Stitch Family

I have known this precious family most of my life and just adore them all!!! We got together to do a fall family shoot. There didn't seem to be many fall leaves turning at Hendrix, but it still made a beautiful backdrop with gorgeous colors! We had a few good laughs but made it quick and painless for the guys! Here a few from the day.....

Jazmine
I got to meet my gorgeous baby cousin for the first time a few weeks ago when they stopped in Conway for a visit. So I was happy I was able to grab a few shots of this little beauty! Kimmi...she is beautiful! Love ya'll!!!

MAC is 1!!!

I had my camera on hand for Mac's 1 year celebration on the 4th of July! It was lots of fun with water slides, pool, water balloons, rock band, and good food! But the highlight for me was shooting his first experience with CAKE!!! I'd say he loved it!!! The next week got together to do his 1 year photo shoot and he was one busy little man! We got lots of great images to capture Mac's fun personality and precious little face! Jase and Ash interacted with lil man in much of the shoot and were up for anything....balancing on rocks in tremendously high heels, sitting in the very wet grass, but ya know...you do what you have to for that perfect shot! Enjoy my beautiful family!!!

Morgason kiddos
This is probably the longest post I have ever had!!!...and I still had many more I would have loved to have shared! These kiddos are best of friends with my kids...their mom was my college roomate and still one of my very best friends! This family is beautiful inside and out and I was honored to spend an evening photographing them...we had a fun time! Oh, and did I mention that they are beautiful...just wait, you'll see! Hope you all enjoy!

The Otis Kids
I got together with some precious friends on a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon. Aren't these kids just the cutest! And busy too...they kept me on my toes! We had a great time roaming around downtown Conway! Shout out to Katie for being my assistant for the day! Love you Otis family!

They were intrigued by the mail slot on this door.....I love the curiosity of children!

I'M BACK!!!

Hello friends! I am finally back. I have had lots of sweet emails and comments about you guys missing my postings! I took a long, much needed break from photography....well, on a professional side anyways. I have lots of postings to catch up on...some really, really old. I'll start with my most recent session and work back. I will be taking only one session at a time so bare with me as I get a schedule worked out....I want to be mommy and wife first, photographer second! Thank you for your patience with me during this time! Love to all!!!

Zane
There is nothing like the bond between a little boy and his grandpa! I got together with precious Zane for some fun outdoor shots of him and also of him with his grandpa. We met at Cadron Park and had an adventure....we climbed trees, went on a hike, up hills, and down hills. He was full of energy and we had a ball! Thanks for a fun morning!

I know I haven't posted in a veeeerrrry long time and I apologize for that! I took some much needed time off to get some things lined out and spend the holidays with my family! Thanks to the many that have expressed the need to see more pictures!!! You are all too sweet to visit my site so often! There are more posts being prepared so check back. Thanks all!

Precious Leia...
I was so excited to finally get to meet little miss Leia!!! She arrived on Tues after being over a week late. She weighed 7lbs. 8 oz. and was 20 inches long. I've been so anxcious to meet her and, of course, had to snap a few pictures of her sweet little face! Everyone thought she would look just like big brother, Levi....but, that's just not so. She has her own perfect look with her cute nose, double chin, gorgeous pale skin, and perfectly round little face. I just love her already! And as you'll see, Jada was in love with her too! Congratulations to my sweet friends, Richard, Anne, and Levi!!!

2008-09-26T09:04:00.000-07:00

Sweet Baby Mac
Isn't he just precious!!! These some of the images from his 1 month shoot. I know, I know, he's over 2 months old now, I have been really behind schedule. But, I wanted everyone to get to see his sweet little face. I love his lips, makes me want to kiss him right now! Love you Mac!

2008-09-25T08:41:00.000-07:00

Hayden and Emma
I was so excited for these little ones to come visit me. These two are cousins and are only wks apart in age. Their dads' are my second cousins (who I appeared on the Bozo show with...isn't that funny!) I was honored when they asked if they could travel here from Jonesboro for me to take their pictures!!! Aren't they just the cutest things...her curls and his eyes...LOVE them! I know moms, dads, and grandparents are dying to finally see these. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks so much for letting me do this, I enjoyed getting to spend some time with you all! And thanks to all of you who have made comments and sent emails and simply just asked for more posts! It means a lot to me! I have been somewhat overwhelmed with the goings of life lately and appreciate that I have been missed! I have several sessions to show you and lots of fun things to show and share from my family life, so keep watch......

