Happy New Year

2009-01-07T02:26:00.001-06:00

Hey Guys!
I hope that everyone enjoyed celebrating the holidays and got to spend some quality time with your family and friends. I also hope that everyone has started the new year with a wonderful idea of what you want to accomplish 2009! Sorry that I have not blogged in a while. I was very busy getting out end of the year orders and then celebrated the holidays with my family and friends. I hope to have a few new pictures up just to give you something new to look at for a while.
Prospero Ano!

Very Naughty Phone

2008-12-05T11:32:00.002-06:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you try to call me and I don't get back with you, well, then I just didn't get your message. My phone decided to drink my coffee last night and is behaving very poorly today. I am getting calls sporadically and can't send any at all. Yes, it had some help getting into my cup holder which was still holding the morning coffee...but that is another story and not a pleasant one!

So the best way to reach me right now is the wonderful email!

Thanks and have a great day!

Lisa

Fun Family!

2008-11-19T19:55:00.002-06:00

This time of year get's so crazy that I always get further behind on blogging than normal. Throw in the fact that I have been sick for the last few days and now I am very behind on everything!! These guys were so fun and I loved the location so I thought I would share a few from our afternoon a few weeks ago.

Thanks guys for a fun afternoon!

The Wagnon Family

2008-11-09T20:40:00.004-06:00

I was trying to remember, (yes, for those of you who know me that is a funny thought as I really can't remember anything!) anyway, when I first met this family. I think we first met when I did Tripp's first year pictures. I'm going to feel bad if it was before then but that is the first I can remember. Anyway, I do know that this is the first time we have done family pictures and I laugh everytime I think about this session. Griff, the youngest, is two. Need I say more!! I haven't heard the word "NO" so much in one session in a while. And it was not us telling him no, of course, it was the other way around! He was so funny!! Anyway, we had a beautiful fall afternoon and a lot of laughs so here are a few from the day!

Girl Power!

2008-11-05T11:03:00.006-06:00

I just had to share a few pictures from our takewondo testing last month. For those of you who keep up with the blog, you know that the girls and I are all taking takewondo and we had to test for our yellow belts on the 24th of last month. This is uncharted territory for all of us and we were all very nervous. Needless to say, the girls ROCKED!!! I was so proud as they had worked really hard..or actually we all did...anyway, we all passed and are now official yellow belts. I honestly have no words to describe how proud I was of them. It is a very intimidating atmosphere for first timers and Alli Grace about chewed all of her nails off before they ever called her up.

Anyway, here are just a couple.

This was after we were all done and a huge sigh of relief as we were able to watch the higher belts test.

This is Alli Grace in action. She was so nervous and was called in the second group. She did the best she has ever done and showed her stuff. Don't let the bow fool you as she is a force to be reckoned with.

And this is Morgan. If you will remember, she wanted nothing to do with takewondo and, needless to say, has excelled in the sport. She is a natural.

So there you have it. I decided not to share any of myself as I hate looking at myself in pictures! Especially when I look like a huge marshmallow!

I need to say a big THANK YOU to Ms. Shanna for taking pictures for me while we were all testing. She did a great job and I LOVE all of the action shots! I have some of her too that I need to get posted as well.

I cannot say enough about this organization. We train at Grandmaster Hans Martial Arts of Central Arkansas here in Conway with Tom and Shanna Mullaney...okay I probably spelled that all wrong. Anyway, we have a lot of great instructors and an atmosphere that is positive, encouraging and truly like a family. I feel very blessed that we found this organization and have been welcomed into their family. I highly recommend this for anyone regardless of age or gender. However, if you have a daughter...get her in here!! They really do teach great life skills.

Bailey Sr. 2009

2008-11-02T12:43:00.002-06:00

This girl was up for anything and we had so much fun. A big thanks goes out to Todd for being "my assistant" for the shoot. That could definitely get me spoiled! Anyway Bailey thanks for doing such a great job and making my job easy. Hope you enjoy the peek!!

Cooper

2008-10-29T11:54:00.003-05:00

This little guy is Cooper...or shall I say big guy. He was three weeks when we did this shoot and he is already a big boy. He did such a great job and was so calm through all that we did. I know that mom and dad are anxious for a peek so here they are.

Hope you enjoy!

Andy and Ty

2008-10-18T23:54:00.004-05:00

These guys you have seen before. They have just grown a ton! I wanted to put a few up as I know that mom and nana are having a fit to see these. So here is some to wet your whistle!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Sweet baby Girl!

2008-10-18T23:28:00.002-05:00

This sweet baby did such a great job. She stayed awake when we needed her to and took a nap when it was we were wanting. How perfect. Thought her mom, grandmom and aunt would be anxious for a peek.

Thanks guys for coming to see me and thank you for the continued referrals from my established clients. You guys are the best!!

New Website is LIVE!

2008-10-15T11:26:00.001-05:00

I am so excited as my new website is up and going. Now they did tell me it might take a little while before everyone had access to it but, if you get a chance, stop by and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

Lisa

http://www.lisafeltsphotography.com/

I am sooo excited.

2008-10-08T05:05:00.004-05:00

I have a new website ready to launch at any minute. I am so excited as, after 4 years, I was kind of getting tired of the old one and needed to update everything. I will let you guys know as soon as I go live with it.

Also, the Santa question has come up...is Santa coming to the studio this year? Well, yes, he is but I will not be documenting him this year. Instead there is a fellow photographer in the studio who is taking my spot for this special event. Contact me at lisafeltsphotography@gmail.com and I will give you the details!

Also, don't forget that you can book Santa to come directly in to your home to visit your children. You can check out his website at:

http://conwaysanta.com/

Santa has come to my house in the past and does a great job! IT really is a special treat for the kiddoes and adults as well.

Have a great Wednesday!

The Stalker Kids

2008-10-08T04:19:00.003-05:00

I have to say that this is one of the shortest sessions I have had all year but we still got some great shots. These guys did so good. Anyway, I know that mom is anxious to have a peek, so here they are.

Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures and thanks for sharing your afternoon with me!

Braving Gustav!

2008-10-04T22:44:00.002-05:00

I am a little late in posting these...okay a lot late...but I wanted to share a few as we had such a fun session. I had actually called twice to make sure these guys were still coming as they were driving from out of town and the weather was not being very nice! You would have never known that the hurricane had come to town and we had major wind and sheets of rain. We actually had a couple of power surges during our session. Nothing was going to stop us though!

Anyway, I wanted to share a few as we had so many laughs and, I think, a good time had by all.

I hope you guys had a great time at Disney World and that the weather was nice to you!!

Here we go again.

2008-09-29T18:05:00.007-05:00

Well, we have another addition to our crazy household. This one comes with a promise from three people in my family. Daddy really wanted Morgan to take martial arts with Alli and me and she didn't want to. So....he said "what do I have to do to get you to go" and there we go. Promise #1. Morgan has to go to martial arts. Promise #2 Alli has to keep her room clean. Promise #3 Dad can't gripe, complain, basically say anything negative about the dog...so there.

What you may ask do I get out of the deal...hmm...a cute little dog that doesn't want me to put her down all day, lots of messes to clean up after and a little more stress. With that being said, it has been worth it to hear the girls giggle with their new pet. So without further adieu, here is Piper.

She is suppose to be 1/2 shih tzu and 1/2 yorkie...she may just be an expensive little mutt. Either way, we love her!

Hope you guys enjoyed the peek and hopefully we will get her housetrained very soon, and Alli will keep her room clean, and Morgan will become a black belt and our house will be in perfect harmony! :) Nice thought and I will keep you posted.

Night!

Family fun

2008-09-24T08:37:00.002-05:00

I had so much fun with this family. We had a lot of laughs and they were naturals in front of the camera and as assistants with the reflector! Anyway, I wanted to share a few as we had a great session.

Thanks so much for sharing your morning with me! Hope you like the pics!

Sweet Baby Andie

2008-09-19T23:13:00.002-05:00

How precious is this baby girl?

I wanted to share a few pictures from this session as I know that mom and dad are anxious to see a few and who could blame them?

Andie was so alert and so calm throughout our entire session. I just hate it that her daddy was sick and not able to come along. Anyway, here they are...

Hope you guys enjoy the peek and I will see you soon. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Oh Happy Day!

2008-09-17T13:35:00.002-05:00

As usual, I am behind on my blogging. And, as usual, you guys are so patient. Thank you!! WIthout further delay, here are a few from Mike and Jessica's wedding last month. If any of you follow the blog, then you have seen their engagement and Jessica's bridals before these.

I loved this first picture as Dad is helping with the dress and Mom is in the background watching.

A few little details of the day. This is a picture of the necklace that Jessica gave to her mom.

And...Jessica holding on to Mike's ring

Jessica and the flower girl...she was too cute.

The little guys about to take the walk!

A moment at the altar.

The exchanging of vows. Jessica and Mike wrote letters to each other that Father Charlie read to everyone. It was sooo sweet!

The kiss!

The first dance!

Daddy's little girl!

The last shot of the day. I loved it. I think this totally sums it up for parents. Happy that it is over and everything went smoothly...but dog tired and going home without their baby.

