Hannah ~ Senior Portrait Session

August 5, 2024 0 Photography

My seniors this year have been making my job so easy. Every time I photograph a senior I’m amazed by how much easier it is than a family session 😂. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good family session but they can be exhausting. There’s something super chill and fun about spending an hour photographing and getting to know one person.

You literally can not beat the sunset glow on our farm I mean look at those greens and golds. Every time I finish editing a summer gallery I remember why I love the summer so much. The greens, the flowers, the blue skys, the golden sunsets…Kentucky summers are the best! Here’s to soaking up the last few sunsets of the summer, it is flying by!

Thanks for tagging along!

Mama + Me~ Lifestyle Session

June 6, 2024 0 Photography, Uncategorized

A few weeks ago I got to do a really fun Mama + Me session.  We photographers call these lifestyle sessions. For those of you who don’t know what this means, a lifestyle session is a laid back photography experience, where I come in and take photos of you and your family doing a fun activity. There’s a lot less posing and a lot less “look here and smile”. I focus more on capturing genuine emotions and interactions that happen naturally. None of that making goofy noises from behind my camera because for the most part I want your family to be totally absorbed in the moment. 

If you have really little kids choosing a lifestyle session over a typical session is a great option. Choosing an activity that you love to do as a family is such a fun way to make a memory and to keep your littles happy. Not only will your kids “tolerate” this, it’s actually something that your kids will get really excited about! This option helps to keep the kids entertained, focused, smiling, happy and it provides a great way for me to capture the genuine interactions of your family. 

When it comes to doing a lifestyle session there’s so many options of fun things to do! Have a campfire and smores together, get giant ice cream cones  and eat them together, have a water balloon fight, eat watermelon, bake cookies together, or explore a park. There are really endless options and what makes it so special is that YOU choose what would be fun for your family! 

If your family is not a “smile at the camera and give each other big hugs”  kinda family, or if your kids are just too stir crazy for a typical photo session I really recommend talking to me about a lifestyle session. It’s a perfect way to capture YOUR family personality on camera and to have photos to hang on the wall forever!