2008-08-01T20:40:00.000-07:00

Slaytons
I have known this family since I was a little girl, so it was my pleasure to spend the evening with them. What's fun is that this session was a surprise gift for Mom and Dad Slayton for their anniversary. They didn't even know where they were going or what they were doing...just told to come along and that they would see. I LOVE SURPRISES! So that was really fun to me! It was a HOT evening, but everyone survived and we even got some great shots. This family laughs, A LOT, and it makes my job sooo much more fun when I get to see the joy and laughter that a family shares! Thank you all and I hope you enjoy!

Please don't kill me for sharing this outtake. I just had to...I loved it! It shows what it's like between the REAL shots. Baby pulling out the hair bow, making sure the lil ones don't fall in the fountain, adults misbehaving (Joey)....I love it!! Thanks, guys, for making me laugh!

2008-07-30T08:32:00.000-07:00

The Pierces
I enjoyed getting to photograph my sweet friends and their precious twins! They are growing so fast, I can hardly believe it!!! They are 6 months old and have the sweetest little expressions at this age. Thanks you guys for letting me capture this stage in your lives! Love ya'll!

2008-07-12T09:17:00.000-07:00

Baby Cole
How cute is he? And very modest...it was so funny, he didn't like to not have clothes or a blanket on. His mom had warned me of that, and she wasn't kidding. But, as long as he was covered, he felt great! I enjoyed seeing this new mom and dad adore their baby boy. Thank you for having me in your home, I hope you enjoy these images!

2008-07-12T08:47:00.000-07:00

Need More Mac?
I just had to show you a few more pictures of my sweet nephew. He's is one precious little boy! I was so excited when Jason sent me this first picture of Mac in his "going home from the hospital" outfit....because it's the one I had given to him. Jason told me that Mac just loves his beanie hat and wants to wear it all the time (like he has a say-so)...but anyways, it makes an auntie proud!!! Ha!

And here are Kane, Kimbrow, and Jada meeting their cousin for the first time, can you tell they are excited?! They each didn't want to give up their turn for the other. And have constantly been asking for the next time they can go see him and hold him! It means so much to me to see them love him so naturally at first sight!
We are so glad you are here Baby Mac!!!!!

What a fun and amazing day!!! I am so proud to introduce you all to my nephew, "lil mac"!!! Ashley did an amazing job as she labored for 13 hours before this lil man chose to grace us with his sweet presence! What a joy to see God bless our family with this precious miracle! Thanks to all who prayed for them on this day, Ashley and Mac are both doing great! I can't wait to show you more of our new little addition! God Bless!

I am one very proud Aunti!!!!!!

Lil Mac is on his way....
I am sooo excited that in only a few days I will take on a new title...I'm going to be "Aunt Jen"!!! It was my honor to capture this time for my brother, Jason and his wife, Ashley as they anticipate the arrival of thier first baby. They are both such beautiful people that it made this job really easy! Please pray for them as they enter this new chapter in their lives. Jason and Ashley, I know that you will be amazing parents and I can't wait to meet your little man!

Beautiful Lauren

I love and fear firsts in photography! This was my first experience in shooting headshots and I loved it even more than I expected I would...it was so much fun! These images are for the photogenic category in an upcoming pageant that Lauren is competing in. She is a beautiful and talented girl and I know that God will use her to do amazing things with her life. Thanks to Kristi for being my assistant and to Lauren's mom Tammy for coming along to help us get just the right shots. I had such a fun time with you all and I can't wait to hear good results from the pageant, I know Lauren will do well!

2008-07-02T14:50:00.000-07:00

London has arrived...
My sweet friends, Jenny and Thomas, have welcomed another sweet baby girl into their family.
Introducing...London Faith Cabantac...6lbs.7oz.19in!!! I snapped this image when she was only a few hours old at the hospital and wanted everyone to see how precious her little face is...another wonderful blessing from God!

