The Andriots : Shelbyville, Kentucky Family Photography
I am most sure you have run into my next family if you’ve ever been to Shelbyville. Bob and Sue (they’re first) own and operate The Bell House Restaurant…you know, the pink one with the AHH-mazing chicken noodle. Bob was also the relator for my studio purchase. Bob and Sue are adorable – and they’re first in the lineup.
You may recognize the rest of the family from the paint store downtown, soccer games, visits to the bank, haircuts, school…..they’re everywhere. And I am quite glad they have chosen to be here for some time. They are a super-sweet family that gives lots to our community. Sue: thanks for purchasing this session at the A Loving Choice Pregnancy Center Silent Auction. It was my privilege to meet the rest of the family I didn’t know and document your sweet love. Enjoy!
The newest addition…I just love this one :-)
The Thompsons : Shelbyville, Ky. Family Photographer
I am so, very glad that I got to meet the Thompsons through their grandmother. They are just as kind as they are beautiful. Jared, Melissa, Logan, Colin and baby Ellen came to town to visit their grandmother for Halloween. Melissa is a Shelby County girl at heart – I’m sure you’ve met her parents, Neil and Sharon Hackworth at some point. After I left their home, I began to remember Mrs. Hackworth from my elementary school days…I think. Anywho, enjoy these!
Stephens Family : Henry County Family Photographer
Todd and Stephanie met me on their Henry County farm where we photographed them with their sweet little boy, Graham. Their golden retrievers….who have amazing trick skills tagged along, too. Enjoy!
Yoffe Family : Louisville, Ky. Family Photography
Meet the Yoffes! I met Kristen and Bryan through Celebrating Adoption a few years ago. We met once for lunch and chatted about cameras, and not too long ago I received a note telling me about the adoption they had waited quite a long time for. Meet Owen – he’s a sweetie who loves to play ball with his Dad – and aren’t his baby blue’s to die for? Love it! Enjoy!
The Frazees : Louisville, KY Family Photographer
Dr. Tyler and his wife, Cheryl brought along their sweet little Madelyn to Locust Grove for some family time. I enjoyed very much running with Madelyn, playing red-light-green-light and dancing in between. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed being there. Tyler is one of our veterinarians – and growing up in that busy racehorse industry I appreciate a great deal the time he takes out for his girls when he can and the way he loves them. I hope you see that here. Enjoy!
The Ruble Family I Shelbyville, Ky.
Meet the Rubles. Last year I had the pleasure of photographing their younger daughter, a few weekends ago, their older daughter was a bridesmaid for a wedding I photographed and now their family portraits have made it to the blog. Thanks, Rubles for inviting me into your lives – it’s been my pleasure to know you for so, very long. Best!

Horses Work For Kentucky
Though I am not shy about sharing my opinion in person, I try to leave this blog as impartial as I can – most of the time. This issue is one that is so, very important to my family and won’t be getting the same, unbiased treatment. If you live in Kentucky you are surely affected by the horse racing industry, and I am sure you’ve heard it’s having a tough time. For the past couple weeks I have begun work on a project about how the racing industry affects everyone. I am looking for stories of small farms having a tough time making ends meet, of families who are moving to other states where gambling helps fuel the racing industry, for little groceries going out of business because their neighboring farms are, too. For all of you that fear the fall of the industry and how it will change our great commonwealth.
Though the slots bill has been stopped for a bit, I feel that it is important for me to document the struggles our neighbors and dear friends are facing. All this in hopes that putting a face on the industry’s fall will help to communicate to those on the other side of the issue just how important our horses are.
If you know of families, people, farms who are being affected by our state’s failing industry, I would love to meet them. Love to document them and tell their stories. Quiet for now, but I’m sure you will hear more about this from me. I was raised on a horse, fed by the efforts of many of them and my college scholarship came directly from horses racing and earning money. My business depends on friends and family; a whole community dependent on horses.
I hope that my love affair with horses will be able to last a long time. That I will be able to take my children and grandchildren riding at great barns where they will meet great people, as I have. That you and yours will continue to thrive because of the horse.
I hope that you will view these images from a rally last week and think about how your life and business would be different if the horse industry in Kentucky didn’t exist. Feel free to post comments about the changes. The conversation must continue.

A hint of what is to come…