Anyway, guys thanks so much for letting me and Mike come and share your day. You guys were so much fun as always! I wish you happy happy joy joy in your new life together!!!

More blogs to come!

Say a Prayer

2008-09-11T08:22:00.005-05:00

I don't know about the rest of you guys this morning but as I have gone through my daily routine of getting ready, getting my girls ready and out the door etc, my heart has been heavy as I think about the thousands of families and friends who will wake up and relive every moment of their lives seven years ago today.

I don't know anyone, who was old enough to know what was going on, who doesn't remember exactly what they were doing on September 11th, 2001 when the lives of so many and the life of our nation changed forever. Although we couldn't imagine on that day or the days and weeks after the attack that we would eventually slip back into a normal life, most of us have. It is so easy for us to take for granted all of the freedoms and luxuries that we are so use to. Maybe that is a good thing to show that we will always have the America that so many died for.

So for today, lets turn our ears away from the election, not honk at the crazy driver in front of us and maybe just go out of our way a little bit to do a good deed for a stranger. Even if just for today, let us remember that we are one people, we are strong. Let us remember our troops all over the world who risk their lives and those who have given their lives so that we can live as we do.

And, most of all, let us remember all of those heroes who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001 because they lived in a land of freedom.

May they rest in peace.

And for my dear friend Alyson, if for some crazy reason this gets to you today, just know that you and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers but especially today.

Isabella

2008-08-06T23:03:00.004-05:00

DId I mention that I was having a great week with all of the babies that have been coming to see me. I have been in heaven. This has got to be the best job in the world. I have gotten so many slobbery kisses this week.

Well, this is Isabella. She is my step neice. The first time I did her pictures I think she was 5 days old. Now she is 7 months. Where does the time go? We had so much fun and she is so sweet! All of her pictures turned out great and I wanted to let everyone see a few until I get the actual proofs done.

This was the first shot of the day and remains to be my favorite.

Isabella loves her Mommy!

How funny is this! She was giggling so hard!

Look how excited she is! She wanted to play with my girls and they wanted to play with her.

I'm not sure what I am going to do when my girls are back in school. They have been the best little helpers this summer and the kiddoes just love them. As for you Miss Isabella, you are coming to see us as soon as we get back from vacation!

Take care!

Lisa :)

Abby Grace

2008-08-05T23:47:00.003-05:00

I know that I am sounding like a broken record lately but I really am getting my baby fix. This is Miss Abby Grace and she rules the universe in case you didn't know. The universe, that is, for her mom and dad and everyone she comes into contact with. Again, I am in love. I guess I fall very easily. She really is the sweetest thing and Alli Grace was a big hit with this little one too.

I always wonder how little ones will do when they have to travel a long way to come see me. Well, she did great as you can see from the pictures. Also, as you can see from these pictures, Abby Grace has been a long time coming for these two wonderful parents and she is the apple of their eye. They waited three years for her arrival and she came such a long way to be a part of their family. It was very much worth the wait! I had to share some pictures as soon as I could as this is her very first photo session.

I hope you guys enjoyed the peek and thanks for spending your morning with me!

Have a great vacation!

Lisa :)

Funny little frogs!

2008-08-05T15:09:00.003-05:00

The "H" Family. These guys really are sort of family now as their "uncle" married in to our family in May. I was honored to get to do their pics during their recent trip to Arkansas. Anyway, we found a ton of baby frogs during this shoot which was a great distraction for everyone...and I think all of the frogs survived???

I loved this picture as you can tell how much fun these guys have together.

I had a hard time getting Zaine to look at the camera but I loved how this shot turned out.

However, he was definitely up for looking at me when he was getting ready to splash water on me! Boys will be boys!

How sweet is this of Blythe and her teddy bear playing dress up. Look at the bling on her hand!

Her personality really started to come out when she put on her dancing shoes!

Watch out Tiger, here I come!

Thanks guys for making the drive and for spending the morning with me. Most of all thanks for braving the heat and the mosquitos! Yuck. I am so ready for fall!!
I hope you guys had a safe trip back and thanks for your patience in seeing these. Have a good rest of the summer. I know that Blythe is excited to start kindergarten!!

Take Care.

Lisa :)

The "S" family

2008-08-05T14:45:00.004-05:00

I know this mom has been anxiously waiting for a sneak peek so I thought I would share a few. These were also shot in the new studio so I was excited to get to play there again. Maybe I will start learning when my favorite time is to shoot there. So far my only complaint is the same as everyone else's at this time of year...the heat!

Anyway, here are a few from the day. You know I can never resist a baby pout!

These girls were so good withthis baby brother. Even though he was a little fussy. They hung in there the whole time and even got some time of their own.

Trying to decide if there really are goldfish in that pond...

This little diva always turned it on for the camera. She was not shy about getting her picture made!

And, I loved this one except she looks so much older than she really is.

Anyway, thanks so much for sharing the morning with me and braving the heat. You guys did a great job and I hope you like your pictures.

Thanks!

Lisa :)

Mason

2008-08-04T20:09:00.003-05:00

This little man is Mason. I was so excited to get to do his session in the new studio and play around with some lighting. For those of you wanting to know, we are officially moved in but still have a lot of things we want to do. However, I have had several non-photography related projects going so I have been putting off starting any new projects at the studio..and I am using the heat as an excuse. Geez...will it ever rain?

Anyway, Mason and his mom and dad came to visit me for a late afternoon session so we did some in all areas of the studio so I will try to share a few.

This first shot is one of Mason peeking through the iron railing out in the courtyard. He was a little serious when we first started out. I love those long eyelashes!!

This is Mason with his daddy. If anyone could get a smile out of this little boy it was definitely his daddy!

I loved the lighting in this shot. This is Mason as he climbs the steps out of the studio and into the courtyard.

Now for a break from the heat. We come inside and eat a bite of cake!

Another break from the heat, Mason gets to play in the water as we try to get the cake off of him. There is not really anything good to take cake icing off...however, we tried! I loved him in his daddy's cowboy hat!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the peek at the studio and I'll try to get some actual studio pics up as soon as I can. For those of you who know me, you know not to hold your breath. It will get done but I think I am on Mexico time...

Until next time...

Lisa :)

Happy Birthday Riley

2008-08-04T15:14:00.004-05:00

This little sweetheart is Riley. I got to meet her when she was a wee little newborn and now we are doing her one year pictures. She has grown up so fast and is the sweetest baby in the world. We had so much fun together. I say "we" because my girls accompanied me on this shoot and Riley LOVED them as they loved her. She just kept wanting to go to them and give them hugs and kisses.

I love this first shot as she is saying come see me!

She had so much fun with the water bottle. She knew she was too cute for me to try to take it away from her. I think she knows she could get away with anything around me.

Loved how she had all of those different expressions. Mom said that she does this all the time with her tongue. Too cute!

One of my favorite standing shots. Of course, you can't see all of her face but I love how sweet this is.

This monkey belongs to me. I had to put this one in as this is what I got when I asked Morgan to jump in and let me check the light when switching backgrounds. She is so at that age.

And this last one too. This is Riley giving luvs to my Alli Grace. I'm telling you, we would have taken this baby home with us. My girls are still talking about her.

I wanted to show one of her newborn pictures to show you how much she has grown. Time sure flies!

Thanks sweet baby girl for coming to see me again. We had such a great time and I hope you like your pictures.

See you soon.

Lisa and the girls!

I also want to give a big THANK YOU to Christy for teaching me how to make my pictures larger.

Todd and Kate

2008-07-17T12:09:00.024-05:00

I hate that I am just now blogging about this wedding but things have been kind of nuts lately. Anyway, Todd and Kate allowed me and Mike Kemp to share in their special day and it truly was an honor. This family and this couple were so sweet and so much fun to be around that this really didn't seem like work at all. Anyway, I apologize for the delay but here are a few of my many favorites...

The girls met up at Tammy's at 7:00 am to get ready for the 11:00 am wedding. This was my first morning wedding and, after the shock of getting up early, it turned out to be a great time. This was my first shot of the day and I love how everyone is so laid back!

How sweet is this? As her bridesmaids are trying to "fix" a button, Kate shares a moment with her flower girl. Her button actually came off. To avoid any unnecessary breakdowns/ stress, we told her that we "glued" it back on. However, we forgot to mention to the flower girl that the glue thing was a secret and she announced to Kate later that she was still missing a button!! Although we were all caught in the little white lie, Kate took it in stride and got married anyway! It's all in the details.

Kate had so many wonderful treasures that she carried with her that day.

A small moment with mom to gather herself.Ready for the day!
This is one of my very favorite shots, as Kate is leaving for her "limo" with Dad and sis, Mom is waving in the door.Kate's surprise "limo" was a horsedrawn Cinderella carriage. I thought this was one of those priceless moments of the day. Dad surprised Kate by telling her he wanted some alone time with her before the ceremony. So the rest of us loaded up in the limo and Kate and Dad got that alone time in a very special way!

