Orie Family Portraits, Broad Run Park, Louisville, KY

I cannot find the words to express how much I love this family. I met Dane and Clare about ten years ago when they served as interns in Saint Meinrad’s “One Bread, One Cup” program. Although they interned in different years, they met at an intern reunion and began dating. When they became engaged, I was thrilled that they asked me to be their photographer. Their wedding remains one of my favorites to this day, filled with sweet moments—and everyone danced at the reception! —check out photos of the sweet moves here!

A couple years later, I received a project grant from the Indiana Arts Commission and was looking for families to film. By then, Dane and Clare’s family had grown by two, and they reached out to be part of my grant project. (watch their film here).

Last year, I had the pleasure of meeting the newest member of their family, Annie, during a family portrait session at Broad Run Park in Louisville, KY. It was such a joy to spend an afternoon capturing memories with the Orie family.

If you haven’t had enough of this beautiful family, you can view Dane and Clare’s engagement photos take at Saint Meinrad Archabbey.
