Computer Down for the Count

Elizabeth — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:53:27 +0000

Just a quick update. After thinking my computer was down for the count, the men at Mac Authority in St. Matthews got me all fixed up. I was reunited with my BFF, Mrs. iMac last night and am back to working on photo files and not the studio as of this morning.

Get pumped for updates. And as for the studio - it’s looking amazing. Floors came in yesterday. I can hardly wait to share the place with you all. Get excited!

Oliva’s in Town

Elizabeth — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:07:52 +0000

A dear friend always gets on me for forgetting to photograph my own life, so I’ve been trying to remember. And not just with my mind. And I’ve been doing pretty well.

My cousin Olivia has been in town for a few days and last night I took her riding on Cecil. This was one of my favorites - enjoy!

Horses Work For Kentucky

Elizabeth — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:22:51 +0000

Though I am not shy about sharing my opinion in person, I try to leave this blog as impartial as I can - most of the time. This issue is one that is so, very important to my family and won’t be getting the same, unbiased treatment. If you live in Kentucky you are surely affected by the horse racing industry, and I am sure you’ve heard it’s having a tough time. For the past couple weeks I have begun work on a project about how the racing industry affects everyone. I am looking for stories of small farms having a tough time making ends meet, of families who are moving to other states where gambling helps fuel the racing industry, for little groceries going out of business because their neighboring farms are, too. For all of you that fear the fall of the industry and how it will change our great commonwealth.

Though the slots bill has been stopped for a bit, I feel that it is important for me to document the struggles our neighbors and dear friends are facing. All this in hopes that putting a face on the industry’s fall will help to communicate to those on the other side of the issue just how important our horses are.

If you know of families, people, farms who are being affected by our state’s failing industry, I would love to meet them. Love to document them and tell their stories. Quiet for now, but I’m sure you will hear more about this from me. I was raised on a horse, fed by the efforts of many of them and my college scholarship came directly from horses racing and earning money. My business depends on friends and family; a whole community dependent on horses.

I hope that my love affair with horses will be able to last a long time. That I will be able to take my children and grandchildren riding at great barns where they will meet great people, as I have. That you and yours will continue to thrive because of the horse.

I hope that you will view these images from a rally last week and think about how your life and business would be different if the horse industry in Kentucky didn’t exist. Feel free to post comments about the changes. The conversation must continue.

Shelby County High School Graduation

Elizabeth — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:03:17 +0000

My little sister graduated from high school - it’s true…I’m old now - and another Lauer is off to college. I’m *so* jealous! Anywho, here are a few frames of my sister and her friends on their big day! Enjoy!

The super-fab SCHS Choir performs here - well the seniors anyway.

My super-cute sister on the way to the car. I LOVE her dress…very Sara.

At the after-party the school throws, Project Graduation, there was a photobooth from Louisville Photobooth.

Me and the sister. I tagged along with my Momma to volunteer for a bit….I ended up photographing the event and had lots*O*fun!

There were lots of games the kids could do - one option was simulated drunk driving. They strapped on goggles to make them ’see drunk’ and had to race a partner around cones with their fancy tri-cycle. Sara raced her friend, Kelsi here. I don’t think either of them finished the course without taking out cones. Drunk tri-cyling doesn’t pay :-)

You could also get ‘married’ for tickets. Quickest wedding I ever shot :-)

Thanks so much to all of you who supported Sara and I to our graduations :-) We’re lucky gals to have such sweet family and friends!

A sweet phone call

Elizabeth — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:24:32 +0000

This morning I spent some time at the capital building (more on this in the next post), but as soon as I left I got a phone call from my girls in Bowling Green. Click here for the story I spent much of my spring semester on. I fell in love with these little ladies and their silly phone call this morning was a welcome break to my serious day. I miss, miss, miss them and would do anything to be able to teleport myself there for a good singing of ‘Stanky Leg’ and a dancing like no one is watching to Hannah Montana’s Hoedown Throwdown. They’re the sweetest. Here a few photos I took after my project was complete.

Hannah Montana time…

Sweet Jacqueline’s birthday.