I loved this shot that Mike took of Kate and the horse that brought her to the church.Waiting...At the altar...The Kiss...To her carriage with Prince Charming....Arriving at the reception. The reception was at Josie's on the White River in Batesville. This place has such a neat atmosphere and wonderful food. The first dance...The dance with Dad. I loved this shot as Kate's dad was stepping on her dress and she was tripping over it with those bare feet.Mike caught me in my element...A quiet moment with Mom before they leave the reception...
Off to the real limo this time for a night on the town on Beale Street. Guys, thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day. You guys were so much fun and so laid back that it made my job easy. I wish you well in all that you do and hope that you live happily ever after!

And, thanks to Mike for coming to second shoot for me. You made my job easier as well!

Lisa :)

Happily Ever After...

2008-07-07T20:56:00.008-05:00

Sorry guys. I feel like I am writing as the world turns as it has taken me so long to get back to these guys. Anyway, here are a few pictures I wanted to share of Brittany and Leighton's ceremony and reception. A long about dark as my golfing buddies would say....

Here she comes...

Sweet baby girl...the kiddoes all did so good!
With this ring...

This Kiss this kiss...
Yea!! We did it! Let's go party!!

Okay, Brittany wanted this shot....

So, Leighton wanted this one!

Okay, I have never seen bride and groom bobbleheads B4! These were too cute!!

Everyone got in on the dancing....

These girls play some mean air guitar....

But pale in comparison to JT!

The end....or is it the beginning??

Congratulations Brit and Leighton!! Hope all is going well with your new jobs and home!

Brit and Leighton Part 2

2008-06-20T23:49:00.012-05:00

Well, I did say it would be awhile...and here they are. This is the second installment to Brittany and Leighton's wedding last month. This group of pics actually begins pre-ceremony activities.

We started the day off at a Bridesmaid's luncheon at Zoe's in Hot Springs. First, let me premise what kind of day I am having to start out with....My oldest, Morgan gets up, (she is a member of the wedding party and to attend the bridesmaid's luncheon at 10am.) So she forgot her outfit that I bought for her to wear. Hmm...where do you go shopping at 8 in the morning in Hot Springs...Wally world here we come. SO then, we rush back to the hotel to meet up with everyone to go to the luncheon and the wonderful tissue that I used as a bandage after a major shaving incident came loose and I got blood all over my cute little striped capris...which I am wearing all day and for the wedding I might add. Needless to say, we get to Zoe's and guess who forgot their camera!! Really!! Too many hats for me to wear this day that is for sure.

Anyway, I totally fell in love with Zoe's. They had the best brunch EVER and I am still waiting on my mother in law to get the receipe for the french toast casserole thing that was just plain evil! And then the cake really was the best cake I have had in a long time. The cake was so cool as it had ribbons for each of the bridesmaids and flower girls to pull out of the cake and at the end of the ribbon was a little trinket. It was so much fun to watch the little ones pull out their ribbon to get their surprise. I really want to go back to this place again. Very neat place and YUMMY...

After the luncheon, it is off to begin getting the girls ready. This part was so much fun as Aunt Kim did nails and I did curls. I stayed with my girls long enough to get their hair up, they have a lot of hair...I can't remember how many bobby pins that Morgan said I had in her hair but it was a ton...38??

Then it was off to the condo where Brit and her girls were getting ready...

I love this picture as Brittany is always cool as a cucumber, but she shows the excitement of a little girl here.

I got the treat of hanging out with Brittany and Leighton before the whole wedding party arrived for pictures. Below are just a few that we took.

Okay guys, more to come later. I have so much more posting to do. Thanks everyone for their patience as we are moving me out of one studio into another AND I've been painting four seperate rooms in my own house...totally not enough to do!

Night all! Supermom is going to bed :)

Funny boy!

2008-06-15T17:56:00.006-05:00

This little guy is Layton. He was so much fun and so..."BOY" for lack of a better word. He was busy and quick! I had so much fun with him and I love all of the expressions we got during this session.

Thought you guys would enjoy a sneak peek as I just had to share a few of these!

Mattinglee

2008-06-15T12:51:00.007-05:00

Welcome to the world! This is baby Mattinglee and her Mommy and Daddy. She did such a great job with her first time in front of the camera. Thought I would share a few as I have not blogged in a while.

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Anniversary Gram and Grandad!

2008-06-04T22:36:00.005-05:00

I almost made it through this day and forgot to wish two very special people in my life a Happy Anniversary!! Scott's Mom and Dad celebrated the wedding bliss of 42 years today. Yeah!! When I asked how many years...they said "A lot". I think anyone who has been married that long always says that. Actually, I think my husband says it on a daily basis and we aren't even half way there yet!!

These guys are both so wonderful and made me feel like a member of the family even before I was one. I have always teased my husband by saying that we could never get divorced as he would not have anywhere to go "home" to!

Anyway guys, I hope you had a wonderful day doing exactly what you wanted to!

You deserve it!!

Jackson!!

2008-06-04T21:45:00.007-05:00

This is one of the little boys who has captivated me since I first started doing his pictures. He is so cute and i LOVE that red hair and BIG brown eyes. He has gotten so big. He was not really wanting to get his picture made at first but, after we all got in the dirt and played, he was all for it! Hope you enjoy the pictures of this little cowboy!

I really wish they had those boots in my size!
Thanks guys for being so patient. I still have lots of blogging to do and I am trying...I promise!
Night!!
Lisa :)

Sarah Blanche

2008-05-28T17:34:00.003-05:00

This little cutie is Sarah Blanche. She is the niece of Kate who is getting married this weekend in Batesville. I was lucky enough to get to play with her while Aunt Kate was getting ready for her bridal portrait. Needless to say, Mom and Dad are dying for a peek as they couldn't be there during Sarah Blanche's session. So here are just a few to wet their whistle as the saying goes....

Precious!!

Playing hide and seek with Aunt Kate!

Every little girl loves to play dress-up...
You guys know me...I am a sucker for pouty faces!!

Hope you enjoy the pictures! I still have a ton from other sessions to post and will also try to get back to Brittany's wedding pictures very soon....
Bye for now!
Lisa :)

Kate

I had the honor of doing Kate's bridals this past week and wanted to share a few. Kate grew up in Batesville and I was so excited when she called me to do her wedding. As you can see, she is a beautiful bride and we had so much fun. I have to thank her mom for helping me out with the reflector. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures!!

Have a great day everyone!

Brittany and Leighton...Rehearsal

2008-05-19T22:08:00.012-05:00

Hey Guys,

I know that I have some very impatient people so I thought I would go ahead and try to start blogging some from Brittany and Leighton's wedding this past weekend. I know what is going to happen, I will get this started and not get back to it for a couple of weeks and start getting hate mail!! JK.

Anyway, I will start with the rehearsal that took place at 2:00 pm on Friday the 16th. As I was walking into the church...this is the first image that I had to get. This is John Todd. Every bit of John Todd I might add. He is my nephew and this picture is "so" him. He is rotten to the core...we have all made him that way so it is not his fault...and he is so stinking cute! Anyway, he was not overly impressed with this whole wedding thing but was being as cooperative as a 5-year-old boy can be! ( He actually started to have fun later in the day and I have a picture of him playing air guitar at the reception. I will share it later. It is hilarious!)

This is the two flower girls. What you can't see here is that they both have the most beautiful red hair and blue eyes. They look so much alike and they are not even related!! However, they got along so great. I was so proud of all of the little guys...they all did such great jobs...and tried to steal the show as kiddoes do!!

This is Brit and her dad as they were enjoying the little ones right along with everyone else...

The junior bridesmaids...my girls and my niece McLain.....Alli and McLain were so excited..Morgan, being the tomboy, couldn't get over the idea of wearing a dress. However, in the end, she enjoyed the whole event...as tomboys can that is!

SO this is how this goes?? Britt and Leighton at the altar...

The little girls, Blythe and Elena, once again ...sorry. They were so precious I took several pictures of all of the kiddoes!!!

This is John Todd and Asa. So Asa was the youngest of the bunch and was very unhappy about the whole situation. He ended up deciding to not be in the actual wedding but he did make an appearance at the rehearsal...I love how he is looking at John Todd!

What a cutie!

Okay guys. That is all for now. I am still worn out from the weekend and have a full week this week. Hope this was enough to get you started.

More to come later from the Bridesmaid's luncheon and getting ready for the main event!

Night all!

Lisa :)

Happy Birthday Caroline!

2008-05-14T21:20:00.004-05:00

I think this is probably the sweetest family I have ever met. We had so much fun and, as you can tell, Caroline is the absolute apple of her parents' eyes. We had a georgous afternoon and a happy baby and birthday cake! What more could you ask for? We got so many fun shots that I had a hard time deciding which ones to share...

Caroline was all about sharing her cake and I think mom and dad were both covered before we were done!

Thanks guys for sharing the afternoon with me and for braving the traffic during Toad Suck Days!

Have a safe trip back from North Carolina!

