Big Changes!

So where I have been and why has this blog been so quiet? Funny you ask because I've been super busy creating a new website, new blog, and, oh by the way, an all-new name for my photography business. Life Breaths Photography has now become Amy Buchanan Photography.

The new website is located at www.AmyBuchananPhotography.com. And the new blog is located at www.AmyBuchananPhotography.com/blog. This blog will remain active but all new posts will be at the new blog. The old website will remain active for a little while longer, but the new site will be updated more frequently thanks to the fabulous website product, ShowIt Sites. My email has also changed to amybuchananphoto@gmail.com. So head on over to the new website and let me know what you think!

Sneak Peek - Adrianna's 7th Birthday || Little Rock Child Photographer

A sneak peek to Adrianna's 7th birthday portrait session.

Spring has sprung...finally! | Little Rock Photographer

I shot these pictures over a week ago and was going to post them last week, but Old Man Winter decided he wasn't finished around these parts. After several days of cold and clouds and a little ice thrown in, the sun has finally reappeared with temperatures in the 70s to boot. It's really starting to get pretty around here.
Don't forget to call and schedule your portrait sessions to capture some of this beauty in your images. I still have a few sessions available for the next couple of weekends.

Lily's 6-Month Portraits - Pt 2 | Lifestyle Baby Photographer - Little Rock, Arkansas

Lily's 6-month session Part Deux. If you missed the first post of Lily's 6-month session, click here.

Now onto some more sweetness...


I mentioned a fun "prop" of Lily's parents in my first post. Well, there was an old mirror leaning against the wall next to where I shot some of Lily's pictures. I saw her watching herself in it and moved her in closer. I love how they turned out.

Daddy can make Lily giggle, but Lily makes Daddy laugh, too.

Lily's 6 Month Portraits | Little Rock Baby Photographer

It seems like time is flying by. I can't believe it's already March which also means it's time for Lily's 6-month session. I have so many "favorite" images that I'm doing 2 posts just so you can see them all.

Lily (and her wonderful parents) makes her sessions so easy and so much fun. Her mom gives me a few ideas as to what she would like and then lets me do my thing. We all laughed and chatted the entire time.

A couple of notes on all the images...the entire session was done inside their home with all natural light. And the only prop of mine I used was a cover for their bench. The next post will have a really fun prop of their's you won't want to miss. :)

So all of you who think your house isn't "pretty" enough and doesn't have enough light...think again! It's also where your baby is going to be most comfortable.

The second note is this is the first session I've edited with my new set of Kevin Kubota Photoshop Actions (Artistic Volume 2). And I have to say I'm thrilled with them.

Enough talking... On to the images....

This is probably my favorite image of the entire session. Her eyes seem to speak a 1,000 words while she's curled up safely in her daddy's arms.

Stay tuned for the 2nd edition of Lily's session. (See Lily's newborn and 3-month sessions)

Baby Mason at 6 Months | Benton, Arkansas

Mason was an absolute delight to photograph. I'm still marveling at his incredibly HUGE eyes. There were so many sweet images from our session that I had a really hard time picking just a few for a blog post (as you can tell by the number of images here).

A sneak peek at two sweet babies while I finish their galleries.

Mason and his incredible eyes...

Lily and her sweetness...

Little Rock Christian Winter Formal Portraits

Winter Formal is a special time for Little Rock Christian students and this year was no exception. I had the privilege of capturing formal portraits for three gorgeous couples.

One last sassy group shot before heading to a fabulous night of dinner and dancing...

Moment of Beauty | Little Rock Portrait Photographer

I'm in the middle of editing images from a really fun session with several students from Little Rock Christian Academy dressed to the nines for Winter Formal. But I had to share this image.
Simply beautiful.

Baby Lifestyle Photography | Little Rock, Arkansas

Weston's mom is getting her pictures tomorrow, so I thought I would share a few more images of his 1-year session.

A quiet moment with Mommy...

I'm currently working on some new session packages, especially for newborns and children. So moms, stay tuned! For 2009, all sessions will be on-location. I prefer to shoot in your home just as I did Weston's. I think that is where babies and kids are most comfortable. So even if you think you don't have good enough light, you will be surprised at what I'm able to capture.

Zoe "helping" me work...


I don't think I'm getting my money's worth. I may have to look for another assistant.

It's been icy and cold here the last few days. Nasty weather but it made for some beautiful pictures.

A New Look for a New Year

Happy New Year!

Well, what do you think of the new logo? It was custom-designed by Tara Staton and I tweaked the colors and font. I love the tree and think it fits perfectly into the Life Breaths theme. I hope to have the website updated soon but it's going to require a few more changes than I expected.

Hope you all had a great Christmas break. I spent Christmas and New Years with my family in Tennessee. It was nice to get away but reality hits tomorrow. I'll try to catch up this week with some photos from Christmas.
