The anticipation of a new life often spurs the creation of outfits, blankets and embroidered gifts. Each time I schedule a newborn session I like to ask if there are any special items that would be nice to include in the photoshoot. For little John Thomas the theme was Winnie the Pooh. He snuggled in […]

Watching families grow is magical. You always seem to forget how small they start when they first are born. Helpless and dependent on you for their every need. You hold them in your arms and marvel at the miracle God has blessed you with. Their tiny fingers curl around yours and all it takes to […]

Sunlight filled the venue warming the beautiful September day in Royal, AR. Twinkling lights and greenery hung from beams, and flowers added splashes of color creating a cozy but elegant feel. Jules’s gown shimmered in the sun’s glow as she glided down the aisle to be greeted by Ben’s eager smile. The ceremony was heartfelt […]

Sam, you have such a heart of gold. Soon after we first met, me as your dorm hall director (recently married) and you as my RA, you blessed us with beautiful fall pictures around the campus of OBU. Then, I received my first DSLR camera for Christmas. I remember sitting on the floor in your […]

There are dozens of songs written about just that. Stopping to […]

Full of energy, wild and free. Peter, Thomas and Jojo ran through the grass, under the the branches of the willow tree and exclaimed over the roaming deer nearby. Their bright smiles had me laughing as I chased them around and shouted out instructions for red light green light. As I looked back through the […]

Sweet little energetic Nora, I’ve had the joy of taking pictures of her from before she was born through her newborn and toddler stages to now when she became a big sister. Leah and Nora, you both look so similar with your adorable cheeks and bright blue eyes. But while Nora was awake and alert […]

If you have ever had the chance to meet me in person, you know that I am not the tallest individual. According to Google I am exactly average, 5’4”. My husband (who is 6’2”) thinks otherwise and call’s me pocket sized. And to put the cherry on top my married name is now Little. My […]
