Austin fell hard for Bethany the moment he saw her.  “I seriously did!” he told me.  And when Austin says something in that very earnest way he has of saying things, you believe it. I mean, we can see why. Bethany is beautiful inside and out and those eyes of hers can see right into […]

I’ve known Hailey’s family since I was a kid tagging along quite often when her grandpa was preaching revivals all over the place. And now, what a blessing it is for me to see that love and hard work come full circle with the next generation of Shirleys. Time is a thief, and we know […]

We literally didn’t decide for certain that we could do this session until just a couple of hours before it began.  Such is the life of a Kentuckian in the spring, or in any season really.  There’s a saying, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a bit, and it will change.”  And change […]

Do you have access to a private location that few others could ever use?  If so, it’s a perfect spot to do pictures.  And oh my, Angeleah and Steven had a gem for sure!! Angeleah first mentioned this location in February and I was all in!  Fields, barns, depth and golden hour are a photographer’s […]

Over a year ago, Will’s nephew told his pretty teacher, Miss Mathis, that she really should consider dating his uncle.  As a former teacher myself, I know how young students can have some amazing but pretty far-fetched ideas sometimes.  And Rachel has figured that out too.  She was flattered, but dismissed his idea. But he […]

OH MY!!  This beautiful couple was SUCH fun to photograph last weekend!! It was not because it was warm or balmy.  AND it was not because the wind cooperated either.  It WAS because Hanna and Jordan were up for anything and because they love each other beyond words. Can we get a high five for […]

Last week I had the incredible privilege of photographing Kelly and Hunter’s engagement session. If you know me, you aren’t surprised that I jumped headfirst into the idea of doing this shoot at their favorite escape, Dale Hollow Lake.  The locations they chose were places that they love the most.  As Kelly said, “It feels […]

Oh my heart is happy!! Spring engagement sessions fire me up, and the Summer/Morgan combo was just the recipe!! Summer and Morgan are the sweetest couple, and they were up for anything I suggested.  This was my first session at Hobson Grove, so we explored and found perfect spots together.  The trees are just beginning […]

It’s spring in Scottsville, and we found the blooms to prove it….. some laughter and love too. Haley and Connor came with her family last fall, before they were engaged, and I knew then that they were the sweetest couple. So I wasn’t surprised when this beautiful couple soon made an engagement “Facebook official.”   What […]

It’s about to happen. Andrew is going to marry the girl who stole his heart and won’t give it back. They met at an engineer camp at UK. And how about the possibility that out of all the participants at the camp, these two ended up in the same group. They built a cardboard boat […]
