Portrait: JAX

I

t was going to be a super hot day so we met fairly early at the park for the photoshoot.  Meet JAX...is that not the cutest name?  He had his baseball gear and the most adorable little side smile all ready to go for the shoot, but have you ever known a 2 year old to stand still for more than 1.2 seconds?  But to me these are the most fun !  He was such a sport!

I had so much fun chasing him around and after a bit I think he warmed up to the fact that his parents were letting some strange lady follow him around chanting " don't smile Jax" only to get one...then a few.

Thank you so much guys for choosing me to capture Jax's 2 year old {super awesome} expressions!:)

WEDDING: MARK & AMANDA

I

have been to a lot of weddings in my life and I have witnessed very happy brides and then a few that I walked away maybe a little worried about…ha! But I am pretty sure that this bride may go down in history as the happiest bride I have ever seen. All the way home I thought, she is going to be exhausted but not from standing all day but from smiling all day. I have never seen a bride smile and laugh the way that Amanda did, and I gotta say her groom was right there behind her. I have known Amanda since we were kids and was truly honored when I was asked to capture this special day for her. She waited just about as long as I did to find her soul mate and you could tell that she couldn’t have been more thrilled with her choice !

 Her laughter was contagious! :)

JUST MARRIED!

 

It was truly a joyous occasion...thank you so much for the opportunity!! I wish you guys all the happiness in the world!!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Well, I was going to post this yesterday but my internet was down...so hopfully everyone had a safe and happy holiday! I am so very thankful to those that have laid down thier lives so that we could all be free. Free to go to the church of our choice, free to start up a business of any kind, and free to convict someone of murder if they choose to take anothers life; (yes I have been following the case and will be so glad when it is over! ) God bless America.... so very blessed indeed we are! :) 

LOCAL REALITY STAR: JULIE SMITH HEADS TO HOLLYWOOD

You may know her as one of the “Southern Belles” a reality show that aired a couple of years ago, or from the (Bob Guiney) season of "The Bachelor". You may have seen her co-hosting on The CW’s Louisville Live morning show in the past year, or on her current show “View from the ‘Ville” which btw, airs Saturdays at 4:30pm On WKYI-TV channel 38 on insight. Whew! **Hello** no doubt Julie is a very busy girl with lots of talent and ability! She sets her sights high and after what she wants and is determined to do what she loves for a living. Holla ~ Love it! I think though what I love most about Julie is that she really is so down to earth and sweet. I mean you would think that with all the opportunity that is coming her way, she may be tempted to get a little “highfalutin acting” ha ha “highfalutin” I think I got that term from my mother…anyway. She is not that at all! She is not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well! I was THRILLED to have to opportunity to shoot a portrait session at one of our favorite places to eat Proof on Main before she sets her sights on the big move to L.A... to pursue a full time career in news and entertainment.

   This girl knows what she is doing n front of the camera ~ That's FO SHO!

                                                                                                         

HA HA! For you Louisville natives, you probably know all about the little Red Penguins at Proof on Main...the resaurant located inside 21c Museum Hotel in Downtown Louisville and well we just thought we would have a little fun with one. .') hee

 So I thought since God didn't make me to be tall and skinny, I would just take pics of those that are :)

Wishing you the very best Julie!   We will anxiously be awaiting to see what happens next!  .')


**Thank you** 21c Museum Hotel in Downtown Louisville for allowing us to have fun at Proof and all around the Museum!  You made this photoshoot fun and stress free for us! :)

ROBBIE & MORGAN : THE RECEPTION - KENTUCKY CENTER

T

he reception was held in the lobby of the Kentucky Center for the Arts, the setting could not have been more perfect. A beautiful display of suspended sculptures featuring retired opera costumes created an ideal backdrop.

This group was not afraid of a little celebrating :) ... I wonder if anybody saw me dancing a little while I was taking pictures..I hope not. hee

After being in high heels and dress shoes all day the two slipped into something far more comfortable so they could really celebrate!!


Congrat's again you two  :)

ROBBIE & MORGAN :

 It was the first wedding ceremony ever at the the Bomhard Theatre at the Kentucky Center for the Arts and it was Robbie and Morgan’s to have..

She said she knew from the first time she saw him play guitar that she loved him.

He admits that the first time he saw her, he never thought he'd have a chance.

I love the way he is making sure his hair is in place  for her :)

The attendees all seemed so happy for them...I think they all knew this was the real deal!



HA HA!!  I thought this was pretty cute .')

The theme was Phantom of the Opra represents thier love for the arts. 

They couldn't use real candles in the Theatre so they opted for sand..it was pretty cool!

First Kiss

Congratulations Robbie & Morgan!  Thank you for choosing me to capture the memories of this special day.
