Thank You.

Last week, we made a very bold statement and that statement was followed by a video that helped us make a big announcement. For the last 8 years Novo Studio has been made up of myself (Philip) and at weddings or crunching numbers, my wife (Kristen). Unless you count our bulldog (affectionately known as "the bosco"), it's just been the two of us. That number changed a few weeks before Christmas when we found out that we were going to have a baby. And then, it changed again the day before this video went live, when we found out that we were actually having two babies. We are still reeling with excitement and fear from this news but after 10 years of marriage, we couldn't be more ready to start a family with two little ones. I made the video as a simple way to announce our news to our family and friends, many of whom are also colleagues and clients. However, I didn't anticipate the overwhelming response. Our phones buzzed and rang with congratulations and well-wishes, tips on raising twins and a few wisecracks telling us to "brace ourselves". And we just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to you all. It's truly a blessing to be able to share this part of our lives with you. I'm no Ann Geddes, but I do believe I'll be posting a few more baby pictures in the future :)

Cheers.

2013 // A Year In Images | Northwest Arkansas Photography

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.

Behind the Scenes | Heli-pad portrait

It's been another week of heavy shooting. This week, two major commercial shoots have kept me switching lenses, charging batteries and battling the weather. But no matter how busy things get, I have a rule: There's ALWAYS time for a heli-pad portrait. Here's me and my good friend Ryan Slone from DOXA acting like we know how to direct a helicopter landing. (We don't)

Happy Weekend!
