Arkansas Child Photographer | Man They Drove A Long Way 4 Pics…

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…

Arkansas Family Photographer | Family of 5…

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…

Greenwood, AR Wedding Photographer | Robby & Jackie

So I guess I’ll try something a little different today. I’ve been wanting to play around with the video capabilities on my camera, but since I’m the only one shooting at a session, or in this case wedding, it’s hard to get the shots needed and get video. But, with Robby and Jackie’s wedding last month, I was able to sneak in a little video. Well, at least enough to put together a short clip anyway. So here goes, let me know what you think in the comment section below…

ps

Matt brought the frame (and the sax) with him to his Senior Portrait Session - So if you want to add something like this to your session, just bring whatever fun props you want and we’ll work ‘em in. I’m still waiting on someone to bring some crazy wig and giant glasses or something…

Fort Smith Senior Photography | Meet Matt…

He’s pretty cool-
Laid back-
Laughs a lot-
Plays alto sax (like I used to)-
Was the Drum Major in band his senior year (like I was)-
Going to college to get a music education degree (like I did)-
Is into photography (again…)-
Has a hard time keeping a straight face-
And can’t give a real smile on command.
But hey, who wants those fake cheesy senior photo smiles? I’d rather take (and see) photos of people actually laughing.
Be forewarned, lots of collage images ahead (and yes we sell prints of collage images, you just gotta ask).
Enjoy…
