URBAN & NATURAL LOCATION PHOTO SESSION OF BENTONVILLE SENIOR, RIA

by Nids | May 4, 2019 | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Ria is this bubbly girl that lights up the room with her energy and becomes friends with anyone she talks to. When Ria and her mom came in for her senior session design, I found out that Ria’s heart is in theater and while she has a casual style, she loves everything drama. I was excited to capture her fun and charming personality through her images.

We started Ria’s session with hair and makeup artistry and picked out outfits to showcase her casual, stylish, glam and Indian sides. She looked absolutely stunning in every single outfit!

I asked Ria a few questions so we could know what she’s thankful for and what she’s looking forward to at this stage in her life. Here’s what she said:

What do you believe in at this stage of your life? I believe that everything happens for a reason. I’ve been blessed with an amazing life and luckily I get to celebrate it with amazing people. There will always be good and bad experiences however, I believe that something good will come out of it all.

What are you looking forward to in life for the coming years? I’m looking forward to new opportunities! I can’t wait to see where life takes me in these upcoming years

What’s most important to you at this stage in life? Where I am going… I’m really looking forward to the future and seeing where it takes me but I know that it takes a lot of hardwork and dedication to reach my goals.

What are the three things you love the most? Hard to say! I’m a stickler for the little things like car rides, sunsets, silly jokes… I love it all but I love my family the most.

5 random things we should know about you? I play a few instruments, I was the Forensics Co Captain, I can wiggle my ears haha, I’m obsessed with dogs, and I was qualified to go to Nationals for forensics!

What are you most grateful for? I’m most grateful for the people and opportunities I have in my life. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the ones I surround myself with and I wouldn’t be where I am today without all the chances I was given to make a difference for myself or others.

What’s on your bucket list? I have a lot but a few in particular are to swim with a shark! And go to the beach… I know I haven’t been yet!

What are you passionate about? I am very passionate about acting. I want to pursue theatre in my upcoming years because that is something I like to call mine, something that I feel most confident doing and most happy doing.

Ria, you are going to do amazing things in life. I wish you all the best for your bright future! I can’t wait to see you at Broadway some day, living up your dreams!

NWA SENIOR, KHUSHI

by Nids | Apr 19, 2019 | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

I met Khushi when she came in for her senior session design appointment. A girl with high aspirations and confidence, yet so calm, I was in awe of her personality and charm. We decided to do part of her session in studio to create some contemporary images showcasing her beautiful personality and style and part of the session outdoors in a dreamy, natural location to capture her love for mother nature.

We started the day with my team who glammed Khushi up with their hair and makeup artistry. Watching her transform into a diva was amazing! I had an absolute blast photographing her in the studio while she danced in frills and jammed with her guitar. Since family is big part of who Khushi is at this stage in her life, we used the opportunity to create some images with her family as well. I love how they all turned out!

Khushi is an intelligent, beautiful soul. Here’s a little glimpse of who she is at this stage in her life, as a high school senior:

What are you looking forward to in life for the coming years?

Definitely a little bit of adventure away from the smaller towns that I grew up in

What is your favorite book and what have you learnt from it?

I love reading science books that teach me about the world we love in, especially books about astronomy

What’s on your bucket list?

My biggest dream for as long as I can remember has been to travel to every country in the world

In what ways is destiny responsible for the direction of your life?

Some things are just destined to be, whether we like it or not. Though things don’t always go the way I want, some things that went “wrong” are actually responsible for the best decisions I ever made.

When do you feel most alive?

I feel most alive when I am out with a few friends away from large crowds. I love when I’m outside and not completely alone, not trapped by walls or people around me.

What’s the worst thing about being a senior?

Over the last month, I’ve realized how much I’m going to miss Bentonville even though I was so eager to leave earlier in the year. I’m definitely sad that I’ll be leaving everything I’ve ever known behind.

If you had an extra $100 what would you buy?

A stack of books.

Do you have any bad habits you simply refuse to change?

I have a horrible habit of going to used book stores and spending all of my money on cheap books. I end up buying over 10 at a time at least twice a month, and I’ve read about 3 of them. Despite insistence from everyone I know to read the ones I have before buying new ones, I can’t stop myself.

What are your thoughts on friendship?

Friends are some of the most important people in my life right now and probably will always be. True friendship is something that lasts a long time and not a passing connection between two people.

Your favorite song this year that you could listen to on repeat?

I’ve been listening to a lot of older music from when I was in elementary school recently, so basically any song from the 2000s. I’ve found myself feeling extremely nostalgic as of late.

What memory are you going to remember forever about your time at BHS?

Just the time I get to spend with my friends. I don’t have classes with many of my friends anymore, so I treasure the few moments that I get to spend with them, like at lunch or during our pep rallies. These are the memories that I’ll look back at years from now.

What are you passionate about?