2008-06-20T00:03:00.000-07:00

Isaac and Andrew
Aren't these guys such cuties!! Poor guys were real troopers....it was like 100 degrees and little man had been really sick. I felt so bad for asking them to preform, but we got some good shots as quickly as we could and called it a day! Thanks big guys for putting up with me!!! My goal was to get this post up before going to bed...and I am accomplishing that goal, only it's 2AM!!! So I am just sharing a few of my favorites tonight...enjoy!

2008-06-17T11:11:00.000-07:00

Madden-18 Months
Oh, how fast she has grown. I have been taking pictures of sweet Maddi since she was born and can't believe she's not so baby anymore. She had lots of fun exploring the garden and had me trailing close behind. This is such a fun age as they aren't still for a single second! Hope you enjoy this little preview!

2008-06-12T08:39:00.000-07:00

Giffords
We found several great locations in downtown Conway for this family shoot. We came out with lots of really great images....too many to post. I had the hardest time deciding which ones to even to show you all. I hope you enjoy and have a very blessed Thursday!

I love both of these next 2 shots....and I couldn't decide which I liked better. What's your favorite?

2008-06-09T10:48:00.000-07:00

Audra
I met little miss Audra at Hendrix to capture this fun age. She is about a year and a half and full of life. She is such a sweet one. As you will see, she also has many precious expressions....

2008-06-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

Sweet Baby Ashlin

I am proud to introduce you all to the beautiful Ashlin Taylor. Her mom has been a precious friend to me for many years and was actually a bridesmaid in my wedding. We have lots of memories and I look forward to making many more with baby Ashlin. She had a rough time getting here, but I was so excited that she made it into the world safe and sound, thanks to lots of prayers. It was my honor to photograph her in her new home at only 8 days old. She is an amazing and beautiful blessing.

Look at the newborn wrinkle skin....I LOVE IT!!!

This one is posted especially for Dad!

2008-05-31T22:02:00.000-07:00

Meet Addison
This is one sweet little doll. I so enjoyed meeting this family and apprecitated the opportunity to capture this precious time as they have welcomed baby Addison into thier lives. It was beautiful to see the great amount of joy this little blessing has brought to this mom and dad..they are so in love with her and she with them. It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you. God Bless....

I LOVE these beautiful eyes and eyelashes!!!

Vilonia Kindergarden Celebration
I was tickled and honored when I was asked to photograph about 100 kids as they were recognized for completing their first year of school! This was a fun bunch and I had a great time watching them all sing and celebrate! I wanted to show off a few of the happy students, Colin and Emily. Congratulations all you graduates!!!

2008-05-28T13:48:00.000-07:00

Bakers

This is the sweetest family! My mission was to capture this beautiful family interacting with each other and with their sweet 10 day old baby sister, who they all just adore and also get some individual photos of of the children. I have known their mother for a long time and she is such a sweet friend....I often kept the oldest (Kane) when he was just a wee little one. He was always my favorite little friend to spend time with and even as a teenager, I said "one day when I have a little boy, I hope he is this precious and his name is will be Kane too." So now you know the history of my Kane's name...isn't that fun! And it makes it all the more fun to get to see him all these years later so handsome and grown up. I enjoyed getting to meet and play with all of his younger brothers and sisters. It was a blessing to spend the evening in your home and I hope I was able to capture the life of the Bakers......

2008-05-12T10:03:00.000-07:00

Lil Miss P
I met this cutie pie in Maumelle to capture some images of her for her 3rd birthday. Her dad and my husband grew up together in the same town. She didn't really intend to have her picture taken that day and was pretty sure she could make it through the shoot without smiling, but thankfully we were able to change her mind. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

The first few show her avoiding eye contact and having quite the serious face....

Then she began to warm up.....

And thanks to mom and dad not being afraid to act silly and have some fun, we finally got some giggles and a happy face!!!

Thanks for the fun....hope you enjoy!

