Hanging out with these two was a breath of fresh air. It was obvious after two hours of spending time with them and photographing them just being insanely sweet together that they love each other with a real, true love. They have that look in their eyes, and it seems there is a lightness in their hearts when they are with each other. And that lightness rubbed off on me
After a long and gray winter, this shoot really lifted my spirits and gave me a taste for the life that comes in Spring and Summer. Kristin called me and said she had found an awesome location and wanted to shoot there when the apple trees were in blossom. An awesome new location with flowering trees and a wonderful family? Yes please!
I’ve gotten to photograph this family a
This little guy stole my heart from the moment I walked in the room. This family has been special to me since we’ve lived in Kentucky. We used to babysit this little guys big sister, and loved it, so to document this family grow from 3 to 4 was a joy. This little guy is so loved
Well before I begin, let me just warn you -this is a really long post – partly because it includes the rehersal, but mostly because I love these two and couldn’t narrow it down any further! This wedding. Let me just tell you how incredible it was. These two are our very good friends from the church we have been going to almost the whole time we have lived in
A few weeks ago I got to hang out with this awesome and gorgeous girl for a couple of hours in downtown Lexington. I enjoyed walking around photo hunting with her and her mother. I got to walk around the fine city of Lexington on a nice afternoon and I got to meet a wonderful young lady – a pretty great afternoon I would say!
Thanks Tabitha for hanging out with
If you are interested in knowing how I feel about these sessions, read this post. But if you don’t feel like reading that, let me sum it up, I love them. They make me extremely happy.
From the moment I walked in this family’s home, I felt the warmth and life. Photos of their lives covered the wall and the smell of dinner cooking filled the air. Fun
I’ve been gushing about these sessions for the last couple months. It is something that I just started recently and love. It is different than a tradition session in that I just show up to my clients house and start taking photos. There isn’t a, “look over here, do this do that”, it is just them being them. Now it may sound like I am being lazy and
Have you been to a Greek Orthodox wedding? I had been to one before this. They are pretty amazing. Symbolism, beauty, history, holiness, and love are all deeply entwined in these ceremonies. Andrea contacted me just a few months before the date she was to wed the man of her dreams. And when she told me that she would be having a Greek Orthodox wedding, I was pretty excited. And
Are you dreaming of warm weather today? Well here are few photos that might might make you appreciate the beauty of Winter for just a little bit longer! These two are awesome Seminary folks who answered a message on Facebook one day when I wanted to do a random Winter photo shoot. It was early March and I was getting the photography itch. It started snowing outside and I just
It was so great to meet the littlest addition to this family. He was so teeny tiny and adorable. And he did such a great job! He slept for a little bit and let me get those sweet sleeping baby shots, and then woke up for a bit so I could see him alert and ready to take on the world. And big sister-wow did she do a great
This family is awesome. I love photographing them. I’ve photographed them several times, and you can see them again here.
I love photographing them because I get tp document their life, and that is what I long to do in my photography. I love the sessions that I do with them at their home, playing in the fountains downtown, eating brunch with their family, at Starbucks. The sessions are
I love this family. Every Monday we get together with them and 2 other couples for a small group. We share coffee and snacks and laughter and our hearts. And every week we get to see their sweet little girl growing and exploring and just being generally adorable. One recent (and unseasonably warm) day I hung out with them and photographed this beautiful family. They are our dear friends and
Talk about starting the year off right. The wedding of Michelle and Quentin was the perfect way to start this year of weddings. Michelle is one of the ladies in my book club (that doesn’t read books:)) that I always talk about. She is such an amazing person. She is spunky, fun, hilarious, genuine, sweet, beautiful, intelligent, the list really does go on. All of us girls love hearing
Wow. It’s been a great year. This is the last installment of my “best of” posts. Looking back at all these photos just makes me say “wow”. This past year has been a true blessing. I can’t believe sometimes that I get to do this for my job! I can’t believe that I these amazing, beautiful people allowed me to document their lives. Enjoy this last post
Because I love “best of” posts so much I have decided to split this last post into two posts, best of wedding moments and wedding portraits. This is the moments post. As I have mentioned before, I studied photojournalism in undergrad at loved it. And it is really in weddings that I feel like my background stands out. There is so much going on, so much excitement, so many beautiful
Engagement shoots. I love engagement shoots. It’s kind of the time where I get to wear a different hat as a photographer. I get to direct a little bit more, control the environment, and really previsualize the image that I want to make. I am a photojournalist at heart, so weddings and “day in the life” shoots are really where I shine, but to be able to take a
It’s that time of year. Well really, I guess last month would really be considered “that time of year”, but I’m a little late-better that than never right? It’s the time of year where I spend a week or so going through all my images (personal and professional) from the previous year and picking out my favorites, the images that speak to me, and turn them
This was my last shoot of 2012! What a way to end the year. The two grown ups in this picture are our friends Andy and Laura. We met them early on in our time here in Kentucky. We did a ministry with them through our church, Hope Springs, and learned a lot from and with them. They have since moved to a distant land in Kentucky and we have
