Maddie | Rogers AR Children’s Photographer
2010
Even though she is so very tiny & petite, little Miss Maddie has grown SO much since I saw her last… I couldn’t get over how long her hair was, and how tall she’s gotten since her one year session. Here’s just a peek of some of the amazing images she gave us today!

Kids Are Funny v1.0 | NWA Photography Contest
2010
UPDATE – keep the votes coming, everyone! I’m amazed at how many fans these amazing kids have! For my own counting sanity, please only one vote per person. 
It’s been, as my niece would say, so “really really very very” long since I held a contest… (she likes adverbs, it’s her thing).
As promised, the photo contest is ON. Here’s how it works:
- Pick your favorite silly kid below.
- Leave a comment (here, on the blog) with the number of the photo you’re voting for (see comments for example).
- Wait a week & see who wins! Voting ends at midnight on Friday, September 24th.
The winner will receive FOUR mini-sessions in the year 2011 – that’s right, mini-sessions for every season. Gosh, that’s fabulous.
And the contestants? Drumroll, please…
#1 – Landon
Landon’s mommy says – “Landon needed to poop but didn’t want to miss his show… So, as any resourceful boy would do, he carried his potty to the living room to do his business!”
#2 – Marlow
Marlow’s mommy says – “Marlow almost forgot to blow dry her hair before she headed out.”
#3 – Brooklynn
Brooklynn’s mommy says – “Brooklynn was playing and refused to take a nap so I let her stay up and the next time I turned around she had crashed sitting up.”
#4 – Parker
Parker’s mommy says – “No joke he came into the bathroom while I was getting ready one day and said “mom I ready to go”. He had no pants on, shoes on the wrong feet, an Iron mask on and an toy gun in his hand. He was so serious!”
#5 – Alis
Alis’ sister Sindy sent in several funny photos – I chose this one because it was the one that made me laugh the hardest.
#6 – Ben
Ben’s mommy didn’t include a quote about the photo… but it looks to me like he had a good time playing with his big sister’s things.
#7 – Kylee
Oh, Kylee. You slay me.
#8 – Quinn
Quinn’s mommy says – “Nothing like listening to a few tunes while on the toilet….”
#9 – Lorelei
When Lorelei’s mommy sent this to me last night, I quite literally laughed out loud. And when I re-opened it this morning to put it in the blog post, I laughed out loud again. This image makes me maniacal.
#10 – Ashlyn & Lauryn
Ashlyn & Lauryn’s mommy says – “Since I have twins, they now fight over toys. This is Ashyln guarding the toys from her sister Lauryn as she plays with what she can pull out from under her butt.”
#11 – Owen
This is a move from Owen that I’m pretty familiar with…
*******
Let the voting begin!
An important note – if you’ve never commented before on this here ol’ blog, don’t be alarmed if your comment doesn’t show up right away. Pesky spam guard wants me to “approve” things… no worries, I’ll be ready & waiting to approve each one that comes through!

Game On | NWA Children’s Photography Contest
2010
A few weeks ago, I posted on Facebook for some contest ideas. There were several good ones, but my favorite one (worst school photos, LOVE this idea) would require me using another photographer’s images. That’s no bueno.
Then, a baby boom happened, and I *almost* forgot about the contest. Until today, when I miraculously remembered it. Yay, me!
So, who wants to win a YEAR’S worth of mini-sessions for their kid? That’s right. I said it, a year’s worth.
Here’s how to play…
Dig through your snapshots and send me the funniest photo of your kid doing whatever it is your kid does that’s funny. Little Jimmy likes to play in the sandbox in his diaper while wearing a paper crown and fake mustache? Awesome. Send it in. Suzy thinks it’s funny to put on all your makeup while you’re in the shower? Superb.
Here’s an example:
This is her idea of “hiding” from me during a game of hide-n-seek. I did NOT teach her how to play this game, I would just like to note that.
I’ll be accepting entries until midnight on Friday, September 17th, with a week-long voting contest (here, on the blog) to follow. Entries MUST be photos taken as a snapshot (i.e., no professional images from other photographers) and must be emailed to melissa@preservedphoto.com.
The winner will receive 4 complementary studio mini-sessions for the year of 2011.
How ’bout that for a contest? Hmm? Game on, my people.
*note* – Studio Mini-Sessions are booked per child and each mini-session includes 2 fully-edited digital files on disk. Additional prints/products purchased separately.

That there are very few things in this world more adorable than watching an 18 month-old little nugget try (very hard, mind you) to button his own pants.

Words? Really pretty much unnecessary since there is no way they’d ever do this little man justice. What a rockstar.
More to come on this very blog, Mom & Dad.
Paisley | NWA Newborn Photography
2010
Look who came to see me today…
And she brought her big brother with her, aren’t they the sweetest?
I can’t even tell you how much I love that last image of Miss Paisley. Her expression is so cute to me – and that hair flower? To DIE for. Her mommy made it… she’s crafty, like me, so you KNOW I was excited.
Paisley’s mom (and her friend, who I don’t know but I’m certain is equally fabulous) also runs this amazing business, 2katie designs! You can find them by clicking here… something I’ve always wanted to learn to do (correctly), but have always felt I’m not good at… Scrapbooking! If you’re in NWA, go check them out (and tell Paisley’s mama congratulations on her beautiful baby girl!)
Olivia | Northwest Arkansas Children’s Photographer
2010
A year ago, this little lady and I got to spend some QT doing her newborn photos. She was such a a beautiful baby, and I can’t even believe she’s already a year old… and still just as gorgeous (it runs in her family, trust me).
Quick peek for mom (and big sis’ – Hi, Tates!!)… who spent the morning sweating it out with me to snap some pics to celebrate Miss Olivia’s first birthday. Hope you love these, Aimee. More to come soon!
Rymer | NWA Children’s Photographer
2010
This little guy has got to be THE sweetest 4 year old boy on the planet. Every time I have ever seen him, his demeanor is so insanely calm (which, you know, is pretty unique for little boys). I’m told he isn’t *always* so calm, but I find it hard to believe. No matter what, I bet he’s always sweet.
