"Kid tested, mother approved!" | Central KY photographer

First of all, happy 3rd birthday to my big boy! He turned 3 on the 23rd. Crazy!

As I was browsing the cereal aisle the other day the box of Kix cereal caught my eye. As most of us allergy Mom's do, I picked it up, turned it over, and began reading the ingredient label. There are a few cereals by GM that my kiddos can eat, and cross contaimation with GM has not been a issue for us, so I thought it was worth a peak. Guess what? Top 8 free according to the box.
So this morning my kiddos had Kix and rice milk for breakfast. Brody LOVED them! I swear he carried the box around all day long!

Now, I know my food allergy buddies can relate to the joy of finding a new safe food! Enjoy Brody's joy captured in pics!

In my red high heels!

I could not resist grabbing the camera when Lilly came prancing in the kitchen with my red high heels on! I really think this set of pictures will be some that I will treasure when Lilly is all grown up!

All of these were taken in my house with natural light! If you like this style of photography, I can come to your home and capture your children in their own environments, just being themselves! Just send me a e-mail for details!

Wow Katie, update already!

Seriously?? Ok, life with a newborn a almost 3 year old, and a 4 year old has been fun, but busy! Making trips twice a week for allergy shots for the older kids, plus doctor visits for myself and the baby keeps me beyond busy! My computer time has been limited, but everyone is sleeping now so I thought it would be a wonderful time to update my blog!!

I'll add a few pictures of Miss Darcy Kate. These were the pictures I took of her in the hospital at 1 day old. Many of you have seen these already, but I can't leave her out of the blog! She is 6 weeks old now, and it is true, time flies.

Since I am a natural light photographer, and my studio is in the garage, I have not taken any other pro pics of Darcy Kate yet. Let me tell you my camera is screaming at me to take some but I just can't bring myself to strip a 6 wk old down to her diaper is 7 degree weather. Nope, nope. Hurry up spring!

I am shooting again after enjoying a few weeks with the baby. I have pink, red, and white backdrops ready for Valentines Day, so just drop me a e-mail!

B Johnson sneak peek | Katie Lou's Photography

Happy 1st Birthday to this little guy! He is such a cutie pie, that I had a really hard time just adding a few pictures of this session to the blog. Cute kid + awesome fall colors= delighted photographer! I am telling you, I am going to be so sad when all the leaves fall off the trees and everything turns brown. But my guess is the crazy winds out there are going to take the majority of leaves off tonight. Sigh.

Mom and Dad played a big part in trying to get their son to look at the camera. I made them promise not to tell anyone what a goof I am when trying to get the attention of a child, so I won't tell you how silly they were dancing and singing...oops!

Enjoy!

Senior pics! | Central KY senior photographer

Meet Sam. He is my little cousin, and my 4 year old daughters first crush. A couple months ago we saw Sam at Wal-mart and after we finished talking to him and went on our way, Lilly announced "Sam is soooo cool. I think I love him." I got a good giggle out of that coming from a 4 year old. Then Monday Sam came to have his senior pictures made, and after he left Lilly says "I am going to marry Sam because he is the one I love." So there ya go buddy, she loves you! lol.

OK, enough about silly Lilly. We could not have timed this session any better. The fall colors were at their best Monday. It is absolutely beautiful back here! Sadly, the color will fade in a few days. We had a good time letting Sam just be himself and capturing that! This is just a sample of what we shot, and I am not even done editing them yet, I just ran through a pulled out a few to post on the blog.

Enjoy, and hope you like them Aunt Wina!

Sweet little baby "O" is not a baby anymore, he is turning 1!! Happy Birthday buddy!

"O" is the son of my cousin, and although I knew he looked a lot like his Daddy, I was struck by how much he actually did when I was doing this session. Funny how when something fills the frame of your camera you really study it in a way you normally would not. It was almost like looking at a little Josh!

We are starting to see a little bit of fall color in these pictures, which reminds me....my annual fall special will be coming up. Dates for that are Sept 25th &26th and Oct 8th-11th. Packages will be available for this special only! I will also be hosting a fall special contest, and 1 lucky client will get to take home a 16x20 canvas for free. FREE! That is a $185.00 value!

Please know that I will not be choosing the winner of the contest, some fellow photographers will. Don't miss out on this great chance!

Just drop me a e-mail to book a slot for the fall session!

A touching wedding image | Lancaster KY wedding photographer

A few weeks ago I had the honor of photographing the wedding of a couple that I went to high school with. I am finishing up the editing on that wedding tonight, but I just could not wait to share this image.

Right before the ceremony I heard a older gentleman talking fondly about the bride. "I used to take her out with me when she was just this high!" he said to another man. He had such pride on his face! I could not help but to steal glances at this man during the wedding ceremony, and you could tell he was watching that little girl with such love!



After the wedding was over and the couple were standing in their receiving line, the gentleman came through and she gave him a hug! Turns out he was her grandfather! It is obvious that she is special in his eyes, and he means a lot to her. Their hug lasted long enough for me to get several shots of them together. This one was by far my fav! Brought a tiny tear to my eye! I hope you like it too!
