Capturing Community

Partnering with Esther’s Miracle to Support Families


Recently, I had the opportunity to work with Esther’s Miracle, a remarkable organization providing support to families navigating childhood cancer. Through advocacy, emotional support, practical assistance, and ongoing care, they walk alongside families every step of the way. I was honored to capture two of their impactful events.


Omaha Lancers Game: Raising Awareness

The first event was at an Omaha Lancers hockey game against their I-80 rival, the Lincoln Stars. Esther’s Miracle hosted an informational table to raise awareness about their mission and connect with the community. The energy in the arena was electric, and it was inspiring to see so many people stop by to learn how they could support families navigating childhood cancer.


Painting with a Twist: Supporting the Kromka Family

The second event was a painting night at Painting with a Twist in Omaha. This event was held to support the Kromka Family, one of Esther’s Miracle’s "Adopt a Family" families. It was an evening filled with creativity, laughter, and heartfelt support for a family going through unimaginable challenges. My goal was to capture the warmth and unity of the community coming together for such an important cause.


Why I Give Back

Giving back is a core part of my business. Through my Giving Back program, I provide one complimentary photography session per month to registered 501(c)(3) non-profits in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area. By offering high-quality images that capture the heart of these organizations, I help them tell their stories, connect with supporters, and amplify their impact.


If you know a non-profit that could benefit from professional photography, I’d love to connect with them. Let’s work together to preserve what matters and make a lasting difference.
