last family of 2009 | northwest arkansas photographer

rogers, ar northwest arkansas fall family photographer

This family had my last opening for 2009. What a special one too as I have photographed them many times and it is always a pleasure.

A note: In months of December and January, the studio will only be open for newborn sessions and client ordering.

Now, that all sessions are completed, I will be kicking into overdrive this week to ensure all deliveries will be made by Christmas. Because of the time crunch, galleries cannot be extended. Thank you so much to everyone for truly the best fall-family experiences yet!

makes my heart happy | Arkansas child photographer

This post makes me so happy for many reasons…A very thoughtful person gave this mommy a gift certificate for a session in celebration of her children – and what gorgeous, beautiful souls they are. It is a session like this that makes me feel once more reconnected & reinspired about what I do for it wasn’t about any new location or prop, any specific outfit, any specific idea or pose – it was about THEM.

This week is all about taking a step back from the routine daily chaos and realizing what blessings you have been given. As I type, I have two of those in their tiny beds…and my love of my life in mine. That’s all that matters and thank you God for each day I have with them.

a beautiful cloudy day | Arkansas family photography

I really love all the texture this session had in it (the leaves, old corroded metal, rocks, wispy grasses, etc.) Mom really wanted some by the old trucks and then it seems the natural progression has been downtown and on to a field. These sisters had such unique and different personalities – each having their own beauty. And even though it was a day full of clouds, they were shining.

In all the fall family craze, I still managed to get this little beauty in for session. She is quite special…you see she is the first baby girl in over 50 years. Yes, she has more than a handful of boy cousins to keep in line. And even more on the way!
