Today on the blog, we sharing some recent portrait work. Portrait photography for us ranges from our typical commercial clients, to high school seniors and families (especially in the fall months). Today’s blog post is made up of University of Arkansas School of Art Faculty members, insurance brokers, lawyers, families, high school seniors, individuals featured in AY Magazine, investment firm associates, a couple celebrating their 25 year wedding anniversary and new associates for Marlon Blackwell Architects. Although most of the stuff we share through our social media channels is commercial work, we feel it is important to note that with regards to portrait photography, we love to work with families, high school seniors and other individuals as well.

Cheers, friends!

Today on the blog: A few recent portraits with Bentonville Highschool Senior, Devin Hearn.

Cheers!

I love Fall for a great many reasons. One of the biggest is that I can shoot a wedding without sweating through my shirt. Another really big one is that I inevitably get to create senior portraits this time of year. The mixture of turning colors, more tolerable weather and the opportunity to work with creative clients is a welcome mix of busyness. This is Elizabeth and today, I'm sharing a few of my favorite photos from her senior session. Enjoy. 

Say hello to Allison Miller, a Rogers Heritage Highschool Senior. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of spending the afternoon with Allison and creating some senior portraits for her. Here's a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

Say hello to Riley Schmitt. He's a Senior at Rogers High School and he is quite possibly the first person ever ask me for "not too much fall color" in his senior portraits. I was of course, happy to oblige. Here's a few of my favorites. Enjoy. 

Say hello to Alex Dixon, a senior at Bentonville High School. She's smart, and she has the busy schedule of AP and College classes to prove it. But what you'll probably never guess about her, is that she LOVES hardcore rap music. On a recent evening, I had the opportunity to hang out with Alex and her family and create some senior portraits. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy. 

Say hello to Erin O'Brien, a class of 2016 student at Bentonville High School. I recently had the opportunity to hang out with Erin and her mom, Michele while creating some senior portraits.  Here's a few of my favorites. Enjoy. 

"Busy, busy, busy." But VERY "Thankful, thankful, thankful." Here's a few images from our recent shoots. Cheers to the weekend. 

Say hello to Sara George. Even though she's only 16 years old, she recently completed here entire high school curriculum and is now ready to tackle college. To celebrate, we loaded up in the Novomobile, hit the road and created some senior portraits with her along the way. Here's a few of our favorites. Enjoy!

Say hello to Emma Pitts. She's quiet, sophisticated and has an impeccable eye for fashion. Her goal in fact, is to study fashion and to work in the industry long-term. She requested a few "fall" pictures for her senior portraits but then, left it up to us on where to go after. Naturally, we headed out to a favorite abandonment and then, to a favorite derelict car. Here's a few of the resulting images. Enjoy!

Meet Dalin Hearn, a Bentonville Highschool Senior. He's a starting pitcher for the Bentonville Tigers Baseball team and he plans to join the armed forces and train to become a Ranger. A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to hang out with Dalin and create some senior portraits. Here's a few of our favorites. Enjoy.

We recently had the opportunity to hang out with Mackenzie, a Rogers Highschool Senior. We ventured out to her family's lake house for her senior pictures and it was a lot of fun to explore the area and hear some of Mackenzie's great stories and memories from the place. Here are a few of our favorite images from the evening. Enjoy. 

Say hello to Jenna McCollum. Jenna is a Senior at Bentonville High school. Although she has a very relaxed class schedule this semester, she stays busy by playing cello in the school orchestra and dancing on the school's dance team. We managed to dodge the rain showers and brave the mosquitoes to create some beautiful senior portraits for her this week. Here's a few of our favorites. Enjoy!

A BIG Congratulations to Rachel Young. Rachel is a Senior this year at Rogers High School and of course, that means Senior Portraits. Earlier this week, we loaded up the Novomobile with camera equipment, awesome clothes, Rachel and her Mother and headed out to explore the area. Here's a few of our favorite images from the evening. Enjoy!

Well, it finally stopped snowing long enough to do some senior portraits. Congratulations to Olivia Paschal for being our first senior this year. Here's a few of her senior portraits. Enjoy.

If I had to pick one word to sum up the year, I don't know what it would be. I suppose you can't pick just one word to sum up anything. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  And this blog post, with it's "20+" images would mathematically be more words than I would care to list out here. But hopefully, these images in some small way, begin to describe how much fun we've had being creative in 2013 (and quite possibly, late 2012). We're truly thankful for this last year and we're very excited for the next. Onward and Enjoy. 

Meet Maris Lee. She's a senior at Rogers High School this year and she also happens to be the younger sister of Palmer Lee, a singer songwriter and member of the band 3rd and Union. We met up in downtown Springdale to create some senior portraits and had a blast hanging out and goofing off. Here's a few of our favorites images from the shoot. Special thanks to Warehouse 54 for allowing us inside their space and to the people who didn't run over when I was shooting in the street. 

Max Harrell is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He's quiet, yet confident with an air of humility about him. I guessed that he played football because he showed up to the studio with some pads and a helmet. But it wasn't until we were already driving to locations for his senior pictures that I casually asked him what position he played on the football team. "Quarterback, he replied."

Here's a few of our favorite images. Enjoy. 

If you ever meet Hannah Owen during one of the local triathlons, it'll be as she's passing you. Hannah's parents who are also active triathletes and runners own and operate SkinStrong, a company that manufactures skin care products for triathletes, cyclists and runners. Although Hannah stays super busy with training, she was able to take some time out of her busy schedule to hang out for some senior photos. Here's a few of our favorites. Enjoy!