My 3 Favorite Things About Being A Mom.....
Words cannot express how blessed I feel to be called a mother, a mom, mommy, mama to these 3 precious gifts from God. Though I feel so undeserving, I am so thankful that God chose and entrusted me with the great responsibility of caring for 3 of His children. I am amazed by them daily and do not express my great appreciation for them as often as I should. Thank you God for blessing me. And to all of you mothers....Have a Very Happy Mother's Day!

2008-05-06T12:59:00.000-07:00

Senior 2008

This is the beautiful Megan! She is graduating from Conway High and we met up to get some fun shots for her. We roamed all around downtown with our entourage...it was quite fun! Hope you guys enjoy!

She wanted a few shots of her with her son Hayden and he was just so precious, I couldn't help but share a few of his sweet face!

2008-04-23T08:37:00.000-07:00

Wesley-9 Month

He's growing entirely too fast. You have seen this little man at his newborn, 3 month, and 6 month sessions....and it is hard to believe he nearly a year old already! He was such fun boy on this sunny, windy day! Thanks for a great time and enjoy your preview!

2008-04-18T14:43:00.000-07:00

Lily Grace

This is the second time I have had the opportunity to photograph this precious little one. I cannot believe how much she has grown since I saw her last. I enjoyed getting to meet all of the family...it was fun to watch the grandparents love this angel so much. She is just the sweetest thing, as you will see!

This is my favorite(double click to see it bigger)

2008-04-17T06:17:00.000-07:00

Goodwins

What a beautiful family! You may recognize some of them from just a few shoots ago, but we were seeking some family shots on this day. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and we captured lots of sweet moments...it is evident that these kiddos love their mom and dad. Thanks for a great time!

2008-03-31T13:41:00.000-07:00

Tinleigh and Eleighana
These girls are just precious to me. Their mom and dad are dear friends of ours and it's an honor to capture images of those you love. Our goal was a photo of the girls in their cutie matching Easter dresses and I think we we came out with several great choices and a few fun extras. Much love to my sweet friends! By the way, I love Tin's expression in this first one...(you can double click to enlarge)

2008-03-21T21:14:00.000-07:00

Milams
I enjoyed getting to meet this sweet family. We had a beautiful and sunny evening to get some nice, spring photos. This little Claire is such a beauty and the happiest little thing. I hope you enjoy your sneak peak and I am sorry for the delay in getting these posted.

I could not choose between color and b/w.....

2008-03-21T21:10:00.000-07:00

The Jamesons
This family is so special to me, so I was tickled pink when I got a call from Mississippi asking me to shoot some pictures while they were in town visiting. I have known the mother and grandmother of these children nearly my whole life and they have such a special place in my heart. As you can tell they have beautiful children, but they are all just as precious on the inside. I am blessed to call you friends and honored for the opportunity to capture these precious little ones. I so enjoyed spending the morning with you and letting all of our kids play together. Love you all!

I don't often do color selection, but there couldn't have been a more perfect time...I love her smelling this yellow flower!

and then I had to do it again....but, how cute is that?!

2008-03-19T21:31:00.000-07:00

You'll forever be my baby boys...
I want to say a very Happy Birthday to Kane and Kimbrow!!!
It's hard to even know where to begin....as I type through the tears, I thank God that he chose and trusted me to care for these two amazing blessings. My biggest dream, that I had prayed for my entire life, was that God would allow me to be a mother. I never imagined He would bless me beyond my dreams. My life has never carried the same meaning since these two precious boys entered my life. God brought them to me as tiny little 4 pound beings and I have had the privilege of watching them grow into beautiful, strong, loving boys. I adore them for unique individuals that they are and count my blessings everyday!
Kane and Kimbrow, I love you, I am proud of you, and I thank God for you!...Mom

I thought you all might like to look back with me at images from years past. Many of these were scanned in so please excuse the quality. Feel free to leave a birthday message for my big 5 year olds...Enjoy!

