Sami | Wild & Wonderful West Virginia

As I sat here for hours thinking of the perfect thing to write, I finally realized I do not need to pour out my feelings for you to know how I feel. For as long as I can remember Sami has been my partner-in-crime, my sister and my best friend. There are so many words I can say, but the ones that really need to be said are, I love you and I always will. Keep being the beautiful, kindhearted, opinionated person you are and I know you will succeed in any-and everything you do. Growing up is hard, but growing up and still staying friends for fifteen years is harder and I thank you for making the effort. Thank you for always believing in me when I didn't, thank you for being my shadow when I was alone, thank you for giving me your shoulder when I needed to cry, thank you for being my pillow when I needed a hug, thank you for being my smile when I was happy, but most of all thank you for being you when I just needed a best friend. 

 

 

Hope you loved these as much as I did!

Rachel | Freeman Lake

When I first met Rachel I immediately gravitated towards her bubbly personality and contagious smile, she is the perfect friend, listener, and supporter! She does not fall short of being one of the sweetest, lovable, most genuine people that I have ever met! Our friendship is very special to me and I am beyond blessed that God put her in my life. Thanks for being my real life Barbie doll and an even better friend! I love you and hope you love these as much as I do:)

.... Rachel was also my model for my very first boudoir shoot that will be up sometime (hopefully) soon!

Katie & Jacob | Talon Winery

Even in the 100% Kentucky humidity the Talon Winery and Vineyard has to be one of the most beautiful places ever to tie the knot! I had so much fun second shooting Katie and Jacob's wedding with Maggie of Maggie Coursey Photography!

The wedding day was filled with love from their college buddies (they fell head-over-heels at University of Kentucky, GO CATS!!), long embraces from family members, and tear-jerking speeches from life-long friends and relatives. This family definitely knows how to throw a party and how TO party! They made the night one never to forget:)

Katie and Jacob, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph a new chapter of your lives. Your day, every single minute, was perfect, beautiful, happy, and a true representation of love. Together you make people feel so welcome and ready to celebrate your joy and happiness! I was honored to be apart in documenting your first day as husband and wife. I wish you guys a lifetime of laughs and love!

Most of all thank you Maggie, for teaching, critiquing and growing with me in photography, you have made me fall head over heals for this art! There is nothing I can do to show you my appreciation for helping me excel in something I am genuinely passionate about. You are a beautiful friend, mother and photographer! Keep being the wonderful person you are:)

 

 

 

It was a great night!
