There are sessions that stay with you long after you pack up your camera—and this was definitely one of them. I recently spent a golden evening with my dear friend Calli Burke and three of her six children, to celebrate her sweet baby, Ephraim, turning one years old. It was such an honor to be there for this milestone and help document all the love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Every time I get behind the camera, I’m reminded of how much I love what I do. Photographing families and couples isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about preserving connection, laughter, and the fleeting moments that make life beautiful. These mini sessions were no exception. With sunshine pouring down, kids giggling between poses, and couples sneaking sweet glances at each other, the whole day felt like something straight out of a storybook (fitting, right?).
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
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!
Have you ever asked yourself why you take a photo? Was it an impulse or a pre-conceived idea? Have you felt excited or forced to be a part of the picture? Were you behind or in front of the camera?
What do you feel when you look at the photos?
NOSTALGIA. JOY. SURPRISE. EXCITMENT.
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. It meant the world to me that she felt comfortable with me to capture such precious moments & I looked up to her ways of mothering. She is incredible you guys!
I wanted to talk a little bit about the term "Lifestyle" since it is one that is quite often thrown around in our industry and it is what people of use to describe my work.
The words we use to describe our work matter very little in my mind. What matters is how I work makes those who view it feel.
Some sessions feel like magic from the very first click—and this was definitely one of them. I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Nevels family, and everything about this evening felt like a dream. From the way the golden light wrapped around them in the open field, to the peaceful woodland backdrop that gave their session a cozy, storybook feel—it was a photographer’s dream come true.
