7 votes // vote as favoriteThese next pictures began with this statement. Me (hesistantly).. ‘well. i have an idea but i’m not sure about it… ‘ (I was kinda scared to even suggest it. ) She said, oh what is it? Me… “well. i would love to have to her above the family sign but that may be too scary.” Mom. “She barely moves- she will be fine. That is a great idea.” I was pretty excited.. and mom was completely right she didn’t even move.. except to cry eventually from being on a hard surface. And they are some of my favorite pictures.

Little babies are so adorable….. i can’t believe i get paid to be a photographer. I love photography and i get to hold babies, play with children, capture that toe-tingling affection between a newly engaged couple and forever make weddings memorable through doing what i love to do.. take photos. It is definitely a joy to be able to be a photographer and show you all these amazing Louisville people and little people that i meet. This Ivy – she is all baby girl with her little hair bows and little wavy curls in her hair. She is 1 years old.. and lots of energy and wonder. Her Daddy is completely wrapped around her finger.. i caught it in a picture :). I couldn’t resist snapping this as he watched his baby play. He was completely unaware that i was photographing him.
Yep.. Daddy is a little taken with his baby girl.

I must admit that shoots with children make me nervous… especially when there are a lot of kids. It’s because you never know what to expect and i want to do a great job for you as your photographer… so i get nervous. But each session always turns out wonderful… and there are lot of funny moments and great photos of children. The extended Dabney family gets together every two weeks to hang out as a family.. which i think is just plain awesome. The Grandma asked me to get photos of her grandbabies – all 9 of them! i was happy to oblige.
Here are a few from the session.. please take a moment and just enjoy all the interactions and distractions in these photos. Kids are so much fun!!

I met a little boy from Greenville, Indiana who didn’t know the word slow or stop.. haha. Seriously – he was a consistent bundle of energy from the time i arrived til he went down for a nap!! And i needed a nap too!! haha. He was adorable.. and constantly moving. I don’t know how his parents do it every day. Here are some photos of my adventures in Greenville with Jacob and his family :)

A few weekends ago – i headed out to Henderson, KY to take pictures of one of my best friends and her family. Downtown Henderson is actually pretty cute – and we got some great shots. I love heathers family.. so fun.. lots of laughter. And their family is so close – they are great to be with – you feel like part of the family :). If they didn’t live all the way in Henderson- i would be over there for dinner!! Here is Heather and her sister, Holly – who is a bit of a pincher (she gets me every time).
