have a great senior year Kayla!!

Here’s a senior photography session i am working on….

I’ve known Kyle since he was in 6th grade and now he is a SENIOR. Wow.. i feel old. I feel even older for saying that .. haha. His family is one of my faves… a few years ago, we had a church photo directory made with pictures of all the families. Kyle and his family showed up in crazy outfits… stripes and checks and everything else you can imagine. They still have it up in their house. Haha… they are so much fun.. so i knew my Photography session with Kyle was going to be fun!! Here is a glimpse of my senior shoot with Kyle… complete with canoe, cowboy hat and tennis racket.. :)

This girl goes to my old high school!! Boone County High School- woot, woot!! I was so excited to do her Senior Photos!! She drove all the way to Louisville just to get them done! We ended up shooting most of them in Indiana tho, because Louisville had so much going on. So- we crossed the Louisville 2nd street bridge to Jeffersonville and had an amazing senior photo shoot :)

Apparently it’s hard to balance on a log looking backwards…when i asked her to cross her legs..she started laughing. It’s not just a Senior portrait shoot — we also work on yoga moves .. :) needless to say, the legs never crossed. haha

For a Mother’s Day gift, Christian decided to get his Mom something she would love – Pictures of her son. That is a gift that Mom’s will always want – a guaranteed great Mother’s Day gift. I did an event for Christian’s family at Asiatique this past winter. This family is great fun and i really enjoyed getting to hang with their son for the afternoon. I always love taking photos for teenagers and doing Senior Photos because they are so fun and adventurous. Christian was no different.. we had a great time hiking all around the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary at Garden Court. If you have never been to Garden Court – you need to especially if you are looking for a place to have your wedding. It’s a beautiful place to have your wedding and your reception. The Louisville Seminary is also a beautiful place to take photos. Here are some of the afternoon adventure with Christian.

We just did fun boy type stuff. Luckily i grew up in a neighborhood of boys – i was definitely a tom-boy.. so i have this adventurous streak in me as well. We found a trail, got in pipes, followed a creek and climbed trees. yep.. all in a day’s work :)

When a tree is held together by a chain.. does that mean it’s dangerous to climb :P haha. Just so you know Mom, we didn’t know that until we were already in the tree!! So, we just made the most of it.

Christian has always loved to climb trees.. so when i saw this awesome tree, i was happy to let him do what he loves :) and no chains this time!!

posted in Family, Seniors

While i was visiting Minnesota – i thought i would do a mini photography session with my best friend and her children in Eden Prairie. I have known Cheri since college – we were asked to be in a promotional photoshoot for the college. The photos were used to promote the school but this is where i first met my friend -Cheri. And from there- our friendship just grew. We became close friends when we went to seminary together and she has always been an encouragement for me and constantly pointed me to Christ. You can’t get enough of those type of friends – you know.

Louisville Photography Senior-18

 

And did i mention turkey feathers and street signs? What do these have in common? One guy -Mark. Mark is a student at the Southern Seminary in Louisville and he wanted to get some pictures for his mom. But, of course, he wanted to take some off the wall photos to give his Mom first before he gives her the nice ones :) Boys like to tease their Moms and i can just imagine her face as he gives some of the ones i am about to show you. Not to worry Mom.. good ones are coming. Here are a few from our louisville photography session – I hope you have as much fun viewing them as i did taking them.

Lexi | Senior Pics

posted in Seniors

Went out to Boone County – my old stomping ground- to take senior pictures for Lexi. Lexi is a senior at Ryle High School but she lives way out in Boone County on a farm. We had so much fun. She plays piano at her church so we had to incorporate her baby grand :) Tell me if you think she looks like Jasmine Star in this picture.
Such a pretty senior girl. It always amazes me how different each photography shoot can be and how personalities show through – Lexi had such a classic look and it shows.
