He is the Giver of Life

Each time I pick up my camera, and every time I get a phone call to schedule an appointment, I fall more and more in love with my job.  Life is beautiful, and I am happy to serve the Creator of life by capturing moments in time.  I strive to know all I can know about the art of photography so that the images that I create properly reflect His grace, His love, and His mercy. 
 Meet Blake.  He is a precious boy put on this Earth for what I am sure is a great purpose!  He is beautiful, and I enjoyed getting to hold this precious baby while trying to create the images that his parents would treasure for a life time.  Of course, newborns are rarely easy.  A proper newborn shoot takes time, patience, understanding, and honestly,  a lot of prayer.  Each time I settle down with a newborn God reveals another fruit of the spirit that He is creating within me.  Children have a way of bringing out the best in us because through them, we are CHALLENGED and AMAZED.



 I am thankful for the time that I got to spend with Blake and his mother and father.  This little boy is so beautiful and so special.  Today, celebrate the beauty of life.

Mark and Kate Wedding: The Details

 Every time I take a step into the photography field, I learn so much about the importance of well... pictures.  Think about a house fire, or maybe you have had one so you know first hand.  We cry over the loss of material possessions, but they can be replaced.  It is the family pictures from long ago or even recently that we dread losing.  Pictures help us to remember the details, the faces, the emotions, and the times in our lives that seem to run by so quickly.  I remember bits and pieces of my wedding day, but it is when I get to look back at the details that brings me to tears of joy.   Sorry for the sappy moment, but people would not be willing to have professional photographers if pictures were not important.





 Recently, I had the chance to second shoot a couple of weddings with my dear friend Katie from KatieO photography.  You should check out her page www.facebook.com/katieOphotography
During the shoot, my dear friend Katie was giving me major pointers on capturing the details of a wedding.  (This is why have a second photographer is also good).  When the day is done it is nice to look back and see exactly what did the table arrangements look like, or what did my Dad's face look like when he first saw me in my dress?  Details are important.  You have spent so much money and time making every little detail stand out and look like your personality. It is important to remember those and have them available to share with friends. 




Have a wedding coming up?  Congratulations!  Call Paula Bean at 501-652-6295 to schedule a consulatation.  Or email psmbean@gmail.com
