AUTHENTICITY OVER EVERYTHING
We live in a world where it’s far too easy to make fake look great. It’s why every single photo on this website and especially the stories below are filled with nothing but real photos of real clients. No styled shoots, no gimiicks, no pinterest page inspired work - just the most recent, most raw, and most real moments happening in my life and the lives of our clients lately.
Baby Kotter | Maternity Session
Baby #1 for the Kotter family! So glad we got to capture these before he/she comes. :)
Breaking down barriers. Profoto A1X
A cold evening in the rain with the new Profoto A1X flash and a Fujifilm GFX 50R. This shoot is a part of a really exciting project I am so honored to have been asked to be a part of. Check out a few of my favorite, creative images I’ve shot in quite a while.
Best of 2019
A wild year of highs and lows and lessons learned. Of the 40,000 images we delivered in 2019, these are my favorite 50 and a story about where I hope 2020 will take me!
lost near little rock
A little escape from Northwest Arkansas down to Little Rock and the Grandeur House to celebrate the wedding of two very new but instant friends. Haley + Joe are the kind of couple that make you want to celebrate with them, and I did.
Sassafrass Springs Vinyard Wedding Day
Love won. It took a little bit of fighting for it - but these two found each other just in time.
Twenty-Nineteen Fall Family Recap
Tulum Mexico Engagement . Victoria + Kenneth
YOU LOVE ME, EVEN WHEN I DON’T LOVE MYSELF, THE BEST PART OF ME WILL ALWAYS BE YOU. - UNKNOWN
Breathing in Brooklyn
It’s a remarkable thing feeling like you’ve found a secret place to hide in a city with 12 million people. Now imagine that your hiding place is one of the most iconic locations in the country and yet for every moment that brings daylight more into view another sound is added to your peripherals…. “All I’ve ever done is breath in a moment in front of me and press the right button at the right time.” Cheers to light, art, love, and simply learning to be more than just an artist or friend or personality or brand - to being a blessing to the ones we serve and blessed by the opportunities to serve them.
Something Southern. Kaley + DJ
Way out in the middle of nowhere on top of a hill just where the sun sets next to a beautiful white barn these two spent the perfect day saying “I do”. He’s a pro baseball player. She’s an event planner and type A with a capital A. This one was special - check it out.
Cooper Chapel Wedding Ed + Jill
I’ve been to Cooper Chapel again and again in my career. I love the way the light plays and the familiar smiles from the ladies who work there. I love the faces of the couples who have walked down this aisle but this one - this one was special.
A Moody kind of Monday.
This shoot was all about him (the groom who would see it) - just trying to capture her in a way that would forever document the beauty of the woman he married.
For the Record. Megan + Austin
"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." - Nietzsche
Lost in the woods. Danielle + Coltin
Just take a minute to disappear with me and these two. No plan. No big idea. Just a few hours set aside to wander and play in the woods.
Max + Brooke - The perfect wedding.
He’s been a buddy for six years and my right hand dude in this company for about as long. She’s the girl who kind of swooped in and stole his heart. This wedding was a perfectly designed culmination of so many amazing friends and a beautiful vision. Check it out.
Their Rainbow Baby . The Jones' Story
WITHOUT THE RAIN, THERE WOULD NEVER BE RAINBOWS
University of Arkansas Engagement Session in the fall
Eventually I have to give in and just shoot that beautiful fall color. The right couple, the right light, the right color all comes together and tells the story for me. These two wandered around the University of Arkansas campus just soaking up autumn and laughing about the wedding - right around the corner.
Arkansas Fall Engagement, Kaitlin + Jeremy
Brisk fall mornings at sunrise. Hot coffee and short hikes. Waterfalls and golden fields all waking up to the sound of these two embracing the chance to start the day together on a little adventure.
Arkansas Senior Photography only... cooler
What’s to tell? Fall color in Northwest Arkansas with a cool senior just enjoying the chance to look awesome in front of a camera. We could go on and on and on - but honestly, the simplicity here is what makes senior photos fun. Taking the chance to just make pretty photos because - well that’s just what you do when you’re a senior right?
Sunset in the Ozarks with Delia and Timothy
A moody engagement session at sunset in the ozarks between Arkansas and Missouri with two absolutely beautiful people. With a wedding scheduled next year at Cooper Chapel and the Ballroom at I street all planned by JLK weddings these two have stacked their big day with a few of my favorite people and places but this shoot was as much fun for me as it was beautiful for them.
An Elegant Oceanside Connecticut Wedding
An absolutely beautiful ocean side wedding with an open air garden themed reception at the Tokeneke Club in Darien, Connecticut just a few miles outside of Manhattan, New York. Featured in the New York times, this wedding was black tie, elegant, perfectly designed and more than anything - fun.
