THE KWP BLOG

Oh my goodness, if you need something to make you smile, this is it! I debated whether I would share these on the blog or not, because newborn sessions are not something I plan to do often… but these are just too precious not to share. Luke and Lauren, you two have the most beautiful […]

One of the very cool but also very nerve-racking aspects of being a wedding photographer is building relationships with people from all different circles of life. This is one of my favorite parts, but it can be difficult as well because when a future bride with little mutual friends sends an inquiry, it is so […]

Aleksus Mays is such a beautiful dancer! When she’s not spending her time at the studio, she is also pursuing cheerleading! It is easy to see that she is very hardworking, and is going to do great things. In addition to her training at Beckley Dance Theater, she travelled to the Cary Ballet Conservatory, WVU […]

Carsyn Harris is another gorgeous dancer training at Beckley Dance Theater. I gave the girls a few examples of what would look best for their ballet portraits, but I did not provide anything. Carsyn showed up with the most beautiful flower crowns that she and her sister handmade!! I am so glad she did because […]

After weeks of cold and gloomy weather, I finally saw a warmer sunny day on the forecast and knew I had to take advantage of it! I am SO glad Mariah convinced her boyfriend Alex to get some photos done, because these two are the cutest and we had a beautiful day! Alex + Mariah […]

Caleb and Jac are two of those people that just make you happy being around them. They are both so full of joy and easy going. I knew they would be perfect for an adventurous session like this, and when I suggested Pinnacle Rock to Jac of course she agreed! In the first few minutes […]

Sydney Clyburn is genuinely beautiful, inside and out! I had vision for a snowy bridal portrait session and she so kindly volunteered to model for it in her stunning gown. It was 9 degrees outside when we took these in a church parking lot, but they turned out so magical! For those of you DIY […]
