So Cute It Hurts | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer

Posted on October 1, 2012

Seriously.
These two boys?
The cutest things ever.
It took all my will power not to scoop them up
and run away.

I’m so glad their mom decided to reach out and see if I could squeeze her in last minute!

Her Little World | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer

Posted on January 26, 2012

Toddlerhood.
It’s such a magical, special time, don’t you think?
They are exploring and growing and learning.
Becoming little people.

It’s a special time for Mommies, too.
We have to learn that our babies are quickly becoming something other than our babies.
That can be so hard to do.

I spend a lot of time capturing these little moments in the lives of my own children.
I often find that
they are more precious to me
than the ‘proper’ photo shoots that I set up for them.

I like the photos with the toys.
Messy hair.
Mismatched jammies.
I try to include myself in these photos as much as I can.
I always seem to get the urge to whip out the tripod and remote
on days when I’m still in my jammies, too, with hair just as unkempt.
And I still love the images.
;)

I wanted to capture the little moments that I love so much for another mommy.
Just her and her little person
doing what they do during the day.
Something for her to look back on in a few years, smile, maybe cry,
but ultimately be oh so happy that she can hold something in her hands
that freeze the simplicity of those days
when her baby was still her baby.

So, I put out my first casting call.

This is what happened:

Happy Belated Birthday, Love | Northwest Arkansas Children’s Photographer

Dearest Tatum,

My oldest daughter, my first girl, my beautiful little lady.
I love you.

I love your blossoming creative side.
You can spend hours with your new journal and colored pencils.
Drawing.  Writing.
You remind me of when I was a little girl.

I love your delight in all things magical.
You still believe in magic and faeries and all those things I love.
Believe as long as you want.
(I still do.)

You are growing up so fast and have opinions on fashion and hair.
When did that happen?
Can I stop it? :)

I love your smile and your laugh.
I love the way your eyes light up when something clicks or you get an idea.
You. Are. So. Smart.

I’m sorry your birthday letter was so late.
That’s what I get for having you just before Christmas.  :)

Thank you for being mine.

I love you.

Mommy

You are FOUR!! | Northwest Arkansas Photographer

Dearest Paeton,

You. Crack. Me. Up.

Your imagination, your cute little voice, the stories you tell.
All of it makes me giggle
and makes me oh so happy
that you are mine.

You are my snuggle bug.
More than the other three,
you are more than content to
curl up in my lap,
sit at my side,
get in my way while doing chores.

Your big, huge smile
lights up my life.
It’s contagious.

I love the way you are a little shy at first in new situations.
I love the way you twist your mouth into funny, awkward shapes
when you are embarrassed or unsure of how to act.

Your full on laugh and big accompanying smile
is one of the best things in the world.
I dare anyone not to grin
when you do it.

You are so kind and sweet.
It makes my heart happy.

You make my heart happy.
Every. Single. Day.

Happy Birthday, Paeton-Head.

Love,
Mommy

I love her huge smile | Northwest Arkansas Children Photographer

She was absolutely thrilled by this crystal ball in the garden.
I had to keep her away from stepping into the actual garden many times.
She thought it was magical.

I think she is.
