THE WOMAN BEHIND
THE LENS, ROLLINS

Hello,

I’m so glad you’re here. I'm Rollins, a documentary-style wedding photographer splitting my time between Lexington, KY and wherever the wind takes me. I describe my style as modern classic , truth-inspired, and feeling focused! My objective whether photographing your wedding, headshot, or family is to capture who YOU are.

Born and raised in the Bluegrass, I spent five years in the North East before moving back to Lexington, KY. I began my wedding photography career in Brooklyn, NY which still holds a soft spot in my heart and I love to shoot there whenever I get the chance. I am an eager traveler with my passport always ready to go!

A LITTLE MORE

“The purpose of life is the acquisition of memories”.

While this may be a quote from Downton Abbey, it is one that I have felt to be true in my life. Acquiring and “capturing” memories is why I first picked up a camera, why I look back at photographs, and why I believe photography has become such a key component to a wedding day.  

I was so lucky to be raised seeing love in many different capacities. From my sweet grandparents who had boxes of all the letters they wrote to each other in their life, to my honorary aunts who were my family’s go-to friends. These loves around me have brought me to where I am now, photographing people in love. To capture the joys, intimacies, and excitement of a couple’s wedding day is my dream job.

From me, you can expect someone truly excited to document your day. My background includes a dance and performing arts education which greatly influences my photography. I’ve got an eye for detail and movement! Not to mention I’m a big fan of a good dance party.
