Baby R | Newborn & Baby Photographer :: Central KY|

Introducing my precious nephew, baby R, at 8 days old!!!

Welcome to the world, and welcome to the family!  I love you already

Baby S |Newborn & Baby Photographer :: Lexington KY|

Baby “S” is probably the easiest newborn I have photographed to date.  She was calm and content even when she was awake.  She showed off her gorgeous eyes, and cute dimples, then slept the rest of the time.

I know mom, and grandma, are eager to see these, so I’ll keep it short, and let you enjoy this little bundle of sweetness!
K – it was a pleasure meeting you, your mom and your precious princess

Trio |Lexington urban family photographer |

These three were a hoot!  I had such a great time with them and they were willing to go with whatever crazy ideas I had…even some that might threaten their facebook coolness.

M, C & J – Thanks guys for being a great bunch!  Hope you had as much fun as I did.  I promise to bring at least two cups of frappuccinos with me next time

brothers |Lexington KY family photographer|

I had a great time photographing family ‘C’ this weekend.  They were troopers as we dodged raindrops throughout the session.  We met at a fishing club – what a great idea, and gorgeous location!!!  I could have learned a lot from them.  I think I’ve fished once or twice over 10 years ago, but the boys kept their fishing secrets from me  Within minutes from arriving, 5 year old “J” caught a fish…and as soon as he let it go, his older brother, “C” caught one too – I could barely keep up!  To say these boys are handsome is understatement!  Note to self – bring a step stool next time – so I can be eye to eye with 9 year old “M” (I have no chance with 12 year old “C” – I’ll need a ladder).

“C” family – thanks for inviting me to your mini fishing trip, and dealing with the rain!  Here’s a little preview…

Sisters |Lexington KY family photographer|

What a fun bunch!  I had a great afternoon with the “G” family this past weekend.  We had met when baby ‘A’ was still in her mommy’s belly, and when she was a newborn.  Now she’s 9 months old, and is already trying to crawl and stand.  She’s got to catch up to her older sisters  2 year old  sis, also ‘A’, was all about including her baby sister, and looking for ants on the ground!  She is so cute with her “hiss” to let us know she found some.  The leader of the pack, almost 5 year old ‘T’, is just as lively and inquisitive as ever.  She’s very excited about starting K this fall, and I am sure she’ll have plenty of stories to share with me next time!  I totally enjoyed being with them!

T & A (and Mamaw) – thanks!!!  I hope you enjoy this little peek

milestones |Lexington KY family/graduation photographer|

I’ve attended numerous commencements in my many years at UK & after. They are always special. They are symbols of years of hard work, commitment, friendships, fun, growth, and new beginnings. I love my alma mater, and I loved capturing this special time for this sweet, gorgeous and loving family.  Congratulations!!!

waiting on #2 |Louisville KY child and maternity photographer|

If you had a nephew this cute, wouldn’t you want another one?  Happy “early” first birthday, to my favorite derby baby

My wish is granted…I just have to wait T H R E E more weeks. sigh.

what to wear? Some spring/summer ideas |Lexington KY family photography|

I always advice my clients to keep clothing simple, and play with accessories (depending on their age, of course).  I love the layered look, vibrant colors, but most importantly, the clothes should be comfortable and in your style.

So for inspiration here are some samples of what you can put together for your family/kids/maternity sessions – notice that they are not matchy-matchy, but work great together:
