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…

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…

Arkansas Engagement Photographer | Alexis and Jon Sneak-Peek

DISCLAIMER: We’re gonna have a little fun with this one. But, right off the bat, my apologies to Gnomes, The Beatles, people with inner-ear disorders, farmers everywhere, Grant Wood, and Stan Lee. Leave us a comment if you want to see more stuff like this. Or if you don’t. Either way, why don’t you leave us a comment?

Now, on to the show…
————————————————————————————————–

I’m a bit behind on editing, to say the least, but I wanted to Jon and Alexis a quick sneak-peek of their engagement sessions from a couple weeks ago.

First, meet Alexis…j-a_engagement-facesofalexis
Then, Jon…j-a_engagement-facesofjon

They’re pretty funny. And they can shrink on command…j-a_engagement_im-shrinking

…and multiply…j-a_engagement_0189-91-93-pano-web

But they don’t have very good balance…j-a_engagement-fallen

…which made them give up their dreams of becoming farmers (I hear balance is very important when working around heavy machinery)…j-a_engagement_0173bw

As I understand it, they were very sad to give up their pitchfork and farmhousej-a_engagement_0072

But while Alexis still mourns the loss of her fledgling agricultural career, Jon now believes he has been bitten by a radioactive arachnid which gave him super powers…j-a_engagement_spiderjon

So whaddaya think? Like it, Love it, Hate it? Leave us a comment below and let us know.
A serious post will probably follow this one soon, so check back often!
Thanks!

Fort Smith, AR Senior Photographer | Katie…

I met up with Katie earlier this week for her Senior Portraits in downtown Fort Smith. She has been a ballet dancer for quite some time and of course wanted some shots of some of her dance moves, and of course I was happy to oblige. Let the aerobatics begin…
