Stoby’s & PattiCakes Bakery | Conway, AR
A few months ago we did a photoshoot for Stoby’s & PattiCakes in Conway! If you haven’t eaten at Stoby’s before, you are seriously missing out! The food is so flavorful and reminds me of my great-grandma’s homemade recipes. After this shoot I think I craved their food for weeks (please come to North Little Rock!)
Our friends at Kangabloo Creative connected us with the Stobaugh family to setup the shoot and they helped with the styling and organization of the shoot! Not only do they have great food and a gorgeous new building in Conway, the people and their hearts for what they do is really what makes Stoby’s amazing! I love that they incorporated things from the original building into their new space (they sadly had to rebuild after a fire caused major damage to their original building).
My favorite thing about the Stobaughs, is you can tell they hustle; and along with their staff, they are all in when it comes to serving their customers.
We are really happy with the way the final product came out – check some of their delicious food below! Now we are ready for lunch!

Luke | Conway, AR Newborn
As primarily a wedding photographer, newborns are such a sweet change of pace for us. & Luke was the most perfect little subject! These were extra special because a few weeks before, I did his mom’s maternity session! I am so glad Ryane and Layne let me photograph their little guy! How cute are his outfits?! I see a lot more newborn sessions in my future! <3

Jennifer Grant | Little Rock, AR Bridals
These summer months are making me wish it was December again! So I am throwing it back to Jen’s winter bridal session! Jen had a unique bridal session, it was after her wedding, rather than before! Dover bridals after the wedding made everything really relaxing and it was fun to catch up and talk about the wedding weeks later! We couldn’t be happier to bring this dreamy winter bride to you during one of the hottest weeks of the year! How many days until Christmas?! It can’t get here soon enough!
Thank you for being such a wonderful client, Jen!

Kayla Zurga Nevala | NLR, AR Bridals
When a bride tells us that she wants to bring her dogs to her bridal session, we do a little happy dance! Kayla’s two fur-babies were so cute and made the perfect little models! As a huge dog lover, I love that she wanted to include them (we have three of our own)! Kayla was so much fun and we are so thankful we got to work with her and Louis! Wedding photos from their day at Cold Springs will be coming to the blog soon; but for now – check out her gorgeous bridals and sweet pups!

Amanda Mathews Schichtl | Little Rock, AR Bridals
My family and Amanda’s family have known one another our whole lives; her uncle is one of my dad’s lifelong friends – but it wasn’t until her wedding planning journey when I really got to know this amazing girl!
She has the biggest heart; & yesterday she married Zach! I could tell how much she loves her friends and family – she told them so many times while fighting back her tears of joy. It was the sweetest day with such wonderful people. I have loved making memories with her as her photographer and new friend <3
Jaison and I have been heart eyed over these bridals for several weeks and we couldn’t wait for a single day to pass after the wedding to share them! Goodwin Manor was the perfect setting and the team at Tanarah Luxe Floral knocked her bouquet out of the park!
So many pretty photos of her on the blog below! Check them out!

Mary Kate + Colton | Little Rock, AR Engagements
Mary Kate and Colton chose Little Rock as the backdrop for their engagements – and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting for this fashionista! Mary Kate is a fashion blogger! How fun right?! And I found out that Colton is usually her photographer! So they’re very familiar with how photoshoots go! I don’t need to say this but they were NATURALS! So comfortable in front of the camera and so sweet and intentional with their interaction with one another. They took all of my ideas and just ran with them – bringing each pose to life perfectly in their own unique way! And lets just talk about that sunset – no exaggeration – it is the prettiest one I have photographed at the end of an engagement session. We can’t wait to hang out wit them more!

Mary Catherine Rogers King | Little Rock, AR Bridals
On July 1st we traveled a little over nine hours to Kingsport, Tennessee for a beautiful wedding. Mary Catherine and Grant celebrated with family and friends in the Tri Cities area and it was fabulous – those photos are coming soon!
Today we are thrilled to share her bridals – that we took at home in Little Rock, Arkansas at Goodwin Manor (one of our favorite venues)!
Mary Catherine lives in Memphis so when her mom and I started talking about locations for her bridals – I knew Goodwin Manor would be the perfect place. The Goodwin’s are always amazing to work with, and this time was no exception! We can’t wait to share more from their beautiful day!
One of our favorite details from her session is the back of her FABULOUS dress. It is one of the most beautifully detailed dresses we have seen. Classic yet modern. We also are pretty in love with her blue wedding shoes that she borrowed from her sister as her “something blue/something borrowed”!
I have known MC a long time, since high school (and then we both attended college at UCA)! I first met her through a mutual friend – Casey; and  I always thought she was absolutely precious. When she contacted us about her wedding – we were praying she would book us! This also meant a trip for me to see my parents, who live only 1 hour from Kingsport. We stayed through the 4th of July and it was an amazing trip! We love East Tennessee; everyone is unbelievably friendly!
Congrats MC! We love you!

