BOYLE CO., Ky. (LEX 18) \u2014 Every love story has its own unique beginning. One photographer is hoping to help write the first chapter in a few new stories by setting up a first date photoshoot \u2013 with a little mystery involved. \u201cJust getting two people together who have never met is a wild idea,\u201d said Amber Pruitt, owner of Legacy Photography by Amber. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pruitt said she\u2019s no stranger to playing matchmaker. \u201cI have made a lot of matches, honestly just with friends that didn\u2019t know exactly how to say what they wanted to say or didn\u2019t know how to be more open or show who they are,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
With her camera \u2013 and a car wash \u2013 Pruitt hopes to set singles up on a mystery first date photoshoot. She explains some of the process.
\u201cI will personally be blindfolding them and then we will come over to the car wash station,\u201d Pruitt said. \u201cWhile they\u2019re still blindfolded they\u2019re going to start to try to wash the car. \u00a0That\u2019s just kind of to break the ice and get them comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
That is just part of the plan for one of the photoshoots, and there are a few different options for what sort of photoshoots applicants can participate in. \u00a0<\/p>\n
One applicant shared some insight on why she wanted to participate. We chose not to use her name to preserve the mystery of the event. \u201cI just think the idea of capturing maybe a first meeting energy on camera, it just feels so exciting, and you know, maybe memorable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
It could be a memorable moment, but Pruitt does need some more applications to come in. \u201cI have probably over 100 female applicants,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI have very few men applicants.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil those applications start moving in, I\u2019m limited to the amount of photoshoots that I can get together.\u201d<\/p>\n
