Maybe you remember this little guy from his newborn photos. He’s now three months old so mom & dad wanted some new pics. Despite it being crazy crowded at the park, and having far more direct sunlight light than I expected (silly ice storm taking out all the trees…), I think the photos turned out great. They sure do grow up too fast!!

So now we present part 2 of Robby and Jackie’s freezing cold engagement session. (Part 1 is here)
After freezing their …ahem, we drove across Ft Smith for some more outdoorsy photos. Probably not your typical engagement photos, but I wanted to try something different. Maybe edgy, maybe modern, maybe just strange, but something out of the ordinary.  Especially the contrast of the dilapidation and the dress clothes Jackie and Robby were sporting. It finally started getting dark (I’d been waiting not so patiently for dusk to finally come), so we broke out the big ol’ softbox and went to work. Aside from wanting to get some great images in the style I love to shoot, I also have been wanting to work with our flashes more outdoors. And since our new softbox showed up the day before the shoot, the timing for trying it out was perfect. But I digress, on to the images…

I’ll say it again, the first senior (or junior) to book their senior session with us that mentions this blog post will get a discount… not saying what, you’ll have to book to see what it is. Oh, and since I’ll be trying some new stuff, that means there will be more images to choose from and your session might go longer than normal (at no additional cost of course) - but hey, it’s another bonus, right?
And just for the sake of…well, just because, I’ll also extend that offer to couples. Mention this blog post and get a discount!

So we’ll start with the first half of Robby & Jackie’s Fort Smith Engagement session, and tomorrow we’ll finish it up with the second half.

For this shoot I was going for a more high-end fashion look and I like love how they turned out. Of course it helps when your models are dressed so well… And when they don’t show how cold they were (like wind chill of 35 degrees or something…frigid!). Congratulations on your engagement and look forward to shooting your wedding in May.

Anyway, this is the kind of shoot I love doing: creative, different, fashionable… so make sure to give us a call if this kind of shoot would interest you too! It would also work very, very well for a senior. In fact, the first senior (or their parent) to mention they saw this and want a shoot like it will get a discount. ‘Cause I’ve got some more things I want to try…

Today, we shot Robby and Jackie’s Engagement Portraits. This is just a little tease. More soon…

It’s 50 minutes later than I’d hoped (it’s now early Saturday morning), but I finally got all of Savannah’s preview up here on the blog. And here she is in all her cuteness…

…but after these two families drove all the way from Clarksville, it wasn’t like we were gonna tell ‘em to just come back another time.
So we found a bridge and for the second time in a week, I pulled out the ol’ speedlight and umbrella and went to work trying to get some great photographs despite the conditions.
Everyone was a trooper, except maybe for the little guy. It was cold, windy, rainy and he’s only four months old. Not a happy baby that day. But who could blame him, it was cold, windy and rainy.
Anyway, it was nice meeting you all, and come back next year when the weather’s nicer and we’ll go to some more locations!!

Enjoy…
