Brittany, NHS Class of 2011 ~ {Arkansas Senior Portrait Photographer}

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:31:00 +0000

Meet Brittany, a senior at Newport High School. I have been photographing Brittany since she was a pewee cheerleader, so it’s hard to believe she is almost old enough to graduate. We spent an afternoon at the park and Jacksonport photographing the first of two senior sessions- and it was HOT! But, Brittany was a trooper and toughed it out in the heat. We even got to try out my new red chair. Here are my favorites from her first session… another session to come this fall!

Thanks for asking me to photograph your senior portraits, Brittany. You rocked the red chair! Can’t wait for your fall session. ~ Cheryl

Alex & Laura’s Destination Wedding

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:27:23 +0000

Last weekend I traveled down to Orange Beach to photograph the wedding of Laura Hudspeth and Alex Henry. When we originally started planning their wedding, it was a fall Northeast Arkansas wedding. But, the couple decided to take advantage of their annual family vacation and celebrate their marriage in Orange Beach with their closest family and friends. Despite the tragic oil spill, the beaches were absolutely gorgeous for their wedding. Laura, her family and friends created all the decorations for their beach wedding. The flowers were created at a local northeast Arkansas florist and set up by Laura’s family. The just-before-sunset ceremony was held on the private beach of the Lei Lani Condominiums, and the reception was held at The Hangout. Here are my favorite images:

Laura and Alex, thanks so much for including me on your wedding day, even when the date and location changed. We appreciated your hospitality in Orange Beach. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness! – Cheryl

Isaac is 1! ~ [Arkansas Photographer]

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 02:03:27 +0000

This past weekend, a few days after his birthday, I was able to photograph Isaac’s one-year session. How does a year go by so quickly?!? He is growing up to be such a cutie, I love my sessions with him. Even though he was sick, he still managed a couple of smiles for me. Here are my favorites from his session:

How cute is he?

I love this face…

We had to read his favorite book

The gorgeous lillies from Lillian’s garden

He had already had his official birthday extravaganza, so he had this smash-the-cake thing all figured out…

Thanks Jason and Jill, for sharing your beautiful family! Love you guys! ~ Cheryl

Wedding Booking Special ~ [Arkansas Wedding Photographer]

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:49:24 +0000

Every wedding booked now until the end of August will receive a FREE 16×20 canvas gallery wrap wall portrait. Retail value $475

Mauldin Photography has two available weddings for 2010. And we are so ready to start booking your 2011 and 2012 wedding dates! In order to entice you to plan early… we thought a beautiful piece of art for the walls in your new home together would be a great start! I cannot say enough about how beautiful these museum-quality canvas gallery wrap wall portraits are. They are truly stunning!

We feel that in order to give our clients the time and attention they deserve we can only accept a limited number of wedding commissions each year. It is important to us to be able to take time to get to know you and form a bond with you. It is in those relationships that we learn what will make your wedding portraits meaningful to you. It also allows us to focus on making art, which is one thing we are known for. We consistently hear over and over again, “your work is so different from everyone else we looked at”. That’s because we shoot each wedding from the love story in front of us and then spend the time to give the portraits our artistic touch. Your love inspires our art. If we became an assembly line of wedding photography, that unique approach to each wedding would be lost. Creating art and forming relationships with our clients is so important to us that we have chosen not to compromise on that. Thus, why we limit the studio to only 20 wedding commissions every year.

Taking an exclusive number of weddings also allows us to have a very short turn-around time on your wedding order. Your previews are typically available within two weeks of your wedding, with your DVD of wedding day images being mailed to you about a week after that. Once your album preview has been approved, you typically will have your wedding album on the coffee table in two to sixteen weeks – depending on the style of album you purchased and which country it is being shipped to us from when completed. Some are handmade in Italy… that takes a little longer. Domestically printed and bound albums generally come back to us within two weeks of order date. We have all the contemporary and modern wedding album products you have seen at the bridal shows – the choices are almost overwhelming. And we custom design each and every one ourselves!

