I was so excited when Christy asked me to take her Christmas pictures at her new house! Isn’t this group gorgeous?! I had so much fun doing three little sessions in one with this group!

The Keiths are finally on the blog! We have been patiently waiting to finish editing this wedding and we may have even taken a break from our Disney vacation to complete these because we didn’t want to keep them waiting! We didn’t mind at all though because this couple is adorable! Brandi and John tied the knot on October 25th at the Hendrix chapel in Conway. Their reception was held at the Old Gin, also in Conway. Their “first dance” was probably our favorite of all time. It was super fun and cute! Enjoy this sweet couple’s wedding photos, these are our favorites from their big day!
Lots of love for these two!

Shelby is one of my sweetest friends from UCA and Alpha Tau! Love her! I was so lucky to be able to take her and her sister’s pictures this year! We got mom in on a few of them too! Kristen and Shelby were up for anything and everything I suggested. Enjoy this sweet fall/holiday session! Sweet, sweet girls! Here are my favorites from their session!
Lots of love,

We love photographing the Watsons and Vandivers! We did Erica and Chase’s weddings a year and a half ago and since then we have done two more shoots! We love how much Goose, (their dog) has grown since our last session a year ago! This year’s session was much much warmer than last! Tim & Lesa, we love y’all too, of course! Little Lucy is as cute as ever!
Enjoy our sweet friends! Looking forward to many more years of family photos with y’all!
p.s. we included some fun ones in there for y’all too!
This family session has been in the works for several months! Virgeen and I have been talking about how we could convince her boys to take some photos and I am SO glad she finally won them over! They were all so much fun to hang out with the Saturday after Thanksgiving! They have a little bit of a rivalry going in their family between the Hogs and Mizzou as you will see in the photos! It poured a little salt in the wound to take these photos the day after we lost to Mizzou (just kidding, it was all in good fun!) I am so thankful we got to do this session! I hope her boys aren’t too mad at me for posting the sweet photo of them kissing their mom, it was just too sweet not to share!
Enjoy!

Oh my gosh! This family is SOOO stinking’ cute! I can’t even contain it! Ha! I shot this sweet family session at Hendrix last week and it was so amazing! The weather at first glance was super nasty and felt like it could rain at any minute but it ended up being perfect for lighting. There were no bad shadows and no harsh light in anyone’s face. I did a mixture of a Christmas family session + Anna Kate’s 6 months photos! I finally got to use my cute cupcake and lollypop props! Enjoy this precious session!
p.s. – Little Cooper, thank you for being my assistant for the day and telling your mom how to stand/pose! He was the biggest help I could’ve ever asked for (and such a cutie!) Check out his funny faces, we had fun!
Enjoy!
Tony and Shea tied the knot in Conway on October 4th! I have known Tonya and Shea for over 7 years and I am so thankful for their friendship! Tonya was on dance team with me in high school at North Pulaski and everyone always thought we were sisters, and most of the time we didn’t even correct them! Ha! We were recently reunited when we sold our house in April. Tonya was our realtor and helped us sell our Conway home and buy our new house in NLR. She spent A LOT of time with us haha! We may have been picky and wanted to see 10 thousand houses. We have been photographing their most important moments for almost a year now! We started by taking their maternity photos, then we did some of Levi for his 6 months shoot, we have done some realtor headshot for her and team and now we are blogging their sweet wedding! We almost thought we weren’t going to be able to capture their big day due to another wedding conflicting that day but it all worked out perfectly! We can’t wait to shoot Levi’s birthday party in January! We hope you enjoy this sweet Conway wedding!
Lots of love!
Tucker popped the questions on November 29th at the Capital Hotel in Little Rock. We were hidden away waiting to jump out with our cameras at any minute. He brought her upstairs to a bench by the Christmas tree to open her birthday gift, after a romantic dinner downstairs in the hotel restaurant. It was super exciting to capture one of the most important moments of their lives! Lillian had no idea what was coming! We wish these two the best and hope the wedding is everything you both hope for! Props to Tucker on such a sweet proposal!
We met Terri and Johnny and their kiddos through NLR basketball when Jay started taking basketball photos for the local newspaper, NLR Times. Coach Rice has been so great to Jaison. I know sports photography is Jaison’s favorite and we have has amazing support from the NLR high school staff and parents of the players. We are so glad we have had the opportunity to work with the basketball team and now taking The Rice’s family photos this holiday season. His wife, Terri is just as sweet and down-to-earth as she can be! We loved hanging out with their family during their mini session! They’re a super cute family! Enjoy!
I am thankful that I met Catherine through the UCA Young Alumni Association Board! Her little family is so so cute aren’t they?! Little Natalie smiled like a champ, even though I was certain we would be blown away by the crazy wind! There is only one word to describe this session, PRECIOUS! It was so hard to choose my favorites for this blog post, Natalie looked so sweet in all of them! Enjoy!
p.s. It is just a bonus that Catherine is one of my sorority sisters and I didn’t even know it until recently. I love that Alpha Tau is something I can share with so many incredible women! Feeling blessed!
Lots of love,
This was part of our mini session series and we could not have been happier with the way these turned out! This family was so easy to photograph. We met them through NLR basketball and have been so blessed to work with them.They were super laid back and made our jobs so easy! Plus, they are all gorgeous right?! Even their cute little dog, Louie! Check out the Dunkum’s mini session!

