Spencer is a senior!

This is my nephew, Spencer. He is a senior at Conway High School. I still can't believe he's old enough to graduate! Great job to Spence... he's always been very photogenic.

Catching Up

I've never been a very good blogger and it I believe it shows. I have LOTS of catching up to do. We've had a summer, fall, and winter filled with weddings, senior portraits, and family portraits! We've also welcomed a new addition to our Ruple family - Grace Evelyn born on Christmas Eve. So much blogging to do... so here we go!
Let's start with some of my personal pregnancy pictures. Brent took these of me and our son, Jack.

Ricky & Merilee Engagement

Merilee and Ricky had their photo shoot in Dallas, Texas in a high rise apartment complex called "The Mercantile Place" It was a rainy day and we had originally planned to do some outdoor downtown photos - but the rain kept us mostly inside. They were troopers though and did go outside and stand in the rain for a few shots. Thanks Ricky and Merilee for being so flexible!

the Story Wedding

We've had so many weddings this summer that we're behind on our touch ups, books, and just about everything. But we're wrapping up the touch ups on this one and I wanted to share a few. These guys know how to throw a party! Bentleys' Dad's band sang at the reception. I don't know their band name, but they were awesome. There was also a few performances by Amanda's brother, Ben... and a surprise performance from the king himself.... Elvis. :) Thanks Bentley and Amanda for letting us be a part of your day - it was a blast!

Cody Vilonia Senior 2011

Cody is a senior this next year at Vilonia High School. He plays soccer & basketball and was a natural in front of the camera. He was very comfortable and really photogenic. Good luck next year Cody!

Bo and Meredith Engagement

Bo and Meredith were a very fun couple to photograph. We took their photos on top of Petit Jean Mountain at the Winthrop Rockefeller Center. It was a beautiful day and the pictures came out fantastic! Thanks Bo and Meredith for a hanging out with us for a couple of hours.... we're looking forward to your wedding day!

Ashley - Senior 2011

We did Ashley's sisters' photos back in 2007. We were tickled pink to see her and their mother again this year for Ashley's photo shoot. She is tons of fun and would do anything I asked her - even twirl in circles in a chigger ridden field. Great job Ashley!
