I have always wanted to have a session take place at a green house and my sweet friend, Ashley, welcomed us onto her property. Her greenhouse was full of beautiful and colorful flowers that created the most dreamy backdrop for our session. I was in awe with how these turned out.
OH the Slones Family, how much I adore them. In 2017 after I got my first “Big Girl Camera” and my photography kind of took off (Thank you Jesus), I did a Model Call for a family and I chose the Slone Family. We met in the middle - They lived in Lexington, KY and I’m from Somerset, KY. Our session went so well that
I have had the honor of documenting the Robert Family for about 5 years now. Watching these girls grow into intelligent, kind, and gorgeous is such a blessing. The Robert’s always show up, ready to showcase their love for one another. I always leave their sessions feeling joyful and ready to edit!!! Here are some of my favorites from their session from last month. Thank you, Robert Family. You are loved!

I first met Courtney in - I think it was 2019 (correct me if I’m wrong Court.) when she wanted a sweet session with her (now) oldest son Novah She made my dreams come true with an intimate motherhood session which is where we focus on connection, skin to skin, & the rawness of motherhood.

Don’t give up hope. Times get hard sometimes and you may feel like you’re drowning. Finding a support system (whether that be your family or friends) can help tremendously. With my tribe there is nothing Me and Ella couldn’t accomplish.
Listen – We’re not just “taking photos”, look at it as we are building a time capsule. We’re immortalizing a moment in time that you can revisit again and again for the rest of your life and your children’s lives, and your grandchildren’s lives (and so on and so on).

I am so excited to share this gallery with all of you. As soon as the Bell Family stepped out of their vehicle I was impressed with their color scheme and outfits. The tones were absolutely perfect and not to mention just how cute this little family is together. I feel unbelievably blessed to have met them and was chosen to capture their newest family photos.
When Melissa reached out to me through Instagram, I had no idea that her whole family was from Texas. For her Parent’s 30th wedding anniversary, the whole family rented a gorgeous air bnb in Lebanon, Kentucky to spend the week together celebrating.I woke up at 5:30am and drove an hour and 40 minutes to spend the morning with them
