Katie and Jarrod’s wedding day was absolutely magical! Taylor and I arrived at Katie’s Parent’s house which was only a few miles away from the venue, and our breath was taken away at the sight of Katie! She looked like a Princess and her dress was absolutely to die for! Copper Roux was such an elegant venue. Taylor and I absolutely loved the warmth inside the building and it truly made for the perfect wedding venue for Katie and Jarrods big day.
Read MoreTaylor & I drove to Albany, Kentucky last Wednesday evening to meet with Victoria and Eli for their engagement session. I have been counting down the days until we were able to meet with them and capture these moments for them both. And can we talk about how beautiful the drive from Nancy towards Albany is. I absolutely love driving through Monticello and viewing those big rolling Kentucky hills. It will take your breath away. We both get so excited when we have to travel through Monticello!
Read MoreI am so excited to share this session with you all. When I first started talking to Autumn and was getting to know Blake and her’s story, my heart completely melted for the two of them. And then when I met them in person for the first time this past Tuesday for their Engagement session, it was clear to me that they were truly meant for one another.
Read MoreWhen Dalton & Breanna arrived to the Tree Farm, we had just a few minutes of sunlight left & it was perfect. Dalton looked a little nervous which was so sweet & Breanna had no clue! She was just ready to have some Christmas Tree Farm photos taken, not even aware that such a special moment was about to happen. The day your future husband proposes to you, it’s a day you will never ever forget. So hiring a professional to photograph/video your special moment is worth the investment. Let me tell you why.
Read MoreBen + Allison’s love is pure and beautiful. It was literally like hanging out with two best friends who just so happen to be madly in love with one another. You can not get much better than that, am I right? Since Ben used to work at the Distillery, we got a super awesome private tour of the place. I have never been to a Distillery before so I felt super cool to be able to get this awesome tour AND snap some photos in the location. This was so much fun and was the perfect unique location for these two.
Read MoreI have been so excited to share these photos with you all. Caleb and Jordan were so sweet to allow me to blog this session and for working so hard on their makeup. If you didn’t know, Jordan is a Cosmologist and works at the Halo Salon and she is absolutely amazing at what she does. Want to see some of her work, check out her information here.
Read MoreMy whole life I had dated and always got hurt. I just knew from the beginning he was so much more. Through those other relationships, I never loved myself. While dating Justin, I have finally learned to feel confident and love who I am. We are so close and more than each other best friends. I CANNOT wait to marry him and be his wife. We love our little country & busy life.
Read MoreThe galleries I send tend to be a mix of photos of your child’s favorite toys, close-ups of nose scrunches, tender moments between siblings, silly faces, so many hugs and kisses, and a liquid that will inevitably spill…. pun intended. Of course I try to throw in a few standard smiling photos for Grandma, but I see photographs as a record, and more importantly, a story that deepens your own understanding of yourself and the legacy you are leaving with your children and grandchildren.
Read MoreThese moments are real. Nothing staged or overly posed. I was an observer. An admirer.
I use to carry this weight of responsibility. But as I’ve grown as an artist, the more I let that responsibility go. I’m inspired by the natural rhythm of your family. I may tell you where to stand and tweak a few minor things but the rest is up to you. I really like to let your kids guide us and your relationship unfold. That’s when the true magic happens.
Read MoreImagine this: It’s 30 years into the future and you’re looking at the most precious pictures you have ever seen. In fact, you have seen them before—many times. And every single time you do, their raw loveliness makes you stop, breathe a little deeper, and focus a little more closely. Most of the time, what strikes you as particularly beautiful has a hint of the exotic, the faraway, the extraordinary. But that’s not the case with these pictures. The beauty of these pictures is directly proportional to how much familiarity they contain.
Their beauty is in the familiarity of details. The way your baby used to smile when your husband sang to him. The way your son’s feet couldn’t touch the floor when he sat in his favorite chair. The way your husband looked at you as you were holding your child close. Their beauty comes from the truths they tell. How life was sometimes harder than you could have ever imagined. How authentic happiness took you by surprise. How much you all loved each other then—and how much you always will.
I want to give you this experience of familiar and truthful beauty. It’s an experience you can access every time you see the pictures I took when you and your loved ones were being your unguarded selves. When you trust that your photographer has an eye for what’s truly beautiful, you can let go and just live in front of the camera. That’s when the most enchanting stories play out. That’s when what you really want to remember can be captured.
Read MoreThe hike to the Pinnacles was not easy, just a warning to everyone who has yet to be there. We took the steepest yet shortest trail towards the East Pinnacle and the view was absolutely breathtaking. I had mentioned to Taylor that the hike was a perfect represetation of Christianity. The path way towards the top was not easy and even though we had to stop and take a break a few times, once we arrived at the top it was all worth it. It was worth the struggles to witness the beauty at the top of that journey.
Read MoreI had the pleasure of first working with Madison and Devin during their maternity session almost a year ago. Instantly, I could sense the true love that they had for one another and it is always so refreshing to witness a couple so in love. The way Devin’s eyes would sparkle at the site of her, how Madison held a gorgeous smile every time she would look over at him, everything about them belonged in a romantic movie.