I’m really big on empowerment and giving everyone a voice. I think everyone, no matter their age or any personal attribute, deserves the same say as everyone else.

This girl is a pure gem! Enjoy some of the beautiful images we created together during her senior photo session:

BENTONVILLE SENIOR, MALIA

by Nids | Sep 15, 2018 | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Malia is a delight to be around, a girl who loves fantasy yet is so easy to connect with like you have known her forever. She loves reading and swimming, is an exceptional math kid and doesn’t fail to impress anyone with her sweet, genuine smile and intellectual.

During Malia’s photo session designing and planning phase we quickly decided that it has to showcase her love for swimming, books and fantasy. To do total justice to everything we wanted to achieve for her senior year through photography, we decided to do 2 separate photo sessions, one in summer and one in fall. For her summer session we focused on water and it couldn’t have been better!

We started at a waterfall to create the fantasy world. Malia picked a perfect dress for this session and my creative muse, Rosa Ainley made an amazing head piece to complement the look. It also helped that she is insanely beautiful and so fun!

It was a joy watching her transform into a beautiful, confident, mermaid. Her eyes sparkled and her smile lit up my heart. I enjoyed the shoot just as much as she did! Check out these amazing images we created together.

Malia is deeply rooted in logic and reason, dreams big and has the tools and drive to arrive at those dreams. She will be studying engineering in her next chapter, but we all know that’s only the start of where she is going.

Malia, I have no doubt you will live life fully and achieve all your dreams. Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer and bringing me along on your senior year journey. I can’t wait for your next photo session.

Love what you see? Please drop a comment! If you would like to plan a unique senior session of your own contact me and let’s chat about how you dream to be photographed.

BENTONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR, KAELYN

by Nids | May 1, 2018 | SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Kaelyn is an easy-going, charming, girl-next-door! She loves music and is in Bentonville chamber choir (BHS). I loved every second spent with her. She laughed through her whole session and the result was such fun and captivating images!

When Kaelyn said she wanted to have balloons in her session, she was speaking my language. I love incorporating fun elements in pictures and what could be more fun than balloons? For her shoot location she wanted water in the background and old, textured walls. We picked Rogers downtown and lake Atalanta for her session and it was just perfect! We even got lucky with a perfect sunset towards the end of the shoot.

I hope you enjoy these images from Kaelyn’s senior session:

Kaelyn, I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to capture this amazing time in your life and for choosing me to be your senior photographer.

I know you will do amazing things at BYU. I wish you all the best with this new chapter in life.

BENTONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR, AMIRTHA

by Nids | Apr 2, 2018 | LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY, SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Amirtha is a Bentonville High School 2018 senior. This girl is the perfect blend of brain, sass, sweetness, beauty and individuality. She is in Bentonville Chamber Orchestra (which rocks btw!), plays piano and wants to pursue computer science as a major in college. Talk about using both left and right side of your brain! I love her respect for her Indian heritage and was thrilled that she wore a sari for her senior session. It’s not everyday that you see a senior girl rocking a sari for her portraits!

When I first met Amirtha at her portrait consultation, I felt like I had already met her. She is so much like my daughter in her “shy at first but a total ball once you get to know her” personality. I loved watching this girl unfold in front of my camera and becoming this confident-in-her-skin, graciously beautiful young lady.

Amirtha didn’t want her senior images to be average and if you know me, you know I love doing anything but average! We started fantasizing and planning about the elegant, glamorous- but-still her look and perfect outfits and locations to achieve just that. I love the outfits we picked out to be photographed in for her session and the locations we chose did wonders for her images. I especially love the spring trees with her bright red dress…just so beautiful!

Here are some of Amirtha’s favorite images from her session.

I loved spending time with this sweet girl and creating these gorgeous images of her that document her senior year in such a beautiful way. Thanks for trusting me with your senior portraits Amritha! I wish you all the best with your college life. I know you will totally ace the nerd department in whichever university you decide on.

ROGERS SENIOR, JASMYRRH

by Nids | Mar 19, 2018 | LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY, SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Jasmyrrh is a 2018 senior at Providence Classical Christian Academy in Rogers, NWA. I first met Jasmyrrh during her sweet family’s portrait session last summer. She is a fun, down-to-earth, soft-spoken girl, just like her parents. It’s hard not to become fond of the Cortez family once you meet them.

Jas lives in the moment and is always up for trying something new. When I suggested running and dancing with colorful ribbons for some of her senior pictures, she instantly came on board. Her eyes lit up as she was twirling in a black tutu and colorful ribbons. I’m so excited to share a few of my favorites from her senior portrait session that show her fun, vibrant, friendly, girl-next-door personality, oh so well.

Thanks for choosing me to create your senior portraits, Jas and trusting me with my crazy ideas. I’m so glad you love these images just as much as I do!
