Black Lives Matter
The whole world has changed since the last time we wrote, and before we go on posting about what’s been going on in our household, I wanted to state as plainly and obviously as I can that Black lives matter. Like so many others over the last month, we have been reading, listening, learning, and…

Before and After: Three New Doors!
Ok, so we can’t DIY EVERYTHING that our house needs. Just like these projects back in 2017, there are a few things around the house that we needed to contract out to the professionals. This year we had a company come in and insulate / ventilate our house so that we have proper air flow…

Bernheim Forest in the Fall
Javier’s mom and sister are in town from Chile for three whole weeks! We’ve been packing in all kinds of fall and Halloween fun these last few days, including Boo at the Zoo, a trip down Hillcrest Avenue (the most decorated street in Louisville), and a drive out to Bernheim Forest to see the beautiful…

Aura Aura portrait
I just posted this story on my instagram account but thought it would be fun to share with everyone. If you’ve never heard of Aura Aura, check out their website to learn more about the process and read over the color guide while you’re there. My friend Liz treated me to my portrait and it…

Visiting the Bernheim Forest Giants
It’s a long weekend for Javi and it’s been a good while since we’ve been on an adventure outside of our 15-min driving radius, so we decided to take a trip to Bernheim Forest and check out the Forest Giants! We didn’t do much research before going…we heard it was best to visit before 11…

End of Summer Adventures
Last year I was 36 weeks pregnant with Penny when we went to the KY State Fair…5 weeks away from her birth. We took this photo… El año pasado 36 semanas de embarazo con Penny cuando fuimos a la Feria de Kentucky…a 5 semanas de su nacimiento. Sacamos esta foto… And we decided to re-take…

Taylorsville Lake
Every summer we look forward to frequent trips out on Taylorsville Lake with Marian and Stephen on their boat Water Music. Last June I had a pretty big baby bump on the boat…this year that lil baby was decked out in a super cool baby life jacket ready for her first dip in the lake! She…

Lately: Photos and Weddings
**photo session giveaway details at the end!** Wedding season is officially underway and I’m currently booking for 2019! I love shooting these crazy events full of love, happy people, and sweet details. I’m such a sap. This is my first wedding season since I joined Humming House in 2013…I had to give up weddings for…

Derby 2018 Pt. 2
On Derby morning I did a quick photo session with Corinne and her group of friends from law school before they headed off to Churchill Downs. It would be so much fun to shoot a Derby-themed wedding…all of the fashion and colors and hats and mint juleps. Or maybe I just need to book a…

Derby 2018 pt.1
Happy Derby! It’s been so crazy around here with Derby season, wedding season picking up in my photography world, spring landscaping and gardening, and on top of everything Penny is teething so we are surviving on minimal sleep. On Thursday night we went to Javier’s company’s annual Derby party at the Kentucky Derby Museum and…

Leftover Winter
Last Wednesday morning we woke up to a blanket of soft, fresh snow – the most snow I’ve seen in years. I couldn’t pass up the chance to get plenty of photos, especially while my mom and grandma were in town visiting. As soon as P woke up from her nap we bundled her up…

More Weekends like This
Last weekend was damn near perfect, freezing temperatures and limited outdoor time notwithstanding. After several days cooped up in our house thanks to the cold weather, we ventured out on Friday night for the opening of D.O.P.E. (Dreaming of Patterns Everyday) at Revelry Boutique Gallery. I’ve been doing pop ups there with my shop on…

Fall Photo Madness
It’s been a beautiful fall for photography, and I lucked out working with some amazing families in Louisville and Nashville! One of my favorite perks of doing family sessions is getting to see how families grow and change year after year. Kids growing up, new additions to the family – it’s such a privilege to…

Just the Two of Us
Javi and I are taking full advantage of the time we have left together as a family of 2 (plus three dogs) before Penelope arrives. Everyone has warned us (and warned us…and warned us…and told us….and reiterated to us…) that we won’t get out as a couple for a while after our little bundle o’ joy arrives,…

Flea Markets and Pop Ups
It’s been a really fun couple of months in my shop! Who could have predicted that the most proactive and productive days so far in the life of Buena Buena Vintage would fall during my third trimester of pregnancy? I have been wanting to participate in the Flea Off Market with my shop since last…

Good Neighbors and Tasty Crepes
I just have to drop a line and brag on my neighborhood for a quick second. I *love* our new street. Living near good, friendly people makes a big difference for me when it comes to feeling like I live in a house vs. a home (shoutout to our Nashville neighbors Kari and Colin –…

A Penelope Shower
I cannot believe it’s July. I cannot believe I only have two months until Penelope arrives. I am a fairly impatient person and I love instant gratification, so I always figured that pregnancy for me would feel like the longest 9 months of my life. But 2017 has flown by – we are over halfway…

Monnik Beer Company and Louisville City FC
Javier and I are finally expanding our food & beverage horizons in Louisville. Last year we found a handful of go-to favorite spots (Vietnam Kitchen, Third Turn Brewery, Oishii Sushi, Havana Rumba, Mussel Burger Bar) and stuck to what we knew was good. Then we stopped going out to eat for awhile; sitting in a restaurant during…

New digs in Louisville!
It’s safe to say it’s been the craziest roller coaster of a year ever for me and Javier. In January we found out we were pregnant, in February we listed our Nashville house and in March finalized that sale, in April we put an offer on a new house in Louisville and listed our current Louisville house for…