Mauldin Photography is ready to book your wedding now! Let’s talk about how you can become one of our exclusive wedding clients and take one thing off your wedding planning to-do list! Visit the website to see our recent work, see what our current wedding clients are saying about us, and get to know us a little better.

All wedding contracts that are signed by August 31, 2010 will receive a free 16×20 gallery canvas wall portrait from our masterpiece portrait series. Mauldin Photography has interest-free financing plans to help with your wedding budget, and can custom design any type of wedding photography coverage you need. Email us at cheryl@mauldinphotography, send a facebook message, or call 870.219.6504. We would love to have you as one of our exclusive wedding clients! – Cheryl

Cari & Drew’s Wedding ~ Jonesboro Wedding Photographer

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:34:56 +0000

I met Cari last year when we began planning her wedding photography, and spent a fun afternoon with them last fall photographing their engagement portraits. Somehow between Cari being in nursing school and Drew being in medical school, they managed to plan a wedding. Whew! Makes me tired just thinking about it! On June 26th, their wedding dreams came true as they were married at Blessed Sacrement in Jonesboro. Their wedding day was filled with family, friends and fun, with lots of tiny little details to make the day their own. All in all, just a beautiful and emotional wedding day, that ended with the wedding party dancing into the reception and a smoky / sparkling send off for Cari and Drew. I LOVED the smack-down for the bouquet and garter. LOL It was great working with my friends over at The Wedding Gallery again, too. I had lots of favorites, but finally narrowed it down to a manageable number and here they are:

Cari and Drew, thank you so much for hiring me as your wedding photographer. I have enjoyed getting to know you both and had so much fun on your wedding day. ~ Cheryl

Kasey & Jason’s Destination Wedding in Key West ~ Key West Wedding Photographer

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:12:07 +0000

I shared images from the day before the wedding shoot we did with Kasey and Jason this morning. So now on to the Destination Wedding at Crowne Plaza La Concha Resort in Key West. What an amazing location! Key West was beautiful, and the rooftop ceremony for Kasey and Jason at sunset was equally beautiful. The Crowne Plaza boasts as the highest point in Key West with a panoramic view from the rooftop of all of Key West, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Sunset that evening was one of the most breathtaking sunsets of the week. The gorgeous dress worn by Kasey was designed by her grandfather. We love this couple! All you need to do is see the look on their faces when they look at each other to see how much in love they are. I know Kasey and Jason were glad to be able to share their wedding day with their families and friends. I had to fly home on wedding day to photograph a Jonesboro wedding, and Nicole stayed on in Key West to capture these beautiful wedding portraits. Here were just some of my favorites:

Congratulations, Kasey and Jason! Your wedding day was beautiful! Thank you so much for your hospitality during wedding week and trusting us to capture your wedding memories in Key West. This is a wedding and a week Nicole and I will never forget. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness! – Cheryl and Nicole

Kasey & Jason in Key West

We had the awesome experience a few weeks ago to travel down to Key West with Kasey and Jason to photograph their destination wedding at LaConch Plaza Resort.

They are pretty much a photographer’s dream-come-true, because they were willing to try anything we could think up. So here is Kasey and Jason’s day-before-the-wedding shoot, Key West-style:

Kasey & Jason, we had so much fun spending the afternoon with you guys exploring the local art and culture, as well as a little sand and sun at Smather’s Beach. So happy for you both! – Cheryl and Nicole

Breanne, Maternity Session

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 04:53:56 +0000

I met Breanne and Brandon last Spring when I photographed first their engagement session, and then their wedding. I was incredibly honored when they asked that I photograph Breanne’s maternity session. It was great to see them again and catch up on everything that has happened since their wedding last summer. I can’t wait to meet Abigail, who was born last month and just a few weeks after this session. Here are my favorite portraits from the session:

I heart you guys! Congratulations on your bundle of joy! – Cheryl
