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 It was originally made from drapes and it was the coolest thing!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

Sydney + Matt Martinez | Paron, AR Wedding

We are so excited to bring this beautiful Cold Springs wedding to the blog today! Sydney and Matt were a blast & anyone who serves ‘breakfast for dinner’ as their wedding reception food – is awesome in our book! We LOVED that they hung huge canvases up from their engagement session in the entryway to the reception – so fun and it was the first time we have seen canvases that big!

Now lets talk about her florals – Tanarah always does an amazing job but we really loved her use of succulents in the bouquets; one of our favorite little details of the day! We are thrilled to feature this amazing couple! Check out their awesome video by Sunflower films here or their feature online at Arkansas Bride here! Enjoy browsing their perfect day!

Maternity

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!

Mallory + Colton | Conway, AR Engagements

Watching Mallory and Colton’s relationship grow has been one of my favorite things. I literally love these two – and I love them together. They are literally the same person – just the male and female version of one another. They are sweet, kind, quirky, hilarious, cute, and two of the most genuine people you will ever meet. They are hands down one of my favorite couples; that double as great friends to Jaison and I.

We met them at UCA and I have always thought of Mallory as a little sister. She was in my sorority and she was Jenny’s (my roommate in college) “little” in AST. I loved Mal since I met her, I remember the first time I met her to be exact. Jenny asked if I wanted to go meet her new little in her dorm-room, and of course I said yes. I wanted to meet our sweet new AST from Texas!

Mallory was actually in a wheelchair at the time — she had been in a really bad car accident but still was as cute as a button! Fast forward through college and I got to know her even better through our time at UCA.

 Then after college, their best friends – Kim and Chris Diaz (who we also love to the moon) got married and all three of us couples got to bond a little further through that experience of the Diaz wedding & wedding planning.

When Mallory called and said she wanted us to be her and Colton’s wedding photographers, it was such an exciting day and I couldn’t have been more excited to work with these two! I am so thankful for friends like these two who have supported us every step of the way in our journey with Sterling Imageworks. They have watched our company grow almost the entire time we have been in business. With that being said, we thought it was only fitting to start the session where it all began — UCA. And we ended in downtown Conway with more of a formal look.

(Love love love the shirts they wore in the first part — Mallory is from Texas and Colton from Oklahoma)  — such a cute idea! Here is a glimpse into their engagement session – we are completely swooning over them all.

We love you two!

Veronica Bausom Martin | Little Rock, AR Bridals

Spring is the perfect time for blogging all of our pretty brides from 2016 – and Veronica is one we have been so excited to show off!

She and Kyle celebrated their big day in Conway last fall and we have been loving all of her posts about married life and how happy they are! <3 So thrilled to bring this session to the blog today! Happy Friday!

Family Newborn

Reynolds Family | Little Rock, Arkansas

Taylor and Barrett are parents to one adorable little girl, little Lyla. We loved doing a lifestyle newborn session for them a few months ago! We have done many newborn sessions in the past but we realized we haven’t really blogged any! & that is something we are going to change! As animal lovers, we were over the moon that they wanted to include their fourth family member in some of these – their sweet pup, Boo. & We completely fell in love with this little family even more while taking these pictures. We have gotten to work with Taylor through the bridal fair for several years now, but we loved getting to hang out with her whole family this time. So here is a glimpse at their sweet session, we are so excited to feature the Reynolds family on the blog today! <3

So much sweetness!

Mary + Chase | Little Rock, AR Engagements

I had the privilege of photographing engagements for Mary and Chase last week and y’all –  it was the windiest session I can ever recall doing. BUT, despite the crazy wind – I am so in love with these! There were large periods of time where we just huddled together and had to wait it out – not even kidding. They both were patient, so understanding, and we stuck it out and I am so glad we did; because I think we got some amazing shots!

I genuinely enjoyed catching up with Mary. I hadn’t seen her since we graduated from UCA and I loved getting to see her & finally meet Chase! These are moments that I am so glad that Jaison and I chose UCA as our university. No matter how long you go without seeing other UCA Alum. – it is always so easy to pick right back up where you left off.

And last but not least – can we talk about her cute outfits?! I love the green dress sh chose, it was such a good complimentary color for her skin tone and hair! AND, she is just DARLING overall and has such a beautiful smile! Basically, I just think Mary is adorable!  And I know the wind was not in her favor but that hair is still so so gorgeous! I am over the moon excited to share these and I can’t wait until their wedding later this year – I know it will be such a fun time working with these two along the way!

