Miss Maggie!

Okay. I must be tired tonight as this is my third attempt to get this one up. This is Miss Maggie. I think her Mommy was about to have a fit for a peek so I thought I would be nice and show her a few. (now don't anyone go getting any crazy ideas that if you start throwing hissy fits you get your pictures any sooner....that will not work...chocolate might....jk)

Anyway, I have done Magggies pics in the past and was amazed at how much she has grown! She is soo sweet I could just eat her up!!! And that girl LOVES her daddy! Not that she doesn't love her mommy but she has her daddy right where she wants him...she just doesn't know it yet!

As you can see, we had an absolute perfect summer evening and lots of smiles and giggles. It was a lot of fun and I think everyone had a great time. I thought I would share a few of my favorites!!

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures and I want to thank these guys for letting me share a part of their day! And thanks to Grandad for letting us use his garden! What a perfect spot!!

Take care!

Mark and Olga

A few weeks ago, Christy and I went to shoot Mark and Olga's engagement session in Little Rock. The funny thing was that we really didn't have a specific place in mind to shoot and so at 5 minutes until 6, ( we were suppose to start shooting at 6), we were still driving around to see if anything gave us any creative prospects. We somehow stumbled onto the property of the Catholic Diocese of Little Rock and we instantly knew this was perfect! Not only was this place beautiful, it was a little extra special since Mark and Olga are getting married at St. Joesph's Catholic Church in August...so there was a tie.

Anyway, we had a blast. This couple is sooo much fun and Mark is an absolute riot. We had a beautiful day and a great setting and a lot of fun. I can't wait to do their wedding in August. It will be a great experience. Thought I would share a few from the day to give a sneak peek....

Thanks guys for being so willing to try whatever we asked you to do and for trusting us to find the perfect spot...okay at the last minute... but it worked!! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Thanks

Mr. Will

This is Mr. Will. He is another one of my babies that is not so much a baby anymore but a little boy. I had the honor of doing his pictures when he was a newborn and he was sooo tiny as he had come into the world a little early. Look what a big boy he is today and so sweet! Anyway I wanted to share a few from his 2 year old session. Hope you enjoy!

Will is now a proud big brother so I hope to get to meet his little brother soon! Dad will now have enough golfers to play in a 3 man scramble!! I know that makes him proud!

have a great weekend!

Jinger and Seth

I'm not sure what is wrong with me as I have been very sentimental this week. Anyway, Saturday I had the honor of photographing Jinger and Seth's wedding in Batesville. This was an extra special event as Jinger is my step-sister. I think a lot of things hit me Saturday. How time flys and how the really important things in life are held in a person's heart. I wanted to get these up as soon as I could as Seth is only here for a short time before he has to go back to his job of defending our country. Seth is in the Army and Jason, Jinger's brother and honorary flower girl ( more on that later) serves in the Air Force. Regardless of what is said about politics and the war in general, it is guys like these that make me proud to live in the country that I do.

Okay, enough of my soapbox...here are a few from the day. Sorry guys. I was really trying to fly through these and haven't looked at very many so I hope you like what you see.

I wanted to put this one up as this shot was Seth's request. SO far it is one of my favorites!!

About the flower girl....in every wedding, there is something that happens that makes the day a little more special...usually gets a few laughs and adds to the memories of the day. Well, for this wedding, I vote for this memory. Stacy, Jin's niece and Jason's daughter, could not be coaxed to walk down the isle even after much prodding and bribing I am sure. So Jason, being the big brother that he is, filled in nicely for the job. Dropped rose petals and all! Atta Boy Jason!!

Anyway, I hope you guys have a great week together and I hope your life together is filled with much love and laughter. I know you guys are off to a great start!!
Take care and God Bless!!

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to say "Happy Father's Day" to all of the Daddy's out there. Hope you guys had a great day of doing just what you want. I just wanted to tell my wonderful husband that I am so proud of the Daddy that he is and am truly inspired by his continued show of love and patience with our girls. Being a parent is sometimes a lot of hard work but I am so glad that i get to share this job with you!! You are my rock and I know that you are laying such a strong foundation for our girls!!

Again, I hope you guys had a great father's day. I know that my husband will enjoy his gift in a few weeks...it has something to do with getting his garage back....More to come on that at a later date!

Night all! Hope this day let you rev up for a great week!

Jay and Lori

I wanted to share a few pictures from Jay and Lori's wedding last week at Four Winds Chapel. It was such a sweet and intimate ceremony and i was honored to be a part of it. These guys are so in love and so sweet with each other that it was humbling just to witness it!! All of their family came down from Missouri to be at the wedding so I got to be the brunt of many Arkansas jokes...but it was a good time had by all. Anyway, here are a few from the day. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for letting me share in your big day! Best Wishes!!

Miss Erin!

Time goes by. These pictures made me very sentimental. This is Miss Erin and I have had the honor of doing her pictures since she was a newborn. These are her 2 year pics and I can't believe how time has flown. I've had several babies turn 2 this year and I think I've cried right along with the moms. They grow up so fast. It really is a huge honor to be able to document these first two years and those to come. I have to thank you guys for letting me have the chance in doing that and getting attached to the kiddoes (and families) in the process!

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures and I have to say that I am so excited to get to meet the newest member of the family, Eli, this coming week! Hopefully I will have pics up from that session soon as well!

Have a great day!

Andrew and Julie!

Well, I said we did things a little backwards as I shot Julie's bridals before we shot their engagement session. Oh well, it all comes out okay in the wash as they say. It was great to meet Andrew and to see these two interact together. It is easy to tell that they share a lot of love and laughter. I know they are getting very excited about their upcoming wedding in Hawaii next month. Anyway, here are a few fun ones from their session. Hope you guys enjoy and sorry for the delay!

Hopefully I will have more pics up from other sessions as well...where does the time go?? Hope you guys have a great weekend!

More of Julie

I have been trying to get caught up on some of my blogging and ran across some more of Julie's pics from her bridals and could not resist sharing a few more. I know, I haven't even posted any of the engagement pics but I promise they are coming. Hope you guys enjoy these. What a beautiful bride!!

First Communion Pics!

This is Miss K getting ready for her First Communion. I just had to post a couple of these as they were too precious not to share. Although we had to shoot these very fast...we had a major thunderstorm approaching...she did such a great job that I thought I would share a few. Especially since Kelsey is terrified of storms and did such a great job pretending she wasn't!


As a mom who has gone through this before, it's very hard to see your daughter dressed all in white and not look down the road to imagine the next time she will be in white and wearing a veil. It really does bring tears to your eyes.

Happy First Communion!

Happy Birthday Everett!

Sneak Peek. This precious boy belongs to my partner in crime, Christy. ( I always say that...we really aren't criminals...criminally insane maybe...lol) Today was Everett's first birthday and I was so excited to try to take his pics to document the event. I say "try" because this is one busy boy...sooo sweet but soo busy! We had so much fun and got a lot of looks from passerbys today. I'm sure we did look crazy and everyone had birthday cake on them before we left the scene. Our girls were so great to help out and Everett held out for as long as he could!

Afterward, we treated them to lunch and swimming.... What more could you ask for?

Of course, I had to peek at one of the shots and tease Christy a little...

Christy talked me into looking at a few more! I loved this one. You can tell how much that baby loves his mommy!!!He is beautiful!!Look at the mess we made!!!

Well, I hope Everett had a wonderful Birthday as we had a wonderful time visiting with them today! My girls seem to think we need one of those little guys at our house now...may be time for another pet!! Thanks for coming guys! We will have to do it again soon....we need to put it on our schedules!!!
night all!
