Welcome to the last week of 2015. This week, I'll be sharing some recap images of the adventures, the people and the projects from the year.

Say hello to Vincent & Rachel. I had the privilege of meeting them the day before Thanksgiving to discuss their wedding and also, to take them on an engagement photo adventure. We spent the afternoon adventuring around Fayetteville and the nearby countryside laughing, dodging the blustery winds and soaking up the last bit of Arkansas Fall. Here are a few of my favorite images from the afternoon. Enjoy. 

We recently had the opportunity to work with the Brittany Phillips Design and the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District on their new website. And after a series of shoots that required me to dress up, it was a nice change to put on some "get dirty" clothes and document some dedicated, hard-working volunteers as they cleaned waste out of a creek. Mount Kessler continues to undergo development by the city of Fayetteville and last week, volunteers along with members of the Beaver Watershed Alliance and the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District gathered at one of the areas to clean waste out of a creek. 

For three hours, volunteers braved the plummeting temperatures wandering, wading and collaborating to haul out as much debris as they could. At the end of the night, there was pizza, hot chocolate and even a small raffle with some prizes. But most importantly, there was the camaraderie of like-minded individuals coming together around a common goal, to help keep Arkansas beautiful. Here's a few images from the event. Enjoy. 

The Boston Mountain Solid Waste District (BMSWD) is one of eight regional districts in Arkansas designed  to provide environmentally sound and economically feasible solid waste management. BMSWD recently went through a re-branding phase, courtesy of Brittany Phillips Design and we were hired to create imagery for their new website and marketing materials. The website called for landscape imagery of the Boston Mountains and also, images of the types of recyclables that the BMSWD handles. If you've ever wondered what type of things you could dispose of at BMSWD or if you just like the Boston Mountains, feel free to peruse the following images.
