My kids are gorgeous | Northwest Arkansas Children’s Photographer

Posted on March 11, 2010

My children, while often the subjects of numerous snappies throughout the day, are typically my hardest subjects to shoot.  The REAL photos? The ones that I want on my walls?  Yeah , I’m horrible at those with my own kids.  I see some of my photographer friends who have all these AMAZING photos of their children and I’m left to wonder, “What’s wrong with mine?”  Surely I’m not the only photographer whose children run from the camera, give funny faces, look down, pick their nose, or other wise will not give me what I want.  I must say that I’m close to giving up on getting those ‘perfect’ photos of my own children.  I’ll leave that for another photographer when we get family portraits later on this spring. They’ll listen then, right?  Right?  Oh, boy.

The past week was spent just taking fun photos.   Not really putting that much emphasis on getting the ‘perfect’ photo, just a fun photo.  I took Tates out to a field to experiment (sun was way too high for the hour we had to ourselves. We must go back) and got one or two that I really love. I might have cornered Blaze and told him that we WILL be attempting SOME sort of photos while we was over for the weekend.  Paeton?  Well, she never. stops. moving.   I think I might have got a foot in the frame.   And I took some video of the baby, but since I’m very new with video, I’m not sure if that will ever go on the blog!   Not sure yet how to do that.

So, here are some of our lovely little photos from the past week.   I like them.  They make my heart happy.  And that’s all that matters, right?

Oh, one of Paeton! I present to you Paeton with cat and string.

Look at all the dirt on him! That’s some hardcore playing.

This one will now replace the one on the wall that was taken at the very end of 2008. Because that was the last time he let me take a photo of him that didn’t involve a toy cameo or unwashed hair or a really goofy clown face. I’m happy.

He maaaay have been a little tired of the photos.

Tatum and the field.

My kids. They’re gorgeous.

Family Time | Northwest Arkansas Family Photographer

Posted on March 8, 2010

I recently sent out a casting call for families to help me out with some ideas that I had.  This lovely family volunteered to let me come into their home one beautiful Saturday and capture a little bit of their family life.

I love games. We don’t have either of these games but I’ve been requested to purchase them after a certain little girl saw these photos. I think that is a good idea.

And then we moved on to a little bed play and story time. I loved it. The boys were so adorable!

And possibly my favorite of the entire day, some Mama love!

Isn’t this just so much fun? I am in love with lifestyle sessions. I love how they tell a story. I love how they pluck out moments of a family’s life and make them stand still to treasure forever. They make me happy and I look forward to doing more.

H family, it was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you so much for allowing me to come play and experiment! I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek.

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?

I got to spend part of this morning with a happy little guy and his wonderful mommy today.  He is so sweet and did so well for his photos!   Here is a little peak into our mini-session.

Isn’t he adorable?!

Last Days of Warm Weather | Northwest Arkansas Children’s Photographer

Posted on November 29, 2009

I was able to go outside and enjoy the end of a beautiful day with my two oldest girls recently.   It was nice to let them just run around like crazy children while I tried to snap some photos of them. I got a ton of cute shots of Tatum. I also got a lot of cute shots of Paeton running away from me.

Here are a few of Miss Tot.

I think I may need to put her hair in pigtails more often. She looked so adorable.

They did surprise me and let me get this photo of the two of them together. I do believe this will be on our wall soon!

Perhaps right along side this one?

The little stuffed animal is named Peepers. He was a gift from Daddy to Aryah, but Tatum has sort of adopted him until she is bigger.

I’m going to miss the warm weather.

Sweet Baby Of Mine | Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer

Posted on November 29, 2009

Now, first of all, let me say that I’m so glad that I’m much better at this with babies who belong to other people!    My little peanut would NOT go to sleep no matter what tricks I tried to pull.  Out of an almost three hour session, I only got a super small handful of photos that I like. I did, however, get these two that I just LOVE.  And that makes it all worth it for me.

Hard to believe that she was supposed to be born this Wednesday but instead will be almost a month old!  I can’t believe it sometimes.

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!
