They held hands as they walked down the path. Much like they did in parking lots and grocery stores when the kids were smaller. Mom and dad took turns telling each kid what they loved about them. Speaking life into their children and making those little eyes light up. They played tag and didn’t care […]

He was led into the bridal suite of Chapel On The Creeks with his eyes closed. His daughter waited patiently inside.

Is there anything that passes faster than your baby’s first year of life? The days are long but the years are short, right? And the years don’t come back. Our itty bitty babies transform before our eyes, one day at a time, until they are no longer itty bitty but fill our hearts just the […]

This was my first time getting to photograph at The Reserve at Osage House. Let me tell you, it way surpassed the hype. Hailey and Brad put together a stellar team of vendors, including Corrie Childers Photography. I always love the opportunity to Second Shoot for Corrie, and this wedding was no exception. All of […]

And while that’s not necessarily untrue, eloping has evolved to mean a small, intimate ceremony which may or may not include […]

Shipman Photography - NWA Maternity - Bentonville - Edwards

If you had asked me 7 years ago when I first bought a camera if I wanted to photograph families, maternity, and newborn, I would have told you absolutely not. But so much has changed in that 7 years.
