I had the opportunity to photograph a Surprise Birthday Party for Anne at Asiatique- concocted by her husband and organized and put together by a new louisville event planner – Elizabeth Truman who did a FABulous job. The whole night was just perfect…. I loved the atmosphere and the food was A-Mazing!!! I was so honored to photograph the party for Anne and Charlie – such great people and all their friends were so much fun. Everyone came early and gathered in a small room. Charlie kept everyone updated with texts – right before she arrived everyone got quiet and then SURPRISE!!!! SHE WAS SOOO SURPRISED

What an awesome gift from her husband who planned this wonderful event with Elizabeth Truman – look at all the fabulous decor that helped create the perfect atmosphere for the big event:)


Everyone at the party had one of these yummy drinks: a Strawberry Peach Bellini in honor of the birthday girl.


Lots of great friends and yummy food with an awesome atmosphere made for a wonderful event and surprise.

Seriously.. this food was amazing. I had salmon and it was so good!!! Anytime the chef comes out and you get to applaud him.. you know you are in for a treat :)

here is my favorite picture of Anne – near the end of the night. All of her friends and family around – she just looks completely content and happy. I think it shows how much this night meant to her and how much all these people mean to her.

Thanks for letting me be your photographer for the night!! I had so much fun!!

Who doesn’t love a weekend with the girls?!! This past weekend, i went to a women’s retreat at Kavanaugh Retreat Center right outside of Louisville, KY. I must admit it was great to unplug from cell and internet and just laugh and eat and enjoy the company of other women. There were women from all walks of life – grandmothers to college students. After sharing, laughing and crying together – I have bonded with all these women. I have such a deep gratitude and appreciation for the privilege of knowing their stories and the opportunity to share mine as well. I just can’t say enough about this little retreat at Kavanaugh. Women at the Cross put all of this together.. they have retreats in Louisville, Colorado and soon to be Alabama. I would recommend anyone to sign up!!! I just thought you would like to meet some of the amazing -truly authentic -women that impacted my life this weekend.
We were so busy that i didn’t get a lot of time to take photos (although they did ask me to do all the group photography) – I was able to get away for about 5 minutes to take these photos around Kavanaugh Retreat Center.


I spent the little time i had to play with photography, looking for signs of life admist the deadness of winter. Here is a sign that there is life in this broken dark branch. GREEN :) which is also my favorite color.

And for the WATC ladies: One of the common sayings for the weekend.. just click and download.. it is yours to use however you like :)

This past weekend was the first event for Lazy Z fishing.. a non-profit that my family started to honor my grandpa and teach kids who wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn how to fish. You may remember the whole story from a previous post. We had about 15 kids come out to learn to fish and they had a blast. I am the official event photographer for the family. That is what happens when a there is professional wedding photographer in the family. Ha – but i love it!! Ryland Lakes graciously allowed Lazy Z to use their facilities. With beautiful outdoor scenery like lakes and rolling hills, it was perfect for some outdoor photography. We had so much fun. Here are some of the event pictures.
