Jennifer & Jerry
This is my first time writing from the new blog site, so be patient with me as I try to get all the settings lined up! I got home around 11pm last night, so I haven’t had a chance to do too much, but I could not wait any longer to show you what an amazing couple I worked with yesterday!
I met up with Jennifer and her sister, Selena, and Bella Me Salon. This gorgeous space downtown on the square had amazing light which really helped us to play a bit! I am absolutely in love with this sofa:
Here are a few other fun shots from around the salon!
I headed home to grab the rest of my gear, then over to the wedding spot! I ran into Jennifer’s dad on the way there putting up these great signs to help guests find their way!
Once I arrived on location, I could tell there would be tears today!
Now for the makeup…
And before we knew it, it was time for the dress…
It’s almost time!!!
After getting dressed, we decided to head out to the beautiful gazebo for some outside shots before the guys arrived. Jennifer had this cute photo idea to do with her grandmother. So sweet!
Jerry’s parents quickly arrived, and I was able to grab a quick shot of Jerry’s mom helping our cute ring bearer get dressed!
Once the guys arrived, I knew the party was on. This super fun group decided an air band photo would be the way to go… (Don’t worry, Jennifer – we made them do some regular shots, too!)
We also got some sweet moments with Jerry and the bridesmaids…
Jennifer’s step-father, Ronnie, made sure Jerry knew to treat Jennifer right!
Once everyone was dressed, I caught the bride and groom talking to one another through a door. I had to sneak in for a photo. This sweet moment pulled at the heart strings a little! No matter how many weddings we attend and even work, I love being a part of moments like these!
We had a few scary moments with brief rain, but when it was time to get married the sun came out shining beautifully! Jennifer and I decided to go out on the deck in this gorgeous sunlight!!
It was almost time, so I headed downstairs to set up for the ceremony. I caught Jennifer peeking out at the crowd!
This is the AMAZING space where these two were married…
The sand ceremony…
A gorgeous bridal party at sunset…
Check out these rings!!
So one of the coolest features of the wedding and bridesmaid dresses were POCKETS!! So we had to feature a photo with the gals in their pockets. I believe that’s where they hid the hankies!
And of course some of the lovebirds…
The bridesmaids all lined their flowers up on the head table. I thought the bright colors were perfect.
Despite hating his picture taken, Jerry was a good sport when I took them out to a nearby barn!
Photos with friends… note Jerry is strategically somewhere else. Don’t worry – he could run, but he didn’t hide! I’ve got lots more when he thought I wasn’t looking.
The cake!!
Soul train time!
Getting the garter ready!
All the single ladies…
There’s so much more that I could share! This was such a fun group to work with, and I can’t wait to get everything else ready for them. I hope you’ve all enjoyed!

Becky & Amy
This shoot was near and dear to me as I have known this mother-daughter pair for over a decade! Amy and I met on the first day of 7th grade and quickly became best friends! Even now and living in different parts of the state, we talk several times a week. We spent so much time at one another's homes that Becky was like a second mom to me!
I was shooting Baby Ainsley up in Elizabethtown the weekend of Mother's Day. Amy and her mom live in the Louisville area, so E-town is about half way between us. Amy asked if I would mind to take some photos of her and her mom. As most of you probably know, I almost never do portraits for my close friends. It makes me nervous!! But this was pretty laid back, and I got to capture this great mother-daughter duo.
At this point I'm sure Amy was telling some amazing story...
I decided to kick Amy out for a few minutes and just concentrate on the lady who was Pretty in Pink!
Now Amy's turn...
I'm sure I said something amazingly funny right here.
Amy and her mom shared a story about a photo of her as a child sniffing a flower. They knew that Amy's Grandpa would love a grown up version, so we took a few!
Of course I had to get in my signature feet shot...
Before we knew it the sun was setting and it was time to head out! I won't embarrass Amy with how she locked the keys in the car and we had to wait for AAA. Oh wait...

Terri & Junior's Engagement Shoot
We first met Terri & Junior at the beginning of the year at Bridal Fest 2011. We could see a bit of their personalities from the beginning as Terri was busy gathering all of the details and Junior was full of smiles and slightly interested to hear that we do offer HD options for our videography.
Last week we met up to discuss their October wedding. It is amazing the time and attention these two have put into their special day. It is going to be amazing! We had planned to shoot their engagement portraits last Monday, but Mother Nature was not having it! I think it turned out for the best, though, because yesterday we had so much fun!
We started at L.T. Smith Stadium where Terri and Junior wore their favorite team colors. Of course Terri had home advantage on this one as she works at WKU!
I asked them how Junior proposed. He actually went to Terri's office and got down on one knee. He was a great sport when I asked him to get down on one knee again for this photo opportunity!
Here are some of my other favorites from the stadium...
We also wanted some romantic shots, so after a quick wardrobe change we headed to a new location. Check out this beautiful couple!
Just for fun...
And my favorite!!