Lauren Morris | Conway, AR Bridals
I have been patiently waiting to post these for over a month! Since Lauren and Heath’s wedding was this past weekend – I am finally allowed to share! Lauren in stunningly beautiful; but my favorite part about her is her heart for others.
She often reminds me of a younger version of myself; with wayyyyy better basketball skills (not even kidding!) I loved getting to meet her family and friends this past weekend at her home church in Cabot, (where the wedding was held).
She and Heath have been dating since high school and I loved getting to know her through Alpha Tau at UCA, I got to be a mentor to her during her time as Alpha Tau’s president. SO thankful for this chance that I have had to grow closer in my relationship with her through her wedding journey! I can’t wait for her wedding photos to be ready; Lauren, Haeth and their entire bridal party looked so stunning! So excited that your new journey with Heath has officially started! Happy honey-mooning this week!

Regan + Cory | Little Rock, AR Engagements
We are throwing it back to Regan + Cory’s Little Rock engagement session because they celebrated their WEDDING DAY this past Saturday and it was AMAZING! These two are so much fun and just the kindest, most complimentary couple! Regan constantly told us how thankful she was, which really meant so much to us. They both really made our job super fun and we have loved getting to call them our clients! Wedding photos coming soon but these may tide you over for just a bit! <3

Savannah + Matt Boyce | Little Rock, AR Wedding
Savannah and Matt were one of the first couples to get married in the newly remodeled Robinson Center in Little Rock; and this wedding was for sure one for the books! Their April wedding was so much fun!
We officially met Savannah & her mom  through CrossFit Align in NLR, where we all workout together. But, we have known the Harrington family as a whole for a while; dating back to our high school roots when Jaison and I went to school with Savannah’s older brother – Danny. We also photographed her sister Maddie, at football games when she was a NLRHS cheerleader; (and her cousin’s own the gym I was talking about; so we have lots of ties to this sweet family!)
It was really fun getting to know these two even better through the entire wedding process. From engagements, to bridals and then the wedding day – they were nothing but amazing to work with!
They both are tap dancers so their ‘first dance’ was of course an AWESOME tap number! We especially loved Savannah’s custom bedazzled tap wedding shoes! (all the heart eyes)! And her dress was literally one of a kind, designed by the fabulous Laine Berry of Inverness in Conway.
If you can’t tell they were in pure wedding bliss all day long and celebrated with friends and family at an amazing reception! Thank you so much for choosing us as your wedding photographers, we love you both (and your family) to the moon! So thankful our friendship will continue through CrossFit! <3

Mary Richmond | Little Rock, AR Bridals
Yesterday we celebrated with Mary and Chase during their Little Rock wedding. The wedding was relaxed, simple and intimate with just close friends and family. It was a perfect, perfect, perfect day.
Her bridals were equally as amazing! I couldn’t wait any longer to share them! Mary has been such a fun client and I loved it when she said “pick your favorite location for my bridals, I trust you.” That always is so fun to get to play and be creative with an easy-going bride who trusts you, I think that is when I do my very best work. I picked this location for the amazing soft light right before sense, pretty greenery, and the beautiful southern plantation style home — all in the middle of the city — it is one of my absolute favorites. Thank you Mary for everything (and Chase too); you both were amazingly sweet to work with!

Taylor + Cara | Little Rock, AR Engagements
Cara and Taylor met with me at Starbucks in the fall and I just loved these two right off the bat. They’re my kind of people, and I knew it immediately. They are relaxed, fun, they love dogs – they have a Husky (as do we). So on the way home from their consultation I was hoping and praying they would book us for photography – and they DID! When I shot their engagements it was like I had known them forever, sometimes it is just like that I guess! And they are so cute together, I love their calm personalities and the fact that they were so genuine and so loving with one another – it was pretty precious! The only thing that could’ve made this session better – was if they brought their husky, haha! I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at Cold Springs next weekend, it is going to be a good one!

