The last weekend in April is the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event that is attend by thousands from around the world. Scott and I make our annual trek to the Kentucky Horse Park located right here in Lexington for one of the finest equestrian events. My favorite event is the Cross-Country event.
This rider seemed relieved that he made the jump.
This was a terrible mishap that happened in front of us. The rider’s mount caught it’s hoof on the jump and caused a fall. Both horse and rider were fine but this did disqualify them from the rest of the event.
This is my favorite picture. This was a very difficult jump and this rider and horse were amazing.
I caught Scott taking pictures of me instead of the event.
Going through all of the photographs from the weekend has me already looking forward to next year’s event. I hope to see you there. Valorie
We met the Stewart’s at the Henry Clay Estate on a beautiful Kentucky fall day. This was our first family portrait session with them as they came to us by recommendation from a long standing customer (thanks, Tessa!). We all enjoyed walking the grounds of the estate and taking family photos that will be treasured forever. I must admit they are a wonderful family. My best, Valorie
I just love this kind of photograph, don’t you?
Helen and Caden come to the studio every year to do what takes many families years to do and that is to have a family portrait taken. We admire Helen’s commitment to her son, to have their memories captured and to be forever treasured by them both. Kind regards, Valorie
Having your senior portrait taken is a rite of passage for high school seniors. Thank you Rylee for letting us share this with you. Best wishes, Valorie
We love our fall days here in Kentucky and from these picture you can tell why. Scott met Andrew and his sister Elise on location for this great session. Andrew has been coming to us for a few years and this was our first time meeting his sister. They couldn’t be more cute together. Valorie
During the fall and the days leading up to Christmas we have the opportunity to photograph many families, children, seniors and weddings that we have time for little else. Scott and I love this time of year because we love meeting new people, it’s like making new friends, and we get to catch-up with customers we haven’t seen in a while. We are truly blessed to have a job that we get to be a part of so many families lives and to be fortunate to watch their children grow-up, photograph them through the years and then see them get married. So many of our clients are like our extended family. We are at our busiet during this time but it’s like having a family reunion every week leading up to Christmas. Now this is a job you can love! So let me show you what we’ve been up to. Valorie
It was a beautiful day to photograph Amber and Michael’s engagement sitting. I met them at Keeneland for a pure Kentucky feel to their photos. They were great to photograph which has me already looking forward to photographing them on their wedding day. Scott
We have been photographing Mckenzie since she was born and I believe this is my favorite sitting of hers. She expressed so much of her true personality. Of course, she had a good time playing with Scott as well. My best, Valorie
I’m not sure if the appeal for Grace and Jackson is getting their picture taken or getting to play with Scott. They both have had their picture taken at Studio Walz since they were born and they have always loved their time here. Scott loves the time he spends with them as well. We always try to keep our atmosphere fun for children and it always shows with Grace and Jackson. Thank you to their mother and grandmother who keep bringing them back. Kind regards, Valorie
There are those people in our lives that we admire for many reasons and Steve Palmer is one of those people. He has played an important role in my life whether he knows it or not. You see, he has been the Associate Pastor of my church, Second Presbyterian Church, for many years and has been there for many important times in my life. He is now retired and will be missed by many but particularly by me. I was honored to be asked to photograph Steve for a wall portrait that will hang in our church. I have chosen two pictures to show you, one that now hangs at Second Presbyterian Church and one that I gave him as a personal gift. My best to Steve and his family, Scott.
