Baby Avery | Louisville Baby Photographer
Not only is this little doll adorable and sweet but… normally I get the punishment of having to say bye to little ones after we work together. Not this sweetheart! I have the privilege of baby sitting her a couple times a week (Me and her mom met from her hiring me to photograph her birth. Her birth was as beautiful as she is!)
So look at the cutie I get to hang out with on a regular basis…
I’m entering a contest
As most artists are, I am my worst critic. I often hear of photo contests and have people encourage me to enter but I’ll put it off, or tell myself I’m not THAT good, etc.
Well. Enough of that! My wonderful assistant sent me a link to this contest by improvephotography.com and insists I enter, so I am.
And on that note, here are some cute kids.
R Family | Louisville Family Photography
A friend of this family noticed they didn’t have many pictures as a family and decided they needed to fix that!
We met at Central park, and despite the freezing temps, got a few shots that really captured everyones personality.
Sunshine Preschool
I’m not a school photographer. It’s not that I have a problem with school photograph. It’s just that that’s not where I market myself.
It’s also not really my style. The whole posing in front of a static background, everyone looking the same, sorta deal.
In any case, a few years ago, I was really taking about any job I could get. I saw that a preschool was looking for a photographer, so I took the job.
I was in no way disappointed. That day I photographed about 8 children. I think that was really the perfect amount to make it worth my time, but not overwhelming.
The next year came, and not surprisingly, I didn’t hear anymore from them. Seriously, I didn’t expect it to be an ongoing relationship. I mean, that would have been awesome, but it was a small school and I really just thought that was it.
Imagine my surprise when the director/teacher emailed me this year! She wanted me to come back!
It’s true, repeat clients are the greatest compliment. I think it’s somehow more uplifting when you think a client has forgotten about you, then the contact you all “Remember me?”. I absolutely LOVE it!
So… Here are a few shots from that day. (this was also one of the only days in history that my husband has assisted me. His help was MUCH appreciated but it was a different experience having his help. Thanks darling!)
Sam, The Fighter | Louisville KY Child Photographer
This is Sam.
Sam has been battling Neuroblastoma for over a year now.
(You can learn more about Sam here, and read Sam’s story here.
I first got to meet Sam around Halloween of last year. It was the closest his family could schedule to his first birthday (Thanksgiving) since he was going to be in and out of the hospital for treatments over his birthday.
He is an amazing boy to watch. I had to force myself to take pictures, because I really wanted to just drink in his fantasticness. He’s definitely one of those kids that I could just watch walk, and investigate the world around him, for hours.
Little T | Louisville KY Child Photographer
This is little T, his mama adopted him from ethiopia a little over a year ago. (That was when I first met him and his mom. She had asked me to take pictures of them, and mostly him, to celebrate and commemorate them being together for their first year.)
I’m not sure I’ve ever met a little boy so young, yet so full of personality, and love! I feel like I should be PAYING to take pictures of him. He’s absolutely adorable, and a blast to be around!
Just look…
Grahm & Ruby | Louisville Child Photographer
These kids were a lot of fun to work with. Despite the insane heat, they were ready to play and show me their spunk.
Their spunk just so happened to be photo worthy.
Their mother wanted something sort of warehousy/industrial (I love switching up scenery. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the natural setting of the park (hence why I suggest it to so many) but, it keeps me from running out of ideas when a client wants to try something new every now and then) so we hit up a little industrial area in the city, and it provided us with exactly the settings we wanted.
The Y family | Morehead City, NC Family Photography
Back in 2007, when I first started to get serious about my photography as a business I met this family, and they entrusted me with the task of photographing them and their little one (she’s not so little any more).
Through the years, I have moved. Then they moved (Then moved back) but we’ve managed to cross paths throughout.
They’re cute, sweet, and make beautiful babies. What more could you ask for?
So this last visit to NC, we met up once more, so I could photograph, them with their new addition.
Here are some of my favorites.
Maggie | Louisville childrens photographer
This is Maggie. She’s 9 months old now.
Her parents wanted to go somewhere special for this session. Unfortunately a lot of place were struggling with clean up given the extensive rains we’ve been dealing with.
White hall gardens said that their grounds were free and clear from any noticeable damage, so that’s where we went.
I’ve been working with her family since shortly before her entrance to the world.
Maggie was my first official “baby’s first year”, and her mama wanted a maternity session to go along with it.
I can’t describe how exciting it is to watch another child grow up through my lens.
In only 3 short months (all too short, as I’m sure her parents would agree) I’ll have to shoot the finale to this progressive documentation and I can’t wait to put it all together.
Maddie | Louisville children photography
New site. New blog. New photos!
So, meet Maddie. An adorable toddler, that’s full of spunk.
When she ran, her cheeks jiggled, and it was one of the most adorable things I’ve ever seen.
