from the kids' perspective...

I thought this video on Time Video was super cute!! I love what the kids say about love and valentines day ... so innocent and quite entertaining. :) Hope it brings a smile to your face, too!

Mara's Peppermint Bark!

Not sure what to do with those old candy canes from Christmas? I always feel like I get stuck with too many, use a few in hot chocolate and then throw the rest away when they start getting weird and sticky. ;) Sooo...we made Peppermint Bark on new years with our old canes and I must say it was quite yummy! We found a basic recipe online and then modified it to add the extract and layered chocolate-vanilla which was great. You could also melt some chocolate chips at the end and drizzle them on top for more goodness ;) Feel free to print this recipe and use it - we'd love to know how yours turns out! Happy New Year!!

 
 
 
 

09 highlights + faves! | Aus10 Photoartists

YAY!! First post of the new year ;) Super excited to share this with you, too. These are just some of the highlights from an amazing 2009. I also threw in a few of our favorite photos from the past year...there were way more but due to limited space we couldn't fit em all. ;) We traveled a lot, photographed a lot and got to meet a lot of truly amazing people. We can't wait to see what 2010 has in store!
 
 

looking ahead to 2010 ... | Aus10 Photoartists

2009 was definitely an amazing year ... we were able to provide beautiful and artistic images to many sweet couples in love, wonderful families and kids and super fun seniors. ;) One of my favorite parts of the whole experience is when our clients see the photo slideshow for the first time on our projection screen. Watching dad hold back the tears, hearing a bride squeal with excitement and seeing a proud mom look lovingly at the photos of her newborn son just make my heart flutter and remind me how important it is to have those images to hold dear forever. It also reminds me that we need some new family photos ourselves ... haha. ;) 

Anyway, all that to say, we are truly looking forward to 2010. We have a few new products and promos up our sleeves that I think will really blow you away, and we're in the final planning stages of an AWESOME senior models program, but what we really can't wait for is meeting the new families that walk through our door, hanging out with the seniors who are ready to take on the world, and seeing old clients who come back for this year's round of portraits. This year will also bring more partnerships with charities like the Titus Task, Humane Society and more!

Like many of you, we have also made a few New Years Resolutions which you'll see popping up on the blog in the next couple of days. Our first resolution is BLOGGING EVERY DAY. We've even raised the stakes a little, because if we fail to post by midnight then we're giving away FREE MINI SESSIONS to those who email within 24 hours. This one scares me, because we're so busy, but I am excited to stay connected with everyone. ;) Hopefully one of YOUR resolutions is to post some encouraging comments on our blog, we definitely appreciate the love hehe!

Well, here's to another fabulous year with Aus10 Photoartists!

Baby Time! | Northwest Arkansas Children's Photography

One of the most interesting effects of the ice storm last January has been the baby boom this fall! I didn't really think about it until talking with a friend, and we realized that there have been a lot of recent births! I even found this article on 40/29 online that talks about the ice storm baby boom. So, while you're thinking of who you know with a new baby (maybe it's even YOU) check out some of our favorite newborn photos AND a great giftcard special we're running until Christmas. If you purchase a giftcard with $150 or more on it you'll receive a free portrait session. Visit our online giftcard store for more info and to purchase the best Christmas gift you can give!




     

a little wednesday inspiration

I think that Wednesday needs a little inspiration - something fun to look at to get us through the rest of the week! I recently found this British website - Cox&Cox - that has super cute home, outdoors, party, wedding and craft products! I pulled a few of my favorite unique and pretty things!

What are your favorite DIY or unique ideas? Leave a comment and let me know! ;)

These are lanterns that you light and then release and they float up into the air! What a cute idea for a wedding ;) 

 

The perfect match! So cute especially as a wedding favour paired with a homemade candle!

 

Sweet place card holders!

 

and a super fun cookie cutter so you can make your own 3-D christmas tree cookie!!

Happy Fall!

We were fortunate enough to spend some time with Matt's family this past weekend - they were in from Kansas City and Oregon! The weather was gorgeous as we finally had a break from the rain, and we went over to the Buffalo River area for the day. The hike out to Whitaker point was wonderful, and Mara had a lot of fun with her cousin Ruby ... a little King Charles mix who isn't the most outdoorsy dog but eventually figured out that creeks can be fun!! Enjoy a few iPhone photos from the trip ... ;) 

Now is the best time to get your fall family photos, especially with our Christmas in October special, and our availability is filling up fast so call today!!
