LIVE LAUGH LOVE...The Russell Family Part 1

Okay...it's Thanksgiving so I might as well begin with what I am thankful for.  I am thankful for clients.  I am thankful for my partner, Cindy.  I am thankful that a tiny idea of a business in this has turned into something big.  I am thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know this fun family better.  I am thankful they are patient as my little one and her cast has not been.  I am thankful I have a husband cooking the bird and sides when I wake up since it is after 4 am and I'm trying my hardest to keep my eyelids open long enough to get this darn post up.  I could go on and on, but I won't.  I need the sleep so roll with me here. :-)  

These guys had to be the most easy going family I have shot to date.  The kids were so sweet and Jessica & Street were hilarious!  I always knew Jessica was a pretty funny gal from what little I knew of her, but her husband is a REAL jokester. :-D  Seriously.  He is a stand up comedian and he kept us all laughing throughout the session pretty good.  While the family session was actually inspired by the littlest guy (Street Jr.), this day was mostly about family.  I went back the next day and shot little Street and will post that session on another day (soon, I promise!).  I loved being around such a fun and comfortable family.  It all starts with the love of a mother and father.  They are truly each others best friends.  They are so comfortable together and totally "get" each other.  They are two peas in a pod.  My favorite images from this session are...well, I bet you can guess!    

I'll be posting Part 2 (Street Jr) after the Holiday sometime soon. 


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

The Clifford Family

This is Kassi Clifford and her amazing little family!!!  She is my partner in crime (as far as photography goes).  We have had so many wonderful experiences in our photography journey together.  This is one of my favorite 'Urban' shots that we took in downtown  Louisville.  This family shoot was actually a two day event.  One day we shot fall photos by an old house in Crestwood and then the next day we headed downtown for a Hard Kandy shoot.  They turned out great!

 Look at that cast...it totally matches Tori's outfit...what a great mom coodinate her outfit to match her cast.LOL!!!:)

Look at that adorable family...expecially Tori in her cast!  She really was a great sport as we went around taking photos. 

Va Va Vixens!

I had the opportunity to shoot Louisville's one and only Burlesque troop, the "Va Va Vixens" all over downtown Louisville as a promo for their "Va Va Vintage show", performing NOW. For those of you who don't know what Burlesque is...think "Moulin Rouge"...there is also another flick called "Burlesque" that will be in theaters this Thanksgiving.  Here is a review of the show by Leo magazine if you want to know more about the show and yet another by the Courier Journal.  The ladies were so much fun and total hotties---  oh, and the "suits" at the 4th Street Live shoot were a hoot! ;-D

 Good Luck with the show gals!

This weekend is the last weekend to catch the show!  Thanks for the fun shoot :-)  To see more of their shoot, click here.

Griffin

This is Griffin! He is almost 3 and full of energy. He was pretty shy in the beginning, but he warmed up to me quickly. We played on the slides and I ran around following his every move. What a doll!

Griffin really enjoys his John Deere ride! This was one of our main reasons for the shoot!

The Davis Family

Okay, what can I say, I know this family very well. It's Cindy (the other half of Kandy Pop Photography) and her family!  :-)  And this is the second time I shot them.  So while this should have been an easy session for me, it wasn't.  The lighting was difficult and daylight savings really didn't save me any daylight.  It didn't help that it was extremely shady location.  :-(  It turned out to be a pretty short session, but I think we accomplished the goal of getting them some fall pictures to compliment their spring session I shot earlier this year.  Luckily Cindy and her family are gorgeous, so I don't have to work hard to make them look their best.  I hope you love them, Cindy.  I cherish our friendship and love that we have gone on this photography journey together.  I can't wait for you to take our family portraits next!  Enjoy!

 

BTW:  I never knew Troy was such a CLOWN!  Like HALF of my shots had him making funny faces, LOL.  I didn't even notice it when I was shooting....I'm usually watching the little ones in my viewfinder for misbehavin, not the daddies, hehe, so you can imagine my surprise when I would see a gorgeous image of all the Davis family and then a face like this on Troy....

hehehehe...it's all good...funny stuff, Troy...I'll be looking out for you next time on that one, LOL.  But his humor worked well with the kiddos and I just loved this shot of all of them wondering what the heck he was doing.  :-)  So cute!  What a FUN family!

Kim

This is one of my Best friends Kim!

We had so much fun taking these photo's especially knowing how much Rob would love them!

We got together and took some very cool shots of her on her husbands newly renovated Harley bike. This was all to be a surprise for Rob. We had to sneak over to the bike shop, sweet talk the owner and then take the 'not so finished bike' and take photo's of it...and Kim :).
