Jena | Orry {Lee Mountian Bluff - Wagon Wheel Barn - Dover, AR}

Hey Everyone!

WHEW! What a busy busy week we have had! We've been fighting the rain, and it's been winning! However, despite the rain, we have a GORGEOUS wedding to brighten up this dreary day! There's a brand spankin' new wedding venue on Lee Mountian and we are one of the very first photographers to shoot a wedding there! We were super excited!

We have both known Jena and Orry for quiet some time, and they've always been the sweets couple! I (Lance) went to school with Jena since, I THINK, 5th grade and Orry moved to our school just a few years after and we have always been friends! Its such a cool thing when high school friends end up getting married! Weddings are like huge reunions!

Jena had a really cool vision for her vintage Jbarn wedding, to be married on the bluff, then party it up in the barn afterwards! Her mom, Shelia McCarty has a Vintage Rentals business and has GOBS of the most unique and cool pieces of furniture! Mrs. McCarty really made Jena's vision come to life with the hand painted antiques, vintage tableware, and collectables!

 *Vintage Rentals by Mrs. McCarty - 1(479)970-2965 - She literally has everything you can imagine, and it's super cute stuff!*

Jena and Orry had the most adorable first look and their bridal party, ALL NINETEEN OF THEM, were soooo much fun and willing to do anything! We drug them all over that bluff!

We were absolutely honored to be a part of Jena and Orry's wedding day, and it's one we will never forget! We wish the two of them a long lifetime of happiness and even more than that, may everyday that you spend together be a new surprise! God bless you two and your new marriage today and for the rest of your lives! We are so happy to be able to call you guys our friends!

Enjoy the pictures, y'all!

{Fall Mini-Sessions 2014}

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it's that time of year again! Summer is coming to a close *sob* and we are gearing up for a BUSY fall season! Each Fall we have countless emails pouring in from families wanting pictures for their Christmas cards, or for presents for loved ones for the holidays or just to update their wall picture collages. We feels so bad when we have to turn so many people down, but there are only so many hours in a day. To help with the holiday rush we have decided to try out something new this year!

In the past we have had mini-sessions on one day of the year and we usually only schedule about 6 sessions. This year we've decided to up the game and choose three of our most favorite locations and schedule 7 sessions for each date!

Check out the graphic below for dates and locations, and then keep reading for more info!

What is a Mini-Session you ask? Well, I'll tell you!
A mini-session is a miniature session of only 30 minutes (regular sessions are 45min-hour) at a discounted rate. Mini-sessions are like a 40% discount off of a regular family session, AND not only families can schedule a mini. These are a great option for high school seniors, expecting mommies and even for couples!

Okay, so let's talk about how to reserve a session!

Step 1: Email us at shingleur@gmail.com and let us know what date/location and what time slot you want.
Step 2: Be prepared to mail your total payment of 125.00 to us at 3005 W 2nd Dr Russellville, AR 72801 to reserve your spot. You can also request a PayPal invoice if you would rather pay online. We will hold your spot for 5 days after session request until we receive your payment. Payment is fully refundable up to one week before your session date. If cancellation occurs within one week (7 days) of the scheduled date half of your full payment will be refunded.

I know having to prepay for your mini-session isn't that much fun, but last year we had a lot of problem with people canceling at the last second and we were not able to fill in the spots. Mini-sessions are a lot of fun, but honestly we don't get much profit out of it. We do it just to help out our awesome customers in this busy-busy season!

Once you book you will receive an email one week out with information like directions, tips on what to wear and even more awesome stuff!

We can't wait!!!

Happy, Happy Tuesday and almost Fall Y'all!
