Eliza is a cute little 6 week old from Arkansas. She was wide awake…even though all her mommy wanted was a sleepy baby picture. 🙂
So, I took pictures of her itty bitty parts until she finally conked out!
We did it….a sleeping baby!!
More cute babies to come…

One of my latest adventures was a slew of photo sessions in Fayetteville, Arkansas over Thanksgiving week. When I found out we would be visiting the area, I immediately emailed some of the local children’s boutiques to see if they’d be interested in teaming up with me to do an event.
Bernice has a great web presence and emailed back right away! Our style blends perfectly…a mix of modern and vintage. Her store front, Terra Tots, sells everything from green baby furniture to cloth diapers and unique baby toys.
Here she is with her daughter, Bergen…
And with her right hand man…
Here are a few shots of the store. The stained concrete floors were amazing with the open loft feel and vintage furniture.
A few gorgeous pieces of furniture…
Such a cute store and sweet girl…I can’t wait to go back next year!

Super cute twin boys came by the studio yesterday…
They are 3 months old and not sitting yet, so I had to get creative with poses for them!
Here they are propped on the white sofa for a mere second until one or the other of them fell over! Thank goodness for helpers. And it didn’t phase them…they kept on trying to sit up!
The ooey-gooey smiles came when they were looking right at their mom. Ahhh….
Such sweet little boys…you make my job fun!

There is nothing like a newborn…really. They are a world of promise all wrapped up in a tiny little package.
Sweet little Eden had stayed awake for hours and hours before meeting me, so it didn’t take long for her to konk out! She was such a petite little thing…and I had fun using some of my girly-girl props with her. I even got to introduce her to her first pink pacifier. 🙂
Such a beautiful family…
Santa Baby…
Autumn and Nathan…I loved getting to know you both. Eden is the perfect addition to your family and I hope these images will be meaningful for years to come.

There are times when life throws you a curve ball. When you just have to roll with the punches…and see where it takes you! Yesterday, my 3:30 photo session at the beach quickly turned into 4:15 and we had about 30 minutes to chase the sun down. Due to traffic, unforeseen circumstances and little carsick boy we were a little delayed.
BUT…this didn’t stop us from having a good time. We worked it out…double time.
We kept the kids smiling and posing with the promise to RUN at the end of the photo session. Here’s the last shot of the day…makes my heart happy.
And with that, a perfect end to a Friday.

There’s this thing that happens around this time of year…my blog goes by the wayside. I am trying to keep my head above water with photo sessions, print orders, client meetings, etc. and the poor blog gets a little neglected. So, in an effort to keep you all updated, here’s some pictures of my holiday packaging.
I love these chocolate brown photo boxes with satin ribbon bows and custom stickers. Don’t they look festive!?
Here’s a little trick that Laura of Ascot Friday taught me about this ribbon…it’s actually yardage. I buy a yard of crepe back satin and cut about 2 inches down then give it a hearty rip. The ends will curl and you have a nice fat piece of ribbon to tie into bows. I love the way it looks and it’s so much cheaper than buying a wide ribbon of that quality.
I promise to share more soon…I had two more photo sessions today, one tomorrow and a big one year old birthday bash on Saturday. Not to mention the family photographs from Arkansas AND the photo sessions I did there at Terra Tots.
Like I said, just trying to keep my head above water!!

This last week has been filled with lots of laughter, shared meals, games and cousin time. We’ve spent the week in northwest Arkansas with lots and lots of Eldridges. More than I even knew I was related to! Family is wonderful and being able to have everyone together is the icing on the cake.
Here is just a little peek into our week…
Lots more coming…I’ve been a busy girl with lots of photo sessions to share!

I’ve had an influx of toddlers with new siblings. It’s so fun to see how the family dynamic changes…especially because I remember going through the change not too long ago. And what’s even funnier is 6 months from now, these toddlers won’t even REMEMBER what life was like without their little sibling.
Here’s Jack when I met him a year ago…
And here’s Jack now with his new little sister.
She’s pretty cute.
And I think Jack looks pretty happy to be a big brother!
Such a cute family and I’m so happy to be able to photograph Jack with his new little sister. 🙂

Do your remember this baby?
You’re never going to believe this is her now…
I’m so lucky to get to see babies grow up…I’ll be able to say some day, I met you when you were just a week old!
Here’s Tessa and her mommy back then…
And now…
And a sweet family picture…
Ann and Michael…thanks for having me back! I loved seeing Tessa again…she keeps getting cuter. 🙂

I spent the afternoon editing pictures from this week and I had to share some images from a photo session that just made me smile. One year old Tui brought along an entourage…they sang him his own version of the ABCs, they were jumping and clapping and being silly, just to make him smile. This little boy is LOVED.
We were at a garden where everything was small in scale. Perfect for a one year old exploring the world!
Here is Tui with his mom and dad…
I’m winding down another busy week of photo sessions! I’ll be at Rascals to Rebels this weekend in Rossmoor…so I’ll end the week with a bang!!
