Northwest Arkansas Portrait Photography- Fall Family Session

Check out my favorite family session from this year.   It may also be in the running for my favorite family shoot ever, possibly because Addie & Byron are super laid back and look pretty darn good in front of my camera.  It helped to make my job easy!  The color scheme within the outfits they chose for their session really pulled this fall family session together.

We met for their session at Tanyard Creek in Bella Vista.  Tanyard will always hold a special place in my heart.  My very first session (an engagement) was held there way back when.  Awww, memories :)  Photographing at Tanyard Creek is fun because it gives a chance to relax, have a little fun at the park, and get to know my clients better while walking from one cool shooting spot to the next. 

Northwest Arkansas Portrait Photography- Baby Jaiden

This is only my second newborn shoot as I typically shoot weddings and individuals, such as young adults, seniors or fashionistas.  I enjoyed this session and it was something out of the norm for me.  We photographed Baby J in my home in the sun-room which allowed for lots of natural light.  I also popped on my external flash from time to time to help fill in the shadows for certain shots.

  I'll be honest I usually opt out of the in-home studio sessions because I have a HUGE pet peeve for cheesy studio set-ups that I see a lot of times from other photographers.  I'll put myself out there on this one--I had feared I wouldn't be able to produce the images I want to offer to my clients.  I am not a studio photographer but sessions like this make me want to create more of this fabulous and casual studio set up I envision in my head.  I am happy with the outcome. These beautiful baby photos aren't too cheesy :)