Lisa :)

Sophia

2008-05-14T20:03:00.005-05:00

This little cutie is Sophia. I was so honored to get to do her one year pics and she did such a great job! She was a little slow to warm up but then we chased her everywhere. We had a great time. Alli Grace was on hand to assist me and she really did this day. Sophia's big sis had come along for the shoot also and she and Alli played well together. Actually they had so much fun playing that the next thing we knew, big sis had fallen into the goldfish pond...and went under!! I can honestly say that this was a first. I have had an older brother slip into the pond but never one go all the way in. Bless her heart!! It scared her to death. However, mom just took everything in stride and we finished the shoot. And, no, I didn't take one picture as sis was devastated and I didn't want to add to it. However, looking back, I wish I would have snapped just one!

Here are a few of the birthday girl!

Have a great evening!
Lisa :)

Brittany

2008-05-13T22:09:00.006-05:00

Tis the season! It is definitely the season for weddings and it has been a lot of fun doing all of the bridal sessions that I have been doing. I'm a little behind on posting as usual but thought I needed to get these up as these guys are getting married on this coming Saturday. I am excited as this will be my first wedding at Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs. The chapel there is beautiful so it will be a georgous wedding.

This is Scott's cousin Brittany and I think she was maybe 3 when Scott and I first started dating. yes I am feeling quite old and, as you can see, she has grown up to be a beautiful bride. She has just graduated with her masters degree in Speech Path so talk about starting a new chapter in your life.

Anyway, this will also be the first wedding that both of my girls are in so I'm sure I will have lots of pictures. Alli Grace is so excited...she is my girly-girl...can't wait to get all dolled up. However, Morgan, being her daddy's girl, is having second thoughts on having to wear a dress. Daylight and dark I tell you!

Anyway, here are a few favorites from Brittany's session.

More to come on the wedding after the weekend!

Night all!

Lisa

Jessica

2008-05-09T09:25:00.007-05:00

This girl is so crazy and we had a blast doing her bridals!! She was up for anything and I have never laughed so much in my life. For those of you who keep up with the blogging, Jessica and I have a thing for cemetaries and did a few shots in the cemetary for her engagement pix so we had to do a follow-up for her bridals too. I'm looking forward to her wedding in August because I know it will be a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy the pictures and Michael...you better not be peeking!

I hope you guys have a great weekend! I'm off to Hot Springs to do Brittany's bridals!!

Lisa :)

Avery and Addison

2008-04-22T09:17:00.009-05:00

I had such a good time with these girls and they hung in there like troopers. Addison was not feeling well and we really had to work to get some smiles. She still did a great job. I still want to get my hands on her when she is back to her normal self. Avery, on the other hand, was my little diva. She loved getting her picture made and she was all personality!! Anyway, I wanted to share a few as we had such a beautiful afternoon.

I loved this shot. Big sis is helping Addison with her "chap".

Hope you guys enjoyed the pictures! Have a great day to all!

Lisa :)

Liz Sr. 2008

2008-04-16T22:12:00.006-05:00

I was so excited when Liz called and asked if I would do her senior pictures. I had done her pictures with her little sisters 4 years ago and I was excited to get to see her again. She definitely has grown up since the last time I saw her and she was still as sweet as ever. We had a lot of fun and, thank goodness, she was patient with me. I had Alli Grace with me and she is usually so good and this day she was a little contrary until we bribed her with a root beer from Sonic. I wish I was so easy!!

Anyway, here are a few from the day!

Thanks Liz for spending the afternoon with us. You did an amazing job and i love that car!

Take care and I'll get back with you soon!

Night all!

Lisa :)

Brayden

2008-04-16T20:11:00.005-05:00

This little guy is Brayden. I met up with him and his mom to do his 3 year old pictures. And, let me tell you, this guy kept my on my toes! He was so much fun and he was fast! What a sweetheart. You really could just melt in those big brown eyes. Hope you like the pictures. It was a fun afternoon!!

Thanks for coming and playing with me Brayden. You did a great job!!

Lisa :)

Drew Sr. 2008

2008-04-15T18:03:00.005-05:00

Did I mention that my seniors are absolutely spoiling me ths year as they have been so much fun! I met up with Drew, his mom and his girlfriend to do his seniors pictures and we really had a blast. As usual, I didn't have a plan until we actually got started but we hit several locations that were perfect for Drew and his style. I thought everyone would enjoy a peek!

Drew, thanks so much for being so laid back and making my job so easy! And thanks for working out the bugs on my computer too!!

See you guys soon!

Lisa :)

Maddie and Creed

2008-04-13T11:27:00.005-05:00

These guys were so much fun and Creed definitelty kept me on my toes. As most toddlers, he was full of energy and expored the new surroundings and I had to run to keep up. Needless to say, we all had a great time and at the end of the session, the swing saved us!!

Hope you enjoy the peek and I know that you are anxious to see the rest of them. have a great Sunday with your families!!

Lisa :)

Mark and Stephanie

2008-04-09T20:10:00.003-05:00

Love is in the air. Tis definitely the season for weddings. These guys tolerated my flighty behavior as we scrambled around in different locations and ran out of sunlight in the end!

I wanted to share a few from the day for family and friends. You guys have been so patient. I swear, I think I have the most patient clients in the world. Hope it was worth your wait!

Have a great evening!

Lisa

Garrett Sr 2008

2008-04-08T23:40:00.006-05:00

This is Garrett who has been so patient in waiting for his pics that I thought I would give him a little bit more of a peek than the previous post. I have had a lot of fun senior sessions lately so there will be more to come along with more kiddoes...can't leave the babies out!

Thanks to Garrett for doing such a great job and keeping me laughing the entire time! Have a great day everyone!

Lisa

Garrett and Cara

2008-04-01T00:41:00.006-05:00

First let me clarify, these guys are great friends but not a "couple" in the sense that we are use to. Anyway, we were out doing Garrett's senior pix and decided to give Cara a call to see if she could join us as I wanted to get some cool shots for an upcoming ad. Needless to say, she got ready in about 20 minutes. If I could look like that in 20 minutes...wow!

Anyway, these guys were so much fun and we covered several locations and had to race to not lose the sunlight and it was beautiful. I am still going through these but thought I would share a few as I came across them.

Garrett, I promise that your Sr pics are coming very soon. I know that you are anxious to see them.

Hope you guys enjoy the pix. I think ya'll may be on to a new career!

Lisa ;)

Jesse

2008-03-29T07:19:00.006-05:00

Once again, it seems that I am always a little..okay a lot...behind on blogging. I guess it has become the norm. Anyway, this little man is Jesse and he has the most incredible eyes. He was not sure about being barefoot in the grass but he hung in there for us. Here is a peek for family and friends. Hope you guys enjoy!

Thanks for sharing your afternoon with me!

Lisa :)

Brent SR 2008

2008-03-13T21:01:00.005-05:00

Okay, this is Brent that I promised to get on the blog a couple of days ago....more like three I think. In my defense, you guys have kept me crazy busy this week so I have been shooting and sleeping basically. Anyway, I know, enough with the excuses.

I got to meet Brent the other day when I shot Lexton's 6 month session. Bless his heart...he had me, his mom and his big sister all to put up with while he was trying to get his Sr pictures done and he did an amazing job. Anyway, here is the peek that I promised.

Thanks for being such a good sport and I hope you enjoy your pics!

Lisa :)

Lexton

2008-03-10T21:29:00.004-05:00

This is Mr. Lexton. He belongs to Melanie who is kind enough to do the awesome painted frames for me. If you haven't seen her frames, drop by the studio and take a look. They are truly a work of art! I hopefully will have framing information up on my website soon...so much to do....

Anyway...there is just not a whole lot to say about this baby. I mean, he is just too precious. Mom and I were worried initially that it wasn't going to be a good session as Mr. Lexton was a little bit grumpy when we first got started. However, he proved us wrong and held out almost better than we did! He is just georgous and was so much fun. What a happy age!! Anyway, I promised a sneak peek to mom so here it is.

I promise to have more pics tomorrow as we also did Uncle Brent's Sr. pictures this afternoon. I promise we did not make him sit naked in the chair!! ;)

Night all!

Lisa

Erin and Mitch

2008-03-09T23:09:00.006-05:00

This is one of my adventurous couples to brave the cold crazy Arkansas weather that we have been having. These guys were so much fun and really sweet together and they tried very hard to not look like they were freezing to death!! Thanks for being such great sports guys and I know that you are getting excited about your wedding next month!! Hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Thanks guys for a fun afternoon!!

Lisa :)

Brittany

2008-03-09T22:18:00.005-05:00

This little sweetheart is Brittany. She is so beautiful and has two beautiful older sisters to help mom out. She did so good...as did everyone. This family was kind enough to let me come into their home and totally disrupt everything....I tend to have that effect on everyone....tornado that is. Anyway, I showed up earlier than we had planned and then I wanted to shoot in the one room where dad was working. He was very helpful and didn't fuss at me for coming in and moving things around.

Anway, these guys did so good and I was very honored to get to do these pics. You guys have been so patient so I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Thanks for sharing your afternoon with me.

Lisa :)

Lainey

2008-03-07T23:24:00.005-06:00

This was another fun session. Miss Lainey kept me on my toes! If I had half of her energy, I might could get caught up on some things...maybe! She was absolutely precious and we played little pony as her toy ponies came to watch. Mom did so great with her outfit and it so fit her personality. This is one more session that was rescheudled today due to the weather so I know mom is anxious to sneak a peek also.

