  • Melissa: I am a close friend of Kamille's and I have to say I am really sad I don't live in Kentucky so that you could take pictures of MY family (and to be close to the Bayless;s too). You work is amazing! Honestly, you captured their family spirit perfectly. (12.24.2010 04:24am)

kristina + robert | Louisville Wedding Photographer | Caldwell Chapel

posted in Weddings


You may remember Kristina and Robert from their engagement photography session in September. I had so much fun being their photographer that we just instantly became friends. A little over two years since they first met and now they are married!!! This was one of the most traveled weddings that I have other done with four different destinations around Louisville.  We started in New Albany at the Sheraton, went to the Falls of the Ohio, then to Louisville at the Presbyterian Seminary Caldwell Chapel near Garden Court and then Jeffersonville, Indiana to have the reception at 300 Spring Street. Now that’s a destination wedding!!  haha.    Their wedding was beautiful and so was Kristina. I think I was just as taken aback as her family when I saw her for the first time in her mermaid style wedding dress – she was stunning!!! Robert was so blown away seeing her the first time – he just kept holding her hand. I love this picture because it shows the warmth of their wedding.

Their whole wedding had a warmth to it which I believe shows in their wedding photography. The day started out at the Sheraton Riverside in New Albany (across the river from Louisville) where the bridal party stayed the night before.  Kristina wrote Robert a letter while everyone was putting together the final touches to look gorgeous for her fall wedding.

It was such a beautiful day with the fall colors and the warm weather, I just had to take the bridal party to the beach at the Falls of the Ohio for their outdoor wedding photos.  The bridal party was so much fun and so willing to do a little extra to get some stunning and amazing photographs for Kristina and Robert’s special day (even if it meant climbing rocks).  haha

Her sister had the best maid of honor toast I have ever heard… i guess it was more like a rap than a toast.  Believe me i looked everywhere for a copy to post her infamous wedding rap, but i haven’t been able to find it.   Here’s a photo of the memorable event and Kristina’s reaction is priceless.

Louisville Family Photographer |Eli | Crestwood, KY

posted in Children, Family

Sometimes babies don’t want their picture taken.  haha.  I Love this one of Eli.   He’s giving me the look.. the eye of the tiger look. (It’s kinda our song.)  He is saying,  “Aunt Julie, take that camera outa my face.”  Oh buddy!!  I have to take pictures of you – I can’t help myself :).

Z-man | Louisville Baby Photographer

posted in Family

It’s really unfair for you to expect me to keep this photography blog about an adorable baby short.   It was so hard to pick!!!   I love everyone of  z-man’s little baby pictures.   He is just too presh (yes, that’s a word).   This little one has been through a lot in his short life so far.   Ezekiel is a fighter and his parents are just as amazing.   Here are some of my favorites from his louisville family session.  Please vote for your faves (as many as you like).

I love watching how parents interact with their child.   It’s fun to watch his reaction with his mom.
