3. Jessica Ebelhar

Jessica Ebelhar boasts work featured in several national and international media outlets and publications, including The New York Times, CNN, Louisville Magazine, and many more. Her work is vibrant, with an editorial pop normally reserved for food and product images. Only instead of candy or beverages, she takes those punchy backgrounds and creates portraits with loads of personality. Given Jessica’s specialization in advertising, as well as creating editorial food and beverage images, it makes perfect sense that she applies this bold style to her portraiture. We especially love the props employed, from rotary phones to typewriters, whichever best satisfies your creative concept.

4. Pascal Photographs

Pascal’s a master of classic and environmental portraiture. As a portrait photographer, Pascal uses his art to make connections with people and find the best way of expressing their individuality. He says himself, “Capturing the photos just happens to be a by-product of the human-to-human connection.” We enjoy the subdued, natural color palette he uses, giving his work a more documentary character that feels true-to-life and, as a result, timeless.

5. Brook Hollis Photography

Brook Hollis is a gifted lifestyle portrait photographer specializing in children’s photography and family portraiture. Ever since she first developed an interest in photography in 1998, Brook has worked extra hard to nurture her vision and find ways of showing others the beauty she sees in them. Though many of her shots are in color, her monochrome images are especially striking, with a matte aesthetic that gives it a vintage flair. Using classic portraiture techniques, Brook works with her clients to find expressive styles, clothes, and locations that show them to best effect.

6. Elizabeth of Lizzie Loo Photography

Elizabeth is a passionate photographer whose love of connection and family comes through both in her written words and her photography. As she says, “The nuance of relationship has always been clear to me. It’s a gift of sorts. A big gift that I send down a joy funnel, through vibrant color and ethereal light to deliver images that remember life’s pleasure and joys… Lets us sit a spell and get to know one another so that I can see your people for who they are and make images for remembering.”

She has a special talent for finding candid moments where kids are being kids at events or during planned photo sessions. The unabashed smiles of infants and small children is a miraculous thing, and Elizabeth has so many examples to offer! With Elizabeth’s more than 14 years of wedding photography and portraiture experience, it goes without saying she’s one of the best portrait photographers in Louisville.