Thanks for a fun day Miss Lainey! You did a Fab job!!

And that really is all for tonight folks!!

Lisa :)

Sweet Caroline!

2008-03-07T23:03:00.004-06:00

Well, all can say on this one is what a cutie pie! This baby was all smiles and full of personality. I loved all of her different expressions. She was definitely a ham! Anyway, we had to reschedule our viewing session today and I know that mom is anxious for a peek...so here you go!!!

See guys, I am trying!!!

Little Miss Payton

2008-03-07T20:19:00.004-06:00

Newborn sessions are very unpredictable...sometimes they go off without a hitch and sometimes the little one totally doesn't like the spotlight. Well, this little girl is going to be a future diva as she did a great job. She was so precious and so tiny. I love getting them when they still have all of the little wrinkles. Anyway, I know that mom and dad are anxious to share a few pictures.

I have to admit I stole the verse of this song from a friend of mine sho used it for her daughter's christening. I pray that she has it on video as I want to see it so badly. Anyway, this verse is from a song "Baby Song" From the album "Zion Sing!" Words and music by: Melissa Champlion ©1998 All rights reserved.

Hope everyone enjoys the pics!

Night all! I promise more to come....I know I have some very anxious moms but this is it for tonight

Sorry! :(

Happy Birthday Ethan!

2008-03-07T19:54:00.004-06:00

This little guy is Mr Ethan and he came to see me to share his birthday cake! We had so much fun and he is such a sweetie. I wanted to share a few from his session. Hope everyone enjoys!

Thanks!

Lisa :)

Brit and Leighton

2008-03-06T16:08:00.006-06:00

I know that I have a few engagement couples wanting to see their pictures but I thought I needed to start with this one since they are family by the way! (and I did their pics forever ago) I guess Brittany was maybe 3 when I first started dating her cousin...my now husband. Anyway, talk about people getting all grown up! I could tell some stories. Nothing bad. She was the center of attention every Sunday afternoon when we ate lunch at Wawa's (yes a whole other story). And has slowly turned into an amazing young woman. Brittany will finish up with her speech-path degree in May and then look toward the next phase of her life.

Poor Leighton has had the tough part of the job. Meeting all of the family and the little ones. They put him through the ringer and then some. He takes it like a man. If you can put up with the Alli and John Todd, you can survive the whole family!!

Okay, getting back to the pictures...we froze our tails off on this shoot and I had layers upon layers. They were not so lucky. We did learn several lessons but the most important one was...when you shoot in the cold, bring plenty of kleenex and Starbucks! (we had neither)

Anyway, guys...thanks for being such good sports! Hope you enjoy the peek!

Long time...no blog!

2008-03-06T10:48:00.007-06:00

Hey Guys!

I know it has been awhile and I apologize. You guys have had me very busy with other details and I have neglected the whole blog experience. After receiving the e-mails lately, I decided I better get back to business! Anyway, I have several to try to get caught up so remember...patience is a virtue!!

This is Aspyn and Kaleigh. I know you have seen them on my blog before. And it is amazing how much they have grown. We got together for this session to do Kaleigh's 4 yr pics and to get a pic for mom's new purse. Mom and I have such difficulty getting our schedules together that we finally met up a couple of weekend's ago for a quick 30 minute session. The girls did such a great job that we ended up having plenty of time!

Hope you guys enjoy!

Mike and Jessica

2008-02-20T21:50:00.006-06:00

I had the great opportunity to shoot this session with a friend and mentor of mine, Mike Kemp. And let me just say, we had the perfect couple to try out some things on. These guys were up for anything and had some ideas of their own. It was alot of fun and I love shooting with someone else and gettng their perspective on things.

Anyway, Miss Jess has been so patient in waiting to get a sneak peek so I hope these are worth the wait!

Having some fun downtown as Mike is teaching me some new lighting techniques. New to me that is!
Loved this location and we certainly didn't have to tell them what to do. This one was with my favorite lighting source...natural!
It really was one of those days where we caught the light just perfect and look at Jessica's eyes...beautiful!
Okay, it was Jessica's idea to go to a cemetary and I was so up for it. I don't know why, but I love cemetaries!! There is such a mixture of peace and tranquility and mystery and apprehension at the same time! Who would have thought there was another cemetary lover in the bunch! So cool!!

Mike and Jessica are big into the Greek life at UCA so we finished up at the Pike house on campus. It really was a great afternoon and you guys were so much fun to spend it with!

Thanks Guys for braving the cold...you can't even tell from the pictures that it was freezing outside!! And thanks Mike K for showing me a thing or to with the remotes. I used this information the very next shoot and now I might become a junkie!

Night all!

Lisa :)

Annabelle

2008-02-12T20:18:00.002-06:00

I can honeslty say that I could not wait to get my hands on this sweet baby. This is Miss Annabelle Reece. I was so honored to photograph her parents wedding and then maternity and now this little one. This family is so precious to me and I couldn't wait to see her. As you can see, she is just beautiful and looks just like her daddy!

Thanks Miss Annabelle! You and your mommy did such a great job!!

Hope to see you soon!

Lisa:)

Hey Guys!!!

2008-02-11T15:26:00.000-06:00

Have a great day!

Avery turns 3!!

2008-02-05T19:53:00.000-06:00

I love the opportunity to watch my clients grow. This is Miss Avery and she gets more beautiful every time I see her. She is a big sis this year so I know she enjoyed this session all by herself as it is hard to share the spotlight when you have had it all by yourself!

Happy Birthday Avery!! Hope your day was the best!!

Hope you enjoy the peek. More to come I promise!

Lisa :)

Michael Sr 2008

2008-02-05T19:33:00.001-06:00

I wanted to try to get caught up on some blogging but am really behind so I will just see how I do. I thought I would share a couple from Michael's Sr session last month. He was such a good sport as I had him in a very different location and we were not quite sure what we were getting ourselves into. Anyway, here are a couple of my favorites!

Thanks for being so patient!

Lisa :)

Little Miss Michelle

2008-02-01T10:13:00.000-06:00

This little cutie is Miss Michelle. I was so excited to get to meet these guys as they were referred to me by a good friend of mine. Michelle was so excited to get her picture made and we had a fun session. She was so easy and I couldn't get her to not smile! I thought I would share a few of my favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks Michelle P for the referral!!

have a great day!

Lisa :)

The Divine Miss M...

2008-01-31T22:01:00.001-06:00

Talk about a little trooper! This is Miss M and she did such a great job. Before heading out to the studio, we started outside in the cold. She was so good even though she was freezing!! Needless to say, we decided to all come in before one of us got pneumonia. That is when the fun started. I thought I would share a few as the weather kept us from doing her viewing session today!

Hope you enjoy your pics!!

I loved it when she decided to get mom in on the action too!!
Thanks girls!! It was a lot of fun. See you soon!

Lisa :)

Baby Isabella

2008-01-24T16:28:00.001-06:00

This sweet baby is Isabella Brooke and she was three days old when we took these. She is just gorgeous and I'm not just saying that because she is my new step-niece. I thought I might need to post a few pics as her daddy has been really helping me out this week with our renovations so I think it is the very least I can do. I will have more to follow but at least these might hold the grandparents for a little bit. Hope you enjoy!

Lisa :)

Gee...I wonder what they are all laughing at. Things to never do...never let your niece "try" to teach you a hip dance move after you have had a glass of wine...or two. And never let there be a video camera around to catch you in action. I still haven't actually seen the footage of this. My sister and I were trying to learn the "lock, pop, and drop" or "stop, drop and pop" or something along those lines. Needless to say, I think we had the drop and pop part down...it was the getting up after that we had issues with. Oh it is so sad to get old and even worse when it is caught on tape! Hope you guys enjoyed your laugh!!!

Baby Drew

2008-01-22T18:36:00.000-06:00

It has been awhile since I've had my baby fix so I thought I would share a few from Drew's session in December. We got a few smiles but I loved all of the looks he gave me. Here are a few of my favs!!

Have a great day!

Lisa :)

New E-mail account...again!

2008-01-11T11:41:00.000-06:00

Hey Guys,

Once again I am trying out a new e-mail account. Hopefully this one will be better. Please use this account for all future e-mails. Thanks and have a great weekend!!

Jen Sr 2008

2008-01-08T10:24:00.000-06:00

I love doing Sr sessions and this one was even more fun as this girl is like a member of our family. Jen has been our babysitter since before she could drive, pet sitter, housecleaner and errand runner. You name it and she has always been there to help out. My kids love her... as do we all. I pray she goes to college at UCA or I'm in trouble!

Anyway, she has been so patient for a peek so I thought I would let her take a look at some. So here are a few of my favs....

Jen you did a fabulous job and I still want to get you in the studio with your new sassy haircut!!

More seniors to come!!

Lisa :)

Happy 2008!!

2008-01-04T21:19:00.001-06:00

Happy New Year!!

Hey Everyone!! I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and a wonderful holiday season. So sorry that I have not blogged and am just now returning phone calls and e-mails as I needed a little time away from work to spend with my family and friends.

