I do not have a favorite color or food. I don't have many favorites, except for music! I love to pick up a camera and capture images and even if there is not a camera around, I will be photographing in my mind. My son cracks me up. My husband makes me smile. My growing womb makes me hopeful and giddy. I am a woman of many joys and interests. I could have the music going all day long and have wild dreams - realistically wild. I love to chew bubblegum and wished the flavor last a lot longer, I guess I am like Violet Beauregarde. I love to stay in shape, but love treats too. Married life is fun and I hope to laugh everyday together and with our children. I tend to stress about things up front and then begin to relax through the process. An underlying passion of mine is drawing, writing, and creating - though I don't ever do much of it. Smiling and laughter is a form of living for me and I hope that it never drifts out of my life... that would be a terribly sad day.

Shannon Wow! There are just too many good shots here to pick a favorite. I love the lighting, especially the one where it looks like a ball of light is growing out of her hands. And the capture of smoke, back-lit behind the subject = extraordinary. A very inspirational shoot, to be sure!May 13, 2011 – 10:26 am

Sandwich LOVE

I have become a little obsessed with homemade sandwiches and wraps. They are easy, fairly nutritious AND so delicious! I am pregnant, as most of you guys know, so food has become quite a staple for the recent days. Food is feeding my baby and cravings! I thought I would share some of this yumminess […]

Sarah Potter Now I am hungry for lunch and clearly the saltines I brought with me to eat at work do not sound as appealing as those sandwiches!!May 5, 2011 – 12:42 pm

Baby P

Fort Worth is really a small world. I had always heard about Lisa – she used to date one of the guys at our high school. This was back in the 90s – woah πŸ˜‰ Then in 2008 I was chatting with a close guy friend of mine and he tells me he is dating […]

Stephanie He could not be more precious. What fabulous photographs. I love newborn pictures!June 27, 2011 – 11:37 pm

Meg These are phenomenal shots. Just wondering if you use a flash when inside – I recently went to do a baby shoot and daddy wouldn’t let me use a flash – even when baby was sleeping… I couldnt find enough light to do a successful shoot, as there was very limited window light. If you dont use a flash, what lense do you use to let enough light in when inside?May 8, 2011 – 8:47 pm

Yvonne Oh my goodness…Gorgeous shots! Love them all! Such an adorable baby and family too!May 7, 2011 – 8:57 am

Melissa πŸ™‚ Just beautiful! πŸ™‚May 4, 2011 – 8:08 pm

Samantha Workman I remember seeing Lisa perform with Casa Kids. Their baby is adorable. I love the shot with the blue owl hat and his hands under his chin!!!! Just perfection! Great job Arden πŸ™‚May 4, 2011 – 2:36 pm

How to EDIT baby on hands

I had YET to ever capture the well known image of baby on hands. Well, luckily for me these parents were bound and determined along WITH ME to get their sweet boy doing the pose that we LOVE! It is NOT easy in the slightest and I only took TWO shots of little P in […]

Robin in Toronto Great post! Thanks for the tips. Do you use a tripod when you do these shots? They seem to be so perfectly aligned.May 17, 2011 – 3:15 pm

Meg I am wondering if you use a flash when inside? What if you go somewhere and they do not have enough natural light – I recently tried to do a shoot inside but there was not enough light and I went to use my external flash, however, daddy wouldnt let me, even when baby was asleep. Have you ever had this issue, what lense do you use in order to let in enough light??
Thanks, this is a great post!May 8, 2011 – 8:52 pm

Amy Great edit Arden! Thank you for creating that – I’m sure it was a lot of work! πŸ˜‰May 3, 2011 – 11:18 am
