Jaime Incontro worked for a photo lab in Lincoln while going to college for photography, then graduated a few months before getting married. Her husband asked her what she planned to do with her degree and she said she’d like to start a business. The resulting business is Purple Sky Productions, a photography studio that photographs families, high school seniors, babies, children, engagement and weddings. A division of that is Boudoir Boutique, a studio specializing in boudoir photography (photographing women in their lingerie). She has been in business for eleven years and currently has two employees.
