Jeremy I Louisville Senior Photography
Can I just say I pretty much laughed the ENTIRE time Jeremy and I shot? Really. I LOVE it when you seniors aren’t afraid to come with ideas and silly props. This boy can yo-yo. He can make serious face in front of a mannequin wearing a gold track suit. AND he didn’t say no to any idea ever…he embraced it and made it funnier than I could have planned! Love it! Love it! Love it! Seniors: Please bring ideas – I want to see your personality and your fun in images….a yo-yo may not be your style, but bring your pony, a prom dress – something super personable. Thanks Jeremy for having loads of fun and giving me a call. It was my pleasure :)
Kristen : Louisville, Kentucky Senior Photographer
Though it was rainy out for a bit of her session and cloudy for all of it, Kristen still rocked it out (it must be our sharing a birthday…we channeled the same happy when cloudy waves). I am super envious of her long lashes and blue eyes. And I loved having the weather as a little challenge. We found all sorts of way to be under cover, while being pretty. Thanks for inviting me to share in this part of your life! You look quite amazing, if I do say so myself. Enjoy!
Lorena I Shelby County High School
Mac I Shelby County High School
Mac has been my neighbor since I was a little girl, we were both born and raised in Shelby County and just a bit ago, I photographed his sister for her senior pictures. Just like Jaime, we photographed Mac at his family’s farm. I was so glad to have Mac’s big, red truck and his love of hunting to work with. Thanks and enjoy!
Cody I Male High School
Shocking, I know, but there is a boy on the blog. Woot, woot for a change of pace. Thanks to Cody and his mother for giving me a call and bringing along Cody’s guitar, a sweet hat and some cowboy boots….makes me want some boots to shoot in. Enjoy!
Oldies But Goodies I Moving Time
As many of you know, I (and many other amazing people and friends) have been working to open up a store in Shelbyville where I will move my little home and office to. Tonight, while I smelled oil paint for hours, listened to country music, sang a little too loudly and watched as my floor went from wood to white, I reflected on the journey that has brought me to this place I will soon call home.
I am oh, so, very grateful for *the* most wonderful family, friends and clients that are making this possible and sustainable. You have been so, very encouraging along my path, and most patient when school got in the way, the remodel went too slow or a host of other life matters got me down. You provided laughs, joy and lots of learning for me. Many of you have grown to be close and dear friends, and for that I am most grateful.
With each stroke of the brush I thought back through many sessions where I learned so much from my clients, friends and family. Everything from how to pack for college, how to make people comfortable, even how to properly tape for painting stripes and a host of other things, and I realized just how much I have grown from having you all come into my lives. So many of the times I spent with you photographing were turning points for me, epiphanies and falls. I really hope that in some way I touched your lives, just a teeny-tiny percent of how you each have influenced, taught and changed me.
So where is this all going..I dunno..I have seen lots of you and many of your parents doing something new, this week: sending those high school seniors off to college for the first time. And that’s who this post is for the most, I suppose. Four years ago I was doing the same thing you are. As you move away from home and start your own little life, remember to take a little time to sing aloud, listen to your thoughts and be thankful for everyone who made your life this far what it is.
Think about where you want to be when you graduate and what you’d hope to be doing. I remember my first night at school, unpacking my belongings and decorating my room, I dreamed of having my own little place to call home and my own business that connected me to the world. Western was going to be the place that would teach me what I needed to know to follow my little plan. I dreamed of coming home after graduation and finding a store in Shelbyville to call my home. Never could I have guessed I would find such a perfect place, so soon, but alas, I was a lucky one and I have. Crazy to think that just four years later, I’m sitting in the middle of my floors painting and dreaming, instead of on my dorm bed decorating and dreaming.
This still isn’t going anywhere clear. Hmm. All of this s-l-o-w-ne-sssss on the building purchase and remodel has really had me operating in a fog of disorder, but tonight, I remembered again how blessed I have been and how much disorder I have pushed through, with your help, of course. How neat it is to see your dreams come full circle. And how great that road has been.
You college kiddos at school for the first night alone, and you moms crying all the way home, chins up and minds dreaming. It’s crazy how far four years and some luck can take you. Enjoy it, because you’ll be wrapped up in your graduation gown before you know it.
Lauren I Louisville Male High School Senior
After a rain delay, Lauren brought her GORGEOUS blue eyes and worked it out. She’s just as sweet as she looks in the last image. Enjoy!
Meredith I Shelby County High School Senior
When I first met with Meredith and her mother, one of the last questions they asked was something along the lines of “what is the most important thing to remember.” My answer is always to come with a good attitude, ready to smile for a few hours and laugh a ton. It was pretty warm outside the day that we shot, but Meredith was the perfect model – patient, smiley and indefinitely bubbly. I hope these images are a testimate to her sweet personality.
Thanks Ellis ladies for making our session go smoothly – I appreciate all the hard work you put into getting everything ready :-) Enjoy!
