One of the many perks of being a photographer in Louisville are all of the beautiful park locations! After talking with the Harmon's about what they love to do together as a family and which locations were special to them, Beckley Creek Park became the perfect choice. As a family that loves to camp, being outdoors and basically getting to play and goof off together in front of the camera made everyone feel right at home.

I had such a fun time with this sweet family from my church during their session. Their excitement about having family pictures taken definitely fueled me! It's awesome when your client is as excited as you are, and even better when they become friends (a common theme around here!). I met Michelle when we were in a Seminary Wives Institute class together at Southern Seminary. We met when I pointed out her beautiful handwriting (like Etsy calligraphy-worthy) when we sat by each other before class - and here we are!

I like to take Mom and Dad aside during a family session so they can have a little cuddle time in front of the camera!

When we got to our cars to drive to another location within the park, this little cutie latched on to my leg and gave me the biggest hug. My heart instantly melted. These kiddos made the shoot extra fun.

Certain images come to mind when I think back to different seasons of life. Photographs are able to jog my memory and help fill in the gaps I'd be sure to miss if I didn't have tangible evidence of those moments. That's where Artifact Uprising came in, with their offer of a free set of square prints. I was thrilled when I saw the promotion while I was scrolling on Facebook. I'm very happy with the quality, and love the finish of the paper.

The picture of Paris from the views of Montmarte: Derrik and I were dating at the time. I went to Europe for some adventures with my college roommate and remember trying to figure out different apps that would help us communicate while I was away. Did I take a screenshot while I Skype called him from Lake Como? Maybe. Hey, I missed him :)
The table full of Christmas greenery and plaid ribbon is from our wedding reception. I'm a big plaid fan, and I love how I'm reminded of our wedding whenever I see it.
The picture with our feet with some legit fall leaves beneath us was taken at Cherokee Park in Louisville. We had just moved here a few weeks earlier and were taking in all the beautiful fall scenery!
The black & white photo is from our recent photoshoot together (which I'll be sharing soon!), representing almost 2 years of marriage.

We've come so far, all represented in 4 squares. I love how the prints bring me back to what it felt like in each season.