I met Amy several years ago while working at the salon and I am so thankful that God placed her in my life. She has been such a mentor and friend to me inside and outside of work! We love taking their family photos and this year Abi had the prettiest dress! Abi has grown so much since she was the flower girl in our wedding a year and a half ago, it is amazing how time flies! She gets prettier and prettier with age. I enjoyed dropping off their photos at their house tonight and playing school with Abi, she is a hoot! And they even brought Allie, their sweet pup!
Enjoy this fall/holiday session! It is a cute one!

Shun is one of the coolest people I know. Seriously. He is such a neat guy! He is friendly to everyone and SO involved on UCA’s campus! I am thankful I got to meet him through the Ambassador program and Student Orientation staff when I was a student at UCA. Shun you will go far, I can already tell! We are blessed to call you our friend.
Lots of love,
Callie
Karen is one of my dearest friends and when she asked me to take her maternity photos with her husband Matt, I was so excited! I have loved seeing their relationship evolve since I first saw the pictures on Facebook of Matt proposing. First let me say, it was FREEZING that day but Karen and Matt posed like professionals! They were up for any idea I had, even if that meant laying Karen on top of the picnic table. Which in my opinion was pretty impressive since she is pregnant! They don’t even look the slightest bit cold in the photos. I can’t wait to continue watching this family grow and I am excited to meet Miss Liken Bowers! I know she will be beautiful just like her mom.
Lots of love,
Callie
We are so excited to bring you the McAllister wedding! Abi and Jake tied the knot on October 4th in Little Rock! They had their reception at Next Level Events, also known as the train station. Throughout the blog post you will see their adorable son, my favorite moment was when he was watching Abi dance with her dad, his grandpa. It is the sweetest moment ever! The bridesmaids dresses were gorgeous and Abi’s hair is my AMAZING! Love, love, love the side braid! Enjoy this gorgeous wedding! We love working with brides and grooms who like to have fun and these two definitely had a blast at their wedding and so did we! Lots of love!
Matt is the younger brother of our dear friend Allie. When Allie called us about doing Matt’s senior pictures we were thrilled! Matt is a senior at NLR! Go Wildcats! (Jaison and I both graduated from NLRHS as well.) We shot these at a private gun club that Matt is a part of in North Little Rock. The location was beautiful with the river in the background, right before sunset. We hope you enjoy this unique session! You will be seeing more of Matt when we shoot part II of his senior session at the high school. As well as next October when we blog Allie’s wedding! We can not wait to hang out with you and your sister more! The Brown siblings are such sweet amazing people! Love these two!
Kasey and I met many years ago when I was in middle school and she was just starting high school. It is amazing to see where she is today with her sweet family. I am so thankful when old friends look to us for their wedding photography needs! It is such an amazing feeling! Braylon, their son played big role in their engagement pictures too. I was so glad that they included him! If he wasn’t having his picture made, he was making us laugh and providing comic relief. These two will tie the knot at LOFT 1023 on New Year’s Eve! We cannot wait to shoot this wintery wedding!
Now that we have posted Anna and Colby’s wedding day photos we are happy to share her bridals! They tied the knot on September 20, 2014 at Alda’s Magnolia Hill in Little Rock. She had a completely different look for her wedding day (which we also loved)! We were happy we were able to get two totally different feels of her in her beautifully unique dress! Anna you looked gorgeous in these and on your wedding day! Much love to you and Colby!
Currie and Josiah tied the knot of July 26, 2014! We were so so happy to shoot their wedding! This was a wedding where we did photo + video for the couple! We had an awesome team working with us that day, and we were able to capture so many of their special moments. Although I knew Currie from being in Alpha Tau, I loved getting to know her even better throughout her wedding process from engagements to bridals to wedding day! Currie is truly a Southern Belle and I loved working with her and Josiah! Josiah is such a nice guy and it is obvious he and Currie are meant to be! My favorite picture of them all is the one of Josiah with a huge smile on his face after he kisses Currie Jane during the ceremony! SO SWEET! We hope to work with you two again in the future!
Enjoy this Southern Wedding!

When we booked Anna Lee + Colby’s wedding I was thrilled! I love booking Alpha Tau weddings because it is like hanging out with friends all day and I get to create lasting memories for them through their photographs (and in this case their video as well). Anna and Colby tied the knot at Alda’s Magnolia Hill in Little Rock on September 20th! The venue, as always, was GORGEOUS! Miss Alda goes all out for every wedding at her venue and each time it is PERFECT! For their ceremony, Colby came in on a canoe and Anna on a horse-drawn carriage. We did their video as I mentioned earlier as well as their wedding day photography, bridals and engagements! We have sincerely enjoyed working with them over the last year. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness and lots of love! We had a blast sharing your big day with you! We hope everyone enjoys this southern wedding!
Lots of love,
