Here’s part 2 of Sean and Brittany’s big day!
Congratulations Sean and Brittany! Love you guys!
Amanda and Steven are getting married today! We teamed up last week to shoot some great engagement photos just pretty much for fun since they already had another photographer take some for them. I’m so glad we did because these turned out so wonderfully! I’m super stoked about the cool vinyl records and the neat little music shop I never knew existed until now! So I hope today goes smoothly for you and that you enjoy every minute of being united together!!!
Enjoy some engagements while you wait for their wedding photos!
Enjoy!

It was a cloudy day and we were curious if the sun was ever going to come out. Thankfully during the day it peaked out a bit and allowed us to squeeze in a couple beautifully lit shots. We started shooting in downtown Rogers and then shortly ended up on the highway heading toward Beaver Lake, which ironically was just across from their wedding location!
Megan and Benton are both school teachers and it’s funny but neither of them really planned on teaching back when they were in college. They both joined an AWESOME program called Teach for America, where they commit two years of their life to teaching in low-income communities and helping their student achieve. I mean really I have the greatest couples EVER!
I can’t wait for their wedding this June at Creekwood Gardens!
Megan is all smiles because Benton is such a naturally funny guy! I seriously love this couple, not only are they beautiful people but they have good style too!
I just love this little series!
Getting a shot with the Harris building was Megan’s only special request. Her dad worked here for many many years and she basically grew up in this building. She told us a story of how her dad would push her on these carts like a race car. I just love personal touches like this in photographs. It really makes your photography increasingly special to you.
Meet Abby, she’s adorable! I just love how she smiles for the camera!
Not sure why but I just really wanted a picture like this!?!?!
Apparently this pup Abby gets a little jealous when Benton and Megan are loving up on one another! Too cute! Once again I swear this doggie is a poser!
Of course she said yes! Great job Benton!
This is my favorite shot from our shoot!
We caught a little bit of pretty light at the end of our shoot! Lovely!
Enjoy!

I finally (I say that because we’ve been trying to get together for months and the weather just wasn’t having it!) got to meet up with Megan and Benton last Friday! We had a wonderful time shooting around downtown Rogers. I had the privilege of meeting their adorable puppy! I just adore when people bring along their pets! Around our home pets are a VITAL part of our family. What a cute way to add some personality to your engagements! I am going to self claim myself to be the “dog whisperer…..or maybe barker” to get the shot! :) We had a really great time and stay posted for more to come!
Enjoy!

There are so many different directions I could go with my post tonight but I’m going to mention briefly how much I hated having this “ugly” wood stove in my new home! I was used to having a cute little fireplace along with a mantle in which you had a nice elegant focal point in your home. When TW and I first moved into our home I ranted on and on about how I hated having a wood stove in the middle of the house. I told him I was going to figure out a way to disguise it into a fireplace by building a mantle around it. I absolutely hated everything about it! Well winter time came around and he works and works to cut down firewood for us, weekend after weekend, and now I can say thank you for all the hard work you do so I can have a nice warm cozy house and not only that but no frozen pipes this winter! (I’ve heard about several families that have had to suffer this sort of hardship this winter and I’ve gotta say with temperatures scaling all the way up to 1 degree I’m not sure I would be tough enough to handle that!!!!) I am greatful I have a place of constant heat that I can warm my tootsies when they get cold! So this post goes to my wonderful husband, thank you for all the woodchopping and wood hauling you do to make our house warm.
Enjoy

I think I may try to do a Monday Favorites weekly!!! Bear with me! Also today is the start of my 365 so be watching for that later, I’ve got to plan what my first image is going to be otherwise no one will be interested and it also needs to be in it’s own category I believe.
So everyone knows I love love love Etsy. I found this sellers site today and fell in love so I wanted to share a few items with you!
Any kind of headpieces are so cute and super stylish right now! They show a cute idea to have a bridal one as well as ones for each of your bridesmaids!!! Super Cute!!!! I love when my clients take the time to plan for little details like this! The more you go out of your way to be original the better photos you have!!!!
She can even match a set for the bride and groom!!!! How sweet is that!!!
Wow this girl is rockin! She even makes shoe clips!!! What a great idea to jazz up some shoes for your wedding but still be able to wear them after the big day!!!!
I love her shoulder wraps here! What a great idea for a winter wedding! Well any season this would be so romantic and gorgeous, it’s just a little extra warmth for our winter brides!!! :)
These little stickers are super customizable and quickly and easily jazz up your party favors!!! Super cute! Again things like these make your wedding photos that much better!!! :)
These shoe clips are really fun too! These have more of a feather feel than the earlier posted ones! I like how they again add some flair to some plain shoes!!!
