[ one day ] a celebration of family

Melanie_mauer_lexington_photographer_one_day_session1 Melanie_mauer_lexington_photographer_one_day_session in our last newsletter we shared a peek at a new offering – [ one day ] a celebration of family – is a day long look at family life. a documentation of what an entire day holds: getting ready, lunch, going to the park, bubbles, baking cookies. making a record at various times in your life is hugely important. a series of these books will become an family treasure…a way of stitching together a few minutes from each hour to tell the story of love you have for one another. with affection, may i please present, a work that comes from my heart – a heart that finds families the most beautiful thing on earth.

see [ one day ] – the fenwicks

a huge thank you to the endlessly sweet fenwicks for their trust – i hope that by the end of this, you’ll fall in love with them like i did a few years ago when i walked beside them on the day they married. and perhaps you’ll also imagine a bit of what your [ one day ] would hold.

if you’re interested in something similar for your family, please let me know – we can do coverage in kentucky or perhaps at your vacation home late this summer/fall. our signature 1 hr sessions are almost completely full for summer so let us know soon if you’re up for a fun shoot at the state fair with games/bright colors behind you…maybe eating cotton candy? or we can find a peaceful park for a picnic! i hope my love for you and what we create is evident…it’s an incredibly happy life because of my association with you!

if you’re a client or prospective client and would like to receive our occasional notes, please sign up below…you have our promise that we won’t inundate you with mailings…just the occasional letter to say hi and let you know of news :) -m-
