Fort Smith Child Photographer | Andrew turns 3

This little dude came to us for his 3 year portraits, and probably for the last time by himself… he’ll soon be an older brother. He took a little while to warm up, but once he did he was all smiles!

Fort Smith Arkansas Child Photographer | Our Princess Turns 1

So this post may have a few more pics than normal, but hey, it’s our kid. And, if you’re one of our past clients, imagine choosing just 10 from your gallery to showcase, then imagine doing it with 10x as many pictures to choose from!! It’s normal in one of our sessions with a one year old to need some warm up time to get used to that big ol’ black monstrosity of a camera I use… but since she’s had it in her face since day 1, she doesn’t even pay attention to it anymore. As a matter of fact, she actually ignores it - which makes it rather hard to get the headshots that I normally love getting of our clients’ little ones. Then there’s the issue of her mobility. She’s only just turned one, but she RUNS. I don’t mean a brisk jog, she runs… AWAY from the camera. That could be why this session took 2 days!

Fort Smith & Sallisaw, OK Newborn Photographer | Kiefer @ 11 days

Here’s a few from my Sallisaw newborn photo session today (I guess technically yesterday since it’s 245 am). This little guy was one of a very limited number of newborns that actually slept through the *entire* session. He was asleep when I got there and asleep when I left. That’s not to say he didn’t fuss at me a few times for disturbing his sleep… Oh well, he got back at me, or should I say my blanket, in the end. Oh newborns, how cute - but very messy - you are.

Denver, CO Portrait Photographer | Hannah

Hannah came all the way from Denver with her sister and parents just to see us and have their pictures taken. At least that’s what we’re telling ourselves (I’m sure it has nothing to do with being related to these two). You’ll see the images of her sister tomorrow. On to the pics…

Arkansas/Kentucky Baby Photographer | No Thanks…

I think that’s what little Aleah was trying to tell us when I showed up for her photo session today.
Her parents were in town a while back from Kentucky and had a maternity shoot (one of my favorites to this day - the colors and light were awesome).
Unfortunately, they weren’t able to make it back here while Aleah was still a newborn, but still wanted some photos when they did make it back to Fort Smith. I will say that at 8 weeks old, she definitely knows what she likes and doesn’t like. Apparently photography sessions fall in the latter category.
In between the occasional 5 minute cat-naps and the feeding and the fussing, I was actually able to capture this little cutie giving a big ol’ smile to both mom and dad.
Now, a few favorites…
