The first time I met this mom was during a camera class that I taught to local mom’s. I’m excited to say her and her husband have been shooting their daily snapshots on manual ever since! I got to know her a little better when she and her son booked a ‘Mommy & Me’ session, and she even wrote as a guest blogger for me once. This session was the first time I got to meet dad. So now we have the whole gang! 🙂

Meet Clementine. She was a hoot! It’s always fun when clients bring along the WHOLE family. 🙂

Last time I photographed this family sweet ‘C’ was just a baby. Now she is this totally adorable little girl who looks exactly like her mama! She brought her Lovie with her, and even make sure he was a part of the family! 🙂

Mama is a very talented artist herself. She paints the most amazing creations! Commissioning her is on my 2014 list! And I do believe her ‘mini me’ sometimes paints right along side. 🙂

This last one is something a bit different from my usual…but it’s growing on me. It reminds me of something pulled from the past.

Matthew’s mom contacted me to have her son’s sweet sixteen pictures done. She knows we’ll be doing senior images in just 2 short years, but this is a different stage of life that she really wanted to capture. I couldn’t agree more! Too often we forget to have our kids photographed between the 12-16 year range. Those years are so fun and so amazing…and so fleeting! Don’t forget this stage in their lives.

I really enjoyed walking around downtown Bentonville and chatting with Matthew. He is such a fun guy. 🙂

This is one of my favorite families. They have been with me for years, and I’ve loved watching their girls grow. These sweet girls never fail to give me great personality and lots of laughs! 🙂 Dad is totally outnumbered…

I met this family during the Frisco Festival in downtown Rogers. I loved them right away. I loved it even more when I met them the day of their session and she told me she just let the kids dress in whatever they wanted! She told me she wanted pictures to show who they really are, their personalities. I had fun. 🙂