I have so much blogging to get caught up on but I thought I would start with this family. They were so much fun and hung in there like troopers. Lake was not really wanting his picture made but he ended up doing such a great job! Their Christmas cards were one of my favorites that I did this season. I will try to post it later. Anyway, I thought I would post a few from their session and I promise to do better when I get back into the swing of things next week!!

Anyway, here is Kristen, Lake and Aunt Jennifer.

We all loved this shot because you can see just a little of mom's hands and red shoe!!

Mom and Aunt Jennifer. These sisters took this shot for their parents for Christmas. They had not gotten pictures with just the two of them in awhile. I thought this was a great idea and now want to get some of me and my sis!

Lake and his mommy!

I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures and I wish everyone a HAPPY 2008!!!

Lisa :)

A long winter's nap....

2007-12-21T19:30:00.000-06:00

I really debated posting this one as my hubby will have a fit when he sees it...but I could not resist. After several nights of very limited sleep, I decided to take a nap the other morning and this is what I woke up to... Who would have thought?

How cute is this? I was so surprised...first of all Scout is not allowed on the furniture...King Louie is not either but he pretty much does his own thing (as cats do). Secondly, Scout's favorite activity is to terriorize the cat so really who would have thought???

In case I don't get to post anymore before Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful blessed Christmas with their family and friends. You guys are so awesome and I am very thankful to have each and every one of you as friends and clients!

Peace,

Lisa :)

One of the things that I love about this job is getting to watch kiddoes grow up. I can't remember how old these guys were when I first photographed them. I know that the youngest was just a baby and had that red hair and blue eyes. I think that is the first thing I asked mom when she called to schedule. Does Josh still have that red hair? And Matthew had the best session that we have had together. In the past, he pretty much just tolerated me and he was so glad when it was over. This year, we really got some personality and I think we all had a great time. I took these the day before Thanksgiving when it was still 80 degrees outside. Who knew the next day would be 30!! Anyway, mom has waited so patiently to see them so here are a few of my favs!

Hope you enjoy!!

The Crockett Family

2007-12-06T16:40:00.000-06:00

I was a little, (just a little), reluctant to do this session as they needed it done at 8 in the morning. Not only am i NOT a morning person...I hate to be cold. Anyway, we ended up having a great time despite the dew on the ground, the cold temp and the time of day....which turned out to be perfect! I thought I would share a few pics from the day as this family is spread out across the country.

Mom and all of her girls!

The sisters. Look at all of the dew on the grass.

The very cold grass that I ended up laying down on to get this shot! The things we do!! I loved this family shot. I think it was my favorite.
The really funny thing is that after we got finished with the shot, Winston got stuck in the tree!!

This is Granddad and Brenden!

This is one of the shots I got as I later turned my camera around to see what Brenden was laughing at!

Thanks guys! It was a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy your pics!

E-mail problems again!!

2007-12-02T18:58:00.000-06:00

Hey Guys,
Not sure what is up but I am having MAJOR problems with the hotmail account and so now I am ditching that one. If you need to e-mail me please do so at; lisa@lisafeltsphotography.com until I can do some research on where I need to switch too.
thanks

The Dog Gone shoot!

2007-12-01T21:36:00.000-06:00

One wild and crazy shoot! Okay, just kidding guys but we had a lot of little details to keep up with during this session. One was I was late! (was not my fault but that is a whole other kiddo story and I don't want to totally embarrass my child publicly so enough said). So back to my story. I was late, which normally is not that big of a deal except that I'm learning that the fall afternoon sunshine doesn't linger much like it does in the summer. So lateness gave me some time issues.

#2 well, it was Drake. Drake had me laughing and his owner...well...not so happy some of the time. Drake is the black lab and he is adorable...and still alot of puppy. Considering the activity around where we were shooting, it was very distracting for Drake. I'll make a mental note when shooting there again with animals...kiddoes etc.

#3 Was Lillie... the little white dog. Now don't get me wrong, Lillie was not distracted at all. Lillie was out and out bored with the whole situation. The challenge was for me to get both dogs to look at me at the same time and keep my mind on what I was doing. I learned that if I made different obnoxious noises, they would both look at me and my humans would laugh. The problem was that the dogs got bored very easy with one noise and I had to keep coming up with new noises. It was very intresting. Thank goodness no one had a video camera.

Anyway, here are a few favs from the day to further confuse mom in her decision making process!

I loved this one of Lacy and Garrett. AND both of the dogs are looking!

Mom loved this one of Garrett and Drake. We could not figure out if he was petting the dog or scolding him. Drake seems pretty happy regardless.

And here is Lacy. No words needed for this one. Beautiful...

The whole family. I tried to make this picture larger for the blog but couldn't figure out how to do it, I'll put it on my list of things to do for January.

Anyway guys, I hope you enjoyed the pics! Thanks for being such good sports. Ya'll did great!!
Night all!
Lisa :)

and babies make 4!

2007-12-01T19:33:00.000-06:00

I was so excited to get to see this family again as they had grown by two. I had done big sisters pictures when she was 3 months old and now we are doing her 3 year! And making their debut for their 3 month sessions are William and Ann Katherine. These guys were so precious and kept us on our toes. Mom and Dad have this twin thing down to a science...or at least made it look like they did! I wanted to post the babies collages as we had done one for Olivia at the same age. How sweet!!

Here is William.
And here is Ann Katherine

I loved this shot as Olivia is being such a big girl. It is so hard to be the big sis and get your pictures made with one newborn...but throw 2 in the mix. William has given up on us and gone to sleep and Ann Katherine has just stopped crying so her eyes are red. And mom and dad don't even look tired!

Okay. I had to post these as mom and dad are having trouble deciding on which shot to use for Olivia's 3 year portrait. SO feel free to give your opinion if you want! I'm keeping silent on this one!

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the pics.

Thanks for stopping by!

Emma and Owen

2007-12-01T19:04:00.001-06:00

I thought I would share a few pics of Emma and Owen that I did recently. I say recently meaning sometime in the last couple of months. I am so behind on blogging and I now realize there is no catching up. I will just get to put a few up here and there and hope that will be enough for now. I did Owen's newborn pictures and his six month and he has changed so much. He went from no hair to the locks you see right now. And Emma, so sweet and beautiful, has already gotten her braces off. And right now she and her mom are at Hannah Montana!

I guess I could go into the spill to say that we desperately tried to get tickets...but now I guess it is good that we didn't as both of my kiddoes are sick and I would have had to go without them! JK!!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures!! and the concert!!

Lisa :)

Jessica's Bridals

2007-11-26T20:38:00.001-06:00

I wanted to post a few pictures from Jessica's bridal session as her wedding is coming up very soon. I met up with her mom, dad, sis and future mother-in-law and another very important part of the family, her pooch! These guys were so great to work with and Jessica looked absolutely stunning in her gown. A Cinderella as every bride should be. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

I hope you enjoy the sneak peek and Christy and I are looking forward to your wedding in a couple of weeks!!

Lisa :)

New E-mail Address!!

2007-11-26T11:31:00.003-06:00

Hey guys,

Due to extreme frustration, agitation, aggravation, etc. I have opened a new e-mail account with the following address:

lisafeltsphotography@hotmail.com

I will still be checking both accounts but hope to fade the other one out by Jan 1 if not sooner. Please use the new address for all current inquires and add this one to your address book.

Thanks and have a great day!!

Lisa :)

Family

2007-11-26T08:53:00.000-06:00

Being a photographer is sometimes really frustrating for the rest of your family. They know how busy you are and yet they want pictures too. What's really sad is that this year, I actually had to schedule them. :( I guess in a way that is good as it means I am busy. Anyhoo, while in Batesville for the holiday, I was able to get some regular sessions and some family sessions in. I thought I would give everyone a peek of my sister, Michelle, and her family. Bless her heart, she had to call and wake me up and then force me out in the cold on Thanksgiving morning.

I loved the location and wish I had access to it all the time. I guess I would if I moved back "home".
I loved this shot of Logan and Tyler. I can't believe how much they have grown. Here they are 13 and 16 and both coming up on a birthdays really soon. YIKES!! I have a picture in my girls room when they were just 2 and 5. My how time flies. Logan was not overly excited about the hunting boots I asked her to wear but they turned out looking FAB and I think they grew on her before the shoot was over.

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the peek. I want to thank my family for being so patient with me and coorperative on such a cold morning with "crazy Aunt Lisa". I also want to wish Logan "Good Luck" as she is off to Lexington this weekend to run in a national cross country meet. Yeah! RUN LOGAN RUN!!

I hope to have other family pics up soon and pics from my other sessions in Batesville and from Jen's Sr pics on Saturday. She did brave the cold! I hope everyone has a great week!

Lisa :)

Baby Dylan

2007-11-25T15:22:00.001-06:00

This little man is Dylan. I know several people who had been waiting to meet this little guy including me. And he surprised us all by coming 4 weeks earlier than planned. As you can see he is soo tiny and soo sweet! But he is doing great and keeping us on our toes. This session was so funny. I think we all got the full bonus of everything Dylan had to give and there was not a dry towel in the place. As I am trying to get some blogging caught up, I thought I would share his newborn collage.

