Miley ~Senior Portrait Session

October 4, 2024 0 Photography, Uncategorized

I almost wanted to title this session “110 Reasons to Book as Session at Golden Hour” You can NOT get colors like these at any other time of the day. This was the first session of the year that really felt like fall! Everything was so golden and it was a perfect cool night! Miley came out to our farm…literally one of my favorite spot to photograph (have you noticed?). I was googly eyed over these and have been dying to finish editing so I could post them! I dream of these kinds of colors ! ✨✨✨ ALSO my seniors this year have been KILLING it!

Here’s to an insanely busy fall full of more beautiful session like this one… Cheers 🥂🥂

Thanks for taggin’ along,

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!

Jenna + Rex ~ Kuttawa, Kentucky

At the beginning of this year I bought a vintage boat. Let’s just say I was SUPER excited about it! I’ve dreamed for years of having a cool boat to use for a couples photo session and now I finally had it, but then it was winter and cold and all the trees were dead 😂 (not ideal for a beautiful boat session) I pulled the boat out once in the winter and my nieces and sister almost got blown away in the wind, oops. So I waited and waited for spring and I finally got to do a few session with some sweet kids but I was still waiting for the perfect couple.

Two weeks ago I found the perfect couple and I finally got to do this dreamy session! Looking through the gallery for me feels magical and dreamy like a scene in a movie. Needless to say, I can’t wait to pull the boat out again for a session. Kuttawa Ky, was the perfect little lakeside town to do this dreamy session in, I can’t wait to go back!

As always, thanks for tagging along!

Hadlee ~ Senior Portrait Session

January 2, 2024 0 Photography

Hadlee sent me her Pintrest inspo board and I knew our farm would be a perfect fit for what she was looking for! Hadlee and I had met a few times before but we had such a fun time during her hour long session. She said after our session, “it was exactly what I wanted it to be!” And that’s always my favorite thing to hear!

Ellie, Laken and Pistol

August 12, 2023 0 Photography

Our pear trees were in full bloom and our back field was still golden from the winter. Laken texted me and asked if she could bring her horse for some photos with her daughter before the blooms fell off the trees and I am SO glad she did. The beautiful bloom and the jet black horse were perfection.

I love how we went from a princess session or a cowgirl session with just an outfit change. Ellie loves horses just like her momma and it was impressive how well she controlled that giant horse.

All in all in was a perfect evening. The best kind of spring weather, the best kind of blooms, the best kind of glow and the best models.

Anna~ Senior Session

July 19, 2023 0 Photography

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on here…as is typical with me I’ve been having technical difficulties… I know it’s shocking 😂

This senior session was so fun! Anna came out to my farm and we explored the fields and ponds. I thought we much get rained on but it ended up being a perfect spring day! It feel like we have the best of all worlds on our property, fields, ponds, woods, flowers. Anna said that it was her dream place to live, so she was perfectly at home and you could tell.

As always, thanks for tagging along!

Josh and Emily

January 31, 2023 0 Photography, Uncategorized

Josh and Emily were so sweet and so fun! They met me at my favorite childhood hiking spot, in Southern Illinois, for a post wedding photo session. This day was a dream come true for me! For years I’ve wanted to do a session at the spot but it just never worked out! I’m thankful for Emily and Josh who braved the cold January day. It ended up being super cloudy and super windy but we still got some epic portraits…I guess we all had a dream come true! was so soooo pleased with all of the portraits from this session! Emilys veil made for some excitement in the wind but gave us some beautiful portraits! It was a fun adventure and %100 worth the cold!!

I had such a blast with Nick and Kylee! They are such a sweet and fun couple! They brought along their dogs to their engagement session and we had a time of trying to get them to stay still 😂 But we got some beautiful images and I’m excited to share this entire gallery! This was my favorite gallery from our farm so far!

Thanks for tagging along!

I don’t do a lot of sessions downtown because I’m usually a trees and field kind of gal but Havynn is an artist, so we met downtown and I LOVE all the images!
