Just a quick post to tell you we’re super busy! I’ve been working hard trying to keep up with everyone’s emails and focusing intently on getting sessions edited and uploaded for all my lovely clients! I really do love you guys!
Let’s just think about where I would be without you………since there’s certain bills I pay vs. what the hubby pays for:
Car less (or driving my old white 1993 Toyota Camry ) , pretty hungry since I do most of our grocery shopping , no one could ever call or text me! , I wouldn’t have internet to post gorgeous pictures and keep you updated! , my baby wouldn’t have his daily meds or be seen by any doctors , I would still be shooting with my Minolta film camera …….. oh my goodness I’m just going to stop that list right there!!!!!
SOOOOOO big big big hugs to all my awesome and patient clients! I love you!
Here’s a few things we’ve been working on!
Adrienne will be graduating in 2012!
Jennifer and Ryan are now happily married
Todd and Ashleigh have welcomed this sweet boy into the world!
Enjoy!

Kate and Patrick met at the University of Maine and have been together for 7 years. They will be getting married back in Maine next year. They moved to our good old state to follow Patrick’s job while he works for a WalMart vendor. Either way we are glad you are here! I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to capture their beautiful engagements for them! I know they already have a photographer but maybe they’ll consider sending me to Maine? I’ve never been past Philadelphia so wouldn’t that be nice?!?!?! :) Ok I’m done dreaming but just keep that in mind if you are reading this Kate and Patrick! ;) We met up at Prairie Creek Marina for some fun nautical inspired shots. The weather was very beautiful as was the sun! Their outfits were perfect…..*small tip: sending what you plan on wearing to your photographer really helps them get an idea of where to shoot or what your style is and makes your images so much more! Kate is so beautiful…… I’m pretty sure I could photograph her all day long and never get tired of it! Congratulations you two and thanks for the opportunity to capture some beautiful shots and enjoy your engagement!
These were so much fun! I love to shoot “styled” shoots!
Enjoy!

This was a very personal session for me! There once was this girl that lived across from me at my first and only dorm experience at UCA. It was the end of the semester and finals were approaching. She went home and we received the terrible news that she had been in an awful car wreck and was now at the hospital and would be paralyzed. I decided against traveling the short distance to Little Rock as I hadn’t known her for very long and it really was a time to leave her with her family and close friends. I never heard from her or saw her again but had often wondered about her and what she was up to. The other day I had a phone call from El Dorado, AR. As I was checking my voicemails I couldn’t believe what I was hearing……HER name!!!! Since I knew she was from El Dorado and she had a very memorable name I knew this was the same girl! I immediately returned her call and she had NO IDEA who I was or that she had called me!!!!!! After a little reminding of myself and my maiden name we both were in shock at the coincidence of her calling me! She could have contacted a million other photographers in our area! Truly this was amazing and I was so excited to get to see her the day of our shoot! We started talking and it was like nothing had changed! She’s such a strong individual and she’s doing big things for those around her! She takes clients who are in the same position as she once was and gives them the encouragement and guidance they need to get started and live independently! She is about to graduate with her Masters Degree from UofA and she lives and drives on her own! This girl has some serious faith and I’m pretty sure the heavens had something in mind when they joined us back together! I’m so glad that my talents and services could unite us and that I could document such a great milestone in her life! Congratulations Renisha you are such a great inspiration!
Enjoy!

Last week I met up with Teri and her two daughters Kate and Britni. It just so happened to be Kate’s birthday and it was such a beautiful day to hang out and take pictures! Kate is such a beautiful young lady and she has been interested in photography for quite some time, well really since I’ve “facebook” known her (this was our first official meet). She contacted me soon after I started to attempt my 365 day self portrait project (for probably the third time) and that’s when I saw her project in action……although she’s super awesome and she actually finished hers! Guess what she’s on round two of what she calls a photo a day for a year! Be sure to stop and check out her blog! Kate is a college student at the UofA and she’s going to be going to Beijing this summer! I can’t wait to see those photos she posts while she’s over there! Teri is a Chiropractor and Britni is studying Sociology at the UofA as well, she has two adorable children that grace the walls of Kate’s blog!
We started out at a local Apple Farm on the east side of Springdale and accidentally got sprayed by something that wasn’t poisonous but wasn’t good for us and shouldn’t really be touched or inhaled according to the farmer. He advised us to wait for him to finish…….once he kept on going down the aisles we decided in the best interest of light that we would risk it and keep shooting! Good thing because we never saw him again! After that fiasco along with trudging along this beautiful pink chair that was missing one leg we headed over to a spot that these gals found. What a find!!!!
A funny little story about this pink chair…..Teri called me the morning of the shoot and began to explain to me all about this chair…..I interrupted her in the middle and asked if it was missing a leg in the back and she said yes! Husband and I just so happened to pass by this same chair the night before on our way home and I mentioned to him that I really wanted to stop and grab it but he wouldn’t let me!
What a great example for Mother’s Day! I know my mom would love it! Email us erikadotson@gmail.com to talk about getting a session booked for your mom!!!!
Enjoy!
