Kelly and Tony were/are as in love as any one couple I’ve ever met.   They had their wedding at the Duncan Memorial Chapel in Crestwood, Kentucky.  It was a beautiful chapel in a unique setting.   When Tony looked at Kelli the love poured from his eyes.  It was such an honor to be a witness and to capture, a wedding that I truly believe will last a lifetime.

Kristen and Greg were married at St. Theresa in Nelson County, Kentucky.  If anyone knows me, they know I love to observe people, I could sit for hours at a park or a restaurant and watch others with their family and friends while the world goes on around me.  Not to judge, but to see the beauty in everyone.  That is why I love photography,  I can observe and “capture” .  Young couples in love are fun because the room is filled with so much promise, they have so many plans for the future, buying a home, starting a family-having children, so many dreams. 

Kristen was absolutely breath taking.  She and her family are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and it was such an honor to capture their wedding.

Sara and Tau are a wonderful couple.  They had their wedding on the CQ Princess at Captains Quarters in Prospect, Kentucky.  It was a BEAUTIFUL September morning.  The week leading up to the wedding the weather was just horrible and I was a hoping for great weather for their sail.  And it was just that…..

Sara looked stunning, she is as funny as she is beautiful.  A lot of times after I photograph new families and people, I almost feel like we become friends….no exception with Sara.  After spending a short time with her,  I felt like I’d known her for years!   Best wishes, Sara and Tau for many years of happiness.

I met the Rinadli Family at Locust Grove one evening, which by far was my favorite location this fall.  I have many, many more family sessions to post that were taken there.  Although, my goal is to focus on you and your child, having a diverse location with a lot of elements makes for a great session.  At Locust Grove, we have trees, a house with a front porch, open fields, a patch of the most colorful flowers as well as lots of older doors and buildings.  Soooo, if you ask me where is my favorite place to shoot, this would be it.   They were referred to me by Kyton’s family and after posting these two sessions….they kind of look alike!  Both incredibly CUTE!

Meet Mr. Kyton.  He is as cute as his name!   I met he, his grandma and his mom at their home.  We just played in the backyard….actually we played in their neighbor’s backyard.   I’m in love with his red hair and blue eyes!

It’s always fun catching up with friends from college.  Brayden’s mom, Missy was a sorority sister and I have not seen her in years.  She was just as sweet and cute as ever:)  I met Missy at her home, as I do with a lot of sessions.   Brayden’s blue eyes just sparkled in every picture!!!! He was working on sitting up and was doing a fantastic job.  Such a mild mannered little guy.   Thanks for allowing me to capture Brayden’s 6 month old moments.

Engagement sessions are always fun, there is so much love to capture.

I met Stacy and Adam at Cherokee Park and from there we traveled to Garden Court, River Road and then to the Yum! Center.  Go Cards!   I loved the idea of them bringing their children to the session.  The older I get, the more I am surrounded by second marriages and friends with children that are getting married.  Therefore, with my sessions, I rarely follow any “rules”.  My “idea” of photography is to photograph life not just as I see it, but as you live it.  

Something I have come to learn from personal experiences over the course of this past year is the term “family” does not have to  be defined as Mom, Dad and children.  The definition just needs to include love.  I have a stronger sense of family and love today than I’ve ever had.   

Thanks, Adam and Stacy for a great session, can’t wait to photograph your wedding.
