My new lens loved shooting BLUSHED BEAUTY BOUTIQUE! It's such a beautiful, bright space! Their super cool light features twinkled into little starbursts, and bath house row peeked into the big windows from across the street! Go see sweet Mary and crew for bit of downtown pampering. Peruse their killer product lines, and pick up some Easter basket goodies while you're there!🐇

This cutie-patootie knocked it out of the park at Statements with her velvety chair and floral accent fabric choices! Campbell, can you come play at my house?

Hey guys - I have an announcement to make! 2018 marks the beginning of a new decade (and a new venture) for Shannon LaDuke Photography! For the past couple of months, I've been learning everything I can get my hands on about Real Estate Photography, and I have to say I'm officially hooked :)! I have a new super wide-angle 14mm lens, a new tripod, a new off-camera flash, and a fresh new website. After much consideration, I've decided to pursue this gig full-time. I'll certainly miss my families and seniors more than I want to even think about right now, but sadly there's not enough time in the day to tackle both people AND places! I have some seniors and families already on my spring schedule, and I'll probably sniffling through those sessions :(. I'll miss all my smiling faces, but I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

I had to go way back for the shot on the left. BABIES! Always love my time with these two, and I can't believe we're planning little sister's upcoming SENIOR session. This blinking thing is for the birds...

When the question is: "should we end with a few in our Christmas jammies?", the answer is always: "YES!"...

I love how the tree pops black and white, too. There's something timeless about it...

that smile with her daddy!

wish this had sound - his giggles are the absolute bestest!

don't you wanna touch his darling little nose and say, "boooop!"?

this tree basking in that afternoon window light...simply magical!

15/01/2018

love the way he looks at big sis! :)!

15/01/2018

so happy we shot around their new home - it made a beautifully classic backdrop!

the sitting down in front of the christmas tree thing was of course staged, but these magical moments weren't. this little guy adores his big sis! ❤️

I love shooting at Christmastime!

Before this shot,we weren't having much luck with still shots. 😂 I grabbed my phone pulled up a picture of my eleven year old Lucy on the way to Cotillion. In the shot she's staring directly into the camera. I said, "can you look into this circle just like Lucy did?". She said, "YES! WATCH ME!"...

when you're two, your primary task at a photo shoot is to make the photographer work for it! :)

For family sessions I often use burst mode, enabling me to capture several continuous shots. I also move around. A LOT. So... this project was quite the change of pace. The talented crew at B&F Engineering requested a long exposure shot of their Ram Roundabout project for the 2018 Engineering Excellence Award. On a cold December night, I set up a tri-pod, kept as still as humanly possible, and played with a 15 second exposure. It seemed like an eternity as several cars moved through the frame between the opening and closing clicks of the shutter. I love the way the light trails and starbursts turned out! Thanks for the opportunity, B&F - and good luck to you guys !

so much ❤️...

my first session with one of my fave fams was shot around their lovely home - seven short years ago. since then, the ladukes have celebrated countless milestones at the decastro address. brazilian feijoada, made-from-scratch bread, and the occasional caipirnha, with some spicy portuguese banter mixed in here and there. this last shoot was all kinds of bittersweet, as much of their home was already packed in anticipation of their impending move to georgia.
a.a. milne totally nailed it: "how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."...😪

12/01/2018

one more! I'm SO looking forward to spring senior sessions - love this class of 2018!

12/01/2018

we managed to get a few grins, too!

when we moved to hot springs, I'd been a high school teacher for over a decade. I changed things up with a stint in the four year old program at our church's preschool. it was ridiculously fun, and this guy was one of my FAVES. just hilarious, and he certainly kept us on our toes. each day my husband would ask for "drew bell stories", and there were plenty to tell. I'm sure he'll die a thousand deaths when I say he's still a charming little cutie-pie, but I'm saying it anyway! thanks, drew! you rocked it! :)
