Elsinger Engagement

This past Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure...honor to photograph my two favorite lovebirds. You see...this woman...Chris...is one of my best friends. Sure she's a few years my senior, but this woman LOVES me. 100% completely. She would take out anyone who gets in her way to protect me...my heart...my reputation.

Just ask her.

Or better yet, don't!

She has had a time of it all in her past. Many years of a broken and maimed picture of what a husband is intended for.

Until she met Mark.

As you can see, she finally knows what true love is. Just look into her eyes...you'll see it there.




Notice her "key" necklace? That's the key to his heart he had made for her. All together now...AWWWW....


I ADORE this photo! With and without the saying. But our other best friend found this saying and it's so true for them. She IS his princess and he IS her prince.


Watch out now!




This one speaks VOLUMES thru this picture. Those of you who have been a part of their story...you can see it.


And to wrap up this post and make everyone jealous...I've tried this on!!! WHEW!!!!

I love you 2 so very much and look forward to June where I get to celebrate with you both as you start your happily ever after!

The McGee Family

One of these ladies has been my mentor for going on 7 years now. So I was pleased to be able to spend the day with her and her entire family at their annual Easter celebration. We threw in some family photos while we were at it.

Vilonia Senior prom

This past weekend was the Jr/Sr Prom for all my youth from church. One sweet little couple asked if I would do thier pictures for them and I was happy to!

My First Wedding

I finally waded thru all 1,700+/- pictures.

Yes, that is in thousands.

And narrowed it to around 200 that they have to print however they want.

I learned a lot doing my first wedding. And excitedly looking forward to my next 2 scheduled ones this summer.

Here are just a few of my personal favorites. May not be theirs, but it's my site :-)


Getting her hair and makeup done by her girlfriends


her little sister was GUIDDY with excitement

After they walked back down the aisle and were the only 2 out the door...I caught this pic

Dancing with her new husband


Surprised her Daddy with a dance too


His little daughter was sad watching her daddy dance with the bride, so he danced with her too. Tugged my heart strings!

A Little Excited

Even more exciting...I have not had any wedding photos to share yet...and I just booked my THIRD wedding.

Hatcher Engagement Pics

Valentine's weekend I got to take my first engagement pictures. We had originally planned a beautiful country setting, however, our friendly blizzard here in the south thwarted that.

So, we headed to some great spots in downtown Conway. The results make me happy!


This was my 2nd shoot with sweet Jessica but my first time to meet Ryan


This picture makes tear up just a little at all they have ahead of them


His hand on her back...it gave me a sense of protection every time he would do that...


Look at HER!!!


They just loved each other


His smile and her sweetness...LOVE IT!!!!


Everyone together now...awwwww!


This was one of my favs for the color!

Looking forward to your wedding in just a few short weeks!
