welcome

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!

Miss Kelsay

June 22, 2010

Meet Kelsay!

She just happens to be family, but without being biased at all … I think she is BEAUTIFUL!!

Good thing she has a protective big brother and a Daddy that will have to stay busy keeping all those boys away!  =]

These are a few shots we did for a beauty pageant she was entering recently!  A lot of times people worry about locations for their photos … these were made right in Kelsay’s front yard!!!

Best of luck pretty lady!!  I don’t believe you will need it though!

Miss Emry is Growing Up

April 20, 2010

As a photographer it is such an an honor when parents  bring their children to me to capture milestones in their life, but when they choose to tell all their friends about my photography and come back for multiple sessions ….. I feel so blessed!!

I first met Miss Emry when she was around 6 months old!  She will forever be known as my Double Cola baby from the shot taken at Dunagan’s Store at Mill Springs!  =]  With a couple more sessions in between this one I still could not believe how much Emry had grown since last fall!

She is now a full time, on the move, busy, happy, exploring toddler!  Did I mention she was busy and on the move??  =]

Mom was tired, Dad was tired, I .. well I was tired too, but not Emry….. she definitely outlasted the three of us!

Isn’t she a doll?

I taught her this new and hilarious trick …..

‘Hey Emry … Can I smell your flower?’

Achoo!!!!!!

Let the giggles begin!

I had so many favorites from this session that I had a difficult time narrowing it down.  I am glad her Mommy has to pick out which one to hang her walls and not me!  =]

I don’t know …… this one really melted my heart!

Thank you so much for all the fun Miss Emry!!  I love watching you grow!

Time Flies When You are Having FUN!!!

April 3, 2010

I cannot believe this little one was celebrating his 1st birthday already!

He was one of my very first newborns that I photographed!  I was looking for a ‘new’born to try out some new props and ideas and my sister referred me to her hairdresser, Jessica who was expecting at any time. She was excited and willing to let her little boy make his modeling debut in my home studio!

If my memory is correct, she arrived at my house with her little bundle of joy  when he was just a tiny 11 day old baby!  I caught up with this little guy at six months old and once again for his birthday!

Watching my own children grown and develop is truly amazing and having the honor and privilege of doing so with my customers and friends it such also a blessing that I take a lot of pride in!

Happy 1st Birthday Gage!  May this year be filled with even more wonder and amazement!

Gage had a little moral support from his cousin, Jaxon during his photo shoot!  He also wanted to share Gage’s new wagon he got for his Birthday.  =]

Gage didn’t seem to mind one bit and was happy to share!

Since Gage fell asleep in the car on the way to our meeting place, I got a chance to spend a little time with Jaxon while Gage snoozed just a few extra minutes!

He was on the go!!!!  So off we went!!  I love the giggles that went along with his curiosity!

Catching up with old Friends …..

March 16, 2010

I was ecstatic when my friend Amy called me about photographing her son Benjamin’s 6 months Photos!

Amy and I have been friends since 2nd grade!  It seems like only yesterday .. I know that is so cliche, but really it seems like not that long ago!

This is Benjamin and he would truly make your heart smile!  He was so happy, so loved …. his eyes just sparkled!

My favorite part about this session was all his Mom had to do was start singing to him and he would start smiling from the inside out!

Amy, thank you for allowing me to take these milestone photos for you!  I hope you will treasure the images and the memory of this time!

Reed

November 27, 2009

Reed’s Mom just happens to be my first cousin and also a college roommate!

When she asked me to come up one day to photograph her son Reed during his Horse Riding lessons I couldn’t wait!

Although I can be a little  …. lets just say intimated around horses since I was thrown from one at a very age …. Reed’s favorite horse was gentle and also very sweet!

Thankfully Jill reminded me to wear old shoes or even boots because it could be a little messy around the farm! =]

I loved all of these images we captured this day because Reed loved being outside and this was such a fun thing to do!  When parents choose to do their portraits in locations that are special to them I get so excited!
