Yet another amazingly photogenic and gorgeous senior! She was completely a natural in front of the camera too - before I could even tell her how to pose, she would already look perfect! I was so happy that even in the awful heat, she was still totally up for my crazy ideas to trek all around the park, climb back into all of these spots with big weeds and lay in the grass. I think it was worth it to get to the best lit spots and into the prettiest scenery and I hope she thinks so too! 
So any of you who are fans on facebook have already gotten to see the new man in my life but if you haven’t here he is! My new nephew Silas! He actually isn’t quite so “new” anymore - he’s already over a month old but with my sister-in-law living out of town, it took a while to finally get some time to make it up there. He was just awesome. Perfectly sleepy and quiet. It’s pretty difficult to pose babies this age, but he curled up with no problems! I could’ve stayed and played all day. I did get to visit too and give him a bottle (haven’t done that in almost 8 years believe it or not! ) and I have to say, I miss it so much! And then he fell asleep “tree-frog” style as my SIL calls it, on my chest. If it hadn’t been time to drive back home, I could’ve conked out myself. A baby sleeping on your chest is just the most peaceful thing you can ever experience. So now, I’ll let his pictures do all the talking so you can see how precious he is!
I confess, I am slightly behind on my blogging again! I apologize. I am counting the days until the bus pulls up and takes my girls back to school! I love them and I can honestly say they have been wonderful for me this summer considering they’ve seen more of the back of my head staring at the computer screen than they’ve seen my actual face :). I will miss them like crazy when they go back to school but at least then I will be able to finally catch up on all of this work! So I thank them, and all of you for being so patient with me!
I have been especially anxious to blog this session I had with these beautiful kids. They were all so sweet and fun to work with especially considering I made them get up at 9 a.m. on a summer morning (if it were me when I was that age, you were lucky to see my face before noon during the summer! :)). I don’t get to work with older kids very much so that was a fun change too. These guys were SO good with their little sister and super talented. I got to hear J play his oboe (I admit, I thought it was a clarinet though ;)) and T play his violin. And I’m not talking play like a kid who is just learning - these guys could give concerts! It was amazing how good they were. I can only imagine how much talent little miss J will have when she’s that age!
And yes, I am rolling out a new logo!! I’ve been working on it for a while and finally came up with something I like - whaddya think?? I’m hoping to unveil a new website for the new year too so stay tuned!
This was hands down one of my favorite sessions of the year. Kirsten was awesome to work with. Not only is she gorgeous (I don’t see how she doesn’t think so!!), but rarely do I have somebody I have to try hard to get to NOT smile! She was laughing and smiling the whole time. Especially when she noticed her mom posing behind me the way Kirsten was without realizing she was doing it. It got us a great laughing picture! Her mom also made me aware of the fact that I apparently do this thing when I get a really good shot where I kind of shrug my shoulders and grin really big when I look at the preview on the camera after I take it. She said she kept noticing when I did that and got really excited every time I did it :). Which was ALOT! Here’s why!!
July 20, 2010 - 5:14 pm - Beautiful! Love the light here too.
Meet Brittni, my THIRD senior ever! (I’ll stop counting soon I promise ). I am totally loving senior sessions - I’ve been so lucky to have gotten to work with some really great girls for these! For some reason, getting your pictures made always brings out the giggles and she and her mom, cousin and grandma who all came along really kept me entertained. Brittni chose downtown for her session and we found some awesome locations! I would love to post her whole session here, but just a few for now!
P.S. - If anybody out there knows of any seniors (girls or guys!) who haven’t had their senior pics made yet, I’m still taking sessions for seniors this summer! Send ‘em my way!
July 19, 2010 - 1:24 pm - These look Awesome!!!!....I cant wait to see the rest!!!! I know Brittni can't either:):)
July 19, 2010 - 11:32 pm - Beautiful portraits of a beautiful girl!
Sometimes I have a hard time believing the old saying that that’s what little boys are made of. There’s gotta be something much sweeter and cuter in that mix. Just look at these little guys. Their smiles just made me melt! And big brother was so full of personality - we had a full conversation before we finished walking from the parking lot to the train! (Didn’t I promise I would be back to this train??) It was definitely a very “boy” session - a train, a little red wagon, and a big pile of old tires that were perfect considering that Cars is a favorite movie of these guys. Forget “Say cheese!”, big brother was all about going “Kachow!” like Lightning McQueen! It definitely made for some fun shots!
July 18, 2010 - 4:02 am - Great Kelly! I can't wait to see the rest!
Love must be in the air - this is the third engagement session I’ve had in a month! But it’s the perfect season for it especially at Bernheim Forest, where we shot Ashley and Austin’s engagement pictures. The wildflowers were blooming like crazy! It was beautiful and a perfect setting for this couple. You know when you meet some people and you just know right away that you’re going to like them and that they are truly genuinely nice people?? That’s how these guys are. They have so much going for them too - both of them are set to graduate from college in the spring right before they get married and start grad school. And to top it all off… they’re U of L fans!!! Yay!!! 
