Thank Heaven for Little Girls | Sutton Claire
Holly + Tyler, inspired by a trip to Ireland together, knew the name Sutton was the perfect unique name for their baby girl. At twelve days old little Sutton Claire already has both mom, dad and grandma totally smitten with her... but her furry siblings are still adjusting ;) Enjoy a sweet peek into their Lexington, Kentucky in home newborn session filled with lots of snuggling, dimples and tiny toes.
Sweet Little Georgiana
Autumn + Joey welcomed baby Georgiana in June and she has completely stolen their hearts. It's always an honor to document a family at the beginning of a new chapter in their lives and spend quiet moments with them at home. These little details are fleeting treasures; the way Georgi lays and positions her legs because she was born breech, how Autumn strokes her arm and kisses her feet during feeding and the way Joey's facial hair makes her face crunch. Enjoy the little moments of this incredibly sweet in home newborn session in Lexington, Kentucky.
The Huffman Family
Alex + Brooke have been watching their little man Graham grow for the last 6 months- he's still trying to sit up on his own but filling any space he's in with adorable smiles! Cousin Addie joined in for some photos too so these cuties have some portraits growing up together! <3 We spent an evening at Keeneland making funny noises to earn some smiles, chatting about our favorite ice cream and envisioning these cousins hopefully enjoying Keeneland together in the far, far future. :)
Newest Arrival | Emily Rose
She's the newest arrival to the Vanderhorst house and she's already filling her days learning to root for the University of Kentucky Wildcats, cheering on dad as a swim team coach and snuggling up with mom. Join us for her in-home newborn session for all the sweetness!
Corey + NoΓ«l take Love for a (bike) Ride!
Corey + NoΓ«l are high school sweethearts ready to take on the next adventures together in life! The first of those adventures is their 50lb fur baby named Jax and the next is marriage! :) We enjoyed a summer evening at Keeneland together and ended with a bike ride- but the surprise is that the bikes are special! Corey's grandparent's gave them the vintage bikes that they too rode and loved... but they needed quite a bit of work. After some new tires, tune up and shine they were ready for a new life on the road starting with this photo session! <3
Cheers to John + Toni!
John + Toni met almost a decade ago and have followed each other from New York to Kentucky for jobs and school- frequenting breweries inbetween. They love to spend time together in the Distillery District so we strolled around on a steamy summer evening clinking glasses of beer to all of life's excitements- like their upcoming wedding, trip to the Mediterranean and their Pomeranian pup!
Adelaide Turns ONE!
Iβve been photographing this little ladyβs parents, Cody + Kayla, since they got engaged in 2012! Itβs hard to believe miss Adelaide is already a year old! At one she's loving her stuffed husky puppy, open mouth kisses, reading books and climbing all over mom and dad- when she's not busy trying to make friends with everyone. :) Click here to enjoy her one year old portrait session at the UK Arboretum.
Waiting on baby P!
When I met up with Autumn + Joey for their maternity session last week the gender of their little babe was still unknown- but they have since welcomed a beautiful baby girl! Autumn shared their journey of love through joy and hardship and that it was so special to have images to document this chapter in their story together. Join us for their sunrise session at McConnell Springs in Lexington, Ky.
