"Can you do a family session with 40 people?"

ABSOLUTELY!!! Bring it on.

In an hour session not only did we get a big huge group picture, we also got individuals of everyone, each family group, couple portraits, and a bunch of fun stuff.

What a fun priceless memory. ❤

Wedding Sneak Peek

This wedding was so full of personal touches it was hard to take it all in. The bride even made her own wedding dress. As well as painted her own shoes, made the grooms tie, all the "florals", AND all the reception decor. And to end the perfect night they flew into the sunset on their plane...with me stowed in the back of course. haha There is so much more to show off but this is a little taste for now.

I just looked at the big folder of all of Tina's sessions. We just completed our 13th sessions together this morning. How fun is that?!

When I tell you we have THE WORST luck with our scheduling....it's either a million degrees, raining, freezing or something. Every single time. So today we started at 7:15 in the morning but that is no match for Arkansas heat. We were both drenched in sweat but the other thing about Tina's sessions besides our terrible timing is that not matter the circumstances we get KILLER shots each time. We always walkaway with something super cool that we are proud of.

If you are in the Little Rock area and need a personal trainer this is your girl. 10/10 would recommend. :)

Throwback to one of our first shoots.

Let's face it....menus with pictures of the food are far superior to menus without. Especially if the food is this gooooood. And let me tell you...it's ALL good!!!

Mockingbird Bar and Tacos is jewel in the SOMA food scene. They invited me out to showcase several new menu items and to get some new updated images that would be cohesive for marketing. It was a blast getting to meet the lovely staff and masterminds responsible for these creations. Do yourself a favor and go check them out. I know I'll be going back...especially for their amazing brunch!!

What all would you order off this menu?!!

One of my absolute favorite weeks of the year is coming up! The Bodi Summit Sessions!!

Every year for the last 9 years Ive headed to whatever city the conference was being held and did marketing sessions for these amazing humans. We do individuals and huge teams. These images help their social media marketing and are just plain fun. Thru these years I have made some of the best friends you could ask for. It's more like a reunion than a work trip.

This year is a bit different for me so I won't be doing 5 days of shoots. Only 2!! Which is not enough time with my girls but I'll take what I can get.

If you are attending please message me if you'd like a session. I'll send the sign up link!

Can't wait to see you all!!!

*Photos from 2022 because I guess I forgot to make a 2023 highlight album.

Hey hey rockstars! I know it's been quiet around here but trust me I have a lot going on behind the scenes. So let's do some updates!

❤ We will start with the personal update. I'm about a month post-op from ankle surgery. I'm out of my cast and stitches are gone. I'm going to be rocking this tall walking boot for a while but Ive started smaller shoots back. Woohoo! Physical therapy starts in a few weeks after my 6 week checkup. But Im feeling good and optimistic that will be back better than ever by all the fall madness. So don't hesitate to message me about shoots. I'm going stir crazy over here.

❤ I'm about to redo my website to include more of my commercial and marketing work. My website is very wedding heavy at the moment. But have no fear....Im still doing weddings. I'll probably always do weddings. haha And have some awesome ones coming up Im super excited about. I just have a lot of other things I love doing that don't get showcased enough.

❤ I've decided to make some more big albums on here to contain not just individual sessions but a type of session. I have some folders (seniors, mini sessions, business portraits, etc) But I really haven't gathered my other areas like real estate and food in one spot yet. Im working on it. I tend to just post things in the timeline then when I go to find a certain images I have to scroll forever. So when I create these albums you may see stuff Ive posted before but I'm getting to an easily found folder. Get ready! It's gonna be a mess for a bit but I promise it's all going to awesome.

❤ Also I realized the reels and tiktoks I post rarely get seen on here so I'll start trying to repost them here too. Below are two behind the scenes reels from some super fun recent projects. The Revival: Met Gala Inspired Fashion Event and piiiiiie! Lots of and lots of pie!!! Enjoy.

I think thats all for now. You guys are awesome! 😀

Congratulations to Deziree and D. You are going to be amazing parents to that beautiful baby girl.
