We’re excited to finally be able to share our redesigned studio with everyone. We completed renovations in January and are beyond happy with the results. Most importantly we gained a dedicated dressing room for clients to prepare for shoots in a warm and cozy space. Since then we’ve not really been able to use the space, so our timing could not have been worse!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our nation, and most importantly our local families & businesses struggling during these unprecedented times. As we reopen our studio for appointments on June 1st we want all of our clients and patrons to know that we will be adhering to strict all of Kentucky’s Healthy at Work guidelines for safety. As a business operating on a by appointment only, you can count on us to provide you with a safe environment during your session.

The Concept /

Photography is more than just the snap of a shutter. While execution is important, concept and planning are even more crucial. For this shoot, which became a part of our senior portrait advertising portfolio, we wanted to create a portfolio of photographs that were bright, airy, summery, and fun—images that fully reflect the feel of that first summer after graduating high school!

It was the perfect opportunity to showcase local fashion designer Roby Joe who styled the wardrobe, and we worked with makeup artist, Erin Hendley with FACE Makeup Artistry. Part of our pre-planning was to strike an aesthetic balance to meet each of the artists’ goals. Then, we had to carefully calculate what we needed to shoot and how it would ultimately come together in the final portrait of Ellie Brower.

I love it when we have the opportunity to work on photography projects with planning and a budget to create the shoot! Where we can develop a concept, building an idea from scratch. We teamed up with local Western Kentucky fashion designer Roby Joe for the styling and wardrobe, alongside Erin Hendley with FACE Makeup Artistry for Makeup. Our goal was to make a portfolio of advertising images for senior portrait photography, showcasing Roby Joe's clothing line. One of my favorite parts of this project was balancing the aesthetics to meet each artists goals! Scroll down for 'How it Was Made.'
