Weekend With My Children, part 2

These posts are a little out of order in that I shot these images the day before I shot the ones in the last post. The older of my two sons, Ryan, his wife, Amanda and their two sweet little girls, Madison and Hannah were here for a weekend visit and we managed a little family session out in the buttercups late on Saturday afternoon.  It's always fun to have them over for some family time, and Madison is turning into a little horse lover. 

It was a great weekend spending time with both of our children and their families.

Weekend with my children

It was one of those spur of the moment things on Sunday evening. I had been watching this tree on this hill for several seasons and visualizing a portrait session here. It's just at the top of the hill above the house where Austin and Hailey live so I had passed it many times.  We talked about shooting here, and we had been talking about a session... soon.  It's a busy time of year around here so it's hard for us to connect our schedules sometimes, even though we only live 10 minutes apart.  But the call came in on Sunday evening... the light was right, the clouds were glorious.. let's do it.. now. So I jumped in my truck and buzzed up the hill to capture these images. The only downside was the weather. It was windy as you can see, but the wind was out of the north at about 25 mpi and it was barely 50 degrees. We were all kind of cold, but we pulled off some good shots anyway. Thanks to Austin and Hailey for getting out there.  Love these pics and I love these people.

Randi and Jeff are married Eureka Springs, Arkansas Wedding Photographer

First of all, I have to say that I regret the delay in blog posts here, but not the reason why. In recent months I have been very busy with the planning stages for a new home/office/ studio. More on that later.

Randi and Jeff are just incredibly sweet people who are a perfect pair. It was so easy to photograph them and their families. Their wedding ceremony was held at Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on March 31, 2012. The reception was held at the Historic Basin Park Hotel. At cake cutting time they were successful at making a mess without making TOO big a mess.  Posting a few photos here for you, Randi and Jeff. I will be in touch with all the rest very soon!
