Arkansas Adventure
Rachel was the winner of my New Year Giveaway this year and I hit the gold with her & Noah. I messaged Rachel and asked her how far she was willing to travel & her response was "we are up for whatever ideas you have!". That is my favorite thing a client can tell me, it gives me freedom to create and I feel like the outcome is always way cooler than if I am working within strict guidelines. So, off to Ponca Arkansas we went. It is a super small down that has the Buffalo River running through it. Mostly occupied by floaters, hikers and straight up adventurers. I had a good laugh when I was pumping gas and noticed a sign for their population: 9. I found this gem when Adam, Mae & I were out exploring. We came out to the town a few times & hit some of the best sights. Rachel & Noah let me lead them on a day filled with adventure + love. It was so rewarding watching them admire the sights & see them explore together. They were laughing the entire time + I got some of the sweetest authentic images of them. This shoot is my favorite to the date & I am so eager to do another adventurous session in the future. It's actually inspired me to (in the future) come up with a package specifically designed for couples wanting to explore + get some rad photos. If you have an amazing spot that would look good on camera, hit me up & we can adventure together.
