Happy Thanksgiving.
No words I type here will be able to put into proper perspective, the amount of gratitude I have for my clients, my friends, my colleagues and for those of you who stumble onto my site in one way or another and appreciate my work. Here’s to hoping that you have ample time to eat too much, make memories with your families and most importantly, breathe.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Today on the blog, Brian and Allison, a little bit of fall foliage and a whole lotta love.
Happy Friday Everyone.
José & Hannah | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
It was lots of fun spending the afternoon with these two. Thankfully, our blatant trespassing went unseen and unprosecuted. You only live once. Happy Weekend y’all.
Jesse & Cori | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Meet Jesse and Cori. Their only requests for their engagement photos were quirky, fun, a playground and some trees. After an afternoon of driving, exploring and adventuring, we managed to find "a few" trees, some questionable playground equipment and some other local oddities, which added up to loads of quirky fun. Here's a few images from our adventures together. Happy Tuesday.
Austin & Bridget | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Well, Summer is in full swing. And for me, that means more commercial work, a few weddings here and there and some time to hang out with fun engaged couples like Austin and Bridget. We had fun together, hanging out at Block Street Records and dodging thunder storms. Here’s a few images from our afternoon together. Happy Tuesday.
George & Bea | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Congratulations to George and Bea on their recent engagement. During last weekend's Holi Festival in Fayetteville Arkansas, George proposed to Bea where they actually met years ago. Amidst loud dance music and colored powder flying everywhere, George got down on one knee and asked Bea to marry him.
I was in a tricky situation, because...
Nick & Jessica | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
When your wedding clients need a few engagement photos for their save the date cards, you make quick arrangements, squish schedules and have some fun for an hour or so. That's just what Nick, Jessica and myself did earlier this year and it was a lot of fun. In the course of an hour, they rode bicycles, posed on construction equipment, sprayed a bottle of champagne and still had time to get some "lovey dovey" pictures before the sun set. Sometime soon when our schedules align once again, we'll hit the road for some more shenanigans and photographs. In the meantime, their family and friends have these lovely gems to look forward to along with their save the date cards.
Ben & Julia | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
Even with the the rain, Ben and Julie's Wedding was a beautiful start to the year. Congratulations and Best Wishes, you two. Thanks for having me be a part of your beautiful celebration!
Paxton & Laura | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
As photographers, we can't change the weather so we have to roll with the punches. No rain is ideal, but a best case scenario would be a little bit of rain on at the end of engagement photos. That's exactly what happened with Paxton and Laura a couple months back. We made it through 98% of the photoshoot before it started pouring down rain. I enjoyed hanging out with these two immensely and I can't wait to celebrate with them in a couple of months!
The Year In Rewind | Northwest Arkansas Wedding Photography
A heartfelt thank you to all of the newlyweds who invited me into their lives and made me (and my cameras) a part of their celebrations. This blog post contains some of my favorite wedding and engagement images from the year. Cheers and Happy New Year.
Stephen & Tristen | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography
Say hello to Stephen and Tristen. To celebrate their engagement, we traveled to one of their (and my) favorite places on earth, The Buffalo River Valley. There, we explored a less-than-stable house, hiked the Lost Valley hiking trail and took a dip in the Buffalo River. (they did, I watched from the shore). Enjoy the photos.

Happy 2017, I'm on Sabbatical
After incredibly busy Spring, Summer and Fall seasons of work and life, I am starting 2017 by taking a self-imposed "Creative Sabbatical." This simply means that for the first 2 months of the year, I will be accepting work on a limited basis with the intention of using the rest of my time to decompress, recharge, learn some things and rework some aspects of Novo Studio. I will also be taking more time to focus on creating personal photographs. (Translation... more driving, exploring and trespassing). I will be posting a few updates here on the blog and on social media. As for my personal work, you can feel free to follow along on my website, on my Flickr page and on my Instagram page. Cheers to a New Year, see you soon.