Kaitlin + Nash | Great Gatsby Themed Wedding – Hot Springs, AR

Kaitlin and Nash got married this past October, near Halloween, and instead of a traditional Halloween themed wedding – they had something a little different in mind. Great Gatsby was a reoccurring theme from their day; from the bridesmaids dresses, accessories, and reception decor – everything looked like it was right out of the 1920s.

We loved that they had a unique element to their ceremony – the blessing of their rings by all in attendance. We have been photographing weddings since 2010 and we have never seen this done, and we loved it. The ceremony took place at Anthony Chapel in Garvan Gardens and we headed to The Arlington Hotel in downtown Hot Springs for their reception. The groom’s cake had a topper that Kaitlin handmade with modeling cay for his favorite band, the Grateful Dead. They danced the night away and departed with a sparkler exit. We loved capturing these sweet moments!

Amanda Conn | Little Rock, AR Bridals

On this snowy afternoon I am wishing we could go back to where we had pretty summer blooms in season and warm weather! However, this session is a bit misleading because — it was actually raining as I snapped Amanda’s bridal portraits. The Terry House was the perfect spot for us to stay dry but still get that beautiful greenery and natural light in the photographs! I love that it is not even noticeable that it was a little less than perfect weather for these – and I think they still turned out stunning! Of course Amanda is so easy to photograph! So today I will just stay inside in my cozy house dreaming of these beautiful blooms while I sip hot chocolate – yum! Excited to share these! <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!

The Thompson | Little Rock, AR Family

We had the pleasure of taking the Thompson’s family photos twice in 2016 and we loved working with them both times!

Sam has the CUTEST personality ever! I seriously love her! For this session they brought their new puppy – Winnie! If anyone knows me, they know I love love love dogs – so it was so fun for me to photograph their sweet new fur-baby. Winnie quickly became  the star of the show – everyone passing by wanted to pet her and love on her, even Sam. You can see Sam’s sweet personality shining through in the photos below where she and Winnie are playing, those are some of my favorites from this day. Sam would run and play, Winnie would follow – a girl and her dog <3

They also had another bit of exciting news during their session – they’re expecting baby #2! I loved the announcement idea they had – so cute!

Congratulations, friends! I loved every minute of capturing these for you!

Haley Palanca + Daniel Hopkins | Paron, Arkansas

Haley and Daniel tied the knot on October 28, 2016 at Cold Springs in Paron, Arkansas. Sitting on 100 acres near Little Rock, Cold Springs is a relatively new wedding venue, less than two years old.
 I loved working with this couple, I can not say that enough. They both have the such easy-going beautiful personalities! They are just gorgeous on the inside and out!
 The Hopkins said “I do” at an outdoor ceremony by the lake, with florals with rich colors and greenery – Anna Rogers of Magnolia Belle Floral truly made their southern vision come to life with beautiful arrangements, bouquets and boutonnieres. Their flower girls wore navy blue dresses, which matched the groomsmen and the ring bearer looked so cute in his suspenders!
As you entered into their reception – canvases over 5 feet tall hung on both sides of the entry-way. & Their pizza bar was a huge hit with guests (and their vendors)! Their cake was  beautiful and served as one of the main focal point of the room.
We ended the night with a beautiful sparkler exit! I could look at these images forever — cheers to officially blogging our first wedding this year!

Tori + Dustin Terry | Little Rock, AR Family

Tori and Dustin are some of my favorite people in the world. Dustin and I have been friends most of our lives and I loved Tori from the moment I met her! I was thrilled to capture this special moment in their lives. I thought we were just doing a mini session and they surprised me with this announcement! The fall leaves were so beautiful and were in full bloom while we captured this sweet moment. Love you two!

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!

Tory + Britt | Little Rock, AR Engagements

I can’t tell you how relaxed these two seemed at their engagement session with one another. They were so at ease, which made my job so easy! I loved catching up with Tory and meeting Britt! Sometimes there are couples that you just click with instantly as a photographer and that definitely happened while I was shooting these two! Every single pose was perfect and they just made everything look so natural through my lens. Next July we will capture more of these two — on their WEDDING! It will be here before we know it! Congrats you two! <3

Lauren + Heath | Little Rock, AR Engagements

Over the past year I have really gotten to know Lauren well through Alpha Tau at UCA – she has served as their president for the last year & I am an alumni advisor, (AST is the sorority I was in while in college). While working so closely with her I have been given the opportunity to see her beautiful heart! She is kind, genuine and beautiful on the inside and out – I just love this girl and can’t imagine life without her now. I don’t know how I went so long without knowing her and calling her a friend. And Heath — although I officially met him at the session, I already love him too because Lauren does! We had so much fun taking these at Belgian Meadows Farm with their fur-baby and we even caught the sunset for some dreamy photos to end the day with. To say I am excited for their wedding next June is an understatement! Can’t wait you two!
