Your'e Still Here???

2010-09-05T14:49:00.003-05:00

Head on over to Luluphotog.com!

It is where all the fun moved to.

Lily!

2010-09-04T13:58:00.012-05:00

Oh how I love your baby blues, sweet lil' 2nd cousin of mine.

The "A" Team!

2010-08-29T07:22:00.014-05:00

Lulu meets up with the A-Team for a fun-packed session! This family is so gorgeous!

What to Wear for your Session!

2010-08-12T20:50:00.002-05:00

I think out of all the questions I receive from my clients, one always wins out: WHAT DO WE WEAR??? I always try to point my clients in the direction of color and texture. Don't be afraid of branching out a little. It is perfectly alright if everyone doesn't wear white shirts, I promise! (Not that there is anything wrong with that...but it isn't the only option!) :)

It always works well with groups of people (family sessions, sibling sessions, etc.) when they pick a few colors and go from there. I found this site that even gives ideas of making it all come together. You don't even have to go shopping! Just go peek in every one's closets and see what colors are predominant in each. After you get the basics laid out, throw a scarf on Momma, a hat on lil' brother, a tutu and leggings on big sis and you are ready to go! Think outside the box...sometimes those are the best session outfits.

Here is the link if you want to get your creative juices flowing!

Booking for fall now...keep in mind that Saturdays fill up fast!
Fall family sessions include about an hour of shooting (longer if we need it) and the complete gallery of edited images on CD. You will love being able to print your own holiday cards and use enlarged prints for Christmas presents! Sessions for the remainder of 2010 (September-December) are $150. Having access to all of your photos and not just 2 or 3 will prove invaluable. Email me at ebstuart@conwaycorp.net to reserve your session today.
I look forward to it!

Elleigh 3 weeks

2010-08-03T13:50:00.009-05:00

Welcome to the world, sweet Elleigh! She was such a dream baby model...just sleeping away the day. With three older brothers, I think she will have lots of love and protection during her life.

Kiley and Kinley

2010-08-01T20:57:00.013-05:00

Do you remember the "LuLu 2009 Pic of the Year?" LuLu's Winner always receives a complimentary session to use the following year and here it is! I love farm sessions. Something about the combination of family, haybales, rustic vehicles and the smell of cattle. It takes me back to my roots, for sure. These girls capture my heart every time I get to see them...now go feast your eyes on their sweetness!

Kiley's first show heifer, Princess!

Taking a little drive with her Grandad!

One Year Old Twins!

2010-07-29T15:35:00.010-05:00

Be still my heart. I just adore twins. I may have to go get me some. These little cuties are Blake and Caroline and they happen to love ginormous lollipops.

Anna Grace

2010-07-28T20:03:00.007-05:00

I just loved getting to photograph this sweet little girl. It took a lot of prayer to get her here and her family just eats her up!

Logan, 12 days

2010-07-13T17:38:00.005-05:00

Meet baby Logan...who loves to sleep on his back! I have known his Mommy since she was in high school, so it is very sweet for me to get to photograph her firstborn child! Congrats you guys!

Olivia, 3 weeks

2010-07-08T14:31:00.007-05:00

Miss Olivia was just the best model today! She didn't want to sleep at all at first, which was fine by me since she has the most amazing eyes. She will definitely be a cherished thing...with sweet parents and three older siblings. Welcome to the world, Livi.

Look at her little pinkie finger curled in...I just want to eat her up!

Introducing Gabe...6 whole days old.

2010-06-28T14:09:00.010-05:00

Meet Gabriel. One day he is going to be a mighty warrior, but today he just decided to sleep. I am telling you, this little fella is a hunk of love! He has two adventuresome siblings that will be sure to teach him the ropes one of these days.

I had to throw this one in there...who can resist that pudgy face?

Introducing Lillian

2010-06-08T14:05:00.010-05:00

My friend, Brittney and I go way back. We are going on 15 years of friendship and it brings such joy to my soul to see her family grow. God has blessed them with three very sweet girls. Their newest is Lillian, 8 pounds of pure sugar. Let Britt know your fave!

i heart the beach.

2010-06-06T20:50:00.007-05:00

We got to take the boys to the beach this past week! It was their first trip to the sand in about 4 years and they loved it. I would have been quite content to stay there the rest of the summer and take sunset pics for people at night. The proceeds might have possibly covered at least my daily intake of shrimp! Hope you are having a great summer!
hugs.

Wes and Angela: Tie the Knot!

2010-05-10T13:18:00.032-05:00

It was sunny and the air was brisk. It was a perfect day to get married! The love was apparent between these two! What a joy to be a part of their much anticipated day. Did you know that Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding? He gave his first glimpse of glory when He turned water into wine at the ceremonial union of a couple. That just makes me smile.

I have to give a special shout out to Michelle, for keeping me company on the drive and ensuring that everything went smoothly. You rock. Thank you for the wedding jokes and keeping me laughing.

And, now, I want to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer.

Angela's Bridal Session

2010-05-09T21:14:00.012-05:00

YAY! I shot the most precious wedding this weekend! Angela and Wes are now married and I finally get to share her bridal session with you. We headed to the Old Mill in North Little Rock. At first, I thought we had made the most horrendous mistake ever as the place crawled with high school kids and parents for prom night pictures. But, they slowly left and we basically had the place to ourselves after awhile. What a gorgeous location and bride! This first shot is my favorite...what joy of anticipating the wedding day and being married to the man of your dreams! I will have their wedding day to share with you all very soon!

