We were recently hired by Feast and Field Magazine to create some images for an editorial story featuring Cooks Venture and it’s CEO and Founder, Matthew Wadiak. The story was recently published and so today, we are able to share some of the images. Living and working as a photographer in Northwest Arkansas, you are bound to do some sort of work in the poultry industry. And as far as our experience has been, the Cooks Venture birds are some of the…click to read more.

Hello and welcome to the last blog post of 2021. Traditionally, we have shared our favorite images from the past year. Of course, we have a lot of favorites and so our posts have pretty much been a photodump smorgasbord from the past year. This year, challenged ourselves to find and share 21 photos from the past year, along with a short blurb or story behind each one. So without further adieu, here they are. Enjoy.

Through the years, people have turned all sorts of hobbies into profitable businesses. For Jason Hayes, this has been achieved through his love of thrift store treasure hunting and reselling. As a teenager, I used to frequent thrift stores, due to the fact that you could find really awesome stuff there for cheap. And while that still remains true, there is another side to the thrift store industry; treasure hunting. (click to read more)

Today on the blog, we are pleased to share a somewhat extensive photo recap of the 2021 Arkansas Enduro Series. The five races that make up the Arkansas Enduro Series were held at 5 unique locations this year. And after the craziness and instability of 2020, the participants were eager to get back into the routines of training, racing and overall fun and comraderie. This year’s series did not disappoint.

Today is special day. We are pleased to finally be able to share some images of The Tree House, a new “speak-easy” inspired establishment in Downtown Bentonville, Arkansas. Make your way into the unassuming little house and you feel as if you’ve stepped into someone’s living room. You may also feel as if you’ve stepped back in time, as the decor in the living room (as well as the other rooms) would lead you to believe that’s the case.

Make your way past the hidden door into the kitchen area and you will find yourself in a…(click to read more)

Today on the blog: A compilation of recent commercial headshots and professional portraits of some of the best people in our little corner of the state. Our headshot and portrait clients range from people featured in magazine articles, to real estate agents, to college professors, food and beverage workers, healthcare professionals, and even (as you’ll see below), professional cyclists. On average, 75 to 80 percent of the people we work with say “I hate having my picture taken.” And that’s ok, because we hate having our pictures taken too. No seriously, we do. But having that connection makes us empathetic towards the people we work with and we try to make the whole process as quick, as painless and as easy going as we can make it. It’s always intriguing to meet new people and learn more about their line of work during the process of creating their portraits. And as you can see from the photos, we tend to have a bit of fun too. If you or someone you know needs updated professional headshots or commercial photography, feel free to contact us.

Today on the blog: Recent editorial photography work featuring Innovative Dental in Springfield Missouri. To say this is the nicest place we’ve ever had the pleasure of working would be a drastic understatement. Innovative Dental is led by Dr. Grant Olson, who specializes in dental, ortho, cosmetic and implant work. His talent is proven by his national and in some cases, international client base. And it certainly helps that the facility acts as a sort of spa retreat for everyone that walks through the doors. Among the favorite amenities are… (click to read more)

Recently, we paid a visit to the newly opened Osage Park, located in Bentonville Arkansas. The Peel Compton Foundation tasked us with providing them some marketing photos, highlighting the beautiful natural settings as well as the stunning architecture designs and details of the spaces. The park is officially open and for the most part, complete. (at the time of the photoshoot, the archery area was still incomplete).

The park itself is a carefully curated mixture of…(click to read more)

We recently had the opportunity to create a promotional video highlighting and celebrating the collaborative effort between longtime local Harris Baking Company and privately held supermarket chain, HEB Stores Inc. For awhile now, Harris has been tasked with producing Sweet Hawaiian products under HEB’s “Aloha” name. When HEB requested a video presentation to show at their annual meeting, Harris Baking turned to us and allowed us to create the presentation.

Unique to this project was the fact that…(click to read more)

Say hello to Mavis Wine Company, a brand new and already-popular business in Downtown Rogers. Owners Jeffery and Meghan opened up the small wine shop / bodega / eating establishment recently, after moving from Los Angeles. Coming from the film industry, the two decided they needed new experiences and a somewhat slower pace of life.

We recently interviewed them for a Go Downtown Rogers social media feature and we are also sharing the photos, along with the interview here on the blog. It’s a good read and their space photographs extremely well. But if you don’t make a trip down here to try their delicious food and wine in person, you will TRULY be missing out.
