Riley Wilks (Senior Portrait Photographer)

Last year I had the pleasure of taking senior portraits of Mason Wilks. Now it's his sister, Riley's turn. Fortunately, we were able to find a beautiful fall day among Riley's busy schedule and still have some warm temps for most of the afternoon. Riley and her family live on Fisherman's Haven Resort on Table Rock Lake in southwest Missouri. Their home is a great setting with beautiful grassy areas, giant trees, bluffs and of course the beautiful lake. Riley is so pretty and fun to be around. You can tell she loves the great outdoors.... oh and the Kansas City Chiefs, and volleyball, and much more!
Our afternoon session was great fun with some really nice people in a beautiful spot in the Ozarks..... I'm kinda lucky.
Here's a little sneak peek for you, Riley. The rest are on the way!

Lindsay and Owen (Eureka Springs Wedding Photographer)

I first met with Lindsay and Owen nearly a year before their planned wedding date of October 2, 2010. I knew right away that they would be a fun, light hearted couple and we would certainly create some awesome wedding day photographs. During our first meeting I suggested ways to plan that "first look" so that they could get together prior to their ceremony for photographs without any rush and stress. Owen came up with the idea for them to use blindfolds. I have to admit, I had never heard of doing that, but it was a cool idea. They pulled it off beautifully on the lawn of the Historic Crescent Hotel. Later their ceremony and reception were held at the Basin Park Hotel, another of Eureka Springs' great historic venues. What a great day all around, timing, weather, location... everything came together in a smooth, perfect flow. Here are a few photos that we captured that day.
