Cutest 4.5 month old ever! | Central Ky photographer

OK, so she's mine! But she is a cutie!! I love this stage when babies grab their little toes all the time! So here is just one quick share of my little Darcy Kate chillin on my new, wild set-up. More to come later!

Dance baby dance! {Stanford Ky photographer}

I made a slide show for Steppin' Out Dance studio, and it was shown before the girls spring recital. Basically I went in one afternoon and took some shots of the girls as they practiced. Want to challenge yourself as a photographer? Give this a try!

The dance studio is very nice, but pretty small, especially considering I was working with a 50mm lens and there was not much natural light. So, making the best of a not so ideal situation, (lighting wise) I used what natural light I had, and bounced my flash for the rest.



I will say I really enjoyed the experience of getting to photograph so many darling little girls, and some very talented older girls! It took me a back a couple (cough) years to hang out with the groups of older teens and listen to their chit chat! I also enjoyed my little peak behind the scenes of what goes on at practices, and this was what I tried to capture for the slide show, the things we as parents, don't really get to see! Not portraits, but just this little moment in the lives of our girls!

So I have decided to share just a couple pictures from the slide show, and of course one, never before seen, studio picture of my own little ballerina. Go ahead, tell me she's cute! :) Enjoy!

A daughter comes home | Central KY photographer

I won't share the whole story that goes with these pictures, but basically our friends fell in love with this little girl while they were on a mission trip at a orphanage in Hatti. It was obvious by talking to our friends that they were crazy about her! Then came the horrible quake. And our friends started looking into bringing this sweet little girl home.

Another couple from the same church got to bring home a different little girl from the same orphanage a few weeks ago, but our friends were not able to bring heir own sweet girl back, instead her new Daddy had to come back home empty handed. I can only imagine how hard that must have been, not only on our friends, but on Kesna.

Well, another trip, a few weeks, and many many prayers later, they were able to bring her to her new home! I was so glad to be able to be at their homecoming party at their church, and to have the opportunity to capture this special time for them!

How precious these two little girls are! How lucky they are to have such wonderful and loving parents, and how blessed those parents are to have them!!

It warmed my heart to read this on the new, proud Momma's facebook tonight "when we got home she was so excited to see HER room and HER clothes. She rolled around in the bed and contiued to say in Creole "Praise the Lord!!" then she sat down on the couch and said "Kesna American!"

I agree Kesna! Praise the Lord, and welcome to America!

Enjoy the photos!

Kirkpatrick sneak peek | Central KY family photographer

What a cute family! This is the 3rd time I have photographed little AG (2 years old) but the first time her big brother and little sister have been in front of my camera. I think they all look so much alike! Enjoy!

Large share!! I am not even done with all of these yet, but I could not resist to post a few! This is my Lilly bug and her best friend Aidan. They meet when they were 2 at story hour and have been buddies ever since. I am so thankful that they did meet, and Aidan's mom and I have become great friends too! It's also a plus that Aidan's little brother is Brody's age!

The girls take dance together and last minute today we decided to load them up and haul them out to my Dad's farm to take some pictures of them in their adorable recital outfits. So off we went with 3 kids in tow (I'm not that crazy I left my other two at home with Daddy!) carrying kids in ballet slippers through the woods!

I was tickled with the way these turned out! I hope Lilly and Aidan continue to be great friends and that they have these pictures to look back on one day! Enjoy!

Fun at the park! / Danville Ky photographer

This may go down as my fav session thus far! The pictures all turned out so sweet that I had a time trying to decide which to blog about. Oh and 4 has got to be the funnest age to photograph!

We officially meet Miss E. at food allergy camp in 2008. Lilly and Miss E became fast buddies, and Lilly is only a day older than her. I was thrilled when her Momma decided to make the 2 hour drive to have her pictures made,and hang out with us for a while. We did a few shots at Millennium park and then ventured on back to my home studio for some more shots and a little play date!

E. is so sweet, and I enjoyed editing her session and seeing all of her facial expressions! Such personality! We enjoyed your company guys!
