Dague Engagement

We did this photo shoot about a month ago and I completely forgot to blog about it. Bret and Kelley's wedding is approaching fast this December! We did Kelley's sisters' wedding back in 2007. And now they (Jennifer & Matt) have a little baby boy.

Bret and Kelley were just plain cute at their shoot. I love "walking poses" for couples and I always try to tell them that they have to act like I'm not there and kind of just "act" in general. It's like your in a movie and you've got to own the show. Well these guys could have won an oscar they were so good at it.
They are also both golfers so we had them take a few swings of the club out in the field by the barn. I couldn't tell who had the better swing, but it sure made for a cute photo!

Congrats Kelley and Bret - can't wait for your wedding next month... I know it's going to be beautiful!

Brooke, Stephen, and Xander

Brooke, Stephen, and Xander came to see us today for a fun photo shoot. Xander loves to throw the baseball around. He is such a fun little 3 year old and my son, Jack, LOVED getting to play a while with him. It's not out of the ordinary for Jack to find us outside and want to jump in a shot or two ... or ten or twelve. :) He saw that Xander had his baseball bat, so he ran and got his new bat from his tee ball set. We got so many great shots of these guys that I told Brent out of 200 photos, we have 190 awesome ones and I couldn't hardly pick which ones to put on the blog. Seriously... the kid knows how to smile so cute and I must have hit the camera button constantly. We had fun!

Carlisle Senior Lana

Lana comes to us from Carlisle, AR. We had a couple reschedules for her shoot due to weather. And I'm glad we waited because we had the perfect day. Lana plays basketball for CHS. She wants to attend college and work in pediatrics. Great job on your senior photos Lana! You are beautiful!! Thanks for coming out to Vilonia to see us. Here are a few sneak peek photos, but there are so many more to see! ...

Avery & Anna Engagement

Avery and Anna are such a sweet couple and they really know how to have FUN together. When we were setting up the flashes, Avery through Anna over his shoulder and said he was ready for photos! They're both A&M graduates and they still love those Aggies! Avery is an Eagle Scout. Look closely at his badges in the pic below - he's not only won the badge for canoeing, but he's won the heart of Anna! :) Thanks guys for being willing to do whatever I asked and for smiling at the same time. Thanks also to Momma Laura for holding the filter! Here's a sneak peek of some of the photos from today.

John Michael and Samantha engagement

We had a fabulous time with John Michael and Samantha last Saturday. We met up with them at the Clinton Presidential library and took some photos around the library and also on the new Junction Bridge right beside it. Then after sunset, we finished up on Clinton Avenue in downtown Little Rock. They're both very sweet and we had a good time chatting about life, how dogs are just like having kids, and Razorback football. We're looking forward to their wedding next June!

Cutie Pie Charlie

I photographed this little guy in his momma's belly about a month before he was born. Now he's here! ... and absolutely adorable. GREAT newborn session with Charlie, Chuck, and Terry. Thanks for letting us photograph such a special time in your lives.
