I couldn’t wait for this shoot!  Rebecca was one of Justin’s students last year in Maysville, Kentucky and she asked me early on if I would do her pictures…of course I would!  It was great to catch up with her and be back in our Kentucky home.  Maysville is one of the best towns for a photo shoot.  We did this entire shoot in the two blocks surrounding where Justin & I used to live…it was nice to be back!

Here are a few of my favorites from the day…and appartenly I was in a very vertical mood…

she’s a dancer, so you know i took advantage of that!

um…rebecca, you are gorgeous!

Thanks for a great shoot, and have a great time at Graduation!  Wish we could be there!

Perfect light + guy w/ style = one amazing photo shoot.

I knew I had a reason to be excited to shoot Gage’s senior photos.  We had talked early on, but he wasn’t really “into” senior pictures, so it just didn’t happen for a while.  His mom got a hold of me and said I just needed to pick a day, and Gage wouldn’t argue – “we just need to get them done”.  I knew he wasn’t thrilled about getting his photos taken, but since I am not really a fan of it either (having my photo taken)…we clicked.  Actually, we clicked big.  Gage is into photography too (and is really talented), and I think he knew the feel I was going for once we got started.  I approached this shoot just wanting him to have photos that he liked…something that showed his style & something he loved.

I think it worked.  I think it worked out really well.

Thanks Gage for letting me shoot your senior photos…I am more than thrilled with how they turned out!  And heck, maybe they will be helpful sometime in college (Gage is going to school for music in Orlando, Florida!)

love it!

i told you, amazing light!

what?! shouldn’t this be illegal?!

Oh, and if you think I picked to many for the blog…you can’t even imagine how many I ended up with.  You could say there are more than a few ;)

Have a wonderful weekend!  Justin & I are heading to Pittsburg for the weekend with our friends Hayley & Richard!

of things to come!

This weekend has been full of great photo shoots, so I just wanted to share a little sneak peak of what is in store!

I just wanted to share a few more of my favorites from Katy’s session at my house.

I officially decided this year that I *love* shoots in the snow!  So pretty!

The shot on the right is for my Uncle Dana (Katy’s dad)…how cute is she?!  He is a hunter and wanted her to use that as a prop, love it!

Love the vintagy feel on these photos!  Her dress, the snow and the house were a perfect mix for this vintage look!

We have the begingings of a building beside our house and I have been wanting to try and use it in a shoot, I am really happy with how it worked…I hope they don’t build it up too soon…I’d like to use it a bit more ;)

oh, and for any LOST fans…was last night awesome or what?!  it’s so my favorite show!

I have been wanting to do a session at my house since we moved here.  Everyday I would find another ‘spot’ that would be perfect for a shoot…so, of course when my cousin Katy wanted to get a few more shots done, I begged to do them here!  She had gotten her braces off, had a slightly different hair color, and had always wanted to do photos in the snow…and you know I was all over that!  I am finishing up the editing today, but wanted to share a little sneak peak.

I can’t wait to do more session at the house, I didn’t even scratch the surface of all the different locations here!

More coming soon!  Have a terrific Monday!

I am a busy bee editing a session today on this snowy day…and I’m on cloud 9.  Wouldn’t you be if you were looking at love like this…

Just wanted to share a little sneak peak, aren’t they so sweet?!  Justin & I had dinner with this beautiful family the other night and I think Malachi and I have become fast friends!  More on them (and the rest of the family) soon!

Stay warm out there and be safe on those roads!  (that is if you are dealing with the winter weather :)

Leading up to this shoot, I kept hearing the same thing about Kaleb.  We hadn’t really met before, but after spending an hour or so with him at the shoot, I can agree with everything I heard.

Kaleb is a class act.

Smart, polite, respectful, funny (seriously, he is really, really funny).  He’s just an all around great guy and I was honored to photograph his senior photos.

Thanks so much Kaleb!

Loved this day!  Great weather, amazing light, and a good looking senior!  I just love it when everything comes together for a shoot.

Here are a few of my favorite photos.  2 points to Josh for picking an awesome location – because of that shoot I found a spot that might just be my very favorite location yet!  Lucky for me it’s just a few minutes from my house :)

This is my favorite senior image that I’ve shot. ever.

Thanks for a great shoot Josh!

Wow! Really, I can’t even describe how much fun I had on this photo shoot! Ellie is phenomenal – smart, stunning, stylish & sweet – I couldn’t have asked for any more! I was so happy that we could work out a date to do her senior pictures – Ellie is a really busy girl, and actually lives in Mansfield, Ohio (good 2 hours away). She is the granddaughter of our wonderful friends, Beth & Rosco (we house sat for them over the summer), and I was so excited when I found out that she wanted to do her photos at the house since she had so many memories there!
I have gone a bit over board once again…but I can’t help it – I had too many favorites, so you will just have to bear with me on the long post!

You know it’s going to be a good shoot when there are shoes like these are involved! Simply Gorgeous:
Ellie’s boyfriend came down too, and I couldn’t help but get a few photos of them together…how cute are these?! Thank you Ellie, it was a great shoot!

What a great time! I was told before the shoot that Zach wasn’t really into getting his photos done (it was a ‘for mom’ thing), but I don’t believe it. He was great and I loved the images we got (and I am pretty sure he had a good time ;)
Zach’s girlfriend Rachel was also there (which I loved, you wouldn’t believe the smiles she could get out of him! it was great). I grabbed this shot while Zach was changing his shirt…isn’t she gorgeous!Future seniors – if you want to bring your boyfriend/girlfriend along…it’s ok, really, I don’t mind! I love having someone else there to help get great expressions!
