Sneak peek

I have known Amanda and Gabe for about five years.  It’s so amazing to see how their friendship turned into romance.  Gabe is so good for Amanda and he makes her laugh.  Watching them interact together was so sweet and adorable – I’m a fan!  As a photographer, I often get the privilege of sharing in some intimate moments with couples.  It’s so awesome to see people in love :).  I’m thankful I get to celebrate their love story!  I can’t wait for their Wedding!  Here’s some from their Engagement Session at Louisville’s Speed Art Museum.  Feel free to pick your favorites – and yes, you can have more than one :)

Looking forward to your big day! For more of Amanda and Gabe’s engagement session, click here.

The Ball Family is one of my favorite families in Louisville.   For one, they are pretty much zany.  Yep, I said zany… that is probably the best word to describe them.  They are just fun – people just like to hang out with them – single people, college students – pretty much everyone.  I think that is pretty awesome if your family just makes everyone feel at home and included.   That’s how I feel with them.   Here’s some with my session with the incredible zany Ball family :)

Every fourth of July, my family has a big party and we have a turtle race.   Yes, i realize that all you PETA members out there might be alarmed to hear that my five year old cousin tried to give the turtle lots of sugar so his turtle might win the race.   The turtle may have been in a sugar coma since he came in last place this year.   Anyways, the real reason I am writing this post is so that i can announce the winner of the free Photoshoot.   Drum roll….    Stephanie Hull!!!  woo hoo.. way to go girl.   Keep posted for more fun contests and get your turtles ready for next years big race.

ryland lakes fall ohotography-5

 

One of the best things about living in Kentucky is the fall. For the last two years, typical fall brilliance was lacking – but this year – A-Mazing! I have been at Ryland Lakes the past few days – recouping from surgery at my mom’s house. I couldn’t be at a better place especially during the fall. Ryland Lakes is a little community in Ryland Heights, KY – Several lakes and a golf course adorn the area. You can visit Ryland Lakes Country Club. Most people ride around on golf carts all day. That is what i did when i went out to take these fall photos. Check it out

Life in Abundance

posted in Missions

Was invited by spend yourself to attend a fund raising dinner for LIA – an awesome organization that is impacting the world in the name of Christ – i have an opportunity to work with LIA this summer – i am so looking forward to it!! And the founder is an amazing lady – so humble – in fact i didn’t even know she was the one that started all of this until someone told me. The first time i met her – she just wanted to talk about Jesus :) – you can see why i like her so much. And definitely someone that inspires me. You will most likely hear more in the future.

Destin Beach-7

 

Sitting here in long johns (ok.. not long johns…a cuter version) – but as i sit here bundled up to protect my sun tanned skin from the coldness of KY – the memory of my vacay in Destin is that much sweeter. I just want to live on the beach – Destin is great, but really any beach will do :) I mean i am a wedding photographer.. i could do my wedding photography business from there :) But alas.. i am in KY. I like KY tho – especially in the fall when the leaves are gorgeous. I need to go on a fall photoshoot. But for now.. here are some highlights of my Destin beach trip. Don’t be jealous of my sweet tan :) which btw.. no one can see with all the clothes i am wearing to keep warm Ha. oh well.
Here’s me trying to keep my hat on – it was windy.

playing with my shadow :) I get restless sometimes.. and i find stuff to do like take pics of my shadow. haha

Jessica caught the big ones

But at least i wasn’t scared to take them off the hook. But apparently i talk to the fish as i do it.. lol. Jessica caught this as i was talking calmly to the fish and apologizing for hooking him. I am kind of a ‘fish whisperer’ :)
