Some sessions just shine—not just because of the light, but because of the people in it. Kenia + Carlos’ engagement session at Norton Commons in Louisville, KY was one of those unforgettable evenings where everything came together perfectly. The golden hour glow, the laughter, the effortless connection—this session was simply magic.
Norton Commons was the perfect setting for Kenia + Carlos. The charming homes, quiet streets, and soft evening light set a relaxed and romantic tone for the evening. As the sun dipped low, it wrapped the couple in a golden glow that added something truly special to every photo.
At the beginning of every session, I usually tell my couples it’s totally normal to take about 20 minutes to settle in and feel comfortable in front of the camera. But Carlos surprised me with the sweetest comment:
“You told us at the beginning that it’s normal for it to take about 20 minutes to warm up and feel comfortable. But it really only took about 30 seconds, it felt so natural!”
And truly, it showed. From the very start, Kenia + Carlos laughed together, snuggled in close, and moved with an ease that made my job so joyful.
While this was an “engagement session,” Kenia + Carlos have actually been legally married for a while now. But this summer, they’re heading to Mexico for a religious ceremony and a long-awaited celebration with family and friends. What a beautiful way to honor their love and heritage!
Spending time with Kenia + Carlos left me with such a full heart. Their connection is warm, playful, and genuine—and being able to capture this season of their story was an honor. I cannot wait to see photos from their summer wedding in Mexico, surrounded by those they love most.
Kenia + Carlos, thank you for trusting me with these memories. You two are a joy!
