Laura | Farmington HS Senior 2011

The light was perfect for Laura's senior session a couple of weeks ago - we are seriously in love with this one! She was a blast to take photos of, too, which definitely helped ;) Enjoy!

 

Merry Christmas in October!

Plus, if you'll refer your friends to the Christmas in October Special you'll get an additional 5 cards! ;)

Back to School! | Olivia

In celebration (or is it mourning?!) of the first semi-week back to school for most of our seniors, we decided to ask a few of them some questions to get to know them better. ;) First up is Olivia, a senior from Har-Ber High School that we photographed back in June. We had a blast with her and her mom and sister who came along ... I don't know if there was any point during the session that we weren't laughing! 

 

Q // Where would you live if you could live anywhere you wanted?

A // I would live anywhere with mountains :)

Q // What do you want to do when you “grow up”?

A // well, I'm not sure but I think if would be cool to be a family lawyer or a judge, or a news anchor.

Q // Do you have any phobias?

A // I really hate spiders, and I'm very afraid of natural disasters, particularily fires, tornadoes, and storms while I am in an airplane.

Q // What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?

A // I don't really branch out enought to eat anything out of the ordinary...

Q // What are you most looking forward to during your senior year?

A // Going on a mission trip to Guatemala over spring break.

Q // What was the best part of getting your senior photos done?

A // I loved how much fun you guys were, and it was really cool to see how the pictures turned out. Thanks for awesome senior pictures!

Jordan | Springdale High School Senior 2010

LOVED our session with Jordan - we did a little exploring and came up with some new locations for her! Enjoy ;)

 
 

Aus10 is featured in Professional Photographer!!

 

We are truly honored to be included in the April issue of Professional Photographer magazine, which is one of the world's leading photo magazines!! I am not sure, but I think we are one of the only (if not the only) studios from Northwest Arkansas to have a Professional Photographer article written about us. 

Through their research, PPA has found that portrait and wedding studios based in the photographers' homes have very high success rates as compared to studios in retail spaces, especially in the past several years. This has a lot to do with the ability to keep overhead costs lower and minimize risk. Plus, homes are generally more comfortable and welcoming to customers. When the magazine decided to write an article that would highlight a few home studios around the country, they loved the photos we posted last fall on our studio tour and asked for more info. We were finally selected to be one of the four studios featured ... and we received the lead-in 2-page spread for the article! Up until today it hasn't seemed real, but we received a packet in the mail with a few copies and were ecstatic to finally see the article in print. 

We really couldn't have done it without our amazing clients, who have helped us grow our business from the start by supporting us, loving us and our photos and providing great feedback. The past four years have been an amazing ride, and we can't wait to see what's in store for the future! So check out the digital copy of the article, and of course we'll have the real thing at the studio so you can see it next time you come in!

smile for the camera...

We are so loving working with a local orthodontist! Here are some of our favorites from the past year ... we are working on putting together a "wall of smiles" for them to display at the office. Enjoy!!

 

HELPING HAITI

We have decided that ALL of the money from sessions will be donated directly to the orphanages in Haiti!! These kids need our help more than ever, between the rising number of new orphans and the likelihood that adoptions will be more difficult due to the destruction. Please please please help!! If you've been putting off your kids or family photos ... or if you've been waiting to do your senior photos NOW is the best time!!

 

HELPING HAITI

Tomorrow on the blog we will have more information on what organizations we'll be donating to!! We have already had a great response so be sure to schedule soon if you're planning on participating. Even if YOU don't need photos, please forward on this information to anyone who may be interested - and you could even gift a session to someone while helping Haiti. If you want to keep up with the progress of our good friends the Tugwells, join their facebook group. We are hoping and praying that Louis will be able to get to the US Embassy in Haiti tomorrow and get a flight HOME!!!
