Stevi

It seems like yesterday I was watching her start high school and now she's about to graduate! I can't believe how fast time slips away sometimes. I loved getting to shoot Stevi as one of my Senior Reps. This girl has the most beautiful smile, sweetest heart, and amazing personality. So when Stevi's mom suggested we do the session at their farm with their horses and Stevi's precious kitten, I was ALL IN. I am so pleased with all of these photos and have been dying to post them! *insert all the heart eyes* I hope your senior year is amazing, Stevi, and I wish you the very best!

Holly and Micah

During my model call for a styled shoot in the Red River Gorge, I met with Holly and Micah to see if they were a fit for the shoot. Once we got talking, I knew we would have a blast and get some amazing shots with the gorgeous landscapes and perfectly-golden sun. (All the heart eyes!)

We headed out to the Gorge one evening and I photographed these two on the way to our stop at Chimney Rock. I loved how these two giggled, played, and loved on each other throughout their session. They're such a sweet couple and it's been an honor to capture their love through my lens. Congratulations, you two!

Parker's Birth Story

Going into this delivery, I was completely blind. I had never photographed a live childbirth nor had ever seen one in real life and, oh my goodness, was I in for an amazing experience!

Courtney gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Saturday, July 23rd at 10:01am with her sweet husband, Ryan, at her side. The wonderful midwife, doctors, and nurses who helped mama with a smooth delivery deserve all the praises and high-fives for doing their jobs so well and wonderfully. Soon after Courtney gave birth, the room was flooded with hugs, love, and pure joy as family members and close friends trickled in to meet baby Parker for the first time.

I don't think I have ever experienced something so wonderful and so mesmerizing in my life. Not only did I bawl like a baby (no pun intended) through the whole thing, but my heart felt overwhelmed with joy for these precious parents. Being present as this precious baby was brought into the world was an honor and a joy to photograph. Thank you so much, Courtney and Ryan, for entrusting me with this incredible opportunity. I absolutely look forward to capturing more births in the future!

Michelle

This summer, I started a Senior Rep program to help promote my business to the class of 2017. I've recruited a handful of hand-picked seniors from high schools across Central Kentucky for this amazing experience. Michelle, a senior at Bryan Station High School, was first up! At her consultation, I mentioned how much I wanted to do a sunrise session and Michelle was completely on board to do it! We met right at 6:00 in the morning to start shooting at Talon Winery here in Lexington and I can honestly say I've never had so much fun that early in the day! We spent the morning walking around the gorgous grounds and even snapped a few of Michelle and her sweet mama at the end. There are not many things I'd get up at 6:00am for, but STUNNING senior photos like these is definitely one of those things! (Granted, I took two naps that day to catch up on sleep! Ha!) Thank you, Michelle, for being such a stellar Senior Rep! You are such a joy to be around and to photograph. I wish you the very best in your endeavors throughout your senior year and beyond!

County Fair with Miss Molly Vintage

It's always a fun time when Emily and I can get out and shoot! The sweet owner of Miss Molly Vintage and I have done several awesome shoots together but I think this one is my favorite one yet! I loved Emily's vintage dress with the color scheme, the small town vibe and vintage, kitschy feel of the carnival. Head over to her blog to get the full outfit details!
