Hello, 2019

Greetings, everyone!

I’m so excited to ring in the new year. 2018 was one of the most challenging years yet, so I’m feeling pretty ready to turn the page and start fresh. A new year brings lots of promise – a chance to start again. I look over the past year and feel so proud of the changes I’ve made…

Sarah

I like to say that magic happens at my sessions. I don't mean literal magic, I mean there are moments when the lighting is amazing, my and I client are having a great time, and then BOOM, the shutter clicks. So, yeah, you could say magic was definitely happenin' at this sweet girl's session! Sarah, her mom, and I headed out at sunrise to Talon Winery and the Arboretum for these stunning photos. I think Sarah's spunk and personality definitely shines through these and I loved getting to photograph her! Best of luck to you in your future, Sarah!

The Wainright Family

It's not often that a family of ten, sprawled out across the globe from Colorado to France, makes it to Kentucky to pull off one heck of a family shoot. I was beyond thrilled to make this happen for such an incredible family!

If you have the pleasure of knowing any of these fine folks, you have surely been blessed. The love and passion that grandparents Donna and Dennis share for their family, friends, and the Lord in their life is unlike any other. Being so far away from each other has allowed Donna and Dennis to travel the world like never before, yet it's still no easy feat to be SO far away from those you love. But this family has worked out the kinks along the way and sings praise for any time they get with each other. I loved hanging out with this crew as the girls ran, played, and twirled in the grass and the adults watched. As I snapped away, the giggles and smiles soon ensued. What a treat it was to get to see the Wainright family as they've grown into the beautiful bunch they are! Love you guys!

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!

Candace

Every now and then, I am blessed to meet clients who long for different photos, who have ideas of their own, and who are creative in what they wish to capture during their session. When I met with Candace and her mom before her session, we talked about incorporating this unique location with a rock face and inlet to the Kentucky river in a friend's backyard into the session. Not only did we start the sunrise session at my favorite local vineyard, Talon Winery and Vineyards, but we ended at this amazing location where Candace seamlessly walked through a creek bed (in a dress and ballet flats, mind you) to get the most unique and stunning senior photos. I loved photographing this girl! She was so fun, yet simple, and up for literally anything. I cannot wait to see where this life takes Candace, and I know nature is definitely in her heart.

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!

Sarah
