home.

i'm from louisville, kentucky. (pronounced louh-avul) a big city with a small town feel. it's home. it's wonderful & i miss it. luckily i shoot several weddings a year there so i'm never away for too long.

i was there this past week- visiting family & friends & shooting a wedding! The groom, karl, was the best man in a wedding i shot three years ago- i love it when that happens. this past saturday he married the beautiful lorinda & gained a sweet stepdaughter, kylie. karl is so great with her -it was so much fun to watch their little family.

i'm still editing those pics! so you have to be patient just a little longer...

this post is going to be of a cookout my mom & i hosted at her house for a bunch of my friends. my highschool friends are still very close & now they are in the married with kids phase. so- let me apologize for the majority of the pictures being our adorable little boys nicholas & leo, born 6 weeks apart. i just can't help myself.

they're curious little buggers & best friends already. well it's kinda whether they like it or not. but we think they like it :)