Hope you enjoy!

Lisa :)

The W family

2007-11-24T17:02:00.000-06:00

I wanted to share a few pics of this family as they were so sweet and patient. Sometimes it is very hard to photograph a newborn with an 18 month old but they hung in there like real troopers. I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. More to come as promised.

Here is Miss Shelby giving baby Cooper a kiss. I'm sure there will be much more of these to come.

I loved this shot of Daddy with his kiddoes. They were so patient with Miss Shelby as she was so busy.
Dad even risked his sunglasses being broken for a shot!

Lisa :)

the Polk Boys

2007-11-23T22:38:00.000-06:00

Sometimes when I get a call to do a session and the words "three boys" are in the same sentence, I never really know what to expect. Don't get me wrong. I'm always up for a challenge and a little adventure. Well, I can honestly say that these guys totally took me by surprise. The older two answered all of my questions with "yes maam" and "no maam". They were so polite and so fun. I really could have learned a few things from them. And maybe I did. I think they were a little surprised by me also. Especially when I asked Mom if she would mind if they got a little dirty. How sweet for mom and dad to have such great young men to raise. These guys really were a tribute to their parents!

With nice young men like this around, maybe my girls will be allowed to go on dates when they get older afterall....or maybe not!

Matthew and Sophia

2007-11-23T22:09:00.001-06:00

This is Matthew and Sophia. They were so much fun and so sweet. Matthew has never met a stranger and Sophia, well, finally warmed up to me. I feel like I have known these guys for a long time even though I just met them. We really had a great time and by the end, Sophia was giving me hugs instead of hiding behind dad's legs.

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. I can't wait to see them when they come in. They ordered a lot of different print sizes and some really fun Christmas cards. I also want to give a big "thank you" to Matthew for the wonderful picture he colored for me while I was at his house for their viewing session. Thanks guys for making me feel so welcome! What a great experience.

The Davis Children

2007-11-23T21:43:00.000-06:00

I was so excited to get to meet these guys as they go to the same school as my children. We had a beautiful afternoon and a lot of fun. I have never seen a brother and sister get along so well. They played and laughed and were so kind to one another. It was very refreshing to see and we all had a great time. I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

Merry Christmas to All....

2007-11-23T21:15:00.001-06:00

I just had to post a couple of my kiddoes with Santa. Morgan was going to a late Halloween party so she was in full costume. It was a little strange having a witch with Santa. I guess it could make for some interesting Christmas cards??? Anyway, she was not overly excited to get her picture taken, but she complied just to appease me. It is so hard to watch them get older! :(This next one is of Alli Grace. I loved how she was peeking around the doorway at Santa. She wanted to know how old he was! Here she is telling Santa what she wants. She was so shy, I think she forgot to tell him. Good thing Santa has a way of knowing these things!

Last but not least...Here is Santa and Me after a very busy day. I think we both needed a long winter's nap!

and to all, a Good night!

Last of Santa Day!

2007-11-23T19:03:00.000-06:00

Hey Guys,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As promised, here are the last of the Santa day pictures that we took on November the 3rd. I hope everyone enjoys the pictures and I hope to be able to publish some pics from my other sessions soon. I have been doing a lot of fun family, children and senior pics that I want to share so I'll get too it!

Enjoy!!

Here are a group of cutie cousins. They had a great time for the most part. I love all of the cute PJ's!!

Here are the Bruich boys. These guys did so good and kept Santa on his toes!!

This is Alexa, Jackson and Anneliese. These guys did an awesome job and Anneliese warmed up to Santa pretty quick and we were able to get some sweet shots of them all.

This is Miss Riley. I was so glad to get to see her as I had done her newborn shots and my how she has grown. I had to put this shot up as we really had to work on this one. This baby was all smiles and mom and dad wanted a "pouty" picture also. Well, once we got it, there was no going back! Precious!!

This is the Pelley kiddoes. I loved the pink Pj's for the girls and Noah's green ones. Noah was not sure about this whole Santa thing but he hung in there all the same!

This is Miss Henley, as you can see, she is a beauty. She came all the way from Pine Bluff just to see Santa and she did a great job and we had a lot of fun. Hope you like your pics Henley!Here are David and Lucas. Davild was so calm and loved playing reindeer. Lucas, gave Santa and me a run for our money. He was so funny and it took both of us to chase him down. They both loved reading the book with Santa.This is Miss Ava. What a sweetie. She was so cute even down to her red shoes. She loved looking at the books with Santa also. She was very shy but we managed to get some really sweet shots. Thanks Ava

This is baby Lexton. He has also grown so much since we did his newborn session. How sweet is this?

Here is Miss Chloe. She is so funny and so two! I loved this picture. Her expression tells it all. No matter what we told her, she could care less about seeing this guy!

This is Collin and Autumn. They had so much fun. I got to meet these guys the day before when we did their outdoor session so I hope to have some pictures up from that session soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

2007-11-20T18:31:00.000-06:00

Hello everyone. First just let me say that I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and spends some quality time with your families. Second I'll say...I think God wants me to do the same. I say God because we were leaving town today for the holiday and i had every intention of bring work with me. I spent extra time to burn off the stuff I wanted to work on and needless to say. I didn't get here with it.

SO if you are looking for pictures that are still not up...give yourself a break for a couple of days because I have no way to work at the moment. I know I have some disappointed people out there so I really do apologize.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and I will post some more pics as soon as I get back in town. I also hope to share some pics of all the sessions that I have done in the past few weeks and have just not had the time to post.

I thank you guys for your patience. You are all so awesome! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

Lisa:)

Here comes Santa Claus....

2007-11-14T21:33:00.001-06:00

Hey Guys.. long time no hear hmm...Well, needless to say, I am sorry that I am just now doing some blogging but you guys have been keeping me sooo busy!! Anyway, I thought I would take a little time out tonight to get a few pictures in from the Santa sessions that we did in studio on November 3rd.

Please know that I am not getting to many of them tonight but will try to add a few each day. Also, I am not showing any preference. I will do them in the order they were shot...even with my own kiddoes so that it will be fair to everyone....and all grandparents alike. And since all of the grandparents think that they have the cutest grandkids in the world...and they do...everyone has to wait their turn.

Needless to say it was a wild and crazy day but fun for all...I hope. For those of you wanting Christmas cards, they are also in the processing mode right now. Also, the Christmas frames were/are a huge hit and you can still order one and get it here in time for the holidays!

Okay, without further adieu, here we go....

This is Miss Tatom. She was pretty laid back thoughout her whole visit with Santa.

This is Mr. Taylor. He had a lot of fun but his favorite part was when mom brought out the suckers.

And, last but not least, this is Miss Lydia. She had a lot of fun playing but I loved this shy little smile she gives while coloring with Santa!

This is Larson. He kind of did the rollercoaster thing with Santa. He thinks he likes him one minute and then is not so sure the next! But he loved playing reindeer!!

This is Layton, he was all smiles and then he wasn't so sure when he saw who was holding him...hmmm...who is that?

Okay. This one was hilarious!! I'm not sure what Mr. Kyle was doing here but it might just be the pic of the day!!

This is kind of what I look like when I go to confession.

However, I think I know Tripp well enough to know that he has been good this year!

This is me after confession....okay guys...just kidding but this was too cute.

(although I don't think Mr. Griff thinks so)

This is Mr. Noah. He enjoyed every minute!

This is so sweet. The neat thing is that Kelly did this all by herself and Andy followed suit.

This is Miss Ella. She is just georgous and loved Santa. Everett didn't so much think so!

This is Mr. Connor. He really enjoyed his time with Santa.

This is Miss Grace I think she had a blast and was not quite ready to leave.

And little Miss K just didn't see what all of the fuss was about! However, big brother would have been fine without the man in the red suit!

I know that you guys HATE it when I get sentimental...what is with that anyway...probably has something to do with pushing 40 YIKES! Anyway, as I have been going through these, there are so many moments of excitement, shyness, and childhood joy. ( and a few moments of absolute terror for a few!!!) I really hope we created some good memories for these kiddoes!! AND not nightmares for the rest... I would hate to think that we might be the cause of therapy in their later years!

If you would like to have Santa visit your home, office or church....not other studios...sorry guys he's mine!! Anyway, please visit his website http://conwaysanta.com/. If you have the opportunity to do this for your children, it is an awesome experience for them. We did this 3 years ago and my kids still talk about it.

More to come!

Sarah's bridals

2007-11-05T00:46:00.000-06:00

Last week Sarah and her mom and I took off to do her bridal shots. She had waited for some fall colors and I think we hit it just right. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day. How fun! I wanted to share a few favorites from the day. Hope you enjoy!

Hopefully I will have a few pictures on my blog from this Saturday with Santa. It was wild but it was fun. Thanks to all who came and thanks everyone for being on time. I think we will make this a yearly tradition. A very special thank you to Santa who was AWESOME!!! And to my good friend Rene for keeping things running smoothly. Again, I hope to post some very soon. I have had so many great sessions lately that I hope to be able to post some of them also. However you guys are managing to keep me very busy right now and I so appreciate it. I know that there are a lot of photographers out there to choose from so it is an honor to get to work with you and your kiddoes....and monkeys (more on that later too!)

