Kentucky wedding & family photography with a guided candid approach to invoke feelings of nostalgia for years to come

Whether you’re eloping out in Red River Gorge, having family photos taken in your backyard or throwing a reception with your chosen loved ones — I want to intentionally & truthfully capture these good ol’ days, so you can have them to look back on as the years go on and the photos get more precious with time.

Weddings, Elopements, & Engagements

I love capturing weddings of all sizes: from the big wedding that celebrations the blending of two families and cultures, to the intimate backyard weddings or elopement wedding out in Red River Gorge. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have been lucky to capture over 150 weddings since then. I don’t get bored because every couple and every story is so unique! The clients I resonate with the most are the ones who are interested in having those unposed moments and capturing everything candidly as it naturally unfolds.


 

Family Photography

My family sessions are often an extension of our first experience together and can be a great way to continue to document those moments as life continues to grow or shift. I encourage families to do an activity or be curious about their environment (easy to do with kids!) so that it allows me to capture your family in a laid-back way. I adore photographing families and offer bundled maternity & newborn sessions here in Kentucky as well as yearly family sessions.

Boudoir Photography

Boudoir photos are all about helping you feel confident! I take boudoir photos for YOU - for you to enjoy, to appreciate, to see how truly beautiful your body is. I will walk you through every step and help you feel comfortable.

For my boudoir shoot, Kendra made me feel so comfortable and feeling sexy within the first 10 minutes of the shoot. I loved every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Film & Polaroid

I adore the nostalgic look of 35mm film as well as being able to hold a polaroid of a moment in your hands. I include polaroid and film as an add-on option for every wedding or session, make sure to check the box in the contact form if you’re into film, too!

Red River Gorge Photography

One of my most treasured things to do is to hike trails in Red River Gorge. Or just go for long drives down Nada Tunnel Road, stopping for pizza at Miguel’s on the way. Over the years I have collected spots for beautiful photos. And I’m always down for exploring new spots, too! If you’re interested in celebrating your wedding or having your pictures taken at the Gorge no matter the occasion, I’m down to capture the ride.

A little about why I do what I do …

I've always loved creating and telling stories through photos, it started as a kid when I used to steal the family camera to take photos of my siblings and I’ve been captivated by freezing moments into photos since then.

I have known for myself, that life can get hard and things can change fast. At my core, I believe that all of the hard moments are worth living for the good moments you get. But sometimes it’s hard to remember that. With good photos, it’s a lot easier to remember and look back on the best memories life holds.

And that is part of why I take my job so seriously… at the end of the day I’m your advocate and someone who wants you to relive those moments that give you that sense of meaning and sense of purpose.

In the photography industry, I so often see the photos dictate the moment, not the other way around. Instead, I guide and encourage my clients be in the moment so I can capture genuine photos.
