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 It was originally made from drapes and it was the coolest thing!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

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

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! I had so much fun with her and her mom during her bridals in Little Rock. 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!

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!

Venue: Cold Springs

Dress: The Bridal Cottage

Floral Design: Magnolia Belle Floral

Kimberly Fitts | UCA Senior | Conway, AR

Kimber is such a sweetheart! During her session she was so comfortable in front of the camera and made my job so easy! She was an absolute joy to work with!

She and I both attended UCA and we were in the same sorority – Alpha Sigma Tau. I have enjoyed getting to know her over the years! And I’m so proud of her as she begins the professional phase of her life! Congratulations on your December graduation from UCA, Kimber!

<3 Thank you for letting me capture your college senior portraits!

Katie + Brad | Little Rock, AR Engagements

Katie and Brad are such a fun couple! I play bunco with Katie and I was over the moon when she chose us to photograph their wedding! We did a two-part session for this sweet e-session; starting at the Arkansas Travelers stadium in North Little Rock (where Brad works as the Controller for the Travs).We got some adorable shots of these two – dressed in their Travs attire. (Notice the scoreboard has their names on it – how cool is that?!)

We then took a short trip across the river to finish the remainder of their session at the Terry House & outside of the Arkansas State Capitol. We are so excited to celebrate with them in March!

Ps- their session was chosen at Arkansas Bride’s “Best of 2016” in the engagements category! So excited!

Jenna & James | Little Rock Engagement

From the moment I met Jenna and James at Starbucks for their consultation I knew I would just love them! They are both nurses and naturally so down-to-earth, easy going and just overall precious! Their session at Two Rivers Park in Little Rock has been one of my favorites. After I suggested the location they were on board, especially since James proposed there! The weather was perfect after a week of rain prior. (Can we get back to that weather ASAP please?) They had the BEST idea to bring a pop-up tent to change clothes in. As a result we are now going to buy one for future sessions! We can not wait for their wedding in September! We hope you enjoy this sweet couple, we sure enjoyed taking these!
