The Flora Garden Care Center on Shadwell Street (behind No More Nicotine Club) is having a Haunted House Thursday evening from 6-8 p.m. and Friday evening from 6-8 p.m.   The Haunted House has been designed and sponsored by Nita and Rita Noblet as a fund raiser for the activities department of the nursing home.   This is not your regular, “Boo!” Haunted House.  This is one (empty) wing of the Nursing Home, a long Hallway of Horrors, with vignettes from just about every scary movie you’ve ever seen in every open doorway.

I don’t want to spoil the surprises, but here is a small sampling of some of the characters that await you at the Haunted House.

We held out for just the right weather for Mallori’s senior session, and got some dazzling results for our efforts.  Here’s one of my favorites from outside.

We had a beautiful day at the park for Chris and Lindsey’s engagement session.  Lindsey and Chris are fun to hang out with and easy to talk to.  They are both teachers.  Lindsey teaches Kindergarten, so I’m always picking her brain for tips on the management of the 5 year old crowd.

Zach and Kelsey are such a great couple and their reception was beyond beautiful.   I loved being a part of it.  Here’s wishing you two all the best!

I had the great pleasure to some time with Andrea and to take photographs for her new yoga studio in Salem, Illinois.  Here are a couple of my favorites.

My friend, Sam, a photographer (harnackphoto.com) came down to visit with her kids this past weekend.  We had a GREAT time!   Ada and Grace who are only a couple months apart in age ran around holding hands and calling themselves sisters, listing all the things they had in common.  “We both have BROWN EYES!”  Gasp!  “We’re both in Kindergarten!”  Gasp!  At one point when we were having a cookout down at the pond, the girls came up with their superhero names.  Ada was “Stone” and Grace was “Crystal.”  One girl shot lightning from her fingertips and one from her head, can’t remember who did what.

I have to wonder at what point people stop thrilling at the similarities between each of us and rejoicing at making new friends and start getting hung up on all of the crazy little differences between us.

Thomas helped the girls crack hickory nuts, which are surprsingly excellent this year.  And everyone got to play in the fire with sharp sticks and flaming marshmallows, which is one of the quickest ways to liven up a party with the under 7 crowd.  Lol.

Anyway, here’s Sam and her kids, aren’t they adorable?!  Thanks for making the trip to see us!  And come again soon!

I have so many pictures to post on the blog!  I better get with it!  Here’s one of my many favorites from Peri’s senior session. 

The Louisville Fall Festival Queen Contest is Friday, October 24th.   Looks like a great group of girls this year.

I had the pleasure of photographing this year’s Louisville Fall Festival Miss and Junior Miss Queen Candidates.  Here are the Junior Miss Candidates.

Taylor wanted to go to the train tracks for part of her senior session and get some photos with her boyfriend.  This is one of my favorites at the tracks with some textures.