The below is the shot that Angela decided to have enlarged for her reception.

Britt and Baby The Third

2010-03-26T15:45:00.011-05:00

One of my best friends in the world came to spend a couple of days with us over spring break! What a joyful time we had catching up. My second born boldly approached her with "So, you have a bun in the oven, huh?" (insert motherly humiliation and snorting laughter) I promise, I have no idea where he has heard that before.

Britt and her husband always wait to find out the gender...love that!

Let Britt know which one is your favorite and tell me if you prefer the first or second shot (same pic, just processed differently.) Love to you all!

"R" Family!

2010-03-20T15:23:00.008-05:00

The "T" Fellas!

2010-03-19T19:40:00.012-05:00

I loved this session! These boys are as happy and can be and the light was so yummy! This first one just tickles me to death...love the way it captures their personalities.

2010-03-19T19:16:00.011-05:00

"A New Song" Session Giveaway

2010-03-05T18:13:00.003-06:00

"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD." Psalm 40:3

What a gorgeous day! I had the windows open and was serenaded by some birds that had a song to sing for their Creator. As I listened to the melodic notes, I wondered how many people need to have cause to have a new song to sing. Through hardship, it is easy for chords of joy to be erased. Sometimes, we just need some hope to get us through until God decides to write a new song on the pages of our hearts.

Hence, this giveaway! Do you know a family that is going through an especially hard time? Despite hardship, life keeps on moving. Children keep on growing and people keep on loving. We should capture these moments before they slip away.

If you know a family in need of a new song, then please email me their story. Please send me any pertinent information that would help me make the decision, along with your contact information and the nominee's contact information. (Information will be used for the sole purpose of contacting the recipient.)

Details:
1. Session must take place in central AR
2. Entry deadline is Friday, March 12th at 5pm
3. Giveaway includes session, CD with images, and print package
4. If the family you nominate wins, you will receive 50% off a spring session
5. Email entry to ebstuart@conwaycorp.net and leave "new song" in the title

Spring is Coming!

Baby Isaiah 8 days

2010-02-02T13:26:00.010-06:00

Introducing Isaiah! He is joining a Godly family complete with three big sisters. I love this first image...you can make out a snowman in the backyard. Goodness, there is nothing more precious than a baby freshly created by God Almighty.

LuLu's 2009 Pics!

2009-12-01T19:58:00.019-06:00

You get to VOTE for the 2009 winner! You only get one vote, and if you can't get the vote to work under "comments" then shoot me an email at ebstuart@conwaycorp.net and I will be sure to add your vote! Now, here is where it gets awesome!

So, help them out and choose your favorite!
When leaving a comment, you can choose by number or title, whatever is easiest! Voting will end on December 9th at 9 pm.

Introducing the finalists!!! (They are in no particular order.)

1. "The Bond" I chose this picture because of the love and security between a father and a son. Nothing feels safer to a little boy than his Daddy's arms.

2. "The Unit" I think of family when I see this shot, and how it is possible to raise content children in a world with a lot of background distractions.
3. "Innocence" Just look at those eyes, perfect profile and precious lips. This picture portrays the tenderness and innocence of a little girl's soul.
4. "Mystery" Ah, the wedding day! Full of joy, anticipation, and mystery. Having the rest of your lives together to unleash that mystery is such a joy.
5. "Laughter" Fun and hope for a new day. Representing sisterhood, this one definitely pulls at my soul.
6. "Security" What is it about a baby in a basket? Precious! My heart says "safe and sound" when I see this photo.
7. "Discovery" Brothers discovering the world together as their hearts are knit tighter and tighter together.

8. "Wonder" The art of grandparenting: throw in a little wonder, a pinch of training, and a heap of unconditional love.
9. "Precious" This photo makes me think of what God thinks of us...precious and costly.
10. "Happiness" The combination of bright yellow flowers, a silver tub, and a girl with the biggest blue eyes ever just makes me happy! It reminds me of sunshine and days of summer joy.
11. "The Kiss" When siblings aren't too old to kiss each other with every ounce of love they can muster, well, my heart just stops.
12. "The Eyes" If the eyes are the window to the soul, then this sweet thing has the most happy, gorgeous, and secure soul ever.
go vote!

Look, she has Daddy wrapped around her little finger already!

The Eyes Have It!

2009-07-05T14:57:00.007-05:00

These are the sweetest girls! They were so compliant. The shoot went super fast...they were so willing to pose and smile for me. Check out their amazing eyes!

Bart and Lana

2009-07-01T13:27:00.009-05:00

What a fun treat this has been! This experience has taught me so much. I want to thank Calvin Hill of Reflections by the Hill Photography for allowing me to borrow one of his lenses. I also want to thank Todd Owens of Todd Owens Photography for lending me his speedlight and for teaching me some more about editing. The first 8 images are Todd's edited work. And now that my Academy Award speech is concluded, here are the photos!

Isn't she stunning?

I just had to put this one up...just to give you a taste of Lana's personality. Love her!

I love this shot! This is Lana's son...well, his boots. He couldn't wait to get more comfortable. And what can I say, I am a sucker for boots.

Happy ever after!

The "O" Brothers
