Danielle & Justin //NWA Engagements

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Danielle and Justin are such a sweet and in love couple! I have known Danielle for a few years, we attended the U of A together and graduated from the Dietetics program together in 2008. A few years back I offered to shoot Danielle and her friend McKinzie just for fun, and we did just that, had lots of fun! We came out with some great shots of the both of them. Since then we were able to shoot McKinzie’s wedding last summer at the Botanical Gardens and are super excited that she’s having a baby boy too!!! :) But we’re more excited that we’re lucky enough to have the opportunity to shoot Danielle’s wedding in Conway this October!!! I can’t wait. She is so beautiful! This girl is truly amazing! She works with kids on a daily basis and loves every second of it. And thank you Justin for supporting her in life, because we all know she probably comes home sometimes wiped out and completely exhausted from sharing that love all day! We need more people in the world just like them! Oh and a big congrats to Justin who just graduated from UCA in Kinesiology!

We shot these lovely engagements out at the Botanical Gardens on Friday!

Are they not just the most adorable couple ever?

I just love the way she looks at him!

This is just too lovely!

Love love love love it!

She’s gorgeous…….I told ya so!

I just love this yummy light!

Love.

Thanks you guys you were wonderful!

Enjoy!

Erika and Johnny // Dallas Engagement Session

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Hey there I just realized I posted Erika and Johnny’s pictures on Facebook but I failed to ever blog them!!!! Silly me. So anyways Erika and Johnny. I met Erika while working at Forever 21. She was a pretty quiet girl and I didn’t talk much with her at first, but then I started working in the mornings with her and every Thursday we would have a nice long chat while I cleaned up the jewelry room and she changed the mannequins in the windows. Johnny proposed to her on Christmas by leaving the box in the Christmas tree in their home. So adorable. She was glowing when I got to work the next day! It was so much fun to watch her get so excited and giggly about all the plans and her dress! :) They moved to El Dorado Texas, quite a trek back to Northwest Arkansas so I decided I would meet her halfway in Dallas for something different and fun to shoot. Well as luck would have it, it was extremely cold that day for some odd reason!?!?!?!? That actually turned out to the be weekend we got that 11 inches of snow, yep and we drove back home in it making a five hour trip from Dallas into an eleven hour trip!!!! Lot’s of good memories! Erika and Johnny were really great troopers, they were up for anything as well as putting up with me constantly changing my mind about where to shoot. There is so much to shoot in Dallas it’s a bit overwhelming for a photographer! Here’s some beautiful shots of Erika and Johnny.

Ending with my favorite shot of the day!

Enjoy!

What a perfect wedding day

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Today I had an amazing day shooting Kelly and Adam’s wedding. I’m not going to spill the beans too too much about how much I loved them because there will be a later post for that. My self portrait today was down at Devil’s Den while I was shooting some couple portraits on the waterfall. What a beautiful place to get married and I’m so glad I got to spend most of the day outside today with such a great and loving family!

More to come on Kelly and Adam’s awesomeness!!!!

Enjoy!

Sally and Cole // Northwest Arkansas Engagements

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Sally and Cole. Cole called me and booked an appointment with me where we met at Common Grounds and I got to meet Sally. Cole is an Ag student here at U of A and Sally is in grad school in Little Rock. They will be getting married in Mt. Home at an outside venue (I LOVE outdoor weddings!!!) We had a lot of fun during their shoot. We started in Fayetteville to get the urban feeling images then we headed out to Cole’s family’s farm, I loved shooting there! :)

This first shot is sentimental to them. The day he proposed they were out shooting clay pigeons and he asked her to go get more shells……I have yet to see it but apparently he even made a box out of the shells for the ring!!!! This spot is so I am told about where they were engaged!
