Family Photos

Some from my own family this time. We took a day and went to visit our son, daughter in law and granddaughter for the day. It was warm and extremely windy out, but we still managed a few family pics outside on their lovely property. Always special, always memorable.... Thanks for a wonderful day, gang! Love you always.

Katrina and Derek

I first met the Buchholz family around 4 years ago when I was hired to photograph their daughter, Kayla's wedding at Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It was a memorable event and a great pleasure to photograph. Then, a year ago, I was contacted again and asked this time to photograph daughter Katrina's wedding. I was honored to be asked by the parents of multiple daughters to photograph more than one of their children's weddings. So this fall, on October 15, Katrina married her love, Derek Selsor at Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs. Fall is a beautiful time of year in the Ozarks and Eureka Springs is full of that natural beauty. Thorncrown Chapel sits in the forest and is surrounded by the warm colors of fall. After the ceremony, Katrina and Derek enjoyed a reception with family and friends in the Conservatory Room at the historic Crescent Hotel. A few of my favorite photographs from their special day are below. Again, it was a great pleasure to work with this lovely family. Best wishes to Katrina and Derek.

Caldwell Family Session (Buffalo National River Photographer)

I first met Melinda at my son and daughter in law's wedding shower earlier this summer. I was taking some pictures of the shower and she and I talked about her need for some family photos and a photograph she needed for her own business website. I gave her my card and we finally got the chance to get together and shoot these images at our favorite place, the Buffalo National River, near Ponca, AR. The fall colors were a little past their peak, but it still looked beautiful that day. I had a great time visiting with Melinda, Skyler and Rufus and capturing these images of them. The popular Steel Creek access is one of my favorite places to photograph people and you can see why. The beauty of nature is boundless here and what it does for your soul cannot be described in words. Here is a sneak peek from our session. Enjoy!
