PhotoSafari » Distinctive wedding and portrait photography in Northeast Arkansas

Welcome to my blog

Specializing in on-the-go photography, I can set up and shoot studio quality photos in almost any location with beautiful light. This includes senior and general portrait sessions, commercial photography, weddings, glamour photos and model portfolios as well as actors composites… all with my own unique style.
If you are tired of the “cookie cutter” photos that look like what everyone else has and you have been searching for photos that look different, then I’m the photographer you want.

Please feel free to contact me through the contract page or call me at the number in the title bar of the page with any questions.

Shalyn’s senior session

Thursday, January 12, 2012 Posted in Creative Photography, Fashion, Portrait Sessions, Senior Portrait Sessions

In one of those odd twists of life, I got a message from Shalyn’s mom Linda one day asking if I remembered her. We hadn’t seen each other since we were kids but I remembered her well…. she shot me in the forehead once with a BB gun. But in all fairness, I shot her in the butt first.

After some reminiscing, she told me that her daughter wanted me to do her senior photos. After some discussion about what they wanted the photos to look like we got down to business.

It was very nice getting reacquainted with Linda and meeting her husband and Shalyn. One of my favorite things about photography is that I get to meet a lot of people.

Something a little more businesslike with Laura

Sunday, January 8, 2012 Posted in Commercial Photography, Creative Photography, Fashion, Portrait Sessions

Laura and I collaborated to put a portfolio together a little while ago. I wanted to do photos with a business feel to them and Laura was happy to help me out.

Laura was wonderful to work with and I enjoyed spending time talking with her between the sets as well.

Little Kynslee

Thursday, January 5, 2012 Posted in Baby Portraits, Portrait Sessions

Kynslee’s parents brought her by for some baby portraits when she was a month or so old. Babies this small are always kind of unpredictable. You are lucky if they go to sleep and let you make your photos instead of crying or pooping all over the place when you do the naked baby on the fur rug photo.

Well I was lucky, minimal crying and no pooping. That’s a damn near perfect combination for baby photos.

Kortney and Stefie’s weddin’

Thursday, January 5, 2012 Posted in The Day, Weddings

My friends Kortney and Stefie exchanged vows of love and commitment a little while ago and they asked me to come as a guest. It’s hard for me to tell you how much that meant to me. Most people want me there making their wedding photos not as a guest. I still took a camera with me though.

It was the kind of wedding that you always wish you would get as a photographer. Great light, great people and awesome colors, everything you need to make amazing photos.

Katie, Katie, Katie… old school!

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Posted in Beauty, Creative Photography, Fashion, Glamour

Katie is a wonderful young woman who I met through another friend and when I met her, I pretty much decided I wanted to do some photos of her. I knew she would look wonderful in some old school Hollywood type glamour photos. And she loved the idea as well…. Perfect!

So that’s what we did. And she rocked it.

I just love making new friends.

My friend Jessica needed new photos for her portfolio with her agency and Stephanie needed photos to submit to the agency. So why not kill two birds with one stone.
