Isaac was born just last Friday. He was a few weeks early, but born at a healthy weight of 5 pounds, 15 ounces. He was a dream to work with. He slept soundly through the first half of our session and let me prod and mold him as I wished. If you are thinking of scheduling a newborn session, this is why the first week of life is the best!

We probably could have convinced him to go back to sleep for the second half, but I was enjoying taking photos of his eyes. Plus babies make the funniest faces when they are awake!

Congratulations to new parents Aaron and Shana!

Melissa is my roommate. She’s proof that finding housemates via craigslist CAN work! We’ve been living together since around the beginning of this year. She asked me one day recently if I could take a couple shots of her because she didn’t have any recent headshots, and I happily obliged. These were just quickly taken in our back yard. Gotta love that golden hour light.

Most of my packages come with print credits. The credit is good for any product you can get through your online gallery, or it can be applied to an album. A lot of people use them to buy basic prints to frame. However, I thought it might be a good idea to showcase some of the specialty items you can get.

I figured I would start off with a bang and show a canvas. Yes, canvases are pricey. But they are glorious. I have one hanging in my upstairs hallway (which is otherwise pretty much void of anything) of a photo I took back in February of my boyfriend and myself.

This is a 16×24 inch canvas, which isn’t huge; it’s probably about the minimum size I would recommend. You can see how it compares in size with the door in this photo I took from down on the first floor. (Ideally, I’d like to put a light on the wall right above the canvas, shining down on it. I haven’t gotten that far yet. And don’t mock my terrible paint job!)

The image is printed on canvas material and then wrapped around a wooden frame, so the very edges of it can’t be seen from a direct front view. Keep this in mind when choosing which photos to order for a canvas.

And, of course, the wonderful thing about canvas is the great texture!

PS: If you’re a past client who has ordered any products, I’d love to see how you are displaying them! Please send photos!

My 18-year-old cousin Cara passed away this morning. She battled with leukemia for most of her teenage years and was one of the strongest people I know. She will be very missed. Please keep her family in your thoughts.

Anna and Mike chose the perfect day for their wedding! After nearly an entire month of 90+ degree weather, they were blessed with a warm-but-not-hot and breezy day. They were married at the First Baptist Church in Paducah, Kentucky, with the reception held afterward at Anna’s family’s farm. It was such a gorgeous wedding! Thanks to Hannah Elaine for allowing me to shoot with her again.
