Family Session {Paducah Family Photographer}

This sweet family has been in front of my camera on several different occasions and everytime we come away with some AWESOME images because they are just that great! Afternoons like this are confirmation that I love what I get to do even acting silly and getting eaten alive by mosquitoes!

On this particular day we were primarily working towards getting portraits of different family groups. This sweet momma had a picture in her mind and even set up the area in her yard for us! It doesn't get any better than that. It was fun to get to create the image she has been dreaming of for years.....and I love it! There is a perfect element of posed and relaxed smiles in the next two and maybe it's just because I know them but their personalities just jump off the screen!


Next up we had the challenge of catching these brothers all smiling. I wish I could show you all the outtakes......It's funny how many different faces we got from them....and yet you just need a few perfect ones!

When I saw this next one on the back of my camera....I caught my breath. This will be a priceless image for years to come! You will often hear me say that you don't have to have everyone looking at the camera to have a good image, because that's not always real life, BUT when you do get something like this...it sure is sweet!


I can't wait to finish your gallery up for you! Soon...very soon!

BEAUTIFUL Senior {Reidland High School}

I've been missing for almost a month...and I can't believe it! My calendar indicates that this blog will be hoppin' in the weeks to come if I can keep up with everything on my plate!

Since my blog has been feeling neglected, I thought we needed a supersized post of a beautiful senior girl! This just happens to be a friend of ours and I couldn't wait to focus my camera on her. We met up on Monday evening to gorgeous light and a breezy evening. What could be better?

She had made fabulous clothes choices and I enjoyed traipsing all over town with her. Isn't she beautiful?


The next two are similar but STUNNING to me...I had to post both!




She was up for anything and this turned out to be a favorite!


A dress and location change = more beautiful images.




She has cheered for MANY years so we had to get a few in her uniform!


Some more of my favorites from the night....I am not good at picking one favorite so here are two more that caught my breath as I scrolled through to find a few for the blog.



It's so fun to capture someone I know already because I really get the chance to bring out their personality. This caring, sweet girl has so much going for her. I can't wait to see what she decides to do next!

Thanks again for trusting me with your senior photography!

Vintage and the Vineyard

I'm waiting on a few friends to arrive for lunch and catching up but I can't resist posting one image from my session this morning. This family has been precious to us for several years. We photographed their maternity session in March and the newborn session in May. Here we are at 3 months and I just love their home and land. Stephen has a vineyard on their property and the grapes are just gorgeous right now. We just HAD to go out and photograph this beauty in the vineyards that are just brimming with grapes. The outfit that she had worked so well with it and to me it has a vintage feel to it. I wish I could find a shirt my size in the fabric because I can't stop thinking about how perfect it was. If you ever need some local wine make sure to call them up.

Isn't this the sweetest thing ever????

A Few Favs

I've been working on this session and wanted to share a few more of my favorites. Despite a hot evening we are able to capture great images. Don't let the heat keep you from scheduling a session if you are thinking about needing to update your family portraits!


There is just something about this image that keeps me coming back. His eyes aren't open but that's part of the intrigue for me. He looks so happy and at peace and it makes me smile EVERYTIME I see it!


Love me a momma + son picture. Especially when we capture the relationship like the image below. I can just see the love oozing from these two. Makes my heart happy. :)

Melt my heart {Paducah Children Photography}

*****MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL DOWN TO READ THE OTHER TWO POSTS THAT WERE POSTED TONIGHT AS WELL! ******


This 3 year old little man MELTED my heart from the first snaps of my camera. A little shy at first but still willing to follow directions so well and just chat up a storm with me! We told stories, sang songs, and he even had to whisper he loved me. That's all it took...I was smitten with how precious he was!

His great attitude shows in his images too....I LOVE his little expressions!


This has GOT TO BE one of his looks! Is it mom? Am I right?


This was his serious face! Love it!


This became his favorite pose! We did it several times!


What a fun, HUMID, night!

Senior + Family {Lone Oak High School Senior Photography|

I can't believe it has been a week ago already that we met this great family on a Friday evening to capture some senior images and also a few sibling pictures. These guys got warmed up (literally and figuratively...it was HUMID) and we had a good time capturing some great family images for the mantle as well as documenting Braden's senior year.

The first part of the session was dedicated to the "kids" in the family!




Don't they all look awesome? They made our job so easy!

We grabbed a few of each sibling before we headed out to finish Braden's senior session....

She is stunning isn't she? Her dad and brothers better get ready...cause the boys will be calling!

And now for a few of Braden's senior session....

Love the guitar!



Can't forget his soccer attire....


And one of my favorites....


Thanks again for trusting me with your senior session! It was a pleasure!

I'll be in touch soon!

Sweet Girls

First let me say I am SOOO behind on blog posting! Summer is always one of our busiest time of the year and this year is no exception! We have been going nonstop since since early May.

This family has had to wait WAY to long to see their posts and I hate that! But it is definitely worth the wait!....

Isn't this precious?


Big sister has amazing blue eyes and is such a joy to photograph. This was her second time in front of my camera and the few minutes we spent together were well worth it!

Our main goal for the session was to document her new little sister. This momma decided to do the 4, 8, and 12 month session and so we were out to capture this little beauty at 4 months.


She was all smiles and made our job so easy!



I'll have your gallery ready soon!
