Jada at the River Market
Last Saturday, we had a family day in Little Rock. While the boys did their annual "Boat Show Thingy" that us girls care nothing about, I had a blast getting some new shots of my "Baby J"...not so baby anymore :( She was so much fun, socializing with everyone who passed by. Even when I had had enough of the 30 degree weather and headed for the car, she had a crying fit to stay longer...we'll have to go again another time!




Ok, this one, I'll be holding this over her head for the rest of her life. She is such a mess....look at that face. I thought someone might need a laugh at her curlyhead expense.

Andrew
This little man came and hung out with me to shoot his 1 year pictures. He is the youngest of 4 boys so he was really excited that he had the undivided attention of me and mom! He was quite unsure about getting into the cake, but don't worry he got the hang of it! And I have to say that I think he has just about the most gorgeous blue eyes ever!

Us
I have been wanting to post these for such a long time, but my pictures had to take a backseat as I wrapped up all of my holiday photo sessions. Now that I am recovered from the hustle and bustle I want to share my family photos. It's hard to believe that we have NEVER had a family picture made before this day and my boys are nearly 5...that's sad! I'm convinced that I am made to be behind the camera, not 1 ounce of me enjoys being in front of it. But, I decided it absolutely necessary to have a family photo to cherish and I am so glad that I did! I had an amazing photographer and special friend, Christina of CLA Photography , shoot these for me and it was a fun time! It rained on us the second we stepped out of the car so we shot them all in an old barn in which we found a very large dead rodent...sooo yuck! It definately made for some lasting memories! Thanks so much friend, I will cherish these for a long time to come!

The Kimbrows
I am really late getting these posted, too. But, they have to forgive me because this is MY family! We got everyone all together, which is an accomplishment all in itself, and had our 1st family picture made in about 10yrs or more. It was an experience and this shot that we settled on was 1 of about 30, but that's what you get when you have 3 children (Jada is eating candy, by the way) and a comedian of a brother who kept everyone laughing! My family is a great treasure in my life and I tell them all too little how thankful I am for them. I am blessed to have a family full of people who love Christ and each other. I hope you enjoy meeting my family!

I just threw this one in for a laugh, this was supposed to be a hug...looks more like a headlock!
Special thanks to BR (Brian Ratliff) for snapping these for me!

Circle of Friends

Although I have been very behind with some of my postings and especially this one, it was too great to just let it go. I was so very honored to work with Circle of Friends of Conway in as they delivered the annual Breakfast with Santa event. All of the proceeds from the day went to Arkansas Children's Hospital. Kids were lined up through the building to spend some time and get their picture made with Santa and Mrs. Clause. It was such a joy to share in this day and was one of the highlights of my holiday! I wanted to share a few sweet pictures from the day.

Santa and Mrs. Clause were amazing to work with and we talked seriously about having a Studio Santa Photo Day for Christmas 08...check back for details when the holiday season rolls back around!

The Tipton Girls

Aren't these girls just adorable! I had a busy, fun time with them! We started with outside shots and let me tell you they did sooo great considering it was like 30 degrees. Then we warmed up inside with some studio shots. These girls are gorgeous and have such fun personalities! Thanks girls!

Maddox and Addison

I want to say CONGRATULATIONS to my precious friends Brent and Emily. God has blessed them with these beautiful, amazing gifts. I am so proud and thankful for the trust and faith that this couple has placed in God's hands as they, along with a host of friends and family, have prayed for these little blessings for years. Thank you God for making this dream come true!

Maddox James-5lbs 5oz

Please pray for these little ones as they learn to adjust to life out here. They were about 5 wks early and will be in the hospital for a little while. I cannot wait until they are cozy at home and we can have our first real photo session. I love you Pierces!

Wesley
I got to photograph this handsome little man's for his 6 month session. We had a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in downtown Conway. He did a perfect job as you will see! He has grown sooo quickly, seems like I just did newborns of him. Mom brought some great props for us to play with that worked out really well!
