My name is Kellie.

I am a professional wedding, event and portrait photographer located in South Central, Kentucky!

My photo blog began many years ago as a way for friends and family to watch our children grow! My passion for photography also has grown over the years much like my children and I am very proud of my versatility and style.

I believe fun, relaxing and REAL best describes my photography and one of my many goals is to present you with the kind of memories that I would love to hang on my own walls! I want your photos to tell the story of your life!

Thank you for stopping by and your interest in my work and the images I am creating! I look forward to sharing my photography with you!

Living a life Full of Gratitude …..

August 24, 2010

This past weekend I attended a Beth Moore conference with my Mom and Sister in Lexington, KY.  There were so many wonderful things that I walked away with in my heart, but one that really resonated with me was her encouragement to live a life full of gratitude!

I left Rupp Arena and after a quick lunch I was off to photograph a wedding!  In the back of my mind I knew my low tire pressure light was on, but after checking all tires and everything appeared to be okay I went on.  I finished up my evening and drove home….. the light was still on.  When I pulled into the garage I did sigh a relief for making it safely home.

Fast forward to Monday morning when I took my car to have it checked out ……  this is what was found in my tire:

I kept the screw in my pocket the rest of the day.  I noticed it several times, but it wasn’t until I got home that I pulled it out… ready to toss it… when I realized the message it was clearly trying to impose on me!

There were so many things within a 48 hour time span that I needed to be thankful for simply because of this object lodged in one of my tires.  So many things that could have gone ‘wrong’, but they did not.

It may seem small and forgotten now, but I chose to keep this item so I will see it often and be reminded to be grateful for the blessings in my life… both small and large, both expected and unexpected, both joyful and sorrowful and feel blessed with each day!  ~Kellie

The Wedding Day of Kristin and Wes

August 17, 2010

This wedding day was straight out of a little girl’s wedding dream book!

It was gorgeous and beautiful in every way!

So many times during the day I caught myself dreaming of throwing my own daughter a wedding like this one!  Every detail was centered around family and the day was more than any bride could possibly dream of!

The girls were getting ready at the Bride’s grandparents home.  You could easily imagine Kristin running through this lovely home as a child.  =]

sneak for Britney and Tom!

August 11, 2010

Britney and Tom were awesome.  That is all I can say!  They were so in love.  So excited to be getting married.  So sweet!  They made my day!

I couldn’t wait to show them a ‘sneak peak’ of their images, but I just could not decide on which one.  Then I decided on two, then three and finally four!  =]

Enjoy!!

Have a wonderful honeymoon and I will be in touch soon with more goodies!!

Our Family Adventure to Southern California

August 10, 2010

Shannon and I decided several months ago that we were going to take a different kind of vacation this summer and let our kids experience new and exciting places along with us!  This year we chose to travel to Southern California!

Shannon and I were excited and the kids were along for the ride!  =]  We only offered to ship them back home a few times!  They were overall great travelers!

Here is a Cliff Note version of our adventure documented by my point and shoot camera Shannon gave me for my birthday!  =]

Our first stop was San Diego!  Loved this city!  While our family and friends were sweating it out home in KY we were enjoying 65 degree weather!  (I will not lie … I was cold!)  =]  It was beautiful though!!

We had enough daylight when we arrived to take the ferry over to Coronado Island!
