Party of Three {Chenal Family Photographer}

My friends are often my clients and I am lucky enough that often times my clients become my friends. This family is a great example.  I have gotten to watch Kendall play soccer alongside my daughter for a few seasons now.  I was so glad when they asked me to do some family photos for them!

After our session we got to sit down together over pizza as we wrapped up the soccer season.  They were saying how our session had been different than what they had expected and had experienced before.  They were using words like “laid back,” and “fun.”  I took that as a compliment!  I tell my clients that if you are stressing about your session, I need to change how I am doing my job.  I am always willing to help with everything from where to do the session, to what to wear, to what to purchase for your walls.  Call or e-mail me to set up your fun and laid back session today!

What Should I Wear?? {Central Arkansas Photographer}

One of the most common questions I get when I set up a session with a client is, “What should we wear?” Here’s what I say in my Frequently Asked Questions:

Here are some things to keep in mind: It doesn’t have to be new to be fabulous! It doesn’t have to be expensive to look great! It doesn’t have to be dressy to look great in a frame!

Just remember, if you feel uncomfortable you will look, well… uncomfortable.

One thing I always ask of my moms is to please…pretty please…with a cherry on top, not get in a fight with your kids about what to wear.  Don’t give them free reign (I’m a mom too and I know what can result) but also try not to threaten them into a dress they despise.  Happy comfortable kids lead to happy, fun to photograph families and ultimately great images!

Rowden’s on the Move {North Little Rock Baby Photographer}

Rowden’s proud Grandma is the one who brought him for his photo session with me in Burn’s Park this past week.  She had set up the session as a Mother’s Day gift for Rowden’s mama.

As soon as I met him I was in love!  At 14 months old he is a smily, happy, busy little man!

We spent time playing in his wagon and with him showing off his walking skills.  I love how you can see his personality in his eyes and his little teeth peeking out.

Rhys is 6 Months {Little Rock Baby Photographer}

I woke up excited to do this session with Mr. Rhys.  I first met him when he was only a few days old.  That first visit he and I spent a lot of quality time together as I tried to convince him that he wanted to go to sleep.  White noise machine was running, blankets had him bundled and cozy, mom had his belly full and his diaper clean and dry.  It seemed however that he just wanted to be able to see what was going on in the world around him.  As he peered around I caught an image of his beautiful eyes so alert and intent.  After a while he finally agreed that he was indeed tired and dozed off allowing me to get some of those images of a sleeping baby that just melt my heart.

This time I was headed to hang out with a 6 month old little fellow who is on the move and as cute as ever.  He was having a day where he wanted mom near by at all times so the three of us spent time together and I got to hear about what he is up  to these days.  He would definitely like to be walking all by himself, exploring the world, but until he masters a little more balance he counts on mom to escort him around to all the things he’d like to see!

The next time I see him I know I will need to wear my sneakers because I will be chasing him around for sure!

Brother & Sister {West Little Rock Teen Photographer}

Getting to work with the same families over time is one of the things that I love most about my job as a photographer.  I get to help mark milestones, form relationships, learn what they like, they learn about me.

A session this weekend in West Little Rock was great for all these reasons.  These two were some of the first that met when I first moved to Little Rock from Colorado (Denver to be specific).  I have gotten to photograph them a few times before so now when we get together its nothing but fun.

This weekend was carefully timed to allow us to get pictures while neither of them had braces!  Brother just got his off and was getting used to how it feels to smile without them.  Sister is getting hers put on next week.

Their mom was nice enough to allow me to pick these two up for a adventure around town.  We visited local fields, parking lots, and even office buildings.  Some of the coolest spots for pictures are ones that you drive or walk by every day and may not notice.  We had a great time and I loved watching these two crack each other up!
