• 2011 HS Senior: Karah

  Jonathan and I are so happy to feature our very first 2011 Monarch HS Senior!  We had a blast photographing Karah’s portrait session at her home and at Farnsley-Moremen Landing here in Louisville! We have known Karah ever since we photographed the wedding of her sister, Kelly!  Since then, we have loved keeping in touch with their family. We were so honored to be the studio to photograph Karah’s HS senior portraits!  She is so beautiful and full of laughter [...]

• 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 [...]

• A Specialty of Ours: Organized Wedding Day Portraits!

  I wanted to start a new weekly post on the Monarch blog–answering specific questions about how we work as trained, professional photographers.  So, here goes! It’s a given that we specialize in a combination of candids, details, and emotional, timeless portraiture for weddings, but let’s face it–the formal portraits can be a big time-user, but not with us!  We strive to make it a cinch for you and yours! We get asked all the time the two following questions: “How [...]

  Sorry–I have been neglecting my blogging duties lately! I have been in the lovely state of Nebraska for the past few days and we just returned last night!

• 2010 HS Senior: Ian

  We have had an awesome bunch of 2010 HS seniors come in for their portrait sessions over the past few weeks!  It has been a blast and we love photographing such incredible students.

  Today’s feature is all about our Italian hand-crafted wedding albums!  Love them so much and we are the only studio in our area to offer this particular album! Clients choose their own images to go into their keepsake album and they can choose from dozens and dozens of cover styles!  The albums also have seamless pages, so there is no cut in the middle of the album pages like other studios offer! This album is Tiffany and Mark’s and I [...]

• Louisville Wedding: Courtney and Jamie

  Well, it is rainy and dreary here in Louisville, so I thought I would post a super-fun and summery wedding from last season to make today cheery and colorful! We had an absolute BLAST with Courtney and Jamie, from their engagement images (we did everything from play on the playground to run around the orchard at Huber’s) to their perfect wedding day! Jamie is a musician and Courtney teaches elementary school–they are the most hilarious, loving, good-natured people I have [...]

• Weddings: Proof Presentation and Special Products!

  Today, I wanted to focus on the awesome way we present our wedding images to our Monarch couples! ALL of our wedding couples receive their wedding images BOTH in a wonderful paper proof presentation, as well as a full gallery of online proofing!  We do both because we want our couples to have a full set of proofs to share with family and friends in person–isn’t that better than just sitting around a computer and clicking on images?  But we [...]
