I... haven't posted anything for months, and I'm not sure why (I've been shooting). So, for no reason, on a Saturday night, here are a couple outtakes from a session this week with mömandpöp. If you don't know, they're in the business of recording the greatest songs for children... evah. Check them out.

And now for something completely different... Tulips!

I took this in January, but I think the outfit would have been equally appropriate this morning... Love these 20-degree temp swings! (Thanks to Deanna Gerde!)

Here's a preview pic from a weekend shoot with Hannah Bradshaw, Kaley Kirkman, and Meredith Loy. We wound up with a ton of material, and I'm excited about continuing to go through it and will be posting more soon!

And... a few more recent studio shots of Deanna Gerde (a day late, oops 😉). I love working with dancers!

This photo is from a recent shoot, I'll post a few more later today!

You may have noticed that we have a new dancer on the roster this year. Hear what Deanna Gerde has to say about Chiaroscuro, the elegant and dramatic contemporary ballet by Artistic Director, Michael Fothergill. Tour de Force features four completely different pieces, and we can't wait to hear what moves you. Tickets at www.uaptc.edu/ballet!

I said I'd have some more photos from my recent work with Zeek Wright, and I do! We went into the studio for these, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Here are a few, head over to my blog to see the rest!

A couple of peeks from some work with Deanna Gerde when it was just too cold to be outside. We should've stopped for hot chocolate first! More to come.

A few different looks from Zeek Wright (you may recognize him from my cover photo ;-)) These are from the Little Rock and North Little rock riverfronts. We headed indoors after this, there will be some more next week!

Here are some previews from a couple shoots I did last week with the wonderful folks at the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub! It's an incredible makerspace located right across the river in North Little Rock, offering programs for youth and adults alike. There are wood and metal shops, 3D printing, screen printing, a ceramics studio, shared workspaces and too much more to mention. Check them out!
