Feature: Kentucky Bride Magazine

I’ve never really been a very goal-oriented person, despite as much as I’ve tried! It’s such a stretch for me. So when it comes to features, I just make it a part of my workflow to submit engagements and weddings pretty regularly. But it’s always been a dream to be published in a magazine. Last […]

Elliott & Stephanie: Big Rock Park at Seneca Engagements

Earlier this year, I was able to explore a small part of Louisville with a friend from church as we visited Big Rock Park as part of the larger Seneca Park. I loved my time there taking in the natural beauty of Beargrass Creek and I thought to myself, I would love to photograph a […]

Muhammad Ali Center Wedding

Muhammad Ali Center Wedding Back in April, I had the opportunity to second shoot for Samantha Bartlett Photography. Since coming to the area, it has been a joy to get to know photographers here.

Andrew & Kate: Frankfurt Ave and Cherokee Park Engagements

Each couple that I’m meeting in Louisville makes me enjoy this city more and more! This year I’ve photographed couples at an antique store, in a cow pasture, playing ukuleles, and exploring a distillery. This session adds two more fun locations to my list: a book store and ice cream shop! Andrew & Kate met […]

Josh & Amanda: Waterfront Park Louisville KY Anniversary

As a married woman, I love meeting and watching other marrieds interact. Josh and Amanda are no exception! Amanda is so fun and goofy (she’d take that as a compliment, I promise 🙂 ) and Josh is more reserved. And together, they have a joyful, laughter-filled relationship that I enjoyed getting a glimpse of. This […]

Trey & Corinn: Montgomery Farms Indiana Wedding

When I think of a July wedding in southern Indiana, I think of heat and sweat. But July 29th was not a day like that. It was a mild mid 80’s with low humidity and a nice breeze. It was literally the perfect day without a cloud in the sky. Combine that with the gorgeous […]

Zach & Laura: Canterbury School Greensboro NC Wedding

There is so much I want to type about this wedding, but it’s so hard to type when I’m not supposed to use my bummed finger (more about that tomorrow!). But this wedding was so special and near and dear to my heart. I had the honor of photographing Greg & Sarah Beth’s wedding back […]

Chris & Kristen: Boathouse at Sunday Park Wedding

I get to meet a lot of new, wonderful people as a wedding photographer, but I also get to reconnect with old friends. This wedding was one of those and it made my heart so, so happy. I met Kristen through my friend Katlyn in college. We would meet for coffee and Chick-fil-a dates and […]

Behind the Lens: Being Authentic Online

The past few weeks I’ve seen post after post about being authentic online. I suppose it’s more of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon and not an actual increase in posts about authenticity, but I felt compelled to share my heart on this new subject. I guess for me there are two types of authenticity: being real about my […]

Jon & Amanda: Mount St. Francis Engagement Session

One of the unique qualities of Louisville is that it’s right on the border of Indiana. And it’s not just any state border, Southern Indiana is beautiful. For what this part of Kentucky lacks in hills and mountains, Southern Indiana makes up for it! As soon as you cross the Ohio River, there are rolling […]

Southern Seminary Wedding Louisville KY

Justin & Sonya: Southern Seminary Wedding Louisville, KY A tale as old as time. Boy meets girl and falls head over heels. He knows she’s the one so over time he writes her letters. But Justin did something unique with his letters. Each contained a physical single letter written in invisible ink spelling out “Dear […]

Art of Photography: Why Different Lenses Matter

When it comes to photography, there are so many factors that make up an image. Generally, we see how things like the subject, background, editing, camera (phone vs. dslr), and maybe even light change pictures. But there is SO much more that goes what makes a photo look the way it does. One of those […]
