Audrey and Jessika [family] | MHP Louisville Portrait Photographer

I have known this adorable coupe since high school and it is such a joy to be able to watch and photographer their little family as they grow.  This was Jessika's first photo shoot at just a few months old and Audrey is a seasoned professional.  They both rocked this shoot at Brown Park and did so well that our session spilled over into a mini-session at Homemade Pie and Ice Cream.  And if you know anything about me, I simply cannot turn down ice cream :) Enjoy!

Randi and family [maternity] | MHP Louisville Portrait Photographer

This past weekend was a blast and started with this adorable family. Randi is waiting for her second bundle of joy to arrive and big sister Addison couldn't be more excited.

Swag

"I can't wait til I get you on the floor, good-looking
Going out so hot, just like an oven
And I'll burn myself, but just had to touch it
It's so fly and it's all mine" - JT says it best...

Peyton & Ella [4 months] | MHP Louisville, KY Portrait Photographer

Natural is Beautiful | MHP Louisville, Ky Portrait Photographer

As much as I would like to say the title means us girls don't have to put on make-up or shave our legs to be beautiful, that is not quite the status quo I am discussing today. The natural beauty I am talking about is the Smile. I had a smile sign suprise me the other day. You know the one that just says Smile! with a squigly underneath? It was writen someplace strange like the garbage can or a public restroom. Caught me completely by surprise and I actually did smile.

The most beautiful of smiles, to me, is the one right after tears. But as I hope to never make (or cause, I suppose) anyone over the age of 5 cry at any photo shoot, we will have to settle for the second best...

The belly laugh.

It is the real stuff. The one where only your family and friends can call it up in an instant. Those are what I live (and shoot) for. They make my life complete. No matter what has to be said to get the laugh that touches the eyes, I am all for it. There is a reason photos don't have sound. We can keep the slightly off-color jokes or talk about boogies out of the photo and off grandma's wall. No one has to know. It will be our little secret.

All hail the belly laugh.