Summer Styled Shoot | Jamestown Ranch, Arkansas
Happy Sunday! When we get to collaborate with other vendors, it is our favorite thing! This team was so great; we highly recommend each and every one of them. We got together and created a styled shoot with Rebecca and Jacob, one of our favorite couples! They got married in 2015 and it was so much fun to photograph them again.
Our theme was simple, southern and natural with a touch of boho chic. The dress that the bridal cottage let us use was absolutely gorgeous and Rebecca looked so amazing in it! Sending big hugs to all that collaborated on this shoot with us! Anna Roger’s floral design really came to life and we have received so many compliments on our photos from this set that have included “oh my gosh look at those flowers!” They truly were breathtaking.
Hayley couldn’t have done a better job on Rebecca’s hair and makeup and she is one of my favorite people to work with – this girl is so much fun! Julie’s cake was amazing (as always)! And Finally – last but not least Paul with Sunflower films and the video he created! It was a little odd for Jaison and I to be the IN the shots for a change, but so much fun! We love the way the final product turned out. Brides – if you are considering having a videographer and you’re on the fence — do it! Cut the costs somewhere else (like your alcohol budget) — it will be worth it and you’ll be so happy you did, I promise. Check out the video here! Cheers to an amazing team!

Battles Family | Little Rock, AR Family Session
Aren’t the Battles family the cutest family ever?! Amber (in the pink) is one of our October brides and for mother’s day she purchased a family session for her mom – so sweet! She also brought her new puppy – Cinch! He stole my heart and the show! We love working with this bunch!

Savannah Harrington Boyce | Little Rock, AR Bridals
Savannah is not only a client – but a dear friend of ours. We do CrossFit with Savannah and her mom DeLinda and have been for a little over a year. Savannah was actually my partner for a CrossFit competition (something I am fairly certain I will never do again, haha) but I couldn’t have picked a more amazing partner! Jaison and I have gotten really close with her through our gym and I couldn’t be more thankful that she chose us as her photographers for her wedding to Matt. She is beautiful not on the outside, but on the inside as well! We adore the Harrington family – they are the most genuine family and we secretly think of DeLinda as our CrossFit ‘mom’ – we just love them (if you can’t tell)!
Her bridal session was such a good time, every time we are with these two (DeLinda and Sav) – they are just so hilarious and keep Jaison and I constantly laughing; they are a blast.
We are over the moon about these bridal portraits (and her wedding photos) which are currently being edited. What a beautiful bride, gown and bouquet! Anna with Magnolia Belle Floral did such a great job constructing this beauty! And Laine Berry designed this gown especially for Savannah – it is simply stunning, she has so much talent!
We loved her photos so much that we chose to showcase Savannah in the next issue of Weddings in Arkansas on our ad, which will be released soon!
PS- She had a pair of tap shoes made especially for her first dance on the wedding day with Matt, they are both amazing tap dancers and founded they Untapped! Check out more about Untapped here!
Love you so much Savannah, thank you for everything!

Katie + Brad Eagle | Little Rock, AR Wedding
So many things that I love about this day – her dresses (yes two) and both were beautiful, her shoes, the cakes, her invites, reception — I could go on and on! Katie and Brad celebrated their big day on March 11th this year. This was our second wedding for the year and what a fun night it was! We started at the Doubletree with getting ready photos with Jessica Humerick doing her makeup, then headed to the Clinton Library for their first look and some photos of Katie getting into her dress – then it came a downpour! Just a little setback; luckily her ceremony location, Levy Baptist Church, was beautiful and we were able to get some beautiful indoor photos! After the ceremony and family photos, we headed back to the Clinton Library for the reception where the party began! Minus the rain – everything was pretty perfect all day! And the rain thankfully held off for their glow stick exit! Katie and Brad – thank you so much for letting Sterling Imageworks photograph you wedding! We love y’all!

Alexa + Dwayne | Petit Jean Engagements
Dwayne and Alexa chose Petit Jean for their engagement session and they couldn’t have picked a better location. We started near the lake and waterfall and ended at the main lookout during sunset – we timed everything perfectly! Just look at that sunset! I am so in love with her outfits; not to mention they are just an adorable couple. We can’t wait for their fall wedding this October!

Kassi Bruich Caldwell | Little Rock, AR Bridals
This month Kassi and Matt are celebrating their anniversary so we wanted to do a little throwback blog post to her bridal session – a session we have wanted to share for a long time but we have been playing catch-up on our blog! We truly have had so many sessions in the last year; I don’t say that to brag in any way – I just want to explain why we can not blog every single session – but we sure try to share as many as we can!
This is one session that I just couldn’t let slip through the cracks! Kassi was a beautiful bride and even more beautiful on the inside – my favorite kind of person. We have remained friends after wedding planning resumed for her, and I am so excited to coincidentally photograph a family session for her tomorrow! I also loved that Kas wore her mom’s wedding dress in a few photos at her bridal session and at her reception – it was completely redone to make a fun short reception dress while retaining some of the sweet vintage details! Love this girl and this session!
 Tanarah Luxe Floral did a fabulous job (as always) on her bridal and wedding day bouquets!
