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 […]

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 […]

At first glance, it’s easy to see that Sara and Moses make the perfect couple. What comes at the second glance, the one you have to gave a couple of extra seconds to see, is that they are both simply amazing people. Their kindness and open hearts made doing this session one of my biggest […]
