Cara Erwin Schaefer | Little Rock, AR Bridals

Happy Sunday! Today Cara is flying out of the country for her honeymoon with Boyd; and that means I am allowed to share her bridal portraits! Yay!

We had such a fun time with her mom, sisters and bridesmaids during this session. We all laughed so much and Cara looked like a true princess – it was a perfect day! This girl shines inside and out, and her family is so kind. It was a joy getting to work with them.

Their wedding yesterday was also so wonderful! Rain was originally predicted all day, but it held off until we got to the indoor reception in the evening, so we were able to get a lot of amazing photos outside with her and Boyd, as well as the bridal party – we can’t wait to edit them and show them off! For now, I will share her sweet bridal session that we did at the Terry House! These white blooms only pop up for a very short time each year, for about 2 weeks and we timed these perfectly to capture them for her session.

Leslie Peters Spurgers | Bentonville, AR Bridals

This girl — she is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. And I am not just saying that as a nice thing to say on my blog. She truly has a heart of gold and her love for the Lord radiates every single time I am around her. She is now my good friend Drew’s sister-in-law and I am truly a little jealous of him because of it. I will never have a sister-in-law because Jaison is an only child; but if I were going to pick one – I would want one like Leslie. While we were taking her bridals a few flowers fell from her bouquet and she went completely out of her way to make sure she gave them to a little girl who was in awe of the ‘princess’ in the white gown — so sweet!

She wore not one dress – but two for her bridals! One was hers and the other was a family heirloom. A 137 year-old dress that her mom, grandma, great-grandma (and maybe even further back) wore. It was originally made from drapes and it was the coolest thing! I loved the photos I captured of her and her mom hugging and laughing at the end while she was in the vintage dress- warmed my heart!

I am so thankful she and Steven chosen Jaison and I to photograph their wedding – and thankful to call them friends.

Wedding photos coming soon; for now here are some of her bridals to tide you over!

ps- you may notice a few photos of four-leaf clovers in her hands; her dad has a special talent — he can spot them out of nowhere! It was so neat and a little crazy! We snapped a few to remember the day!

Shelby + Lane | Little Rock, AR Engagements

Shelby and Lane are getting married later this summer and we know based off their engagement session that their wedding will be one for the books! We started their session at the Clinton Library downtown, where their reception will be! And when they brought their Dachshund, Bronx! He was the sweetest little guy ever and cracked me up with his posing! We were blessed with a pretty amazing sunset downtown overlooking the river to wrap up the day!  – everything was so good! We can’t wait until August! <3

Olivia Stone Bundrick | North Little Rock, AR Bridals

To say I am obsessed with Olivia’s bridals is an understatement! She was so fun to work with and so laid-back! When a bride trusts us whole heartedly throughout the shoot, it shows, and I think we always do our best work when we can have fun and be creative — and she let us do exactly that! We had the best time; and this beautiful bride was the perfect subject! Her dress looked like it was made just for her! And her gorgeous bouquet was the perfect pop of spring colors! She recently celebrated her wedding to Jacob in California, and we were honored that she asked us to do her bridals for her before she left for her gorgeous west coast wedding! <3 So thrilled with how these turned out and we are excited to share them with you!

Abbey + Kyle Lusinger | Little Rock, AR Maternity

It’s not every day that your best friend is pregnant; and not every day that you get to photograph her maternity photos! This was the first baby for Abbey and Kyle and Jaison and I could not be happier.

We have photographed so many special memories for them (Christmas photos, the proposal, engagements, bridals, wedding, maternity, birth and now new newborn photos) — capturing these moments have been some of the sweetest times we have all shared as a family; because that is what these two are to us – family.

Kaden Lusinger made his way in to this world on St. Patrick’s Day — a day we will all remember and cherish! We have loved being aunt Callie and uncle Jay and can’t wait to wait that sweet baby grow! We did his newborn photos this last week and I can’t believe it has already been two weeks since he was born! I just thought to myself, oh my gosh I need to share Abbey’s maternity session on our blog because time is flying by! I photographed his birth and that was one of the most life changing sweet moments I have ever experienced.  Loved capturing this sweet moment for Abbey and Kyle & all of their future moments to come <3

Katie Gipson Eagle | Little Rock, AR Bridals

Katie was the sweetest bride! She is in my bunco group and although we knew one another before she booked us for photography, we have became even closer friends throughout her wedding experience and I am so thankful to call her a friend!

 She fully trusted me throughout the whole process, which I am so grateful for and appreciated more than she knows. She was always telling me how much she loved her photos, which was the best feeling <3

She and Brad had a beautiful wedding just a little over a week ago and it was perfect and so beautiful! We had the best time hanging out with them and their friends all day.

Something unique about Katie’s wedding – she had TWO dresses! They were BOTH so beautiful! I don’t know which one I like better so here is a little preview of them both! <3 Love love love! Can’t wait to show off her wedding photos soon!

