Alison | Northwest Arkansas Senior Photographer

Posted on October 18, 2009

Alison is probably wondering these are!! No worries, they have arrived. I really tried to get this up earlier, but I’ve been under the weather the last two days. I hope they were worth the wait!

Isn’t she beautiful? And so sweet, too.

I wish I could write more, but I feel the bed is the best for me at the moment. Good night, all!

Three’s a Family | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer

Posted on October 13, 2009

My friend and local photographer, Melissa, decided that we were going to exchange family portraits this year. I was flip-flopping around trying to decide if I should do a session before the baby and show off the belly or after the baby. Well, our schedules were so hard to mesh together that reality decided for me- there is no way I’m getting in front of the camera this swollen. Sure, if it was just baby weight, I’d get over it and take one for the team and take some photos, but this isn’t baby weight. It is waking up in the morning and not being able to see because your eyes are so puffy type swelling. No worries, the doctor is making sure that everything is okay. Believe me, I’ve been down the preeclampsia road once before and would not like to return.

So, anyway, Melissa and I decided to postpone my family’s session until the Spring while going ahead and getting some fun fall photos of her and her boys. Despite neither of the guys feeling in tip-top shape (we all know how men tend to become babies when they are sick ), I think we got some great photos! Yay!

Here are just a few that I’ve snagged for the sneak peek.

My fave so far.

Since they hadn’t had couple photos taken since they were married, we spent a little time focusing on on just the two of them. Awwww.

I can’t wait for my session come spring! It’ll be so fun.

Christmas Mini-Sessions! | Northwest Arkansas Photographer

Posted on October 8, 2009

Wait. It isn’t even Halloween yet and I’m already talking about Christmas cards? That’s right! My maternity leave begins at the end of this month so I wanted to opportunity to offer mini-sessions for those that are asking for Christmas cards. There are two collections to choose from this year. Each will include a twenty minute session, 8-10 proofs to choose from, and one digital file, but one will include a 5×7 digital photo card for you to print off where you wish while the other will include a set of 24 5×7 press printed cards.

The sessions will be held outside over the course of two days, the 24th and 25th, with a few sessions held in the morning and a few in the evening. Payment is due upon booking and is non-refundable due to the limited availability of the sessions. If you’d like to see samples of the cards, have any other questions, or would like to book your session, email cherron@raininglightphotos.com!

Ready to Take on the World | Northwest Arkansas Senior Photographer

Posted on October 6, 2009

I love senior sessions. I haven’t been able to do many, but the few that I’ve done just make me so giddy. Isn’t that silly? I just love feeling the excitement of the start of a new chapter in life, seeing the vibrant personalities emerge from these young adults, and getting to hang out with some really cool kids for a couple of hours. Last night was no exception. I had a great time. Sheldon was sweet, funny, and oh so polite. His mom must have been doing something right! (Oh, that totally rhymed. That wasn’t intentional. I’m not THAT big of a dork!!) He was even nice enough to walk slowly since I’m not able to do much but waddle these days! It all worked out, though, because we got some fun, fantastic images. Here are a few of my faves.

Okay, the one at the top needs some explaining. It’s Sheldon’s reflection in a mud puddle and I just rotated the photo so it wasn’t upside down. I really like how it turned out.

Isn’t he a handsome guy?!

Thank you so much, Sheldon, for such an easy going session. You made my job so easy!
