Can You See Me Now?
Posted on February 6, 2010
Ugh. What a week. I had website issues in the middle of the week, which were quickly resolved, but now I am having email issues. I can send mail but am unable to receive any. If you have sent an email to me this week and I have yet to respond, it is because I’ve been completely unaware of the problem. Until I get this figured out, please use my old email- raininglightphotography at yahoo.com
Thanks!
A Little Walk About | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer
Posted on February 1, 2010
Once upon a time, this little (maybe not so little. Maybe curvy) lady decided to round up her cozy little family and take a walk.
Our little neck of the woods is in the process of creating wonderful walking trails that span several cities. The trails are all paved, so strollers and bikes are a real treat. And they are full of lovely curves (like me) and nature filled scenery, so it is completely possible to be walking amid a fair number of people and still feel as if you were all by yourself. I rather enjoy it.
Anyway, so we decided to talk a walk. John had been complaining earlier in the month how I never seem to take my camera out with us anymore. And that is true. I don’t do it often enough. Mostly because I’m still looking for The Right Camera Bag and don’t feel like dragging my current one out and about unless necessary. (Actually, I know where I will probably get The Right Camera Bag, but she currently doesn’t do messenger style bags. Get on the ball, Ketti! 
I don’t know how much longer I can hold out since her new spring line is just so fabulous.) I thought that a family walk would be a perfect chance to take some snappies of my little brood.
Tatum insisted that we bring her bike. The poor thing is really too small for her and we have not yet got her a big girl bike. I’m waiting for spring since I don’t feel like hanging out in the garage and watching her do circles because that is what we would be doing if we got her a bike right now. Soooo, we said yes, she could bring the bike for what would probably be the last time she rides it before it is passed off to her sister.
John pushed the Paeton-head in her stroller and I had the baby all tucked into a sling.
(Yes, I realize that the tag is in focus and the adorable baby is not. You try to manipulate your hand around a DSLR while holding your arm out far enough to get the said baby in the frame. It wasn’t easy. 
)
Why, hello, handsome man, father of (most of) my children.
We stumbled upon some wildlife on our trek. Squirrel, mostly, but there were deer! And deer that were rather used to the humans often found walking through the woods. See?
See the X? That is how close I got to get these.
As you can see, everyone was totally impressed with my wildlife photography exploration.
Ok. Maybe not. But they are so cute.
* You may notice some differences in my editing. I’m using family photos to explore Lightroom. I’m starting to really like it.
Today I
Posted on January 31, 2010
Today I:
- painted my toenails red
- discovered gassy children
- in a moment of brilliance, fed said gassy children some chili
- chased a naked child
- finished editing a session
- sang silly songs with the girls
- kept a fire going to battle the cold…and high propane bills
- discovered that I need more cardigans
- chased a naked child..again
- celebrated putting Aryah into one of her cute little outfits sized 0-3 months. It fit!
- celebrated putting Aryah into another cute little outfit after a diaper exploded poo
- cleaned up poo from the girls’ room since a naked child decided the floor was much more fun that the potty
- wondered when my house became the poo house
- threatened to duct tape clothes on the naked child if she stripped down again
- explained that cows don’t lay eggs nor do doctors cut babies out of their tummies like they do to mommy
- saved the yarn for the blanket I’m crocheting from being unraveled
- caught up on some blogs
- read a new blog that put things into perspective
- researched phones again in hopes that I finally pick one out
- made my bed
- giggled

Look at my sweet nephew. Wasn’t it just yesterday I was doing this guy’s newborn photos? Geez. Now he is a big ol’ rolly polly. I’ve been using him as a guinea pig lately and decided that he could have a moment in the spotlight today for a little announcement.
Do you want to update your wall photos but don’t want a full session? Want to be able to get reward points towards prints or digital files? Then book a Portrait Party! It’s a fun way to get some great photos for you and your friends. Contact me for more information.

A friend recently brought her adorable daughter over for a quick mini-session. She was such a happy baby and gave us such wonderful smiles!!
I think this tutu begged for some fun processing. Isn’t it sweet?

Ooh la la | Northwest Arkansas Boudoir Photographer
Posted on January 19, 2010
I mentioned a little bit earlier on how I’m working on a new home for all of my boudoir work. That project is still a work in progress, though it is close to being finished! In the meantime, I’ve whipped up a little temporary nook for boudoir until their forever home is complete.
Here is a little peek into the first post at the temporary place.

Casting Call | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer
Posted on January 17, 2010
Today I went to my grandparents’ house and spent the day with them. After a yummy lunch and lots of talking, I set up my lights and camera to take a formal portrait of them as well as with my little family. It made me think of what kind of photographs I really wanted to be taking of them. The interaction between them and my children. The laughter and the smiles that were natural and at ease. My grandparents are not fans of the camera so I’m happy with what I got today, but it made me think of how I would want a family session to be. I found myself wanting to focus a little more on the relationships & connections in a family. To give myself the opportunity to experiment a little and give some new ideas a try, I’m officially announcing a casting call for models! Here’s the scoop:
*These sessions will be geared toward capturing one or two specific ideas so participants would have to be willing to agree to one of a few ideas.
*The session will be free of charge and will take place at the subjects home. Prints & products will be available for purchase at regular prices.
*A model release will be required allowing me to use the images on my website, for marketing, etc.
*Standard Raining Light Photography policies apply.
So what types of models am I looking for?
*A family with 2-3 children that are toddler to preschool ages.
*A family with a single baby three to nine months.
*A family with a single baby two to six weeks.
Please contact me for more information on the specific types of images I’m hoping to capture and if you or someone you know may be interested. A 5×7 will gifted as a thank you.
Kassie+Doug say I Do | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photographer
Posted on January 8, 2010
Here is a little peek into the wedding of two of the sweetest people. I was the photographer only for the getting ready and the First Look, but I loved every minute. Kassie had a great sense of style with her details. And her shoes just had to be the best ever. Blue shoes with robots? Yes, please! And she had records as plates. Yes, they are that cool. But the best part? The groom’s cake. Be sure and check it out at the bottom!
Hahahah, isn’t that great! I loved it. I still grin every time I think of it.
Kassie and Doug, I wish you all the best. And remember, you picked a pretty wonderful day to get married! (They were married on my anniversary. )
