Sharon and John | the Wedding!

Sharon and John were married at the gorgeous Olmsted, which is a perfect place to have both a ceremony and reception. The building is beautiful, the grounds are just as pretty, and the food is amazing! And to top it all off, the couple had their adorable Jack Russel, Conor, there to celebrate with them! Here are a few of my favorites from the day... Enjoy!

And congratulations to the Newlyweds!!

Jessica | Senior Portraits

I had a blast shooting Jessica's senior portraits. She's such a fun girl, and was great in front of the camera! I love when my clients love having me photograph them... it just makes everything more fun! (not to mention it goes a lot smoother!) We started out at Mellwood Art Center to get a few graffiti shots, then headed to the old part of Main Street in Downtown Louisville to continue with the same urban atmosphere. We also shot a portion of her photos at her barn with her horse, which I loved! And since horses are such a big part of her life, it only made sense to include them. Ripa, her horse, is adorable... but practically refuses to keep her ears forward for a photo! We caught it a few times though :)

Here are a few of my favorites... Enjoy!

The Couture Closet

As some of you know, I've had a mini-studio space at the Couture Closet in LaGrange, KY, for the past few months. Lauren and Tera are amazing girls to be around, and are running a fabulous business! If you haven't been in to check out their incredible bridal gowns yet, please do! They even just started carrying a private collection, meaning you can't find those dresses anywhere else. So, if you're searching for the perfect (and unique) dress, it's worth the trip!

Anyway, I recently did some photography for their website, and wanted to share a few of my favorite shots from the session. We had a couple of gorgeous girls offer their time to model a few dresses for us. Let me know what you think!

Dolphins!!

Wow, it's been way too long since I posted anything! Life is crazy busy! I've been working almost nonstop, except for our recent week at the beach! We go to Gulf Shores, Alabama, every other summer for our family reunion, and I'm 100% convinced that we have the BEST family reunion ever :) Anyway, this year, my mom, dad, sister and I all went on a dolphin cruise, which was incredible! I expected to be out on the boat for a while and just watch the dolphins swim around, but no... it was so much better! We had two boats go out in different directions from the marina, and when our boat found some dolphins, the other boat came to where we were. They positioned the two boats on either side of the dolphins, and then took off, creating a huge wake in between us. A group of three dolphins played in the wake forever! Once they get in it, it pulls them along, so they do not have to exert any energy to keep up. So... they just jump and roll and dive and have a blast! Oh, and if you can see the pink on their stomachs... that's like blushing when they get excited. Who knew?
