Father's Day, 2014

Father’s day 2014 has turned out to be one that we will long remember. At approximately 12:45am, Kristen’s water broke while she was sleeping. We happened to be staying at a small motel in a remote part of Arkansas when it happened and we managed to cram a 2 hour drive into much less time and make it safely to Mercy Hospital in Ft. Smith.

We checked in immediately and she was started on medications to stop labor or slow it down as long as possible. We have no idea how long that will last and so, we wait. Right now, Kristen is 31 weeks pregnant and the twins are weighing in between 3 and 4 pounds each. Chances are good that they will be healthy and safe if they decide to grace us with their presence in the next couple days. We are however, confined to the hospital in Ft. Smith as a transfer would be risky at this point.

We are in good spirits, very tired, a little (or a lot) freaked out and also, very excited to be on this journey together. And of course, we are deeply moved that so many of you have responded with words of encouragement, love, prayers and support. Thank you and we will keep you updated.

Brett & Maggie | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography

Say hello to Brett & Maggie. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with these two. Maggie, who works the night shift in a local ER, was full of interesting stories about her job. And Brett, was always quick to crack jokes and keep Maggie laughing and smiling the entire time. Here's a few images from our afternoon together. Enjoy.

Michael & Felicia | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography

Say hello to Michael and Felicia. For their engagement photos, they opted to hit the water instead of the road and I was of course, TOTALLY ok with that. We spent an evening on a friend's sailboat and had a total blast. I also didn't fall into the water or drop any lenses overboard while trying to get any of these shots so the evening turned out much better than expected :) Enjoy.

Dale & Katelyn | Northwest Arkansas Engagement Photography

Say hello to Dale and Katelyn, two very fun people to be around. They're getting married in November and we recently took a little trip in the Novomobile to create some engagement photos with them. We started off at Crystal Bridges and then as is typical, we moved onto the back country. Here's a few of our favorites. Enjoy!
