thankful

 I am so thankful that I have the privileged of doing something I love and getting to work with so many amazing families. A big thanks to all of you who have supported me in this wonderful journey.

Happy Thanksgiving!

i heart paper

When I opened my google reader this morning and saw that this week on i heart faces the category is paper I knew exactly what I had to do. I know I have put this photo on my blog before, but it is one of my favorite family pics ever. There are lots of things I love about it...clothes, color, light, i love these people....but my favorite part is that when I pulled these books out as a prop for the pictures they all jumped right in, no faking it, and I think you can see it all over their faces. I took another book pics with the Chinos for their Fall pictures, you can see it here on Alison's header.

new york

I am crazy about my parents! It certainly doesn't hurt their case that they just took me along on a trip to New York, but it really is just because they are pretty wonderful...and so darn cute. We spent four days last week together and I managed to grab these two pics of their cuteness. It was an amazing trip and I could not believe how beautiful the leaves still were in Central Park.

I am thankful for great parents and yellow leaves.

antiques (little rock, ar family photographer)

 I am heading out of town this morning, a fun little getaway with my parents. I will be off until Friday so forgive me for no more blogging this week and if it takes me a while to answer emails or phone calls.

I wanted to leave you with a little peak at this fun family. I caught up with them last Thursday. Kerri is a local blogger who I knew through Twitter and her blog, but had never met. She picked the spot, an antique store in the Heights, and I was in love from the moment I pulled up. Great family. Great Location.

Have a great week!

pretty lady (little rock, ar wedding photographer)

this sweet bride and friend has been so patient with me while waiting for more of a look at her big day.

it was a beautiful wedding with perfect little details (i would have stolen her shoes if they were my size and the bridesmaids had amazing handmade earrings and hairpieces).

i love sisters!

and all the color and texture.

the big moment.

the gorgeous couple

and all their people.

it was a great day, thanks for letting me be there with you.

sarah (north little rock senior photographer)

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with this beautiful senior. Our time together was so fun as we talked through all the exciting things that a senior year holds and big plans for the coming year.

Other than some crazy wind we had beautiful weather to work with and Sarah had some great clothing changes, i love that about a senior session.

love this wall.

love that light.

big thanks to Sarah and her mom for spending their day off school with me.

prints and cards and holiday deadlines

 i am truly blown away by the fact that it is November and that in 2 short weeks it will be Thanksgiving. like most of you it has sneaked up on me and it is time to make some Christmas orders.
here are some Christmas card options. these options can be mixed and matched and slightly customized into 4x6 or 5x7 flat or folded cards (a 4x6 flat card can be mailed as a postcard with $0.28 postage). all sides of the cards are press printed and can include a combination of photos and text. we have already designed the Chinos card and so Alison was nice enough to let me use their photos for my templates.

Cards include envelopes and are sold in sets of 25

flat cards.....$2 per card

folded cards......$3 per card

i  have a few other Christmas card options that include a 4x8 photo card, a low res digital image, and discounted 4x6s...contact me for info.
*cards take approximately 1 week and all other print orders take around 2 weeks, the expected time extends the closer we get to Christmas.
* i will be out of town 11/15-11/18 and will not take orders during that time.
*orders for Christmas must be in by December 11th (that is 1 month from today)

thanks!

thankful

Fall is such a crazy time. Between Halloween, pumpkin patches, school parties, soccer, tennis, and general fall fun it is also my busiest season for work. Today as I crank through some serious editing I am so thankful for a job that I love and one I can do from home. Thankful that I get to work with wonderful people and see beautiful moments. 

Can you believe it is November? I am going to try to remember to be thankful daily.
