I recently drove up to Fayetteville to do some 8 month portraits for little man Jayce. I got there a little early and walked around Dickson street for awhile looking for some new places to shoot. I found a pretty awesome little area with a lot of vines and stone work and a even a little koi pond - all in the middle of a parking lot! I’d lived in Fayetteville for over 5 years and never even knew about the place though I had walked past it countless times. When Jayce and his mom showed up, he had just fallen asleep so he was a bit dazed. Cute, but hard to get a smile from. We eventually got some, but they took some work. After that, we went to a slightly more urban landscape and you can tell by the face he was making, he wasn’t as fond of the scenery…

So, this wasn’t exactly your typical maternity session for about three reasons…

  1. Destiny said she was looking for something different, so she chose me to see what I could come up with;
  2. I was looking to do something different with some maternity portraits (I was thinking something with light);
  3. She showed up to her maternity session in high heels!! (like 3″ heels!)

When I saw those shoes I figured she was going for something with a bit more of a fashion edge to it than you would usually see with pregnancy photos. Hence, I broke out the lights and took her and Rolland to some Fort Smith back alleys (the logical choice, right?). Then I went a little more fashiony (that’s a word, right?) with the editing. So what you get are some unique, edgy, fashionable maternity portraits. Enjoy…

Like from North Carolina!! Well, maybe they were visiting someone in Bella Vista, but we’re gonna pretend anyway.
This little lady was perfectly at home in front of the camera. It usually takes a little while for young children to warm up to the camera, but not this little lady! From the first shot on, they were almost all keepers. The first picture below is only the second shot of the session - and already a smile. By the end of the session, she had me holding her hand as we walked back to the cars. She sure is a friendly (and cute) little thing! And though her brother slept for the first half of the session, when he woke up he was a happy little dude, despite the crazy muggy  heat we had. L family it was nice meeting you and I hope I can photograph these two little cuties again sometime. Enjoy…

I’ve photographed this great family multiple times now. And after a rain cancellation (that ended up being a beautiful day after the measly 5 minute downpour) we were able to reschedule and the day turned out great. Luckily we scheduled it before all this 100 degree 99% humidity stuff got into full swing. Anyway, on to the pics…
