Darren Medlock

On Sunday afternoon I got to take a trip up to the Medlock Farm to shoot some senior pictures.  It was a great location and as always the Medlocks were great to work with.  As we drove around the property we found several good spots along with a snake.  Needless to say we decided against using that rock for one of the photos. Ha  However there is another large rock close to the house that was perfect for what we wanted to do.  Here is a sneak peak at one of the many great photos from the afternoon.

Winter Wonderland

Who thinks that 22 degrees is too cold for a photo shoot?  Well not Chloe Rice!  We took advantage of the winter weather to get some senior pictures in.  It might have taken a little extra effort but we were able to get some beautiful snow pictures to begin her senior pictures.  The almost frozen creek was a great location along with a old barn that we have on our farm.   So glad that Chloe was willing to brave the temperatures and was a good sport about my some what crazy ideas.  Chloe is a senior at Walnut Ridge High School.  Here is a sneak peek with the barn I mention earlier!

Homecoming & Miss Arkansas Delta

What a great weekend!  Friday was basketball homecoming for Walnut Ridge.  The afternoon started with the pep rally.  All of the court looked great!  Walnut Ridge does things a little different than most schools since they have a Sweetheart Royalty along with the normal Homecoming Court.  The Sweetheart Royalty is made of the guys and is chosen by the girls basketball team.  This years court was Hayden Andrews, Freshman Knight, Luke Harper, Sophomore Knight, Kyle Nunley, Junior Knight, Cash Lee, Senior Knight, Gabe Boucherie, Knight of Honor and Tyler Andrews, King.   The homecoming court was filled with beautiful girls in gorgeous dresses.  They all did a great job picking out their homecoming dresses that was a wide range of pretty colors.  The homecoming court was Olivia Cox, Freshman Maid, Baylee Burris, Sophomore Maid, Kelsey Gentry, Junior Maid, Chloe Rice, Senior Maid, Katalina Holbrook, Maid of Honor, and Allyson McQuay, Queen.  Allyson and Tyler chose their pages which were for Allyson, Cameron Lawrence and Reed Martin.  Tyler chose Roxy Shoe and Brice Bullard.

Miss Arkansas Delta

I spent Saturday shooting photos at Miss Arkansas Delta.  Miss Arkansas Delta is a prelim for the Miss Arkansas and Miss Arkansas Outstanding Teen Pageants.  The executive director Maegan Inzer did a great job putting the pageant together!  The day started with rehearsals followed by private interview.  It is always nice to meet the ladies competing and visit with them while they wait to go into their interviews.  The pageant was held at Nettleton High School and began at 6:30.  The ladies all did a great job.  Last year was the first year for this prelim to be held and was won by Jacey Winn and Mercedes Bell.  Jacey was very successful at the Miss Arkansas Pageant in which is won the over all interview award, alpha interview award, newcomer award and placed in the Top 10!  Mercedes also did a great job at the Miss Arkansas Outstanding Teen Pageant.  She was also in the Top 10 and won a genesis award!  Some local title holders who will be competing this summer also came to help out.  Miss River Delta Emma Jumper was the emcee for the evening, Miss River Delta Outstanding Teen Ellie Stafford danced for entertainment along with Miss Central Arkansas Amber Ward playing the piano for entertainment.   The evening ended with the crowning of the new queens.  Lacey Moore won the Miss Arkansas Outstanding Teen title and Elli Fowler won the Miss Arkansas Delta title.  I can't wait to see what the year holds for these young ladies.

Teel Twins

Yesterday afternoon I got to do a sweet session with the two newest members of the Teel Family.  Kane and Kullen came in for their newborn session.  It was a good afternoon shooting these two sweet babies.  I can't wait for their next session!  Here is a sneak peak at what we got!