Chani + Seth | North Little Rock, AR Engagements

We are slowly but surely getting into wedding season and this week we got to photograph such a fun session! I went to college with Chani; when she joined my sorority, Alpha Tau, she quickly became one of my favorites! (and she is a fellow redhead; so that automatically made me love her even more)! And we have recently gotten to know Seth and we think these two are perfect for one another, they are both so sweet and you can tell he is just smitten with Chani!

& When Chani mentioned that she and Seth wanted to bring their sweet fur-baby, Pumpkin to the shoot, I of course was on cloud nine. Seriously in love with this little pup!  We had so much great time hanging out with these two and we are honored to photograph their wedding this July in Northwest Arkansas. For now, these should tide you over until we can share their wedding photos later this year! <3

The Perkins Family | Little Rock, AR Family

We’ve already done another session for Tonya & Shea after this one but this 2016 family session was too cute not to blog (where did the time go)?! We have so many sessions I want to blog, and although I try – it is so hard to blog them all when you’re out shooting and then editing! But today I bring you one of my favorite little families!

This family has my heart – we have taken their photos more times than I can count & each time, it is a joy. I love getting to watch their boys grow throughout our sessions with them. From their wedding day, to maternity shoots, newborns, 6 months shoots and year-old shoots for both little men — we always have so much fun together.

This particular session was Oli’s 6 month session combined with a family session! So excited to finally share! We love you four cuties!

Sydney McGehee |Conway, AR Bridals

Sydney and Matt celebrated their wedding day on September 10th and it was simply gorgeous! Sydney is so easy to photograph & we had so much fun hanging out with her and family while we photographed her bridals. Tanarah Luxe Floral’s touch with her bouquet was amazing as always! & Sydney’s family farm was the perfect setting! Wedding photos from her special day with Matt are  coming soon!

Kelsey + Nelson | North Little Rock, AR Family

Kelsey and Nelson tied the knot in April and we were there to capture their wedding journey every step of the way. When Kels wanted fall pictures of course I was so excited! This is a bride that has become one of my dearest friends and she is just one of those people you know God placed in your life on purpose. I mean, for two people who love our dogs as much as Kelsey and I do; we were destined to be friends! Nelson, Teddy and Kelsey are the cutest new little family and I am so proud to take their first set of Christmas card photos as a married couple! Love you all!

-Callie

Samantha + Matthew Brown | Little Rock, AR Family Photos

We had the pleasure of working with Samantha and Matthew when they tied the knot in April — so when they asked us to photograph their Christmas card photos, we couldn’t have been more excited! We have loved getting to capture their milestones; thank you both so much for everything! It is always so great to see you two! <3

Check out their sweet pups, they were the cutest!

-Callie and Jaison

Leslie + Steven | Conway, AR Engagements

Fall sessions are probably our favorite! Especially when they involve a couple as sweet as Steven and Leslie! Leslie went to school at UCA, where we met her through SOS (student orientation staff  – which we take photos for every August and spend an entire week documenting their welcome week adventures at UCA)  and we loved her automatically! And Steven, he is such an upstanding guy, and just awesome!

Basically we are totally crushing on this couple and we aren’t even afraid to admit it! Their outfits, that emerald green shirt with her hair — perfection! We can’t wait for their wedding next April in NWA! Love you both to the moon! <3

Kaylee + Dakota Weatherly | Roland, AR Wedding

 

Kaylee and Dokota’s wedding looked like something out of a southern wedding magazine! She looked like a princess and this was such a special week for her family! This doubled as the week that her niece was born, sweet Charlee made her arrival at the perfect time to take part in the wedding festivities! We got to do sweet Charlee’s newborn photos shortly after this day, getting the opportunity to work with this amazing family once again!

We couldn’t be more happy to have amazing clients live the Harrison & Weatherly families! I love how happy these two were to see one another during their first look — and Jaison captured it perfectly! Check out all of her gorgeous wedding attendants, the bridesmaids dresses are some of my favorites of all time & that color scheme was amazing with the florals! Another favorite thing of ours from this wedding was the CAKE! The cake is a gorgeous strawberry naked cake and it photographed so well! Check out Dakota + Kaylee’s sweet summer wedding on the blog today! We love you two!

Amanda + Hayden | Little Rock, AR Wedding

We didn’t know Amanda and Hayden before booking their wedding but we fell so in love with their personalities along the way. The way they laugh with one another is so touching to watch – you can see exactly what I am talking about in their first look photos; their reactions during the first look are something else!

Amanda is a planner by nature and I knew everything she touched regarding her wedding would turn to gold, everything was so autiful! From her makeup, to her florals – this wedding and the bride were both gorgeous! And their families – we LOVED their families, they made us feel so appreciated and we can’t thank them enough for that. Check out their June wedding! We are in love!

Kelsey + Nelson Ingle | Little Rock, AR Wedding

 

Kelsey and Nelson’s day was so special and I am thrilled I was able to be a part of it! I remember meeting Kels at a coffee shop last year and instantly just loved her! She is so fun and someone I love to be around! I am so thankful that we have become friends after she chose Jaison and I as her wedding photographers – and I am so glad that she did choose us! This is a reason I love my job so much, making real connections with brides that often become my friends after their big day has come and gone. I love that we often have weekly dates to go eat dinner with one another and couldn’t be more thankful for a bride like this special lady!  I loved capturing every second of this day !

