Meet Mia:

2009-10-20T22:13:00.000-05:00

UPDATE: MIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! YEAH!!!!

This is Mia. Short for"Mama Mia" She's a redbone coonhound with a heart of gold. She's friendly, playful and sooooo affectionate. She's up for adoption through Out of The Woods. I got to spend some time with Mia during a doggie lifestyle session so we could get some shots of her showing off her wonderful personality. Boy did she show off! She was so excited to show me everything she can do and all of her favorite toys that she wore herself out. By the end of our shoot she was putting her head in my lap looking for lovin! Dogs like Mia make it hard to walk away without having to explain to our two dogs that they have a new member of the family. I'm working with Out of the Woods each month photographing their pet of the month with hopes of helping these great fuzzy friends find some loving homes. It's going to be hard to not end up with 12 new friends of my own at the end of the year!

Here's some information from Mia's adoption page:

"Mia was found in the woods with 9 puppies that were only a day old Memorial Day weekend. She was covered in mange and was malnourished. She was very protective but eventually allowed her rescuers to take her and her pups. She was taken in and was a wonderful mother to her pups. Her puppies have all been adopted and now Mia deserves a new home to be loved and spoiled. Mia is not more than 1 ½ years old most likely since she has grown a bit since being rescued. She looks like a redbone hound with a beautiful shiny silky coat and weighs about 48 lbs. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to play with them. She is housetrained and is very calm and well mannered and learns quickly. She would make a great companion pet for anyone old or young."

Out of the Woods

2009-07-15T09:15:00.000-05:00

I'm happy to be working with the wonderful organization Out of the Woods . I'll be photographing some of the precious critters they're trying to find homes for. I got the chance to meet four of them the other day. I even got to name this little guy. Please say hello to Benjamin or "Benny" for short.

~From their website

Out Of The Woods was established in early 2007 by experienced rescuer Kathy Woods along with Shawn Schouweiler and fellow friends in rescue who wanted to fill a need for a different kind of rescue; a need in where they believe that all domesticated animals regardless of their size, breed, color or situation deserve to have a loving home.

We rescue our pets primarily from the rural areas of Arkansas, some are abandoned and/or abused. We rescue from animal "hoarders" or collectors who take in more than they can possibly care for, sometimes in the hundreds.

We promote efforts to spay and neuter all pets; one of the ways we do this is by assisting in finding low cost sterilization to families in rural areas with limited incomes. We must stop the needless breeding that occurs when families cannot afford to properly care for their pets.

We also focus on helping independent rescuers who take in and then care for "stray" pets until an adoptive home is found.

OOTW is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c) (3) organization.

One of my secret weapons:

2009-07-06T08:42:00.000-05:00

I am always asked "What have you seen?" , "How would you do this?" or if I have any recomendations from many brides. After I first and foremost recommend they hire a planner, I usually can provide some pretty good insight to the day.

And now..... from my top secret, under lock and key, if i tell you I might need to kill you bookmarks comes my number one secret weapon.

It's no secret StyleMePretty.com hands down, take the cake for the most informative and inspiring wedding site I have ever read. If you are planning a wedding, love weddings, work with wedding, would like to have a wedding someday or used the word wedding five times in once sentence like I did, head over there stat!

Happy July Fourth!

Tony & Laine : Best Time Ever!

2009-04-14T15:33:00.011-05:00

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

~Jim Valvano

3 is a magical number. So magical in fact it's Tony and Laine's lucky number. The amount of times three comes into the lives of these two is unbelievable. In fact take a look at their wedding date.

03.21.09

Yup, 03, 2+1=3 and 3 goes into 9 3 times. The wedding weekend lasted 3 days, the cake had 3 layers, three was individually their lucky numbers before they got together, their first date was on Laine's 33 birthday, Tony proposed on their 3rd anniversary and on and on and on. Perhaps Tony and Laine will talk about it more in the comments. Care to share guys?

Tony and Laine were married by the Mayor of Little Rock in the living room of her father's house in LIttle Rock, AR. The ceremony could not have been more personally intimate. It's hard to shoot when your fighting back tears. Darn you two! After they were made Mr & Mrs Poe we headed down town for some photo play time. I love Tony and Laine. I have never spent time with them that wasn't involved in laughter, their wedding day was no different. Sorry guys I laughed way more then 3 times. Maybe something like 3 times every 30 seconds?

A mega party/reception like only Tony and Laine can do was held at Historic Union Station in Little Rock. Next Level Events did a fabulous job. Tony and Laine shared a first dance to a rockin' rendition of "Three is a magical number." (as in Schoolhouse Rock, how perfect is that?)by their reception band The Libra's.

We danced, we sang, we ate, we drank, we were merry, we took pictures in the photo both and man did we laugh.

Thanks so much for allowing me the pleasure of photographing your most special of days. You seriously rock.

Laura & Tom are married!

2009-01-02T11:23:00.001-06:00

Laura and Tom were married at the beautiful Balitmore Basilica. We enjoyed some photo time before the ceremony at the Tremont Grand Historic where they were having their reception later in the day. I could have spent the entire day shooting at either one of these locations so to have had the opportunity at both in one day was amazing. I wish I could have been there for the reception but I'm thankful for the time I had regardless. Laura and Tom were great sports and down for whatever ideas I could come up with. Laura, Tom and I didn't have the opportunity to meet or even talk on the phone before the wedding, (Tom booked me via email, future husbands take note, I'll ask Tom if he'll be holding a pointers seminar) nonetheless, we hit it off perfectly once we met. Laura and Tom, you two were great. I had a great time getting to know you as well as your friends and family during your wonderful wedding. I wish you a lifetime of love, health and happiness. It was a pleasure meeting you both.
