Taylor + Melanie - Arkansas Engagement Portraits

Taylor and Melanie are a super sweet couple. This Wednesday they made the trip down from Duluth, Minnesota to visit with family and take their engagement photos with me here in Little Rock. We had a blast and I can easily see why these two are perfect for each other. When they first got here, I told them that we may have to jump a few fences to get into some good locations. Melanie seemed a little worried, but I promised not to get us thrown in jail for trespassing so she went along for the ride, haha. Turns out we only had to cross one fence and it was on a public park so it was a good day. However, we were almost attached by a friendly/excited wet dog who had more than likely just taken a swim in the river and was out for a run, haha.Stay tuned for Taylor and Melanie's wedding photos this August! Enjoy!

Kaylen + Patrick - Arkansas Engagement Photos

I've got three reasons why I'm pumped to be photographing Patrick and Kaylen's wedding in July! First, they are one cool couple and have lots of love for each other. Second, they also booked one super cool wedding planner Jessica Kersey to help them with their wedding. Third, they're reception is at the Clinton Library and I've never shot a wedding there! Here are just a few of my favorites from their engagement session! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Wow, I sure am doing a lot of personal blogs lately, I guess I've been spending a lot of time with my family lately. That's not a bad thing right? I'm actually really happy that I can spend so much time with my family, after all, they do mean a whole lot to me. Today is my Mom's Birthday. We celebrated this weekend with dinner and gifts, and while I was visiting we got a little bit of a flurry. Of course I had my camera and asked mom if she would let me take a few photos of her. At the time, I was just snapping away, quickly composing the frame, adjusting shutter speed and aperture, just doing what I do without thinking much about it. Today, now that I'm looking at these photos and posting them on my blog, I'm realizing how special these photos are to me. Honestly they're priceless. Happy Birthday Mom!

Jaycee Alice - Newborn Portraits Arkansas

Candice really has been with me from the beginning, she's been a loyal client and friend for over the last two years. When I was first getting started in photography, Candice helped me build my portfolio by letting me photograph her bridal portraits. After Candice and Ray got married in October 2008, it wasn't long before their family began to grow. I was super excited that Candice still thought of me to do her maternity photos. That really is the biggest complement that I receive, when I take someone's photo and they are so happy they come back. I hope that I will continue to be a part of Candice, Ray, and now baby Jaycee's lives and I plan to continue to deliver photos that will make them smile. Thanks again Candice, for letting me be a part of your special moments, you certainly are a special part of my life.

Tuesday's with Eli - Roadtrips

I have always loved road trips. For one thing I do some of my best thinking on the road. All the distractions of the "day to day life" are taken away when you only have one simple task to do...Drive. Because I had dated Leslie for 3 years long distance, I got pretty used to long drives. I really only need a couple things to make me happy on a road trip: Plain sunflower seeds, bottle water, possibly a Rockstar Energy drink, and if it's a really long drive... an audio book. These simple things make all the difference to me if I'm driving by myself. However, if I have a driving partner, that is something else. This weekend Leslie and I took a roadtrip to Nashville, Tennessee, her hometown. We we going there for her sister's birthday dinner at her grandparent' house. The weather was really nice the whole weekend, just a bit chilly, but made for a super pretty drive most the way. I was major excited to listen to my new audiobook "Never Eat Alone" by Keith Ferrazzi, and the 11 hour drive was a perfect fit.
