• Amore’ Album: Ashley and Parker

  Since I posted Ashley and Parker’s wedding images yesterday, I thought it would be great to see how their images ended up in their Italian-Bound wedding album! We encourage our couples to choose the images that will go into their album and then I design the pages with their tastes and personalities in mind.  Of course, they have final approval!  It works beautifully! These albums are just so yummy.  Ashley and Parker chose the soft ivory leather cover with the [...]

• Anniversary: Ashley and Parker

  YAY!  It is so nice to start off the week with Happy Anniversary wishes!  We wanted to wish Ashley and Parker a lovely one-year anniversary!  They had the most beautiful wedding day full of classic details and perfect traditions! It was blazing hot for their outdoor reception, but the party was awesome and everyone had an incredible time–us included!  So, congrats to Ashley and Parker!  We wish you years and years of wedded bliss! We loved their rich, classic details–they [...]

• HS Senior: Nicole

  WOW!  That’s really all I can say about Nicole’s session–she is just lovely with a sharp wit and a wonderfully playful personality!  And we want to wish her the best as she heads off to college this fall!  She is certainly going to have a bright future ahead of her! We spent some time both in-studio and at our little creek and portrait park and it was perfect weather!  We take plenty of time with our HS seniors to give [...]

• Wedding: Emily and Richelin

  I posted a sneak peek earlier (their wedding was a few months ago), but I also wanted to really feature Emily and Richelin’s lovely wedding at Frazier Arms Historical Museum in lovely downtown Louisville!  They had a small, intimate wedding with their families and friends.  They have a great story, too–Richelin’s family lives in Haiti and the earthquake tragedy prevented Richelin’s parents and some siblings from coming to the wedding.  Luckily, Richelin’s sister, Beatrice, lives in the US and she [...]

• Katie and Travis’ Engagement Session Sneak Peek!

  Katie and Travis have been so patient waiting for their engagement session images, so I wanted to showcase just a few of my favorites to give them a little tease before they pick up their proofs! We had a blast with their session at our local nature preserve and I love the carefree, fun, romantic images we captured for them! There are a ton of them that I could post, but here are just a few to feature this morning!  [...]

• Shannon and Jared: Wedding Sneak Peek

  Oh, things have been so incredibly busy here at the Monarch Home Studio–from summer photography seminars to engagement sessions to lots of album designs, I have hardly had any time to share some of the fabulous images we got at Shannon and Jared’s lovely garden wedding! On Saturday, June 12, everyone braved the heat and humidity to celebrate the love of Shannon and Jared, who had their wedding day at the glorious Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood.  This is the [...]

• HS Senior: Hunter

  As I wind down on our 2010 HS Senior portrait highlights, I wanted to invite our 2011 graduating class to choose our studio for their senior portraits as well!  We take great pride in giving a variety of images, ranging from classic to edgy and editorial.  So become a Monarch senior this year! Hunter came in for his 2010 HS senior portraits–he just graduated from YPAS and is a really cool guy.  He works in technical theatre, loves collecting swords [...]

• HS Senior: Jonathan

  I still have a few 2010 HS seniors to feature, along with a ton of weddings, families, and engagements!  So keep checking for many blog posts coming up over the summer months! Today, I wanted to feature 2010 graduate Jonathan–he is a talented student and even an accomplished competitive ballroom dancer!  While photographer Jonathan was re-setting the studio lights, HS senior Jonathan took me (Rosemary) for a small turn on the studio floor!  What a talent! We did everything super-simple [...]

• Amore’ Album: Brittany and Dave

  I wanted to share another great Italian-Bound wedding album with our blog readers!  This is from Brittany and Dave’s bright and colorful wedding and we love it! No templates.  No similar albums.  All unique and just for you.
