michael's senior portraits ; louisville portrait photographer

it's time to meet another cousin! this handsome guy is michael. he also played football... it's kindof a family thing. our grandfather was a respected highschool football coach.

michael will be heading to alabama in the fall :)



this pug puppy kept jumping up on him during the shoot... & i loved this shot of him laughing at it.


i asked him to give me a serious smile... ;) great effort!








congratulations michael... can't wait to see where this life takes you.

jackson senior portraits : louisville photographer

jackson is a senior at trinity high school in louisville ky. he played on their football team, that won 3 out of the 4 years they made it to state. & this past year they were ranked no 1 nationally. so, kinda a big deal! on top of that he's a smart, sweet kid. i mean man.

he also happens to be my cousin. it's so crazy to me that he's about to go off to college.

but here he is. my baby cousin jackson.


they live on the river & really wanted some pictures with it in the background. but as our luck would have it, it was super overcast & windy. i think the pictures came out pretty great for a cold feb day.

look his sweet smile!!!!






so excited for all that lies ahead of you. congratulations on an amazing high school experience!
