Paula & Andy | Little Rock Engagements

Paula and Andy are just the coolest couple. I love being around them! From hearing the story on how they started dating to them getting engaged – I just think they’re such neat people! When I met with them the first time I was shocked to hear that Paula knew my childhood friend, Cassie. We were close friends in Virginia, when we both lived there because we were military brats. However, Cassie is from Arizona originally and Paula and her went to college together in AZ. SUCH A SMALL WORLD! It made me feel just a little closer to Cassie when taking Paula’s engagements, which was such an awesome feeling!

These two are going to have amazingly beautiful tall babies (ha, I may be jumping the gun a little) but seriously I love this couple’s height. Something Jaison and I do not possess, haha.

I can’t wait for this wedding – I know it will be wonderful! I just love Paula & Andy so much already, we can’t wait to get to know you even better!

p.s. the snow was just the right touch!

Dustin + Tori | Little Rock Engagements

Dustin has been in my life a looooong time! We grew up with one another and he is probably my longest lasting friend. We will go months without talking but it is the type of friendship where you don’t have to talk everyday but you still have each other’s backs no matter what. He is more like a brother honestly. When I heard he was engaged I was so excited for him! And now that I know Tori, I love her too (maybe more than I like Dustin – just kidding). She is the perfect balance to Dustin, exactly what he needed. And she keeps him in line, which he can be a mess sometimes. Plus she is gorgeous, talk about blonde bombshell!

I am super sad we were booked on their wedding day, not just to photograph it, but just to attend. Dustin was an usher at my wedding a few years back and now I wanted to be there to see him tie the knot! Although I will be photographing another wedding, I will definitely be there in spirit. (I can’t wait to see pics!) I wish you two the best and cheers to many more years of friendship with you both!

ps: aren’t these firefighter shots the cutest?!

Love,

Callie

Abbey + Kyle | Little Rock Mini Session

We got to include our best friends in our mini session day this year! Although we shot Abbey’s sister’s wedding, Abbey and Kyle have never had a session with just the two of them before. Luckily, we had an extra opening in our schedule the day so we did mini sessions so decided this would be our Christmas present to our sweet friends! They brought their pups, Trooper and Benny! Love how these turned out! Enjoy

Lots of love,

Callie

Vandiver & Watson Family | Little Rock Family Session

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!

Healey/Schott Family | Little Rock Session

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!

The Rice Family | Little Rock Holiday Mini Session

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!

The Wood Family | Little Rock Mini Session

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,

Callie

McKenzie Gosser | NLR High School Senior

McKenzie is back on the blog! This is the second time we have been able to shoot her pics and each time she amazes me.

This time we did her senior portraits and we could not be happier with this session. She is so comfortable in her own skin & it shows! I don’t even have to position her in flattering poses, she just knows. She is a photographer’s dream!

We just love you, McKenzie!

We hope to work with you for many many years to come! xoxo

The Glovers | Arkansas Family

I met Carrie through her sister Amy, who is a good friend of mine. Amy’s little girl, Abi, was our flower girl in our wedding! This was the third time we got to photograph Will and each session I swear he gets cuter and cuter. This year, he has grown so much!! We loved that he was sporting his cowboy Halloween costume, he looked like a little man! Will’s favorite part of the session was when Jaison and his dad Jason threw leaves around him. Those made for some of the sweetest photos ever. Enjoy!

ps: AND I got to use our chevron chair prop which was exciting to have someone just the right size to fit in it!

Caleb + Kelsey | Central Arkansas Couple

I have known both Kelsey and Caleb 10 years! It seems like we have been friends forever though! We went on church trips together and cheered on the North Pulaski Falcons together in high school. Kelsey switched to North Little Rock High School first and I soon followed my eleventh grade year. Kelsey has been one of my best friends ever since. I was heartbroken when she and I went to separate colleges, but I am thankful that we have stayed in touch and that she was able to stand beside me on my wedding day in 2013. I have never seen Kelsey happier than she is with Caleb. Kels and I have spent many hours laughing and crying together and I am happy to know that Caleb is now her best friend. I couldn’t have picked a better guy for her. Naturally, when Kelsey asked me to take her pictures I could not have been happier. She has an uncle who is awesome photographer and I couldn’t believe she asked me! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. This girl means the world to me & Caleb, you aren’t so bad! 😉 Lots of love for these two!

-Cal (p.s. thank you Jaison for teaching me to blog!)