Even if they weren’t I wouldn’t mind :). I had a great time getting to know them and I was just floored and so touched when about a week later, I’m getting ready to leave for a photo session and they pull up on the street with a gift for me! I had had to change the time of our session around and it was blistering hot the night we did pictures so they got me the most awesome awesome U of L thermal cup with a lid to take with me to my sessions! I just can’t get over how thoughtful it was and how they went out of their way to bring it to me! (And they were right, ice like WILL NOT melt in this thing! Even after sitting in the hot car for an hour!). I really feel honored to be their wedding photographer and look forward to working with them more!
July 18, 2010 - 11:37 pm - love them!!
July 24, 2010 - 2:57 pm - LOVE the one with the ring around the flowers. How creative!
So for the first time in years, I actually have plans on New Year’s Eve already! Instead of the usual sitting on the couch in my pj’s watching the ball drop (if I even stay up that late :)) , I’ll be in Bardstown photographing what I’m sure will be one pretty awesome wedding. I was pretty excited after I met Tiffanie and her mom and we discussed all of the details. I have to admit, I had never heard of getting married on New Year’s Eve, but the more I thought about, I thought, why not?? What a better way to start the New Year, huh? So I headed to Bardstown (which is starting to feel like a second home I’m there so much lately! :)) to take their engagement photos. We got some “pretty” pictures at My Old Kentucky Home and then stopped downtown to get some more “urban” pictures with the car. Yes, the car. :) Just like the dog for some people, Wesley really wanted some with his car and they are actually some of favorites! I think it’s great to incorporate that kind of thing in your pictures - it really gives them some added personality! Such a cool couple - I’m looking forward to ringin in the New Year on their big day!
July 18, 2010 - 2:43 am - Love them :)
July 18, 2010 - 5:23 am - These are so good!!! Can't wait to see more!! Tiff you look gorgeous!
July 18, 2010 - 6:45 pm - These are great! Looking forward to New Year's Eve!
July 21, 2010 - 2:17 pm - Tiffanie these pics are awesome!!!
Yet another shoot that makes me feel SOOOO old! Mrs. A here was the very FIRST newborn I ever photographed and now she’s 18 months old! She and her big brother here are lucky enough to have one of my best friends as their doting aunt and lucky for me, she and her sister had enough faith in me to let me practice on her. I’m so happy that I’ve gotten to watch these two grow. I get to hear stories all the time about how funny and cute they are and they did not disappoint! I know their momma was nervous about whether or not they would cooperate and especially let us get a shot of them together, but they had lots of fun together and were completely adorable. Mr. C is such a great big brother - I asked him to make his sister laugh and so he asked her in a silly voice “Are you cold, Missy??” and she just thought it was hilarious! They had no problem hugging each other and holding hands - I couldn’t have asked for a better session with them!
July 10, 2010 - 3:05 am - Well, their Ammy couldn't be more proud! You did a beautiful job with my beautiful grandbabies Kelly. Can't wait to see the rest!
July 10, 2010 - 2:34 pm - They are beautiful Kelly! I can't wait to see the rest!
July 10, 2010 - 5:51 pm - Precious lil' ones! These look awesome.
July 12, 2010 - 4:25 pm - Their Great Aunt thinks these pictures are just beautiful and they of course are too! I'm susre that the rest of the pictures will be just as good.
July 13, 2010 - 4:13 pm - Wow, I love these!! Get more and more excited about our session together with Silas! :D
July 13, 2010 - 11:05 pm - You did an awesome job with my wonderful grandbabies! These are precious. I look forward to seeing all the others. I am a very proud and thankful Nana!
Meet my latest little newborn friend! I just don’t even have words to describe how angelic he was. Just the sweetest, most laid back lil guy with the most rockin hair! And how lucky he is - such amazing parents and a big sister who I just know will give him tons of attention and take such good care of him.
June 28, 2010 - 4:06 am - Love these! I could admire your pictures for days!
June 28, 2010 - 12:20 pm - sooo precious! I wish they could stay that little. I adore that first one, super sweet!
June 28, 2010 - 12:40 pm - oh goodness k these are gorgeous...love that hair and your genius use of natural light!
June 28, 2010 - 12:43 pm - So beautiful! Makes me want another : )
June 28, 2010 - 1:46 pm - These are beautiful .. I totally love the first one specially :)) cherished one :>
July 9, 2010 - 1:53 am - Kelly Hope things are going well for you. I love visiting your site! Would you email or FB me the cost of a session for a newborn? My grandson is due in a few weeks and I want to give them a session for a shower gift. Where do we get the pictures made? Do you have a site? Hope to hear from you soon!
July 9, 2010 - 3:06 am - These are just wonderful. Love the one of mommy and child. Precious.
