Shelbyville, KY Photographer

About Me

I'm a Shelbyville, KY photographer, that services the Louisville and Lexington areas as well! As a KY native, it's only fitting that my favorite drinks are Sweet Tea & Kentucky Bourbon!

My love for gymnastics started at age 3 and I retired at age 15. Since then, I've competed in several bodybuilding shows and have placed top 5 each time.

When I'm not photographing couples or families in Kentucky, I'm off traveling the world with my amazing husband. Next big adventure, South Africa!

When it comes to ice cream, there's really only one flavor. Cookies and Cream.

Being a photographer means lots of longs nights editing. But you can bet that I'm binge watching Netflix on my days off! I'm also always looking for a new series. What's your favorite to watch?

5

Are you looking to feel like a Disney princess in your photos? I'm obsessed with all things Disney, so if you need a trivia partner or magical photographer, I'm your person!

I'm an animal lover, but my  two rescue dogs are my life!  If you're ever wondering if I'd be ok with your fur (or feather) baby crashing the shoot, the answer is almost always YES!

The mountains are beautiful, the desert has it's charm, but the beach is what really calls to me. The sandy cheeks, windblown hair, perfect sunsets... What more could one ask for?!

8

If you're the adventurous type, I'm not afraid to get my hiking boots on, throw on my camera bag and trail your favorite spot to get to that picture-perfect backdrop!

There's just something about the holidays that give me the warm and fuzzies. That's why Thanksgiving is my favorite! Nothing better than the smell of pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes, and trust me, I can eat my bodyweight in both.
