Images by John Michael I am adventurous. I have always taken risks Everything that I see around me in my everyday life. I never say no to an adventure. From young to old.

Nikon in hand, I am driven to be better today than I was yesterday...to learn by exploring the world around me. Blessed by God, my job has enabled me to travel to many places; even to exotic locales overseas with each new destination whether in my hometown or in a cab in a foreign country, I have been given a great gift...meeting fascinating people and capturing a moments of a lifetime one client

and one frame at a time. I do not like to say I specialize in any area of photography, I specialize in people. First Steps to Wedding Day. Newborns to the Golden years...all people in every phase or area of life...I find a new purpose in why I call myself a photographer.

✨ **WELCOME TO THE WORLD, REED DAVID ARMS!** ✨

There is just something so special about a newborn session. 🤍 That sweet, buttery-cream newborn skin, the tiny details, and the peaceful innocence that seems to simply **glow** in front of the camera.

Meet beautiful **Reed David Arms**, born August 14, 2026, and already so very loved by his parents, **Macayla and Kyle Arms**.

We were especially honored that Macayla and Kyle chose to drive **several hours** to trust **Images by John Michael** with capturing these first precious portraits of their baby boy. That kind of trust means more to us than we can say.

Newborns are only this tiny for such a short time. The little fingers, sleepy expressions, soft skin and way they fit perfectly in Mom and Dad's arms—these are the details we want families to be able to remember forever.

Thank you, Macayla and Kyle, for allowing us to create these memories for your family and for sharing sweet Reed with us. He was an absolute joy to photograph! 💙

At **Images by John Michael**, we believe **Image Is Everything**—and we're always **Thinking Outside the Box** to create portraits that are as unique and beautiful as the people in them.

Welcome to the world, Reed David! 💙

✨ **AWESOME 50 SENIOR — LINDSAY STAMBAUGH!** ✨

Some seniors come through our studio and become so much more than clients… **they become family.** ❤️

Meet **Lindsay Stambaugh**, a beautiful and incredibly talented senior at **Paintsville High School** and one of our **Awesome 50 Seniors!**

Our story with Lindsay began years ago when we had the privilege of photographing her dance images. Since then, we’ve watched this beautiful young lady grow up right in front of our cameras. Along the way, we’ve also had the blessing of photographing her wonderful mom, dad, and brother — and somewhere through all those sessions, photographs, conversations, and memories, they stopped feeling like clients and simply became **family.**

That’s what this business has always been about for us. ❤️
**It’s about the relationships.**

And Lindsay’s story makes this senior year even more meaningful.

**Lindsay is a blessing from above. She is a miracle.** 🙏

God has had His hand on this beautiful young lady’s life, and what a joy it has been to watch her become the person she is today. She is talented, beautiful, kind, strong, and surrounded by a family who absolutely adores her.

We believe with all our hearts that **Lindsay is going to do great things.** Her story is still being written, and we cannot wait to see where God leads her next.

For now, though, we get the incredible honor of capturing one of the most special chapters of all…

**Her senior year.** 🎓❤️

Lindsay, we hope you always know just how special you are and how many people are cheering you on. We are so thankful that your family has trusted us with your memories through the years, and we are beyond excited to capture every beautiful moment of your senior year!

**You truly are AWESOME, Lindsay — and we are so blessed to have you as one of our Awesome 50!** ✨