The picture above is from the first time they were together after being born (3 days old)....the most precious thing I have ever seen...they inched their way over to each other and snuggled up. My favorite picture and a precious image of brotherly love. Kimbrow(left) and Kane(right)

Anticipating Baby Cade...
I had the pleasure of capturing a special time for my friends Sarah and Eric as they anticipate the arrival of their first baby boy, Cade Montgomery(such a handsome name). Sarah, you look absolutely radiant and aglow. You and Eric will be excellent parents and I can't wait to meet your little man.

2008-03-12T21:18:00.000-07:00

Blessing from above...
This post is mostly to praise God for the amazing gifts that he showers on this earth. I feel blessed to have such sweet friends as Michael and Leah and even more I feel honored to present their precious son, Brady James, who was legally pronounced theirs by adoption on Tues, but delicately placed in their family by our Heavenly Father. He had a perfect plan for this precious baby boy and I am filled with joy and thanksgiving that He chose you, Michael and Leah. You are amazing parents and I am rejoicing with you! All my love...

2008-03-06T13:36:00.000-08:00

SNOW DAY!!!!
We had sooo much fun in the snow on Tuesday!! Daddy got to be at home with us and play which made for two great surprises all in one day! I am thankful that God blessed us with this fun family time! The picture below of Kane was a constant expression on his face! He kept saying, " I can't believe it snowed and it's finally really Christmas!" All the explaining in the world cannot convince him that SNOW does not = CHRISTMAS.....I love this child, hard head and all! The boys made their first snowman (SNOWDEN was his name) all by themselves...I was so proud of them! And of course there was an ongoing snowball fight the entire time....I love the photo of the boys pegging their daddy! I hope you all were able to enjoy the snow, and if not, it looks like you'll get another opportuniy tomorrow! Can't Wait!

These last two are here just because. Jada has decided this week that she actually DOES like to have her picture taken. She keeps saying, "Take a my pichur, mommy....pleeeeaaase!" So you know I wouldn't pass that opportunity up...she's a mess and I love her!

2008-03-06T09:54:00.000-08:00

Pratt Girls
I had some super fun girly time with the Pratt sisters. We took lil Miss B's 1 yr pictures complete with yummy cake! Big sister got in on the girly fun as they twirled in their precious pick tutus....I loved them!!! We had a great time and I think we came out with some precious images....thanks girls!

2008-03-05T23:58:00.000-08:00

The Tapsons
I had the honor of photographing this beautiful family! They recently had 3 new additions, so a new family photo was necessary. We had a lot to accomplish this night and I hope we captured all that you were seeking! Here are my favorites from the night...enjoy!

2008-02-15T10:39:00.000-08:00

I Love Twins

I have a special kind of love for twins that one couldn't understand unless they have experienced being a mother to them! I so miss my boys being this little and precious...I cannot believe that it has been nearly 5 years since mine were this size! Anyways....I enjoyed getting to share the evening with my new little friends Addison and Maddox (and you too Brent and Emily)! Babies truely are a precious gift from God and I am so thankful that He blessed you, Brent and Em, with these angels! I love you guys and I hope you enjoy these! As you will all see, we chose the wrong time of day for these little ones....they weren't too happy with all the interuptions.....

2008-01-29T23:40:00.000-08:00

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.

2008-01-29T23:30:00.000-08:00

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!

2008-01-29T23:00:00.000-08:00

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!

2008-01-29T22:40:00.000-08:00

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.

The Circle of Friends Group Photo with Santa and Mrs. Clause!

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!

2008-01-15T08:46:00.000-08:00

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!

Addison Blakely-4lbs 6oz

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!

2008-01-08T09:35:00.000-08:00

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!

Playing Catch Up!!!
I am sure many of you have wondered what happened to me...especially the parents that are waiting to see their kiddies! I usually post the day after my shoots....well this season is getting the best of me! I have been so behind, but I am finally catching up and so I decided to just have one post of the last 3 sessions. And yes, there will be a few more posts when I get even more caught up. Thank you for your patience and for all of your kind words about my recent work!

First is the Masons....look at this angel! She is just the cutest thing, I really wanted to take her home with me! She was interested in everything around except for me...thank goodness she has a precious profile!

The Watsons....we met to get some Christmas shots and lil man loved the ornaments! Aren't these kiddos just sooo cute!

