Casen came to see me yesterday, and OHHH what a strong little man! He could raise his head and let me know exactly what he thought about lying on his belly. His older sister, Kenley, was proud to show him off.

I was so excited to see Kash this weekend. After taking some of my favorite newborn shots of him six months ago, I was anxious to get his little guy in front of my camera again. Thanks Moore family for a fun afternoon!

Brooklyn 9 days young | Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer

Have you ever seen a sweeter face? Brooklyn is 9 days young today. Newborn photography is one of my favorite things to do. You get the baby to sleep and then shoot away.

Zach & Kaitlyn are MARRIED! | Harrison, Arkansas Wedding Photographer

Michele Graves — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 02:10:37 +0000

Kaitlyn and Zach met in Branson at The Track where they both worked. Kaitlyn, a recent graduate of College of the Ozarks, was a stunning bride; Zach made for a very handsome groom. I guess you could say I am a bit partial to this couple – no, this family. I taught both Zach and his brother, David, took their senior pictures, Zach and Kaitlyn’s engagement pictures, and then I had the honor and privileged to be their wedding photographer at the First Christian Church in Harrison, Arkansas. Mendy, I know it was a bitter-sweet day, but it was a beautiful wedding, and I’m pretty sure you have a magnificent new daughter-in-law.

Megan, Berryville High School Senior 2012 | Northwest Arkansas Senior Portrait Photographer

Michele Graves — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 01:07:15 +0000

Most girls show up to the studio excited about their senior pictures. They have spent hours primping, choosing outfits, picking out shoes, blog stalking photographers, creeping facebook pages, etc. Not Megan. She was there because she needed her pictures turned in for the yearbook deadline. I think she was pleasantly surprised that having her pictures taken was actually FUN! We had a blast and she was a natural. I only had to tell her a couple of times how to pose and suddenly, she wasn’t shy and out came this MODEL. She was so much fun to photograph. I’d like to do it all over again. Thanks for a great morning, Megan.

Drew Senior 2012 Berryville, Arkansas | Northwest Arkansas Senior Portrait Photographer

Michele Graves — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:46:09 +0000

This is one of those young men I will someday say about, “I knew him when. . .” Drew is one of the most stoic, driven individuals I have ever met, and I’ve met a lot of people. I was impressed by his family farm and enjoyed trekking through the property to take Drew’s senior pictures in Northwest Arkansas. Thank you Fry Family for a great morning. And Drew, I’m glad it was as painful as you expected. ~M.G.

Dilan, Berryville Senior 2012 | Arkansas Senior Portrait Photographer

Michele Graves — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 03:32:15 +0000

Dilan is one of those kids you just can’t help but like. It’s not too often I see him without a smile on his face. He’s a little on the ornery side, but that’s a good thing – most of the time. It was a great day in the Ozarks for some senior pictures. I had a few ideas in mind when it came to Dilan’s session, and I think they all came out “right on target.”
