Bring On The Real Life

I am completely in love with this lifestyle session and I wanted you guys to see! Unless you're in the industry, most people don't know what a "lifestyle" session actually looks like.

I've been documenting this family since their maternity session in the studio. We decided to do something a little different to celebrate our big 4 month milestone, so I traveled to their adorable home to capture some family time between the three of them.

I know everyone is thinking there's no way their home would photograph well enough, or there's no way they could get it clean enough! I have the exact same thoughts about my own home!! The toys are EVERYWHERE! But there's no need to fret over the little stuff. I am there to document your LIFE. Your CONNECTION. Your LOVE. I'm not there to judge your mess 😜 I've got plenty of mess of my own!

So make the bed, throw the dishes in the dishwasher, and pull open those curtains. I'll scoot everything else out of the way when I get there!

We spend so much time just *being* with our families in our homes. Documenting this is a great way to hold onto those memories.

This nursery is absolutely stunning. We spend *so* much time making sure our babes have the most perfect nursery. We need to document it before they're big and throw their clothes all over the floor! I promise, this happens sooner than you think!

Let's get your lifestyle session on the calendar! Now booking for SUMMER!

Samuel Strong

I first met Samuel's mommy when she hired me as her birth photographer. We recently set up Samuel's six month photo session in Downtown Louisville. The weather had different plans and forced us into one of my favorite lifestyle sessions of all time.

While I would love to tell you more about my story surrounding Samuel, his mommy and daddy, and this ridiculously fun lifestyle session, this blog post is to tell you Samuel's story instead...

Samuel was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at just 18 days old.  There are currently about 30,000 people in the US with this genetic disease and the life expectancy is only 37 years old.  While Samuel is a healthy, normal boy right now, his parents work diligently to keep him that way with medications and chest physical therapy twice daily.  Their hope is to find a cure in his lifetime that will allow him to grown into a very old man, and science is getting close!

If you care to make a donation to help find a cure for CF, you can at www.cff.org/Kentucky. Be sure to make it in honor of Samuel Sweeney!

 Cheers!

A little bit older...

I've been photographing this baby since before she was born!! I cannot tell you how much fun it is for me to watch my littlest clients grow up! This little stinker does NOT like to smile on command, so it took LOTS of work from momma, daddy, and her amazing nanny :) We even decided to give her some spontaneous bath time, in hopes of seeing her sweet little grin. And I'm SO glad that we did. These lifestyle sessions are seriously some of my favorites. I can't WAIT to see this sweet pea in a couple of months!!

See you soon, Little Bits :)
