Heather | Lexington Fashion Photographer

It's been such a very long time since I've updated my blog. I hate it when life gets in the way of everything I want to do. But FOUR MONTHS is just way too long and I've no really solid excuses. I hope to begin updating things a couple of times per month, as well as to get a little more in-depth with questions and answers, post-processing techniques and more.

With all of that said, I'm so excited to share a little bit about my most recent session with the stunning Heather. Heather and I have known "of'" one another for years, having graduated from the same high school and sharing a few mutual friends. It wasn't until a few months ago that I came to her about working together. While we were both excited about the idea, the stars apparently weren't aligned. She was living in Florida for school and my life was hectic (in fact, I can remember email her from my hotel room as I was out of town for a business trip). All of those months passed without our paths crossing. A few weeks ago, though, Heather informed me that she was traveling back to Kentucky for the Holidays and the planning began!

While the end of December is never an ideal time for any outdoor photographer, sometimes we're faced with a decision; be cold or be without our craft. Needless to say, I chose my camera over the safety of my fingertips. Heather was such a good sport as well, wearing next to nothing (but looking fabulous, despite the cold).

Things just sort of fell into place for this shoot. The outfits weren't planned until the night before, the hair was pulled together be yours truly and the makeup applied by Heather. But for some reason, it totally worked.

We went for a more dreamy, storybook feel for these shots. Something a bit romantic. Believe it or not, these we actually shot at a tiny neighborhood park about thirty seconds from my house. It doesn't look like much, but it photographs as though it's in the middle of a forest.

I've always wanted to bring an animal into a shoot, so we decided to start small. Literally. Fufanu is my little Pomeranian (one of four dogs), although I seem to think he looks more like a fox. He was such a good sport for these. However, I made the mistake of ignoring he while we snapped a few more, and before I knew it, he had disappeared. It took about an hour for him to return. Lesson learned. Dogs need leases. Duh. 

I had a total blast getting to know Heather as well. She is one of the sweetest and most easy-going girls I've ever met. Not to mention the fact that she's absolutely stunning. I mean, gorgeous! I can't wait to work with her again. 

I hope you guys enjoy these. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Thanks for stopping by!
