A Chance in Front of the Camera | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer
Posted on November 17, 2011
The sad reality at times about photographers is that we are rarely in front of the camera.
There are photos of our spouses, our children, our friends and our clients.
But not us.
When Kim contacted me about a family session, I knew exactly how she felt.
She said her last family session was back in 2008.
We couldn’t have that!
(We don’t even want to talk about the last time MY family was photographed by someone other than myself. 
)
It was really sketchy there for a moment.
After following the weather all week and looking like we had a great window,
it POURED just minutes from our session.
In fact, it was still sprinkling when we arrived.
We waited it out.
It was worth it.
I’m so happy that the weather worked out for us.
I had a great time and we got some gorgeous images.
Yay!
There are still a small handful of session available for the Last Minute Minis!
Contact me for details!

Just the Three | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer
Posted on October 4, 2011
Oh, another blog post. I know. I’m on such a roll. 
Or catching up.
Whatever.
This is another family that I have had the pleasure to have in front of my camera numerous times.
Actually, this is only three members of the family.
The older two boys were visiting grandparents this day, so mom and dad decided to just have a session with the youngest.
This makes me happy because we get to have fun with the entire family soon!
And don’t forget that RLP is now booking for fall mini sessions!

It’s such a wonderful thing to see.
And the kids! Oh, the kids.
They are some of THE sweetest little guys out there.
Yep. Told ya.
One of the best families ever.

Home at Last | Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer
Posted on September 14, 2011
Three months.
That’s how long it took for this little guy to come home.
Despite the fact that he decided to arrive well ahead of schedule,
he is perfect.
Before I share some images from his session, I have to share my two favorite things about his nursery.
Coolest things ever, right? I really adored his mom’s sense of style.
My favorite part about this one? The accidental reflection up in the picture. I didn’t notice it until I pulled this up on my computer. Complete adoration in her face.
*sigh*
That last one may be my favorite image so far this year.
So in love.

Look who is bigger! | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer
Posted on August 29, 2011
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking this little doll’s newborn photos. We decided to get together for some family photos since her daddy had to work during the other session, and I am SO glad we did. I’m just in love with these images.
They are completely and totally in love with that girl.
I love how it shines.
And even though she was not very happy to see me, she did give me this little gem.

Full Circle | Northwest Arkansas Baby Photographer
Posted on November 7, 2010
Yesterday was bittersweet. It marked a year since my sweet little Aryah came into our lives a little bit earlier than expected. How can a year have already flown by? It really doesn’t seem possible that the tiny little baby that we brought home weighing only 4lbs 5ozs is now a one year old. That she now cruises the furniture, crawls like greased lightening, or waves bye bye. She is still not walking, and she is still small for her age, but she is such a bright part of our family.
Here she is for her first official photo session with daddy:
And here are a few from yesterday’s session with her first cupcake of her very own.
She didn’t really know what to think of the icing
But she liked the candle.
Mmmm, maybe icing is okay after all.
Oh, sweet, sweet little baby. You are so precious to me!
Fall and Halloween 2010 | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photography
Posted on November 1, 2010
Fall is so beautiful. I adore the changing leaves, the cooler ( but not yet too cold!!) weather, and the beginning of the holiday season. I love all of the oranges and reds and golds everywhere. I love the way the sun filters through leaves. I even love the leaves all crunchy under my feet as I walk across my lawn. In the race for being the best season, fall and spring are completely tied in my heart. I live for them both.
Of course, what is fall without a trip to a pumpkin patch? I actually had grand plans this year. We gathered up a bunch of friends, went to a local corn maze, and I was going to take wonderful photos of us all having fun. Yeah, I sort of forgot my camera that day. We did have fun, but I was obviously disappointed that I didn’t get any photos like I wanted. To sort of ease my aching heart, my family and I planned a small visit to a local church with an adorable little pumpkin market. There were no fancy clothes, nothing really planned, just me snapping happily away as the girls picked out some pumpkins. John even took the camera from me in a rare moment of playing family photographer. I was delighted because I’m not often in the family snapshots since I’m always behind the camera. Yay, John!
And we can’t forget one of my favorite holidays of all, Halloween!! I looooove Halloween. I was able to go to an adult costume party for the first time in years and had so much fun. Not only was it a great time with friends, but I had a blast working on my costume. The actual day of Halloween was interesting because it was the holiday that almost wasn’t. My trusty sidekick, aka My Sister, and I tried to take out six of our seven kids (a certain older child o’ mine decided he wasn’t in to Trick or Treating this year. 
) out for a round or two around the neighborhood. Oh, yes, we tried for an uneventful preparation but that wasn’t going to happen. We had meltdown after meltdowns. Wings were crooked, tiaras were tight, gloves were lost, shoes were also lost, and babies were clingy. There were accidents involving thorns, scary zombies, and two very stressed out mothers. We made it work like good mommies, though, and ended up having a great time.
Here is the one ‘good’ shot we got of the kiddos before we left. We were losing light, they were wiggly, there were some tears, and I decided to go for memory keeping rather than perfection. Sometimes that is the best way to go. Also, here is a snappie of my own Halloween costume. I was a masquerade Queen of Hearts.
I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween and are enjoying this great fall weather.

I have already posted the sneak peek from this session, but it was so fun that I just wanted to share a few more. It was probably my favorite family session to date!

Baby Blue Eyes | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer
Posted on October 13, 2010
Someone is really cute. Someone has the blue, blue eyes of her sister and father. Someone likes to clap, play ‘Big Girl’ (throwing her hands up in the air) and playing ball. Someone likes blocks, eating, singing to us in her sweet little voice, and crawling all over the place. Someone is teething. Someone let me cuddle her for a half an hour in the middle of the night because no other soothing would do. It was really sweet.
Someone turns a year old oh so soon.
