Looking for Reps | Northwest Arkansas Senior Photographer

Posted on February 24, 2010

What’s a senior rep? They are out-going juniors who tell their friends about the fun time they had getting their senior photos made with me and earn free prints! A mini-session will be done now and we’ll use those images for rep cards. Rep cards are really awesome little cards with photos of the rep on the front and information about Raining Light Photography on the back. The cool thing about the cards is that they are used to earn free prints or product credit. And once summer rolls around, the reps will get a full session with Raining Light Photography, too.

All you have to do to be considered is send me an email with a paragraph or two about yourself. Tell me about your hobbies, your interests, what you like to do for fun, what kind of vision you see for your sessions. Do you have a fabulous collection of shoes? Own an amazing truck you’ve poured your soul into? Can’t live without your guitar? Been dancing since you were four? Live for sports? Tell me about it. While I’m all about the shy, quiet kids, reps need to be outgoing enough to spread the word about Raining Light Photography and pass out their cards. As long as you think you can do that, come on and apply! Along with the bio, you can also send a small (under 1mb) photo of yourself if you want, though it isn’t required. And tell your parents that you’re interested in being a rep. I’m sure they’ll have some wonderful insight about your best qualities.

Anticipation | Northwest Arkansas Senior Photographer

Posted on November 22, 2009

Sweet Kaity has been waiting oh so patiently for these photographs. She is the senior that I mentioned in my last post whose session took place the day before I was hospitalized. She said that a lot of her friends had done urban sessions and that she wanted nature for her photos. I love the location that we picked. It wasn’t as colorful as it was just a week before the session, but it was still gorgeous and I think we got some fantastic shots. I had a hard time narrowing down a handful for the sneak peek.

Isn’t she gorgeous?

Kaity, I hope you enjoy these and I can’t wait to show you the rest!

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!

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!

I need some models! | Northwest Arkansas Senior Photographer

Posted on January 23, 2009

I am looking for a couple of junior or senior aged boys and girls to play model for some brochures I’m designing. And possibly for school reps for senior photos as well.

Interested? It’s really simple. I would take photos of you in some awesome and interesting locations for an hour or two. Ten images on DVD with a printing release would be given in exchange for your time and the use of your pretty face (so I need a model release signed) for my brochure. You can email me at raininglightphotography@yahoo.com for more information. As I’m hoping for very specific looks to achieve the ideas in my head for this project, please send a photo with the email. The photo should be resized to about 500 pixels on the long side.

Tell everyone you know about it as well!

And I’ll be doing the same thing in the not so distant future with children, family and babies, so check back often!

Cougar Senior 2008

Posted on April 21, 2008

Today was gorgeous and was spent taking senior portraits for Cougar, Jessica’s brother. Cougar is his real name, which I loved. I’m all about the unique names. My son’s name is Blaze, so Cougar seemed perfectly normal to me!

I’m sure there were plenty of times that he thought I was rather crazy, starting off before we even snapped a shot. We were walking over a little creek to get to a spot to start the session when I stepped into a huge mud pile. It covered my entire foot and flip-flop, so I just kicked off the shoes and continued that part of the session in my bare feet. My darling husband cleaned up my shoes for me, thankfully. He is great.

Anyway, here is a quick sneak peek from today. It was a lot of fun.

Gotta love a guy who can wear pink. I love it.

Isn’t this fun? I told him we were going to practice his jumping skills. It was hilarious.

This family was so lovable. They would walk together arm in arm so often today, I knew that I had to try and capture it. I got some other sweet photos as well, but I thought I would post this one tonight. Isn’t it CUTE!

Cougar, it was really fun working with you today. I hope you enjoy graduation and all that life brings to you!

Senior Session 2008 Sneak Peek

Posted on March 24, 2008

I had the pleasure of shooting my first senior session of the year this weekend. Such sessions are always fun, but this one was really special because it was for a sweet friend, a girl I’ve known since she was a klutzy fourteen year old. Now she is a klutzy senior and we had a great time taking photos downtown on a gorgeous day.

I had a hard time just picking a few!! I’ll start with my favorite and just keep them coming.

Miss S, I hope you enjoy these and that you have a fantastic time at graduation and wherever life takes you!