Hillarious!!!

The Grissoms at their dock on the lake; it was so pretty out there! What a sweet family!

Greyson

I had a great session this morning with a handsome little athelete! We were highlighting Greyson's favorite sports and getting a few shots for mom. You were a great sport..ha..get it?
We have several good shots to choose from. Have a great weekend everyone!!

The Haynes Family

I had the privilege of taking this sweet family's pictures last night in their home. They were so warm and welcoming and willing to let me come in and rearrange their house. These boys were so precious, I could have just taken them home with me. Thanks to Aunt Lynn for her help. These are my favorites from the night, hope you enjoy!

Baby "A"

Little Man "I"

You have a beautiful family! Thanks for inviting me into your home.

The Bakers

Check out this amazing family of 13! Only two of them are married in. Aren't they just beautiful! This mom and dad have done an amazing job with this bunch and I truly enjoyed my time with them. Mom, I have several different options on this first family picture, I just happened to like this one.

First set of twins.....
And yes, another...aren't they great!

You were all so patient and I enjoyed getting to know you. And thanks for easing the pain of my first embarrasing moment as a photographer as I took my tumble from atop that silly table and many thanks to whoever it was that aiding in braking my fall. Hope you all enjoy!

Gram and Sidni

And yes, they are as precious as they look. These two were so great! G was such a trooper and an excellent big brother and lil S....she was on the move, but the smiling and happiest thing I have ever seen. We had a good time and I think we even got all the shots mom was looking for. I love them in black and white.

I thought these last two were just too funny!
Lil S was not too sure about these hats!

The Aultmans

It was such an honor to photograph this fun family. Not only because Bro. Jason and wife Toya have served in many pastoral roles in my church over the years, but also because of how precious and full of life these special kids are! You can't help but smile when you are around them! Thanks for a great morning...I enjoy starting my day with such fun!

I Love the Fall.....
The leaves have been gorgeous and I just couldn't wait to get my crew out for a photoshoot with all of this natural beauty surrounding us. They had lots of fun rolling in the leaves and yes, we all left there filthy....but it was well worth it! If I don't get a chance to blog again before the holiday, I want to say Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for all your support and encouragement....I am thankful for each one of you and want to share how truly thankful I am for the many blessings God has placed in my life. God Bless You All!

Finally....I have had some computer issues....but here are the Cabantacs. We had a great relaxed photoshoot and it was such an enjoyable time for me. Aren't they just the sweetest, picture-perfect family! We were hoping to get one great family photo and came out with a whole lot more! Hope you enjoy..let me know what you all think. And be on the lookout for me to post some Christmas card options for anyone looking. Good day to all!

Look at that sweet face!
I know I already posted this in B/W, but I thought the color turned out pretty cool too!

2007-10-28T16:10:00.000-07:00

So Sweet......
I have plenty of choices from the Cabantac session today, but I just had to post this sweet one...I love the grainy effect it has. I am off to church....will post more later tonight!

2007-10-27T06:52:00.000-07:00

One More.....

A little birdie told me that you guys were dying to see YOUR picture! Well, guys, here you are! Ya'll are crazy!!!

2007-10-26T06:46:00.000-07:00

The Martins

Look at this gorgeous family! We had a really fun time tonight and even some laughs thanks to the crazy guys. These are a few of my favorites, hope you enjoy and thank you, Martins for sharing your family with me!

Having trouble again...between the B/W and color....let me know what you think everyone!

My Kids Again......

I went out again on this gorgeous day to get more shots of my kids with the help of my gracious mom...thank you mom!!! It was busy, fun, and painful (mom and I have the whelps to prove it...we stepped right in the middle of a very large ant hill). It was worth it to me, to get this first shot of Jada! I was asked by Gymboree to send pictures of Jada dressed in their brand clothing...so here she is decked out head to toe! This one is my favorite!

I was so happy to get a real smile out of this little diva, but now I can't seem to decide which I like better...the black and white or the color photo?? I could use some help with this one....let me know if you have a favorite!

I love my blue-eyed boys!

Fun Day With My Kids!

