Memphis Child Photography by BluOrchid Photography~Marion AR Photographer

Meet Brody and Richard Wayne. These two little boys were absolutely adorable and had such fun little personalities. We went out to the old mill. Brody was so curious about the old farm equipment that I had to spend a large amount of time chasing him throughout his little adventure. Richard Wayne, however, was not as curious and I had to lure him into the old mill by telling him about the owls who like to hide up in the eaves of the building and how if he smiled really well the owls would come out and say "Hi!" A few minutes into our fun game, an owl came out and startled us, but Richard Wayne wasn't frightened at all and gave me the best smile of the session.


Brody's mom loved this one so much she decided to get a big canvas.

Mom also loved this one of Richard Wayne and got a coordinating canvas to go with the one she got of Brody.

This is Richard Wayne after he had just seen the owl! Ha Ha.

This is Mister Brody the one second that he was standing still.

Mr. Bryan! BluOrchid Photography ~ Marion Children's Photographer

This is Mr. Bryan. He came to use a couple of years ago and it was time for some new photographs of this little fella! His "Na" (aka his grandmother) was so great to work with. She used all the bribes very appropriately! He was up for a ton of fun. One of his favorite things is his spiderman umbrella...we used that to help us get him having fun for the session. Then we switched gears and he rocked it out for me with his guitar! Last, we headed over and had some beautiful protraits made with him just being a boy! I loved this session...I had to run all over the place...but it was totally worth it! Have a look at some of my favs!

Christmas Charity Fundraiser by BluOrchid Photographer ~ Marion AR Children's Photographer

I talked a bit in the last post about how greatly appreciative Families in Transition was with our Halloween fundraiser so we decided to have some fun at Christmas time as well and came up with a great way to provide Families in Transition with much needed clothing and food items! All of the details are in the flyer below....call me with any questions (901.832.4111).


So many of us have so much to be thankful for in this holiday season (and year round for that matter). Let's give to those who are not as fortunate.
