When you schedule a session with me, I typically give you at a minimum of 40 different edited images on your cd and in your slideshow.  Many sessions, have more.  I feel that I have an artistic eye to determine which are the best shots from our session, but I want you have more.  When your child has turned away and is looking in a different direction or is making a face that I may not think is portrait quality, it could be “that face”, that documents your everyday life.  I want for you to have those images.  Many of my clients, make photo books, collages, etc. with the images from our session.  This year I have seen more of my work put into photo books and have been reassured that the extra work I put into editing images that are not the “perfect smile” has been worth it.

Ms. Tanner is so much fun to work with.  She and her family have become a regular client.  Locust Grove was the prime location this fall, it’s a great place to capture many different styles of pictures.  It’s definitely one of my favorite places!

When two sweet little girls get a case of the giggles there is no better place to be than behind my lens.  I met their family at Woodhaven Country Club and we just acted silly for an hour and it was incredibly easy to capture their smiles.   I know too well that scheduling a session can be difficult, and that is why I always either try to come to your home or an area close to your home.  I know for myself, if I had to travel more than 30 minutes, my son, Logan gets motion/car sick.  It’s one of those childhood difficulties we are always trying to avoid. Thank goodness, we live close to where I work, shop and he goes to school.   Therefore, my only necessity for our session is natural light.  Although, I have some favorite places, ultimately, our location is your choice:)

Meet Miss Personality.  Emma was a model from the minute I turned the camera on. Garden Court was the perfect location for our session.  It's rare on weekend that it's empty but I am glad it was.  She is one fun kid to photograph!!!

We had fun with Angel and Fred’s engagement session.  We started at Waterfront Park and traveled to River Road, making random stops along the way.  It’s fun to watch people really in love and their love was obvious.   Thanks for a great session.

Miss. Charley is one of my regular clients, of course, I am behind on blogging but I usually try to squeeze a new post in the morning before I get my family up and moving for school.  This is her 3 month old session and I just booked her 6 month old, but there is something about a child’s eyes that can really pull you into a picture.  Miss Charley has those eyes!  She is precious.  I can’t wait to see how much you’ve grown, see you next week.

All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget.  In this--as in other ways--they are the opposite of paintings.  Paintings record what the painter remembers.  Because each one of us forgets different things. A photo more than a paining may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.” --John Berger

 Thanks Adrienne, Mike and sweet baby Aiden for a wonderful session.

All I can say is PRECIOUS!  It's not very often that I see such a young baby with sooo much expression:)

Garden Court at the Louisville Seminary is a beautiful place to have a session!   It’s a little hard to find a time when a wedding is not being held, but on a late Sunday afternoon, we lucked out.  The Doughten family was fun and easy to photograph.  Although, I LOVE running around trying to capture the personality of small children, a session like this with adults is a nice change of pace:)