We had such a fun day walking around downtown Conway today, shooting pictures along the way! The kids had fun getting to chose the places and the ways they wanted to get their pictures made instead of being told what to do and how to do it.....I wanted them to enjoy it as much as I do. And it was quite successful I'd say! Hope you all enjoy!

2007-10-01T13:56:00.000-07:00

Another Beautiful Picture Sunday!

I had the honor of photographing two precious families all in one day! It was a gorgeous day, we had a wonderful time, and came out with a lot of great shots. I just couldn't narrow it down to only a few, so I hope you enjoy! Thank you for sharing your sweet families with me!

The Hughes Family

The Hester Family

Sunday Was Picture Day!

I had two shoots on Sunday and what a beautiful day for them! I am going to just post them together...everyone did an amazing job!

Madden....I CANNOT believe you are turning 1. Seems like I just took her newborn pictures. She was so precious and fun and we got some really great shots. Mom and I were so proud of her!

And these are 3month pictures for Wesley and family pictures for the Tapps. It was a fun time keeping baby Wes interested with all the noises and excitement of being outside, but we soon learned that he likes his daddy's singing even better. I hope you enjoy your Black and White sneak peak of our session!

Thanks to these families and all the others who are sharing your lives with me. It truly brings me joy each and every time. God Bless!!

2007-09-15T21:52:00.000-07:00

Go Hogs!

We almost pulled it off tonight! I had a session with baby Wes today and while flipping through his shots, I came across this picture and just had to edit and post right away! Looks like a Hog Fan just like his daddy!

Also wanted to post one of "the crew" from the Razorback party tonight. Thought this was so funny as no one was concerned with getting their picture taken. (We missed Wes in the picture, he was still recovering from his photo shoot today.)

2007-09-05T12:43:00.000-07:00

The Callaways

What a fun family!!! I think we spent more time laughing than we did concentrating on getting a good picture, but all of the laughing made for some happy faces as you can see. We got some really good shots even after being forced indoors by mother nature. Thanks, Rae, for letting me take over your living room. I had a really great time!

Thank you Callaways, for a fun photoshoot! I enjoyed capturing these beautiful faces!

2007-08-30T22:20:00.000-07:00

Emma

Here are some of my favorites from my session with Emma Grace. She did a beautiful job as I had expected. We had a lot of fun! Emma, you are just growing up way to fast.

2007-08-06T12:44:00.000-07:00

My Kiddos

I just felt like showing a few recent pictures of my kidddos!
I know they get so tired of it, but it never gets old for me!

J...feasting on cake!

Kane(smiley) and Kimbrow(serious)

Thank you, Lord, for these precious miracles in my life!

2007-07-22T15:19:00.000-07:00

The Ruhmans

I had so much fun taking maternity pictures with the Ruhmans.
Here are a few of my favorites from the session. Tinleigh, you
were such a pro. You are going to be a great big sis!!!

My First Blog

2007-07-07T21:28:00.000-07:00

I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others. The passion of capturing, by the art of photography, the moments that God has blessed us with. This is only the very beginning for me, but I love what I do and I am grateful for the opportunity and blessing of sharing these moments with you.

I first have to show you my true pride and joy....my babies.

Kimbrow, Jada, and Kane

Laney

These first few pictures are of my precious friend, Laney for her 1st birthday. She and my Jada are only 1 month apart in age, so the moms have named them best friends. She is a doll, I love her.

Sooo Pretty

Madden Page

I couldn't wait to show this sweet little friend of mine. I have enjoyed taking her pictures since she was a newborn. She is a smiley, happy thing and always makes my day.

She is so cute in a tutu.

Big Boy Wesley

He was just a perfect angel and so much fun to photograph. He was ready and willing to do whatever we needed to get the right shot...well, except go to sleep. That's okay, Wesley, you did a great job and you are such a sweet baby. My boys are wondering if you are big enough to play yet. I told them, "Not yet, but it won't be long."

Sarah

This is my gorgeous new sister-in-law! I am so proud to have her in the family!
I enjoyed getting to take some of her bridal portraits. She made it easy because
she is so beautiful!
