Last year, I photographed Jackson, Kate, and Avery in Lexington. This year, we met at an empty farmhouse in Paris, KY for a change of pace. I’m so happy with how these turned out. Especially the tree-swing shots.

I can’t say it enough. My life is enriched by all the people I work with.

Kris and Molly—I’ll look forward to seeing you all again soon. You know I’m a fan of you two and the kids!

And this post would not be complete without mentioning that Kris is one heck of a dude to get a home loan through. His company Stockton Mortgage is doing quite well, and for good reason—their rates are low and their customer service is on-point. You can reach him HERE for your purchase and refi needs.

Thanks, you all, for stopping by! If you want to stay up-to-date on recent work and upcoming promotions, I’d love it if you’d connect with me HERE. Thanks! -shaun

I’m not outspoken about my beliefs. If I’m being honest, I’m not sure I could pin them down even if I wanted to.  But I do know this–Lighthouse Ministries is an organization here in Lexington that is actively changing lives. It’s for that reason that I donate a session each year to their silent auction. I would encourage each of you to consider getting involved, too.

It’s through that silent auction that I came to meet Karen, Aden, and twins Annalise and Lucy. Talk about a sweet family. I photographed them recently on an evening when the “feels like” temperature was somewhere over 100 degrees. Yikes. We had a great time, though. They even brought their own balloons as a surprise!

Thanks for stopping by, you all. If you haven’t already, you might also consider connecting with the Lighthouse through their Facebook page HERE. And you can stay in touch with me HERE and HERE. Talk to you later!  -shaun

If you already read THIS post, then you know that Katie, Carson and I are now proud owners of a sweet Cavalier named Cera—thanks to our friends Jordan, Tiffiney and George. We recently got the four puppies together with their mom and dad for a reunion/photoshoot in the studio. Thank you to everyone who came out to help, especially Jordan and Michael. Can you believe we got all six to pose at the same time? Here’s the whole crew:

From left to right: Rudy, Cera, Deitrich, Max (father), Lexie (mother) and Sprinkles

Each dog got a bit of solo time in a sweet midcentury Herman Miller chair I scored at Scout here in Lexington.

Mother Lexie.

Father Max. I love that little tongue.

Rudy.

Another of Rudy…couldn’t resist. This one is pretty awesome.

Deitrich. Too cool for school.

Sprinkles and her mama.

Love this shot of Sprinkles. Her eyes are so expressive!

I have a feeling this shot might be gracing the invitations to Sprinkles first birthday party. I. Am. So. There.

And our Cera.

Such a princess!

When I got my studio last year, I had no plans to photograph dogs. But life’s a funny thing. The studio is mainly being used for commercial photography, but I’m totally up for branching out a bit into this new niche. Bring out your pups!

If you’d like to stay up-to-date on the latest work and promotions with the studio, please feel free to hook up with me on the studio’s Facebook page. Keep in touch!
