12*20*17 [alford]

I had to go way back for the shot on the left. BABIES! Always love my time with these two, and I can't believe we're planning little sister's upcoming SENIOR session. This blinking thing is for the birds...

12*3*17 [decastro]

my first session with one of my fave fams was shot around their lovely home - seven short years ago. since then, the ladukes have celebrated countless milestones at the decastro address. brazilian feijoada, made-from-scratch bread, and the occasional caipirnha, with some spicy portuguese banter mixed in here and there. this last shoot was all kinds of bittersweet, as much of their home was already packed in anticipation of their impending move to georgia.
a.a. milne totally nailed it: "how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."...

This backdrop! I think it's quite fitting, as her dad was head of the Hot Springs Rotary 100 Year Project that made this dazzling mural happen. He brought the world-traveling street painter Pepe Gaka to town, who permanently brightened up Bathhouse Row. It's truly stunning. And with a little ray of sunshine smiling in front of it? Perfection... #thanksgooch#vibrantvibes

I remember thinking she was such a BIG kid when I took the shot on the left, and it feels like that was just a couple of days ago. Alas, she was the age my oldest daughter is now, and the time between pre-teen and senior is suddenly a blur...

11*11*17 [bordelon]

a couple of cameras, computers, and software programs ago, I had my first session with this sweet trio. much has changed, but their love and laughter together remain the same!
