Misty Downing-Grubham Valentine NE Photographer, Midwest NE Photographer and South Dakota Photographer

I recently moved to Valentine NE from Omaha NE and wanted to introduce myself to those of you that do not know me. I have been married for 17 years to my best friend, we have 2 children, Brayden 15 and Taylor 5. They are our world and keep us on our toes. (See our family photo below).

Photography started when I was just a young girl. I loved taking pictures and bought my very own Nikon point-n-shoot camera when I was in high school, then I started taking pictures of my son when he was just 3 years old and the rest is history. I have been a professional photographer for 11 years now. I love taking pictures and capturing all the moments life gives us.

I am a small town girl at heart and have been coming back to Valentine to visit my in-laws since 2002, so I am very familiar with Valentine. I love our little town called the heart city (Valentine, NE). I am also a 5th Grade Teacher in Mission, I love children and my job, its the best of both worlds.

I have been shooting weddings for 10 years now, I love meeting all the couples and making life long friends and all the wedding details that are involved. I also love family sessions, high school seniors and all of the milestone photos in between.

I'd love to chat with you about your next photo session. Contact me to set up your next photo session or wedding.

Sammy & Aaron Family - Valentine, Nebraska Family Photographer

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 01:06:02 GMT

Sammy is one of my mother-in-laws good friends (and could be one of her kids). My family and I visit Valentine Nebraska quite often to see my in-laws and other family so I always love getting together with Sammy and her adorable kids (Madysyn and Dekyr) to take photos. Madysyn is such a great big sister and loves baby Dekyr!!! I had so much fun capturing these moments with your little family and look forward to our next session.

Omaha Lincoln Wedding Photographer | Bier Wedding Photo Booth | DC Centre Omaha NE

Karlee and Donald's wedding reception was so much fun. The guests didn't hold back from having fun.

They loved the photo booth, it was definitely a hit.

Karlee and Donald used the photo booth as the guest book. The DJ asked the guests to come on over to the photo booth

to get their picture taken so Karlee and Donald would have a lasting moment with every guest that attended the reception.

What a perfect idea for a guest book!

Omaha Lincoln Wedding Photographer | Julie and Brennan Engagements

Omaha Lincoln Wedding Photographer | Julie and Brennan Engagements | Zorinksy Park Omaha NE

Wedding Date: August 16th, 2014

Julie and Brennan are two of most loving people I know. Zorinsky Lake Park was the perfect location for these two. They wanted a location with a rustic look with a lake. I LOVE shooting at Zorinksy because it is always so beautiful and there is always a variety of photos to choose from. My favorite part of the park is the trail in the 1st photo below, the trail (from a certain angle) looks like it is a never-ending trail of heaven.

I LOVED Julie and Brennan's engagement session so much I featured them in all of my marketing materials. I would have to say that's a pretty BIG DEAL!!

I am SO excited for their wedding on August 16th, 2014 at the DC Center.

Congrats Bryce and Abby - Moments Photography by Misty - Omaha Wedding Photographer

Abby and Bryce are such an amazing couple! They have amazing family and friends and its easy to see what a close nit group they are when looking through all the emotional images from their wedding day! I captured some really great candid moments (my favorite moments)! The reception was cheery and we enjoyed hearing the comical and sentimental speeches, cracking up during the couple's shoe game, and the tearful special dances. What a joyful day, congratulations to Abby and Patrick!

Congrats Bryce and Abby!
