Happy Fall Everyone

Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree...

Happy Halloween. Here's an adorable little pumpkin to get you in the spirit.

| Sneak Preview | Vanessa + Greg | Wedding |

Yesterday, I had the honor of photographing this wonderful couple on their wedding day.  They had planned an evening ceremony at McConnell Springs, a nature sanctuary hidden away within one of Lexington's industrial neighborhoods.  Greg and Vanessa kindly met me there early so we could do photos before the evening festivities.  Here are just a few of my favorites.

Oh gosh! It's been a while since I've posted here on the blog.  I hope everyone has been out having fun and enjoying this lovely fall.  I promise to be a better blogger ( I suppose I couldn't get much worse :D )

Happy Fall

Happy Equinox.

| Family | Fall Fun |

I took these photos this past weekend, at the Ashland Estate. After a rain-filled week, I feared our session might be a wash. Thankfully, we had abundant sunshine to bask in. Many photographers will tell you that overcast or open shade is better for photography. The sun does present certain challenges, but what's life without a challenge now and then.



Thank you Miranda, for letting share a few images of our fun, fall day with your beautiful family.

Fall Photos

I've always suggested the Lexington Cemetery to clients as a location for photographs. When I worked for another studio, I can remember talking to a lady on the phone. She said, in a thick country accent, "Y'all take pictures in a graveyard?" I had a hard time convincing her that it was a really beautiful place especially during the spring.

So, a couple weeks ago my mom came to visit and she said "Can we take a drive through the cemetery? It was so pretty in the spring I want to see what it was looks like in fall." I reluctantly agreed. I've never thought to go there in fall.

I was blown away by the pallet of colors. I'm so glad my mom suggested it, and luckily I had my camera with me.

The following weekend some friends and I traveled down Loraine, KY to visit the Maker's Mark Distillery. Nestled down in a little valley, Makers Mark loaded with classic Kentucky imagery.

We took the distillery tour, did a bourbon tasting and even dipped our own bottle. It was an awesome field trip on a dreary, rainy day.
