Roberts Engagement

I just realized that I haven't posted about Kallesta and Michael's engagement photos.  They turned out fantastic!  They did such a good job at their shoot a couple months ago.  We did mostly indoor photos, but just a few outside in the heat.  They were great at smiling, serious looks, or whatever I asked them.  Great at posing for pics and just a really sweet couple.  Here are a few from their shoot....

Senior Brandon

Brandon was so fun to photograph.  He came in saying he wasn't excited about photos, but I think he left feeling differently.  He is really photogenic and couldn't help but smile.  We did some "not smiling" looks - but it was hard for him to be serious.  What a fun senior!  Here are a few shots from his shoot....

Mullins Family Pictures

It's always a treat to see our friends, the Mullins family.  JB and Brent have been friends since kindergarten.  It's a riot to see all the faces their daughter, Penny, can make.  She's so much like her Daddy as you can see in the family pic below.  They came on the perfect night - right before a big rain moved in and we got some fantastic clouds in the photo.
They have similar hobbies like we do.... camping, hiking, and biking.  They bike way more than we do - but one day I'm determined to get back into it!  We took some photos of them in their backpacking tent.... they turned out really good with the awesome clouds above them and cute little Penny in the middle.

Here are a few from their session....

Stan & Nicole's Engagement

I've been meaning to post these two for a while now.  Our summer turned into one of the busiest yet and we're a little behind on touch ups and blogging.  Stan and Nicole are getting married in September and we're so glad they've chosen us to photograph their wedding.  They are a very easy going couple and photogenic as well!  We shot these at our studio on a pretty cloudy day.  I had so many good ones that I may end up posting a second blog on this session.  Here are some to get us a good start ....

The Smith Family

We were pumped that Ryan and Sarah drove all the way from Indiana for pictures with us.  Okay, so maybe not "just" photos - but we were in their vacation plans. :)
Too bad our electricity went out at about 5 am and was still not on when they got here at 9 am.  It was one hot day and a hot shoot with no air conditioning.  Wyatt and Ethan were troopers and I know it's hard to be happy when it's blistering hot outside and in! 
I love Sarah and Ryan's style - they're off the wall and fun.  So we tried to make the shoot fun (as fun as you can in 100 degree heat!)  and got some awesome shots!!!  Here are a few of them below...

Senior Kaylee

Kaylee is the catcher for Vilonia High School girl's softball team.  She also plays the flute, goes to church where her Dad is the pastor, and is on the flagline at school.  So there is a photo below that shows all these many things she's involved in.  She has a beautiful smile and beautiful personality.  We enjoyed her photo shoot and getting to know her.  Thanks Kaylee for coming to see us!

Happy Birthday Lou-Lou!

This is Lou-Lou - more commonly known as Louisa ... but to me BFF Lou-Lou.  Tomorrow is her birthday so Brent, Jack, Grace, and I threw her a little party!  We also took a little mini photo session in the studio afterwards. 
Louisa and I became friends at Harding University in 2000.   It's amazing how God brings certain friends along right when you need them.   She's as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside, and I love her so much! 

Sweet Adalyn

What a precious little girl and family.  We've photographed the Jackson family since Sadler was a newborn.  Now, he is one awesome big brother!  Adalyn was 3 or 4 weeks old when we took these photos and I was very impressed with how well she did.  She didn't cry much and even fell asleep for a few shots.  We always love taking newborn photos.... especially a cutie pie like her.  Here are a few from the shoot....
