Garrett is a young man that is truly his own.  He wanted to do a senior photo shoot that truly captured who he was.   So, we ended up pumping iron in the gym and bowling strikes in a neon bowling alley.   So, fun!!  Garrett helped to get his bowling team going at his high school and his team was even champions!!  Here are some of my favorites from our senior photography session in East Louisville.

Have a great senior year Garrett!!  Hope you bowl another 300 game!!!

Had an awesome group senior photography session with 4 senior guys. Here is just a little tease of what’s to come…

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.. :) Have a great Senior Year Kyle!!!

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 :)
Did i mention i found this amazing blue door under the bridge.. i kinda wanna go exploring!!



gotta show off the heels :)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
hello hot stuff!


these next two are some of my faves..


this sweet old lady let us borrow this stool :)

Had so much fun being your photographer for the day, Claire!! Have a great year at UK and congrats on the Graduation. Say Hi to my hometown and give a rebel yell for me :)

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.




And what would a senior picture be without a sledge hammer!!

or some cars!! Her dad has 3 girls and no boys – this is why the girls are tom boys :). He also named his semi trucks after each one of the girls.





And we all know how much i love barns! Fortunately – i live in KY – so i have ample supply.

This is one of my favorite senior pictures.

Out in Boone County – there is not a lot of traffic – so it was easy to get these photos,



Her Dad gave her a tire swing for Xmas. We had to play :)

Kentucky in the fall is really amazing – It was a great day to take senior pictures.


We also played on this big green tractor – any songs come to mind :)

And here’s a little evidence that gas used to only cost .99 cents — remember the days.

Thanks Lexi for a great day – enjoyed being your photographer – have a great senior year. Hope you win lots more track medals!!

and study hard!

First of all, i have ever mentioned how much i love to do senior pictures. I have so much fun every time. I think having a background in youth ministry really helps in this area, plus seniors are always so fun and willing to try crazy things like doing yoga on the railroad or exploring abandoned farmhouses. Ha! yep! Girls like Kelsey are one of the reasons that i love being a wedding and portrait photographer. We did this senior photography session all over louisville – from east louisville to west Louisville. Yep… from the farm lands to the city : Senior Pictures here – Senior Pictures there. Here are some of the highlights. Love the cool vintage photo affect on this one.




A classic senior picture – the grandparents always like these the best.

Me: Kelsey why don’t you chase all those geese. Kelsey: COOL

these next two pictures are awesome. two very distinct different sides of Kelsey.. love being able to capture that as a photographer



love the sun flare on this picture


last but not least.. i like the feel of this one!!
