Bryant Arkansas Senior Photographer | Robyn - Part I

This session was a bit different for a few reasons. First, Robyn and her mom drove all the way from Bryant, Arkansas for her senior portraits. Second, they brought Robyn’s aunt along (not a big deal, just hadn’t happened before).  And third, I was photographed while I was photographing.  See, Robyn’s mom and aunt are both into photography, and after a discussion we’d had while Robyn was getting ready, they’d asked if I cared if they took some pictures while I was taking Robyn’s portraits. They wanted to ’shoot the shoot’ as they put it. It didn’t bother me so they did. It was kinda weird to start with, but I totally forgot they were doing it after awhile. Oh yeah, and four, when I asked if she wanted to be a guinea pig for some new stuff I wanted to try, she said she was game (which was awesome, since most people look at me like I actually want to turn them into a guinea pig when I ask that…)
Now on to part one of a two part series of Robyn’s Senior Portraits (it was rather difficult cutting it down to just two posts)…

p.s.
Perhaps you noticed a slightly different layout, what with the larger images and all. Is it better, worse, etc…? It looks better on an iPhone, but what about your viewing device of choice? Let me know in the comment section below.

pressing ctrl and - (minus key) will zoom out if you can’t see the whole image. When you’re done, press ctrl and + (plus key) to zoom back in or ctrl and 0 (zero key) to reset to 100% view…

Senior Portrait Photographer | Sneak Peek…

Filed under: senior — Tags: , , — AJ @ 1:44 am

Here’s a quick sneak peek of Robyn’s senior portrait session from the other day. She drove all the way from Bryant, AR to Ft. Smith. I hope they think it was worth it (I do, but I didn’t have to drive all that way)…

Fort Smith Maternity Photographer | Destiny’s Fashion Session

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…
