Wednesday Nights

brooke — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:04:32 +0000

Most every wednesday night at my house during the school year, my husband has his ‘cell group‘ boys over. 20+ boys from springdale come to our house for 2-3 hours and Guyland ensues. During the warmer months they head out to the front field and play a variety of games: ultimate frisbee, soccer, and whiffleball, etc. After that they bombard our kitchen looking for anything and everything to devour. The amount of food that is consumed is incalculable. They conclude each cell group with a bible study.

Tonight, after playing frisbee in the rain for almost and hour (in order to prepare for their Fall Retreat this weekend), I made them stop outside so I could take their picture. Tough guy faces and all, here they are!!!

Diving Extravaganza

a couple of days before school started our cousins the Rodda’s came over for Kym‘s birthday. we went to a friends pool for relaxing afternoon with our family. what started out as a funny face or two, quickly turned into a hilarity competition and bragging rights for the funniest picture captured while leaping from the diving board. everyone got in on the action. finley, brooke, ben, kym, elle, stella, silas, savannah, and even maye.

these will probably go down in our family history album as some of our favorites ever. i love the expressions that everyone had! here are a few to get to warmed up and then enjoy the slideshow! ** make sure you watch the whole thing…my favorites are at the very end. we got a little wild!

We appreciated it so much and you exceeded our expectations and desires. You were such a joy to work with and I thank you for that.

Jessica & Sam | Fayetteville, AR Engagement

brooke — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:00:57 +0000

Jessica and Sam came to me for their engagment session a few weeks ago. Even though it was our first meeting, we quickly discovered that we had a good friend in common from our days at Kanakuk. That is why I love engagement sessions. They always allow me to get to know and learn about each couples personality, story, and unique flavor.

Given the summer heat, we waited until the late evening to get started and enjoyed some great moments as the sun started to set.

I have the privilege of photographing Sam and Jessica’s wedding in January 2011, and shortly thereafter, they will be moving to Sam’s family farm in north-central Arkansas. Thanks guys for being so incredibly sweet and for being so adorable around each other!

Natalie & Jeff Larson | Rogers, AR Wedding

did you see that?

brooke — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:50:31 +0000

so…from time to time i find myself up late at night editing away and i come across some hilarious moments from a wedding. when i look around and have no one to share the picture with, i’m left with nothing but staring the images until i get a chance to show my husband then get them ready for the blog.

this first picture was taken by my sister kym which helps explain why the second image is so crazy. i had the wedding party line up and walk towards me and as Jeff and Natalie got closer, Jeff leaned way in and got super close to my camera…

and this is what i got! too funny! i had my nikon 12-24mm lens on and it has a bit of distortion on it, especially when the subject is so close to me. Jeff, you are killing me!

another great Jeff moment here. we went outside the reception at the Springdale Country Club and took a golf cart for a spin. i told them to kiss as they drove away (which Natalie obviously was passionate about). Jeff decided to add a little extra spice to the moment…nice squeeze.

this one may be one of the finer, more spontaneous moments i’ve ever come across. as Jeff and Natalie were exiting, one of the groomsmen decided that he wanted get back to the middle of the action. check out the man to the right of Jeff, shoving the sparkler in his face. i love it!
