A letter to Alaina

Dear niece, I want to take a moment to remind you of the unwavering love and support that your parents and our family have for you. Our advice stems from a wealth of experience, and it is rooted in our genuine hope for your happiness and success. I have mentioned before how I see you excelling in life and your studies to become a cardiothoracic surgeon, and I believe that focusing on your education before entering into relationships will serve you well. You have a bright and promising future ahead, filled with countless opportunities, so I encourage you to remain dedicated and protect the path you are creating for yourself. You have a bright future ahead of you, filled with possibilities, so stay focused and protect that promising path. Love Aunt Michelle 🤍

Alaina 2026 High School Senior

Yesterday I had a wonderful time with a beautiful senior who’s very special to me. My niece Alaina.

We went to Lexington shopping for her outfits. Which is always a fun time for me because what girl doesn’t love to shop? I love to shop. We hit up Ross and Marshalls to pull the outfit together. She tried on several outfits. Here is a few.

Cute and would be perfect for a fall session.

Cute and we bought it for another session in the fall.
This blue jean romper was adorable on her and it was perfect for our vision.

After a super fun day of picking out the perfect outfit for our theme, it was time to head home and get her all dolled up! I may not be a pro at hair or makeup, but I gave it my best shot for Alaina’s look this session. You know what they say, “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline” — some people just have that natural beauty!

Yes we’re at the laundromat!!!

My mom took a pic of Alaina when she was an infant in the basket and ever since that day I’ve been wanting to do a remake of her as a senior. I wish my mom was still here to see how beautiful she is in that same old laundry mat seventeen years later.

Laundry mat still has these vintage rolling baskets
So many cool ideas here
Loving that vintage look

I hope you’ve enjoyed my post. Please leave a comment.

Yours truly Michelle 🤍

Senior class 2025 Harrison Co High: Preston

Tis the season for senior pictures! Fall is upon us, and I love capturing the essence of these young adults during their senior year.

I truly couldn’t decide what to share from Preston’s senior session. He knew exactly what he wanted, from the props to the locations, which made my job easier. Senior portraits should reflect who you are in the moment and what you love. If you’re unsure about what to wear for your senior pictures, choose something that makes you feel comfortable and represents “you.” Incorporate the places and things you enjoy, whether they’re related to sports, hobbies, or even farm equipment. That’s exactly what Preston did.

Preston had his senior session on a farm in Berry, which made me feel like a country girl at heart. Country sessions are definitely my vibe! His look included all the staples of a farm boy: plaid shirts, Wrangler denim, and, of course, some sturdy work boots.

Cynthiana/Lexington KY Newborn & Child Photographer |River’s Newborn Session

I had to wait 10 weeks to meet this cute little guy. He was due on Christmas Eve, but made his entrance into this world in October. After 8 weeks in the hospital River finally got to go home. He had a rough start and he did amazing at his session. He wasn’t much on all the posed shots. I stuck with the basket shots mostly for him. He loved being snuggled in my baskets with the most softest fur. He was cozy as a bug. I could have just kept him all day and snuggled. Please enjoy this sweet boys images and show him some love!
Sincerely Michelle

Fresh 48 Photography


Fresh 48
photography is a special session for those new families who want the first few hours of their newborn’s life captured without having the entire labor or birth documented. Held within the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s life, these lifestyle sessions are perfect for remembering that first day forever.  I will come to your place of birth within 48 hours.  This is not a traditional newborn session; I will not pose the baby or bring props or lights. This will just be me capturing your baby’s sweet new moments in a fresh natural way!

_MMP5584m capturing the little ones that are heading off to school for the first time. I loved hearing what they want to be when they grow up. I have decided to make this a yearly session since my little one started Preschool this year. I want to capture all of his milestones. I want to offer the same for others. Sweet memories to have for a lifetime.

Arianna Newborn Session

I had a model call on my Michelle Morgan Photography Facebook page in June. Arianna’s mommy had yet to find or schedule her newborn session. She contacted me about letting Arianna model for me. I was thrilled to have her come to the studio and dress her up in pretty little headbands, wrap her in colorful wraps, and the snuggles. It helps with the my baby fever. Please fill free to hit the like button or leave her a sweet comment. Thanks

Margo newborn

I have been MIA (missing in action) with my blogging. I know I shouldn’t let months go by. We all get caught up in everyday life that sometimes the hours, days, and even months slip by. Little Miss Margo came to see me last month all the way from Richmond KY. She was an absolute doll. Her mom wanted to add dads fire fighter gear and her crown she wore in their wedding. She was so precious in her mommy’s crown. A tiny princess already.
