Things Hoped For Photography

Things Hoped For Photography Jason + Shelly. We love having front row seats to the things you’ve been hoping for. “Photography is a love affair with life.” (Burk Uzzle, 1938)

He’s Jason.

She’s Shelly. He’s coffee and the mountains. She’s sweet tea and the beach. They’re high-school sweethearts, married for 25 years. Blessed with 3 kids, all girls. Add the miniature Yorkie who thinks she’s Queen of the Manor and you’ve got the Hardin family. Shelly loves taking photos of people, especially natural, candid moments when her subjects don’t even realize her camera is clicking. Jason lo

ves shooting just about everything, especially if it involves a long walk in the woods. Together, they make a pretty good team. This is where they share return tickets to ordinary days and extraordinary moments. Thanks for stopping by. We’d love to connect on Facebook and Instagram. Questions about a possible photo session? Our aim is always to keep it easy and stress-free. Let’s talk!

It was our pleasure to spend a beautiful evening bouncing with Napoleon all over Louisville and New Albany. He’s a fantastic young man who brightens the day of everyone he comes in contact with and we know he’ll do great things as he graduates from high school. Many more of our favorites here:

The Delker family made it easy to enjoy a cozy, carefree Winter evening outdoors. Their love for each other couldn’t have been more apparent. It was our pleasure to just follow them around, watch them be themselves, and capture some priceless family moments in the process.
