Senior Year -- Erika

2012-09-04T15:10:00.001-07:00

It's always such an amazing time of the year! August begins with school starting, first & last days of school, fall so close you can smell it! The thought of Holidays is just almost here! It's my favorite time of the year! One of the best parts about being a photographer is having the chance to document the amazing journey one has endured to receive their diploma! I'm so proud & honored to have taken Miss. Erika's Senior Portraits! She is an absolute BEAUTIFUL woman who is the best model! ;))

I don't think she has seen any of these! I'm working really hard on editing but I just couldn't wait any longer! Here is 2 of my favorites so far! Trust me tomorrow you will see so many more!!!

Also for all those who will be excited to know we will be featured on living social next week September 11-13 for a special deal on a 1 hour session! Make sure to get yours! Remember you can book online now too!!!

It's time to PARTY! Ryan's a year old!

2012-09-03T18:24:00.000-07:00

What a miraculous year this past one has been for this sweet preemie baby! Ryan Stapleton is a miracle baby to the sweetest couple & family I know! I had the pleasure of photographing his party & it was so much fun! There is SO much love with that family! It does help that I have known them for so long! Ryan turned 1 on August 24 & we celebrated on August 25. Here are few photos that just showed how precious that baby is!! WAIT! He's not a baby anymore! :))

A Few More Maternity…..

2012-08-23T23:40:00.001-07:00

So Last Week was BEACH TIME in Florida! While vacation was so relaxing, I didn't have a chance to finish posting Karis' Maternity Shoot! We really had such a great shoot! I loved their connection! You could really tell how much they both care for each other so much! Kenadee is one LUCKY girl to have these two parents! Make sure to click HERE to see all the photos!

Back to Reality :((

2012-08-23T10:05:00.004-07:00

Well vacation time is OVER! It never seems long enough. Plus once you get home its nothing but laundry, work, hanging clothes, dishes & now ready for FALL weather! It never ceases to amaze me that as soon as i got on vacation at the end of summer once I'm back, i'm ready for Arkansas to just switch over to FALL. Plus all the cute new fall/winter clothes. Needless to say I'm ready. This got me thinking about how wonderful Fall is going to be for photo sessions! There are a lot of BIG things coming for Megan Thompson Photography, as we develop & add new things to our business…. I can't wait to spread the word & really capture the moments.

* Karis Kesterson Maternity Session *

2012-08-14T22:32:00.000-07:00

Congratulations! Karis & Shad Kesterson! They are going to welcome a beautiful baby girl named Kenadee soon! I had the absolute pleasure of shooting her maternity shots! Karis & Shad are so incredibly cute together! Some of the shots were just these two being silly! He was such a gentleman during the whole shoot & both should be models for perfect pregnancy! I can't wait for that beautiful baby girl to come into this world to capture those moments as well! Congrats on making a family of 2 to 3!

* Kristina's Bridal Session *

2012-08-14T22:19:00.000-07:00

Little Girls grow up the fastest! They always play dress up & one day those photos are displayed at their wedding! This session was so much fun! Playing dress up in mom's wedding gown is a dream! Let me introduce my favorite little model & lil cousin Kristina! Now I'm not her mom but she wanted to play dress up in my wedding dress because it looked like a princess gown! She right by the way! Here are a few of my favorites! She blows me away with how beautiful she is!

* Alesha Rundel & Pets *

2012-08-14T22:03:00.001-07:00

This was one of the hardest shoots I have done! Dogs are the best friend to man but not to a photographer! These two children are young & rambunctious, plus didn't want to listen! However after quite a few snaps we got some great shots!! They really relaxed once the camera was off! Not the best time…. but this momma had to have her family photos.

* Ryan Stapleton Sneak Peak *

2012-08-14T21:45:00.000-07:00

Ryan is an amazing micro preemie who is turning 1 year old! He is a true miracle baby & I couldn't of been more proud to be included in his Birthday Baseball Session! While the day started out rough for lil Ryan! He finally came around for us & I know everyone will love these!!!

* The Sitzberger Sneak Peak *

2012-08-14T21:25:00.000-07:00

The Sitzberger Family was an absolute joy to work with! Kenzie has grown up so fast! I have known Corey & Ashley for a little over 4 years & they are just an absolute joy to work with! Hope to do many more sessions together!

A Nice Welcome to a Big Business! :))

2012-08-14T21:01:00.000-07:00

Big Business is not even the best description for photographers! It's a whole new industry, dealing with making smiles transpose onto a photograph that is timeless! Children grow up, couples grow old, families get bigger & daughters get married. Its a never ending cycle that never seems to end. So it came as no surprise to me that photography is a growing business both in the world of services & to the public! Each new photographer brings a new light & new perspective to what you & your family show off to the world! My hope is to express my magical eye to new families & offer a different type of service!! I'm here to shoot you with ALL your ideas! Or give me free range!!
