Session Books!!

Time for another product spotlight. Session books are a great way to get more of your images without having to wallpaper your house with prints (though if you want to do that, let us know )
They’re also cheaper than buying the same number of prints individually. And way more convenient than carrying around framed prints for showing off your portraits to friends and family!
Check out the prices on up at the top under INFO-> PRICING - FAMILY PORTRAITURE (email us for the password).

This cute little guy was our first Newborn Photo session of the year. I think it was a great way to start off too! He slept great… until he got hungry, then he was wide-eyed until he and his parents left (even after eating). It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do some natural light newborn photos, but man, now I remember why they beat flash any day of the week! Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy, he’s adorable.

on to the reason you’re here..I love it when they make eye contact!

Back in November I was privileged enough to be asked to photograph Major Jay Spohn’s last flight in the A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) here at the 188th. He was the only pilot chosen from the Air National Guard to fly the new F35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. He will be one of the 12 pilots to fly in the program’s initial cadre. He will *only* get to fly F-15C Eagles’s until the F35’s are delivered later this year. There are more articles on the web here if you’d like to read further. If you check this article, there’s even a picture of me ‘in action’.

And a great big Thank You to Joel of Joel Culberson Photography for letting me rent his 5D Mk ii while mine was in the shop. I shot with our backup original 5D also, but man, if it would’ve been the only camera I had, I wouldn’t have gotten half the shots I did.

And an even bigger THANK YOU to all our service men and women who help keep our nation strong and safe. Thank you for what you do!!

We met up with Sophie & Brady (and their ‘rents) downtown last week to get some good ol’ family photos. It was a bit cool before we got there, but right as we stepped out of the car, it got really cold. Thank you Arkansas river.
Anyway, it made for some cute little rosy-red cheeks on the kids. Gotta love the way their momma dresses them too. Sophie did well right up till the end, until we tried to see if she could model a pettiskirt for us from Baby Chic Boutique. I guess it was just too cold for another change of clothes. (Even the bribe of a candy cane had no effect…)

So it’s crazy busy around here (not complaining) from all the last minute Christmas orders. So I’m just gonna put up a quick preview with a couple of pics with more to come later.
Enjoy…

Last week I was able to go over to Oklahoma (my home state, btw) to photograph this cute little newborn. Of course it had been all sunshiny and bright right up till I got there. Let me tell you, my lights have been getting a workout recently (as have  my slowly growing lighting skills).  Anyway, after setting up all my assorted stuff (and rearranging and cluttering up the formerly spotless living room) little Frasier was ready to be photographed. At the 3-days-old mark Mom & Dad agree she probably won’t be a model. She wasn’t fond of me moving her around much. And she let me know the best way she could… let’s just say that’s why everything we use is washable and the washing machine is always empty before I leave the house for a newborn session! Dirty blankets or not, future model or not, she sure is a cutie! Congrats Mom and Dad and thanks for letting me mess up your home for a few hours 

Now, on with the pics…

from my experience photographing newbies, while incredibly cute, this face usually means it’s about time for a new diaper… luckily, at this point she had one on, unlike later…
