Hello!
2011 was such an incredible year! I had the opportunity to work with some wonderful couples, spent a year in Louisville, moved my business to Lexington, started making plans to open a studio within my home, found an super sweet kitten, traveled to visit with friends, traveled to shoot engagement sessions and weddings, pushed myself as an artist, learned more about creative lighting, met a wonderful photographer who will be shooting with me this year and found an incredible group of photographers in town.
A huge thank you to everyone who invited me to be a part of their wedding day! I absolutely love photography and am able to do it professionally because yall continue to support me and my business.
Below is a selection of my favorite photos from 2011. Looking forward to an amazing 2012. So excited to meet more couples and wedding vendors around Kentucky!
Happy Friday Night!!

MOVING PICTURES!
SOOO EXCITEDDD!!
Have been wanting to try this out for quite sometime now. Took a snow day today and spent the afternoon learning how to make a moving still photo. I have so many ideas and scenes to try out over the next few weeks. Below is my first attempt. Not quite sure how to incorporate this into the professional side of my work just yet but think it would be awesome to be able to give each couple one as a part of their engagement session.
Here's a little post Christmas cheer as I have yet to put away all my holiday decorations.
Happy Friday!

CHRISTMAS DAY PROPOSAL!
I can not think of a better way to start off the year than with this happy news .. MY LIL BROTHER IS ENGAGED!!
He did such an amazing job not only picking a perfect girl [welcome to the family, Ashley!] but also got a gorgeous ring and orchestrated a total surprise proposal. Both of our families have been talking about them getting engaged soon and they have been out looking at rings. So how do you maintain the element of surprise when everyone is expecting it? This is how ..
Here's how it all began. Let's go back to early December when Raj sent me a casual text asking if I may be free on Christmas Day to take some photos of him, Ashley and their pup. They live in Minneapolis. Each time they visit we talk about setting aside some time to do group shots but always end up getting too busy and it get's pushed to 'next time.' So I just assumed he was getting Ashley a photo session as a Christmas gift and didn't think much of it.
So Christmas Day arrives and we all exchange gifts. Raj got Ashley an awesome Louis Vuitton purse and scarf, which she has wanted for a long time; and she thinks that's it for the surprises for the day. That afternoon just before sunset we head out to Keeneland for what both Ashley and I think is a 'quick photo session.'
After spending some time at Keeneland Raj said he was getting cold [which I thought was pretty odd since it was 50 degrees and they are from Minneapolis] and that we should just get one more shot and then head home. So the last shot he wanted was of the grandstands in the background and the two of them pretty small in the foreground. So he asked that I go stand on the other side of the track.
Here is that 'last shot' he requested .. which turned into a series.
Congratulations to you both!! So excited!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

COURTNEY + DAVID :: LOUISVILLE E-SESSION
Check out Courtney and David's uber urban E-Session! They will be getting married next year in a beautiful bed n breakfast so they wanted a total 180 for their engagement photos.
We spent a chilly afternoon wandering around downtown Louisville.. they don't look at all cold though, do they? I had to much fun with these two running around the city and dodging traffic to get a few shots in the middle of the street. I love shooting in downtown settings .. so much color, so many textures and so many options for backdrops ..
Thanks for a great afternoon! Looking forward to your wedding!!

PATTI + MIKE :: IROQUOIS HUNT CLUB WEDDING
The Iroquois Hunt Club .. WOW! What a beautiful venue! I didn't even know this place existed until Patti and Mike invited me to take a tour with them a few weeks before their wedding. I love the rustic feel, woodsy grounds, wrought iron chandeliers and candlelight everywhere. Patti and Mike did a great job creating an intimate feel for their guests.
