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:

She’s New! | Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer

Posted on January 16, 2012

My sister had a sweet little baby girl last week.
She’s a doll.
She has round little cheeks
and a squishy little face.

I got to pull the Auntie card and photograph her over the weekend.
Lucky me!
And I get to do another session with her and the entire family soon!
Lucky me again!

Here are some of my faves from her newborn session.
Prepare for your ovaries to ache
(if you have ovaries. If you are reading this,
don’t have ovaries, but suddenly find them aching,
please go to the doctor! )
She’s just THAT cute.

You are FOUR!! | Northwest Arkansas Photographer

Posted on November 26, 2011

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

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.

Say what? | Northwest Arkansas Children Photographer

Posted on March 30, 2011

Someone is thirteen.

That can’t be possible.

But it is.

I. Am. The. Mother. Of. A. Teenager.

Yikes!!

He brings me such joy and laughter.

Who else would make funny faces in the mirror with me as we’re

comparing our eerily alike features?

And then laugh at me as I attempt

to dance to a country rap?

This guy!

And I love him oh so much for it. ?

(yes, a country rap. My husband’s newest musical find.)

Be Mine | Northwest Arkansas Children Photographer

Posted on February 12, 2011

My oldest daughter is in Kindergarten this year. This means class parties with fun games, goodies, treats, and laughs.

I decided to make a little Valentine’s bunting and use it in the girls’ Valentine’s Day photos. They had a good time helping me and they also did a great job posing for the photos. Sometimes that is a small miracle.

For the Kids! | Northwest Arkansas Children Photographer

Posted on December 31, 2010

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! I’m happy because my oldest daughter is in Kindergarten and is actually excited about Valentine’s Day. Blaze, being oh so close to a teenager, sort of lost that years ago. Tatum can’t wait to pass out Valentine’s Day cards to all of her school buddies. I will be revealing the special Valentine’s Day shoot with my girls at a later time, but since I was playing around with the details today, I thought I would go ahead and announce this year’s Valentine’s Day special! I already have announced it for the ladies and now it is time for the kiddos! I’m doing something a little different this year. While I will be holding an actual studio day for the minis (date and details still being ironed out), I’m also going to allow this special to be extended as a portrait party, too!

Not familiar with my portrait parties? They are so much fun and a great way to get some updated photos of your children without having a full session. If you are interested in hosting one and would like more information, simply get in contact with me and I would love to discuss it with you!

A custom Valentine’s Day card of your child to pass out? Too cute!!

I spy with my little eye… | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer

Posted on December 21, 2010

..photos from before Halloween!

I was peaking around some cards today and found one that contained images of my two oldest daughters playing in Halloween costumes. I had sort of forgotten about this little session, so it was a fun surprise. I love when something like that happens. It was like a little Christmas before Christmas!

And if you are wondering what in the world is on Tatum’s face, this might shed some light on things.

Yes, that is what she looked like just a few hours before this little camera fun. She was turning herself into a princess. (See the crown?)

(I have no idea what was all over Paeton’s face. )

Christmas is so close! I’m completely excited about it because I think I’ve pulled off a rather fantastic surprise for my husband. I can’t wait for him to find out about it.

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.

Great Day for a Sail | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer

Posted on September 22, 2010

Well, actually, it wasn’t. There was no wind. But it was a great day to take family photos on a sail boat!

It is that time of year when I get to take photos of one of the cutest and bravest little men on the planet. He has grown so much in the last year. And he is just so full of giggles.

Leighton’s parents wanted to do their session this year on their new sail boat. They’ve been hanging out in it every spare moment that they’ve had this summer so it was only fitting that their portraits were there as well.

Here is a little peek into their session.

They are such a beautiful family!! And the love they have for each other! It pours off in waves. I love it.
