Here's another one of our mini family sessions!  We have been doing more and more of these sessions as the years go by.  Our brides become mothers and they want a photographer they can trust to capture their new family life!  In Nate and Jessica's case, we didn't shoot their wedding - but we did shoot one for close friends of theirs. :)  I love that we've been able to shoot them as a couple with a dog, a couple expecting a child, a couple with a newborn, a couple with a precious bubbly baby, and now a couple with an adorable little toddler.  How completely wonderful!!

We have never advertised as family portrait photographers in the past because we are SO busy with weddings and the labor intensive process of retouching those portraits and designing books and products, etc. for our wedding clients. However, we've been training a new photographer (shout out to Nicona Jones!!) and she is going to be working with us to provide family and children's portrait sessions starting next month!  So exciting!!!  Be on the lookout for a new website devoted just to the families and kiddos! ;)

Thought it would be nice to show you guys some of the smaller sessions we do in between all of the weddings!  We actually shot John and Allison's wedding, so we were excited when they said they were making a trip to our area and wanted us to shoot a family session for them. :)  I can't even tell you how blessed we feel to have such wonderful clients.  Love them!!!

This wedding was so super beautiful!  Scott and Lea were OBVIOUSLY meant to be together - you could feel the love between them coming straight through the camera.  It was wonderful. :)   We had the privilege of shooting their big day at Lydia's Place in Mountain Home, Arkansas.  (BTW - we REALLY love shooting at this location!)  They also had some cool little details at their wedding - think parasols and oragami. ;)  Here are some of our faves - enjoy!! :)

We booked this beautiful little Eureka Springs wedding just a few short weeks before it took place - and we are so thankful that we did! :)  Steve and Sam were such a great couple - Dad and I definitely enjoyed being a part of their wedding day. :)  Here are a few of our favorites - enjoy!
