little pumpkin

Our little pumpkin is 3 months old! This is my nephew, Landon, who is growing like a weed! This past month I had two different photo shoots:: one for his 3 month pictures & of course, one in the pumpkin patch. I am enjoying my first little nephew. It's so much fun to see him growing up and learning how to do things like smile and laugh. He makes me smile so much!

little David:: Newborn Session:: Central Arkansas

A couple of weeks ago I went over to my friends, Jessica and Alan's, house for a special photo shoot of their new little man, David. On September 19th, their world completely changed...for the better. I mean, what could be better than this little guy?

Another friend of mine, Lisa, made me this cozy little "fringie" and David was the first baby to try it out. I love this prop! It is perfect for a newborn shoot! I told her she needs to start selling them, so if you want one let me know and I'll tell her she's in high demand! :)


Here are a few of my favorite pictures of little David::

Canton Bound!

As a photographer, I am beyond excited to see October arrive for many reasons: beautiful fall leaves, pumpkin patch trips and family portraits. For me, October means CANTON! My mom and I are taking a trip to Canton, Texas to stock up on photography props and I could not be more thrilled! I have wanted to go to the largest outdoor trade show for as long as I can remember. I grew up LOVING antiques! It's in my blood. My great grandmother, NaNa as we all called her, was the first woman in my hometown to own her own business. She owned her own gift store. I would give anything to go back and shop at her store. Dishes galore and pretty sit arounds... Anyway, mom and I are going to Canton and I have made a list. Are you ready for it? Here it is in no particular order. Keep in mind all of these things are to be used as photography props. :)

One of my favorite photographers, Lauren Clark, uses props in a fabulous way! I love when she posts new pictures to Facebook. She gives me all kinds of inspiration! I drool over her props. Here are just a few of my favorite! :)

Hopefully, I'll come back with a few cute props of my own.
