Sketchbook: It’s Not Fair

Yes, you’re right. It’s not fair that momma Lynn has such beautiful daughters. I’m editing senior photos from the third one now and have already warned the fourth that she’s next.

SKETCHBOOK: Model Tall Senior

I met Molly a few years ago when I was doing senior portraits of her eldest sister, Abby. Even at that time, you could see how close the sisters are and what great personalities they had. They are all beautiful in their own ways and, as close as they are, they have different interests and their mother encourages them to go for it, whatever it is.

SKETCHBOOK: My Third Lockhart

A few years ago, I got a chance to work with Abby, then her sister Emily and on Sunday, third sister Molly. And each of those young ladies has been their own dream to work with. Mother Lynn has raised four incredible daughters, of which I have now done senior photos of the eldest three. I’m hoping to make photos of all four.

SKETCHBOOK: That Senior Twin

I know I’ve bragged about my senior portrait clients and how they’re the best. Justice here, the oldest twin from a couple of weeks ago, and I have tons in common. He’s a huge University of Louisville fan. That’s already a good thing. But he wanted some photos on campus as well. Imagine how much I was down for that.

SKETCHBOOK: Hannah on River Road

When we finished our photos in Waverly Park, we made the drive downtown to the river and specifically River Road. Of course, I didn’t remember about the Louder than Life festival so it took a little longer to get there than I had anticipated, but when we saw the photos we could make, it ended up being worth the delay.

SKETCHBOOK: Hannah Hangs with Juju

When we were doing senior portraits with Hannah, she wanted to make sure she got her baby in a few. Her baby is Juju, the other adorable female in the photograph above. They’re made for each other. Hannah is chill. Juju is all over the place. Hannah is good at taking posing suggestions. Juju, of course, was the opposite.

SKETCHBOOK: Hannah’s a Senior

One of my favorite genres of photography is the senior portrait, and not just because my son is a senior in high school. One of the things I find most attractive about that style of photography is the fact that you get to document kids becoming adults and the senior portrait is a right of passage. It’s one of those things like prom and graduation that marks the fact that you’re now considered a grownup.

SKETCHBOOK: Noah Says Hello

I already know what you’re thinking. Didn’t you do a photo of him yesterday? Well, that’s the thing with twins. Sometimes you can’t take a quick glance. People like to think that twins are alike and, aside from the obvious resemblance, that’s usually not true.

SKETCHBOOK: On the Waterfront

When I think about it, when we worked with Shelbie over the weekend, we ended up in more locations than I thought. I guess we were in the moment and wanting to make good photos. In fact, we were walking to a different location when I saw the mural on this wall and thought Shelbie would look gorgeous in front of it. As you can see, I was right.
