red (Conway, AR senior photographer)

 I was so excited last week to head to Conway and meet this sweet senior. I love some change of scenery and this was just that. Some great spots that I can't wait to go back to and check out further.
 I also LOVE red hair and it was so amazing with the fall color.
 Did I mention super fun locations? We got to end our shoot at a family friends barn and while there was plenty to love about it I was especially partial to this old tractor...so adorable.
 Thanks for showing me some great spots and smiling through the cold air and wind.
happy thursday!
one week until thanksgiving!

dates and deadlines...43 days til Christmas

dates and deadlines are not my specialty, but in order to keep on task i am going to give it a try.
November 11th....last day to order and have possibility of being back before Thanksgiving
December 12th...last day to order and have back before Christmas

I generally say give me two weeks for delivery, my printer is pretty fast, but I have minimum order amounts with them and have to factor in my time getting the order in and checking and packaging once it is in.

I will be out of pocket from November 13-17 & November 19-24. This means I will try to still check my email and respond in a timely manner, but will not be working.
I also plan to not work from December 18-31, this does not include order delivery or any sessions that are already booked.
thanks and happy friday!

me & molly (central arkansas senior photographer)

 From the second we pulled up at this location I was in love. It is pretty rare for me to shoot in a place that I didn't have some hand in picking, or have at least seen before. I had total faith that it would be amazing, I had seen a few pictures and Ms Molly has a great photographic eye, but it exceeded all expectations. I was in awe as I walked around every corner.
 Molly was great to work with, willing to climb on things and sit in questionable areas. And she didn't even mock me for how excited I was about these dilapidated buildings....she was even excited with me.
 On top of the location we were also working with great clothes (five changes), amazing weather, and she is pretty cute too (or gorgeous). Other than the horses, which I am apparently attractive to and scared of, it was a perfect shoot.
I could have and still could go on and on, but we were forced to stop by total darkness.
thanks molly!

zoo (arkansas family photographer)

 I'm sure I have mentioned in the past that one of my favorite things about working with my family is that I can use fun ideas I have in my head and have some input on clothes and they usually are up for whatever. My brother's wife is great with clothes and we have pretty similar likes and interest and so once again it was super fun to work with them.
 Though things that would work with kids that don't know me are lost on my nieces and nephews, who know me too well, I do know what they think is funny and so I can usually get a smile or even a giggle.
 This year I took my brother and his family to the zoo. It really is a pretty spot and a great place to watch a family be a family, I love that. We stopped along the way to check out some of our favorite animals. The giraffes were in rare form and kept standing behind them as we took photos. My nephew was having a very hard time not turning around to watch, but was pretty excited that the giraffe would be in the family photo.
 We had the added bonus of some cool rides outside the zoo, set up for Boo at the Zoo. Unfortunately they were not running until that night, but still a pretty fun backdrop.
 happy monday!

gifts (little rock, arkansas senior photographer)

 In my dream world I can dance, but in reality it is not where I am gifted. Fortunately I am lucky enough to experience the gifts of others.
 Last week I met up with this beautiful senior and got to photograph her and capture her gift.
I was excited to get to know her and thrilled when she pulled out her tap shoes and we made a plan to end our time together with a sunset and some leaps (jumps?).
Thanks so much for spending this time with me and putting up with "one more time".
happy friday!
