. A laid-back hat or stylish jacket can add that extra flair without going overboard.

5. Footwear Matters: Comfort is the name of the game, especially when we're moving around for pics. Just skip the character-themed sneakers, athletic shoes, and bulky soles; go for neutral, comfy options that keep the fit looking fresh.

Check out the Mueller family for some epic inspo! Their earthy tones of blues, browns, and whites vibe perfectly with the surrounding nature. And can we just take a moment to appreciate Alicia's stunning dress? Absolute goals for that soft, airy aesthetic! Our photoshoot at Castners Crossing in Columbus, right before the trees were in full bloom, was flawless—nature and family style came together like peanut butter and jelly.

And guess what? This family was even celebrating a major milestone as their oldest, Ali, graduates from high school this weekend and is heading to Peru in the fall to chase her dream of becoming a dentist. How incredible is that? It adds even more heart to this photoshoot.

As you gear up for your next family pics, remember that the right outfits not only make your photos pop but also capture the love and joy you share. Let’s soak up that light together and create unforgettable memories that you’ll treasure for years to come!