(and Nelson is pretty great too, haha)

Maggie Ried + John Teed | Little Rock, AR Wedding

Maggie and John are some of my favorite clients, ever! Maggie was always sending me the sweetest notes and texts when we were in the pre-wedding phase and that girl always just makes my day! I love how these two have such genuine love for one another – and it shows.

I have loved working with them – they even did a Christmas shoot with me BEFORE they were engaged when they got their first puppy, Zeus! I know that we will be photographing these two for years to come (I know because Maggie told me in a sweet note she wrote me!) And that makes me SO EXCITED! I love these two and I am so happy I am able to show them off on the blog this evening!

(p.s.- check out her killer shoes – LOVE!)

XO you two!

Tara Anglin + Daniel Wright | Hot Springs, AR Wedding

Tara and Daniel – oh my gosh THIS DAY! It was even more beautiful looking back than I remembered. I remember thinking as I was shooting this – everything is going so well and how beautiful everything was.

From both getting ready locations – to the ceremony location at the Hamp Williams Building in Hot Springs, everything looked like it was straight  out of a magazine!

& These two are gorgeous right?! And I don’t think I am being biased here (Tara is my big from our sorority in college, a dear friend of mine, and she was a bridesmaid in our wedding, XO!) But really, everything was so amazing for their May wedding. I shouldn’t be surprised though, everything Tara does is so well thought out and planned, there was no way it couldn’t have been gorgeous!  SO excited to share these images from their big day! Enjoy!

Lots of love for these two!

Margo + Christian Biggs | Little Rock, AR Wedding

Margo and Christian are two of the kindest and cutest people ever, y’all! They were the most laid back couple and we loved every second that we got to work with them. Christian is in the military and I loved that Margo wanted to carry the American theme throughout their wedding photos. We incorporated the flag into their engagements, her bridals and even their sweet wedding day (check out this EXIT, swooooon – it was perfect!

Their wedding took place at a beautiful church in Little Rock and their reception was held in downtown Little Rock at the Albert Pike Hotel. It was our first time to take photos at Albert Pike and we really loved the elegance of this historic building. Check out their sweet day!

Basic Invite | www.basicinvite.com

We are thrilled to reveal a special little project we have been working on! We wanted to bring some invites to our blog to help our brides and grooms with selecting the perfect invite! Basic Invite, located in Utah, is one of our favorite invitation companies. They offer almost an unlimited number of opportunities to customize their invite templates, from every little element on each invite – they are FULLY customizable! And they offer over 200 wedding invitation sets! The sets can be purchased along with save-the-dates, bridal shower invitations, thank you cards, direction cards, RSVP cards, and more!

You can find everything from save the dates to wedding invitations and enclosure cards, wedding menus, wedding programs and even matching thank you cards to finish it off!

As I was ordering samples, I was thinking to myself, gosh I wish I would have known about this three years ago when Jaison and I got married. Although the wedding ship has sailed for me, I will be placing an order through Basic Invite for holiday cards later this year! And for our brides and grooms, we want to share the love and tell you about this amazing company!

Like I said earlier, the website offers almost 100% customization for any of their invites – this amazed me. Not only could I change fonts, but the color options on their color palette were ENDLESS! There are over 160 color choices to choose from that can be used for the invite itself, the ink for the names of the couple, design elements and more. For someone who has a background in design, this was a dream come true. AND as a visual person, the option to view the customization that I added to each piece of stationery, really helped me visualize exactly what it would look like before I ordered my samples. The changes I made were available immediately, so I could preview them with just a click of a button. We love the Gold Scrolls Foil Wedding Invitation set, (this is the blue set you will see in the photos below). The gold foil accents are so beautiful and really add a little something extra to this set of stationery. We also chose the Illustrated Corner Wreath Foil Wedding Invitation, that we customized; as well as the Floral Celebration Wedding Invitation – which we loved the look of this so much already, we didn’t customize a thing for this one!

When ordering wedding invitations in large quantities, it can be scary to commit to an invitation without seeing it in person. Personally, I like to hold it, and I enjoy checking out the details from the paper all the way down to the foil stamping. Basic Invite allows you to order samples! The samples I ordered arrived promptly and were in the cutest packaging (you can see their cute folder that they package with their samples in the first photo below). There was a lot of great literature and additional samples including some of their color option samples as well as types of cardstock that is available.

Basic Invite is also just as colorful with their envelope choices as they are with their color options for their invitations! The envelopes are eye catching and thankfully, they are peel and seal; meaning that you don’t have to lick 500 envelopes! (yuck!)

Now go check out them out at Basic Invite.com and get started customizing your perfect wedding invitation today (or baby shower invitation, thank you cards or even Christmas cards!)

(Feel free to follow them on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!)