Thanks for allowing me to do a job that I love!

Have a great Monday!

Lisa :)

Rainbows!

2007-10-28T22:28:00.000-05:00

I had the best time today in Batesville with my viewing sessions. I realize how blessed I am to make a living doing something that I love and meeting such amazing people. We ended up having a collaboration of a couple of viewings so it turned into a mini-party. Maybe I need to consider doing more of these as I think we all had a great time. However, I think we were tired when it was all said and done. Anyway, I feel so blessed to have clients that I can truly consider to be friends. Also, a shout out to my wonderful in-laws for allowing me to come raid the cupboards and for Morgan and her cousins for the yummy cookies. Although it was a quick visit home, it was refreshing.

I also got a great opportuity to sell some of the new frames that we are doing at the studio. I can't wait to see the finished product and I will blog some when they are complete.

For those of you who have been keeping up with my blog...and, yes, I know who some of you are, I had a wonderful rainbow day. I have decided that every day is a rainbow day unless we choose to let the clouds block our view. I know that is something that I need to work on myself!

Sorry for the philosophical blog, but somedays it's just my blog....
Night all!
Lisa :)

Sorry for the crazy font changes. (Katie, maybe I need you to work on that too!) lol

Congratulations!!

2007-10-27T21:50:00.000-05:00

The Toggery in LR and WLR held their drawing today for an 11x14 gallery wrap and session from my studio. Congratulations to Niki Scott. Call me girl and we will get you scheduled.

Thanks to everyone who participated and thanks to the Toggery stores for a great partnership!!

Guys dont forget to get your outfits ready for next weekend. They have tons of cute stuff and Santa is on his way!!

Be on the lookout for future promotions coming your way very soon!

Baby "E"

2007-10-27T21:05:00.000-05:00

As promised, this is Katie's son, aka Baby "E". However, we decided to meet up at the Rivermarket instead of shooting in Batesville. This kiddo gave me a run for all of my money!! When I first met up with these guys, E was asleep and we were not sure how he was going to wake up. As usual, kids are so much more resilient than adults and after a few minutes, he was raring to go.

And GO he did. SO what do you get when you place a toddler on a wall to get his picture made? Three adults holding their breath chasing him alongside the wall. He had no intention of sitting on that wall and it was SO FUNNY to him that he had us right where he wanted us. I am so sure that we were a sight to behold....E thought so anyway.

Our next event was so much fun for everyone as we decided to get on the trolley and what little boy or grown up for that matter doesn't enjoy a first trolley ride. There were times I had to remind myself that I was suppose to be taking pictures as it was so easy to get caught up in his excitement. PRECIOUS!!

Last shot of the day. For me that is. Baby E just kept going and going. He wore me out and showed no signs of crashing. However, I needed a nap!!

Well guys, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and this is the last installment from this Batesville Bunch for now. I will be back to shoot in Batesville on Nov 17th. Just send me an e-mail or call me if you would like to schedule a session.

night all!

Lisa:)

Little Miss Sunshine...third installment for the Batesville Bunch!

2007-10-26T22:25:00.000-05:00

This is Miss Grace. Her mommy and I got in touch while I was on my way to Batesville to do a shoot. Anyone who knows me knows that I love spur of the moment activities so I was definitely up to adding another session on to my day. However, we forgot to ask the most important person and that was Grace. Long story short, she fell asleep on the five minute drive to our location. You never know how kiddoes are going to respond when you wake them up after a 10 minute nap in a strange place with a camera in their face. Needless to say, she did great and we had so much fun!! And, it was another rainbow moment. I know there are a few people wanting to take a peek before our viewing on Sunday, so here you go....

I absolutely loved her smile in this shot. Although she was a little slow to warm up, her smile says it all. What a cutie!!

Back in the jungle we played. I loved this mischievous grin! "Gotcha" she says.

This is one of those shots that makes you count all of your blessings.

And here is one that melts your heart. I hope you guys enjoyed the peek and I can't wait to show you the rest. Thanks for braving the mosquitoes with me and whatever else was hiding where we couldn't see!

I also have to give a shout out to Ms. Katie for being such a great help during this shoot. She really came through in helping me get those beautiful smiles! You will get to see Katie's son in the next blog!!
Lisa :)

Memee's girls...2nd series from the Batesville Bunch!

2007-10-25T21:35:00.000-05:00

If any of you guys have been reading my blog lately, this is another one of my rainbow moments...if you are not sure what I am talking about, feel free to scroll down and take a minute to catch up. Anyway, I am almost speechless when it comes to describing these girls. They are so precious to me and I wish I was around more to just play with them. I first started shooting for this family a little by accident. Caroline, the oldest, was just a toddler. I had been driving around the golf course at Eagle Mountain in Batesville when I came across this gorgeous little girl riding around with her daddy. What caught me most was her eyes. Absolutely captivating. Anyway, of course I had my camera with me and took a few pics and the rest is well...history as they say.

This is Caroline. What a beauty. Those big green eyes and dark hair. She is so big and started kindergarten this year.

Then came Miss Scarlett. She is so funny to me. She loves to explore and is very busy. She is independent and so fun to watch and talk to. She has georgous eyes also...however, hers are brown...

Then came Miss Gigi. I have to admit I don't know her as well as the other two as she has always been the baby. She is so sweet and will follow right along with what the big girls are doing. AND if you can see, she has big blue eyes...

These girls are so precious together! ( mom is probably rolling her eyes right now) But they really were sweet. I can't believe how much everyone has grown and it makes me a little misty eyed to compare these pics with the first ones I did!!

Well Mom and Memee, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! I know you were concerned about the time of day but I think they did awesome!! As for why it was a rainbow moment, I think the pictures speak for themselves. I was very blessed to be a part of this day!

Can't wait to see the new little boy...Yes, that is right. Come November the 5th, these sisters will have a new little brother to dote on and Mommy and Memee might have to call in the reserves!! I can't wait to see what color his eyes turn out to be...lol!

okay guys take care and L, get all the rest you can...your days are numbered kiddo!!
Lisa :)

Miss Matti!!

2007-10-24T14:44:00.000-05:00

This is Matti. I have been privileged enough to do her pictures since she was a sweet little newborn. As you can see, she is absolutely gorgeous. What I love about Matti is all of her expressions. She has always had so many different expressions and she will let you know where you stand. Anyway, I was so glad to catch up with her, her mom and Aunt Pam in Batesville when I was home for a visit. Mom has been so patient in waiting on these so I thought I would let her see a few. Hope you enjoy!

Baby Lexton

2007-10-21T12:07:00.000-05:00

Here are some pictures that I have been wanting to post for a few weeks. This is Baby Lexton and as you can see he is a real cutie! He was so bright eyed and we really had a good session. I think he was just 2 weeks old in these pictures. Don't you just love the wrinkles!!

Have a great Sunday!

Lisa :)

Race for the Cure and Advanced Physical Therapy

2007-10-19T23:31:00.000-05:00

You know they say "when it rains it pours"

Do you know how you have those weeks where basically nothing goes right and you just want it to be over? Well, last week was definitely one of those weeks. I had a wreck in my hubby's truck and, although it was not my fault, it was still a yucky situation. I had been sick and Alli Grace had strep and yada yada yada. I was so glad when Sunday finally rolled around.

Well, this week was just the opposite. Although I didn't find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I sure found a lot of rainbows!! I was honored to be asked to come and shoot Advanced Physical Therapy's grand opening here in Conway. They had asked me to show up early so that I could take some shots of their "Race for the Cure" meeting that was taking place before the ribbon cutting for their business. I didn't realize what an honor that was until I met Carole, their honorary breast cancer survivor. Talk about a neat person. Out of every person in the room, I would have never guessed that she was the one fighting breast cancer. She came in with a smile and was still smiling when I left. I thought I would share a few pics from the day as "Team Carole" heads out tomorrow to pound the pavement!! I know you girls will have a great time and I will be right there with you next year!!

Okay. So there was cake. Really I didn't know about the cake until after I got there. I would have shown up anyhow!! Okay. I have the card somewhere of the girl that made this. I will try to find it and post the info as this was the best cake ever!! And, if you guys will remember, I am sort of a cake connoisseur. You know you get extra bonus points if a cake tastes as good as it looks!! This one pretty much rocked!!

These are the coolest T-shirts that the girls are wearing to the race tomorrow. Too Fun!! I think Ellen said they had 74 people on their team this year. Will that not be an awesome sight. All of them in this t-shirt! I hope you guys win the award for best t-shirt design...and I hope you have one left over...hint hint!

She can have her cake and eat it too! Okay so I made Carole do this...she'll love that I put it up for all to see!!A bracelet given to her by a friend.And the gang from Advanced Physical Therapy Center. These guys are so awesome. Really I have never walked into a place with such a positive atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly. It was a great time and, again, I was really honored to be a part of it.

I hope you guys do well at the race tomorrow and wish I could be there with my camera and my tennis shoes! I also wish you well with your business. I know that you guys are top-notch and your work speaks for itself. Have a great weekend all and I will try to continue with my week of rainbows soon.
