I am an extremely creative person who is constantly 'making and creating' things. My absolute obsession, besides working out and trying to keep myself in shape, is capturing memories through photography. I love photojournalistic style of photography, meaning that I love to get candid shots to tell a story. The story can be, "Hey I'm 1 year old and am the boss" or "I'm a very curious 5 year old that loves the mud." No matter you or your family's story, I would love to capture it! I am a very versatile photographer as I will do seniors, kids, families, and engagement. I am working on encorporating weddings to my list. I am willing to try your ideas and have tons of my own.

I have always been interested in helping others capture family memories that they can cherish and display in their home. I encourage all my clients to prints their pictures, frame them and display them proudly. Before I began working at ACH, I was a framer at Hobby Lobby. If you ever have any questions about framing or displaying your photos, please let me know!

When booking with me, I may ask you some questions that will help me get to know your child and/or yourself. These questions help me be prepared for your session so I can provide with the photos you are looking for and a smooth session. Please answer them promptly as to allow me to research and gather things that may be needed for your session.

Weddings - prices vary and I'd love to discuss them with you. Depends on the amount of time you need me, which you can customize with your budget, and whether you would like a second photographer. I often work with another photographer and many times recommend using both of us to maximize your experience and photos!

Having a party and don't want to be behind the camera the entire day only to realize you aren't in any of the pictures?
This is near and dear to my heart, because as a mother and a photographer, I am always behind the camera and never in the photos. Not to mention you have to watch the whole party through the viewfinder.
Let me come get pictures for your event. I can be behind the scenes and get candids or be involved and do some posing...or a little of both. Call for prices depending on location and hours. Birthday parties, baby or bridal showers, reunions.

I offer a price list with each CD for professional printing to order through me. There is a big difference in professional printing vs. 1 hour glossy prints, but it's totally up to you! I have samples of each to show you and compare.

Wondering what the "and such" is of my title? You'll see lots of my craftiness on here from wreaths to jewelry. So enjoy!
I'm also fitness advocate...trying to help others lose weight, along with myself. After being introduced to Beachbody, I've become completed addicted to staying in shape and helping others do the same. Let me know if you are interested in getting in shape, getting healthy and getting happy!! Facebook me, email me or go to my page

McArthur Wedding 2014

I was honored when after doing Cody and Branaie's engagement pictures, they asked me to do their wedding. Wow!

So with the help of my best friend and fellow photog, Shannon Hall, we photographed a beautiful day between two wonderful families! I'm not quite sure I've ever seen such a happy and gitty bride, not to mention and groom who was just as "into" the day as we all were!

They bridal party go ready at their hotel in Bryant and then we all met at St. John's Chapel by the Creek in Benton for the fabulous ceremony. The reception was at the new Benton Event Center and I'm not sure I've ever attended such an interactive reception. Can we say "crowd participation!"

A few pre-wedding details...

Cody's mom, Jeanette is a florist and she did all the floral arrangements including the bouquets. She is wrapping part of Branaie's mom's wedding dress around her bouquet for the ceremony.

While Shannon photographed Branaie getting her dress on at the chapel, I caught Cody and his men doing their thing before the ceremony. Below is his Dad and Mom helping him look his best!

The "First Look" had to be one of my favorite parts of the day. Cody couldn't wait to see his bride and she was literally "blushing" as they had their few minutes alone.

The kiss!!

Reception fun

When I say interactive, this is what I'm talking about...The Shoe game. In front of the guests, Cody and Branaie took their shoes off and exchanged one to each other. The DJ would then let the guests ask questions about them and they would have to answer with their shoes. So an example of a question would be "Who wears the pants in the family?" They did agree on most questions!
