KV BIJOU GIVEAWAY!

who is KV BIJOU you ask?  

KV BIJOU began in 2009 when Kelsey Vanderhorst left a full-time career to design a unique and personal jewellery collection. As an artist, she was never satisfied with mass produced items, rarely finding pieces that matched her taste. Since she was regularly asked where she purchased her own designs, Kelsey opened KV BIJOU to marked success. Her company name reflects the vision of her business by connecting her initials, KV, and the French word for a small, exquisite trinket, bijou.

Most recently, KV BIJOU was responsible for a majority of the jewellery worn by Ali Fedotowsky on the sixth season of ABC's The Bachelorette and was featured on Ashley Herbert during the seventh season. KV BIJOU jewellery is regularly spotted on shows such as: Hart of Dixie, 90210, Pretty Little Liars, Dancing with The Stars and Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

KV BIJOU's  work has also been noticed internationally and by other celebrity clientele like: Kourtney Kardashian, Helen Hunt, Reba McEntire, Jillian Harris, Audrina Patridge, Martina McBride, Kortney Wilson, Terri Clark, Shar Jackson, Anna Sopha Robb, Dawn Chubai, Fiona Forbes, Jenni Pulos and Kaycee Stroh.

amazing jewelry giveaway!!  check out: facebook.com/KV.BIJOU  for more information!

Char and Brian {Surprise Wedding}

Char and Brian contacted me back in April for their May wedding.  This was just going to be the 3 of us heading downtown to the courthouse and then out for a fun shoot.  I have to say it was very fun! It was an extremely hott day (i see a trend in ohio this year) and we finally found one another around the building-headed into the wrong building- finally found the room and TA DA within 6 mins they were married :)
We then decided to hit OTR and downtown spots before going to pick up their beloved dog to do some park shots in their backyard!
Even if you go to the courthouse and don't have a big shin-dig, its still always great to capture those moments! 
Enjoy!

Mike and Lauren {he put a ring on it}

Lauren and Mike found out about me from another brides mother- I love when moms talk :)  its so fun to get to know groups of people and friends as we get older!  Lauren and Mike met me one day in Hamilton to shoot their engagement portraits.  It was so much fun!  Lauren is absolutely stunning- I can't get over her blue eyes! Mike just has that super awesome smile that makes you smile too!  They are so cute and I'm so glad that they were willing to do just about anything.  Even go into a dirty old parking garage that Mike used to park in when he went to the YMCA *he had to pay to park there* about 7 years into it someone told him about the YMCA validating his parking so he wouldn't have to pay- we can thank Mike for keeping the streets looking nice with all of that money he spent going to the Y :) hahaa!!!
I am super excited for their wedding in Aug- it will be here before you know it!!

Raegan 6 Month Photos!

I love capturing the sweet little smiles :) 

Alex & Luke (Military Love)

I have a special place in my heart for those who are able to have long distance relationships when the loved one is in the military!  I couldn't imagine having to be away from my husband like that!  Kudos to all of you military families!

Alex is a photographer in Kentucky and she works with me shooting weddings.  She is so much fun- first wedding we did together we got asked if we were sisters.  I feel like she could be a sister she and I have so much fun together.

Luke and Alex are getting married in the beautiful state of Florida at the Sandbar Restaurant in Anna Maria Island.   I was lucky enough to scout out the area this past March when I was down there and got to see a wedding take place at the Sandbar.  They are going to have the most beautiful sunset ever! 

Congratulations to you two :)
