Louisville Wedding Photographer – KL Puckett Photography – Kentucky Ky » Louisville Wedding Photographer, KL Puckett Photography specializes in artful wedding, engagement, family portraiture and event coverage in Louisville KY and the surrounding region.

I was totally thrilled not only to photograph my dear friends’ adorable baby, but it was also the first time I got to meet him, while he was visiting his grandparents in Shelbyville, KY.  Beth, Gabe, and Lex live in Brooklyn, so I have missed seeing them dearly for several years.  Lex is completely adorable, and just as beautiful as both of his parents.  We had so much fun doing this lifestyle session.  I love focusing on the relationship between family members, and capturing the love they share.  Their proof gallery was a mixture of black and white and color, but since my absolute favorite for this documentary style of photography is black and white, I am offering my blog selections as such.  (Perhaps in an effort to encourage others to have their sessions done completely in black and white as well).

Also, notice the new logo? I love it! I am transitioning my business name from KL Puckett Photography to KL Photography, and the new logo is part of my new branding.

Kimmie already knows how dear her family is to me and how much I love her boys! I had the hardest time choosing just 4 from the close-up series on little Alex. There are about a million, each with a different adorable expression.

So on with the pictures

I’ve got a ton of pics to share, so I’ll dispense with the words and get straight to it. Love you Amy!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly babies grow. I did a session with Landon and Kai’s big extended family when everyone gathered together over the Christmas holidays, and Kai was just a roly-poly little baby. We did another session of just her and her brother in June, and I couldn’t believe how much she had grown in just a few short months. She has turned into a toddler! Landon was just as handsome as ever, and quite a bit less camera shy than he was a few months ago. I’ve had the pleasure of watching Landon grow as well; several years ago when I was branching out on my own full time with the photo business, little baby Landon was one of my very first clients. I love being able to document how families grow and change through the years; it is one of my favorite things about what I do!

For comparison, here’s a picture of Kai from New Year’s day:

I just realized that it has been over a month since I’ve posted–hope somebody is still out there! For way too long, I have been neglecting my website in favor of posting new photos from each shoot on this blog. This past month or so, that trend has pretty much reversed–my new website is finally live!!! (well, it’s not finished, but IT’S LIVE!!) I’m still building the galleries and getting all the info up, but I figured that having an unfinished new website that more accurately reflects my current style was better than having a site up that reflected what I was doing, oh, about 3 years ago, ya know?

So I’ve definitely been keeping busy, even though I haven’t been active here. Along with the usual craziness, I had the most fabulous time last week at OSP Indy, a 3 day workshop in Indianapolis. OSP is the most amazing forum on the web, full of the most talented rockstar photographers in the country (and elsewhere!), who also happen to have the most incredible generous giving spirits I’ve ever come across. I owe so much to my friends there for how much my business has grown over the past couple of years, and also how I’ve grown, learned, and challenged myself as a photographer.

As an example of how wonderful these people are–I had a bit of an accident last night (understatement) and broke my workhorse lens–it fell on a brick floor out of my bag. And I’ve got a wedding this weekend. And Murphy’s has already rented their comparable lens for that day. And the repair shop has a 6-8 week backlog (#%$#%#!!). So as I’m considering what to do in a state of near panic, I posted for some opinions on OSP. Within minutes, I had so many responses and suggestions, and incredibly, 2 people who I’ve only “met” online offered to let me borrow their similar lens for my wedding this weekend. Does it get more amazing than that?? People are really, really good. Photographer people anyway Just kidding.

But anyway, thanks also to my good friend Ryan for listening to me wail about it today and chauffeuring me around town to camera shops to consider my options. Long story short, my fancy new lens will be here tomorrow, and my old lens will hopefully be fixed in 6-8 weeks (@#$@%#@$@#$!!!). I’m actually coming out ahead lens-wise, so all is well that ends well, as usual (although my pocketbook is a bit lighter…).

Enough chatter, on to some pictures! The following is just a sampling from what I shot in Indy. Man, what a blast we had! I heart my OSP peeps!!!

Oh, and GO CHECK OUT MY NEW WEBSITE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!! Comments always make my day

Yesterday was a beautiful winter day; not too cold, but there was still snow on the ground and the light was perfect in the morning. So I bundled the kids up and we went on a little walk around the neighborhood. We had a lot of fun exploring, listening to the birds, and running around in the snow (well, that part was Wesley, Connor and I wanted to stay dry).

First, here’s a couple pics of my little Valentines:

Alexander Xavier arrived in this world Sunday, December 2nd at 2:11 pm, weighing 7 lbs 11 oz, and 22 inches long (I think–Kimmie, correct me if I got it wrong). Mom and baby are doing great!

Here’s his first bath:

I was so happy to hear from Julie when she emailed me about doing some family pictures this fall. I was even happier to hear that they had an addition to their family! She and Jeff used to take care of my Wesley at their preschool when he was a baby and toddler while I was still teaching at Eminence. Good grief, how time flies!

We missed the light on our first attempt, but the second portrait session turned out to be the charm. We had a beautiful, crisp fall morning and the light was perfect. (It is an interesting contrast to note the “temperature” difference of the light–the group photo below where they were holding hands was taken in the evening at the first shoot. The morning light is so much warmer in the rest of them!)

I love how all the pictures turned out, but the real star of the show was lovely Liliah, the newest member of the family. She was so cute, running after her two big brothers. She was a bundle of energy for sure!

Jeff and Julie should be proud of such a beautiful family!
