Jordan + Sarah. Engaged
As a photographer I’d be lying if I said I’m always feeling inspired or never experience self doubt as a business owner… Last summer Jordan and Sarah’s engagement session came at a time when I was completely exhausted after my spring and summer wedding season, I was drained and feeling totally uninspired. Every year I have those moments where I feel like I want to quit and like maybe this job isn’t cut out for me. But really it’s just because I’ve forgotten to do things that artistically inspire me so my photography becomes a job and my cup becomes empty.
Well, let me tell you… Last year right in that moment of feeling totally uninspired and ready to quit. Sarah and I picked this gorgeous location at The Kentucky Horse Park. I had never met her in person and had no idea what to expect. And THEN she arrived in her gorgeous rust-colored dress with her long hair in braids and she asked me if she could shoot the session barefoot. Uhm.. heck yes!! Instantly I’m completely inspired by her and Jordan doing all the cute things running through the meadow in that gorgeous golden light and I’m remembering everything I love about photography and shooting couples in love. This session alone gave me what I needed to get through my fall wedding season so I just HAD to share it with yall.
Laurel + Carrington. Engaged
Laurel and Carrington’s engagement session kicked off this Spring full of so many engagement sessions and so many amazing couples! It was the perfect session to get me all giddy and inspired for wedding season this year. We met at McConnell Springs Park, one of my favorite locations in Lexington, Kentucky. I have shot there at almost every month of the year and I love that it can look so completely different at different seasons making each persons session look unique. At Laurel and Carrington’s session we found some really cool spots that are usually too overgrown too explore. I love it when I show up to a session and I instantly get this surge of inspiration.. the lighting, the couple, the setting. Everything about this session had me geeking out from start to finish reminding me why I love what I do.
