Britt | Shelby County High School Senior Portraits

A sweet drive in the country is pretty much my favorite thing – ever.  And make that drive right before golden hour, but right after dinner at my parents (my cooking skills don’t get exercised much).  And then top that all off with a session at your home, in the country and I’m in.  Britt’s session started at her family’s home, down the skinniest road I may have ever driven. Golden light, tall trees and the neighbor’s barn with surprise horses inside.

After we worked the light a bit and figured out that Britt’s personality isn’t quite nature girl, we headed into town where we hopped all around.  Her involvement in theater arts is super important, so we shot at the Shelby County Community Theater a bit with a giant scrapbook her mom made of old playbills, tapes and theater paraphernalia.  Britt participates in the Walden theater, and since her mom is banking on selling her old playbills when she becomes super famous, I will keep these beautiful images stored safely, just in case Broadway needs a high school picture.  Just saying my friends, Ms. Britt looks super beautiful in these images.  And that last image.  It’s not perfect, but it just feels so right.  So summer.  And free.  Enjoy!

Stacey | Shelby County High School Senior

Stacey was a joy to work with.  We share the same vintage loves and affection for florals.  And look, in that first picture (that I love *oh* so much) you can see the studio in the background.  After shooting around downtown Shelbyville for a bit, we took our senior photography session to the graveyard.  Yep, you heard it here:  we made most of these great pictures in a cemetery.  But you don’t see any headstones, do ya?  We had mason jars full of buttons, an old quilt, some flowers and loads of sunlight to complete the perfect session; even cooler weather came along for the occasion.  Enjoy Stacey’s gorgeous eyeballs and sweet disposition.  I know you can’t tell how hard-working and smart she is from these images alone, but trust me, she’s much more than a pretty face and a kind heart.  Enjoy!

Penny - What beautiful eyes!

Tori - Gorgeous!!

Jennifer | Louisville Senior Photography

Just a little slow on blogging, but getting all caught up!  I met with Jen and her mother at The Galt House just a couple of weeks ago, where we wandered all around the bit of waterfront there.  Jen’s mom won the gift certificate donated to Taste of Derby Dare to Care silent auction this spring and I am so glad, because we had so much fun shooting this session.  Much laughing took place and we had the best, breezy and cool weather just before a storm moved in.  Thanks again ladies for such a fun time.  Hope you enjoy these pictures of beautiful Jennifer!

Sweet 16 Miss Abby

Today my littlest sister, Abby, turns 16.  Yes, you should stop driving today, because she’ll be out, running stop signs, being scared to pass cars on country roads and such.

A few weeks ago we made these pictures in a mini-session to celebrate her birthday and for making birthday party invitations with.  I just LOVE the images so much.  The second set says everything there is to say about her personality.  And the inclusion of Dragon, our horse, is so perfect – she loves that fellah.

Enjoy these – and stop by anytime to see her invites I designed in person.  They’re everything sparkly and pearl, sealed in a purple envelope.  Happy Birthday little lady!  And I love that she had her friends bring Shelby County Humane Society donations to the party in honor of our Papa’s passing this year.  They shared the same birthday and a crazy love for animals.

I still remember you sitting at the kitchen bar with blonde pig tails, eating your cheerios.  You really should have stayed that small, but I’m glad you grew into a gorgeous little lady!  Happy Birthday Abra-ca-da-bra!!

****For those of you seeing this twice, I DO know when my sister’s birthday is – today, the 31st!  I DON’T, however, always successfully schedule my blog posts – so today, little Abby, is your birthday + yes, I know…Happy Birthday twice!!!

taryn - LOVE LOVE LOVE me some cutie pie Abby! sooooo beautiful.

Tori - Abby and I share the same birthday as well! Happy sweet 16 to her :)

Elizabeth | Martha Layne Collins High School Photographer

I’m a wee bit jealous of Elizabeth’s pictures.  Why, do you ask, would I be jealous of her pictures, that I took?  Well….confession…blue eyes are my favorite thing on all of the Earth.  My littlest sister got them, lots of people have them really, but I have always wanted them to go with my dark hair.  And not that hazel/brown is bad, I just always love blue eyes and dark hair, thus my jealousy of Elizabeth’s senior pictures.

She’s soo stunner in so many of them.  And much of this I attribute to her kind spunk, her comfortable way of being, those adorable freckles and of course, the blue eyes and the auburn hair.  I hope these images speak volumes to her sweetness and that you can see her genius in some of them.  She spent the past summer at Murray for GSP and next fall she’ll be heading to college to enter the medical field, like her parents.  Super exciting, if you ask me, and much to be proud of.  Hope you love these!  Enjoy!

Lisa Hango - Elizabeth — your portraits are lovely! The settings remind me so much of Christopher’s. I particularly like the ones with foliage as a background.
Good luck choosing — it will be difficult, for sure.
Lisa

Allie - Beautiful Elizabeth! I, too, am jealous of her blue eyes!
