Northwest Arkansas-Mellow Yellow Photography bio picture
  • WELCOME!

    For me, it's the little things I love most about life. Picking wildflowers for fun, bike rides to sonic for a late night drink, decorating cupcakes with my kiddos, or finding that perfect mug at a yard sale. Those kinds of moments are what make my life huge!

    As a photographer, I pride myself on capturing those little moments in YOUR life too. It's those often overlooked instances that really add personality and beauty to the big ones. While working hard to grab on to every special moment, I am also striving to capture them in a truly unique and creative way so they are special to YOU and YOUR lifestyle. Weather it's the scrunched up nose and toothy grin during your child's laughing fit or the gentle squeeze of your arm as your daddy gives your hand away, I will be there to catch it.

    If those little moments are most important to you...we are going to get along just fine!

Congratulations Anna!!

Meet Miss Anna, pretty much just the cutest most sweet and fun graduates of 2013!  I had so much fun with her and I can’t wait for you to see…so let’s not wait any longer:)

I was like, oh hey wind, thanks for making my job way more fun and awesome!

And then she started busting out this face and I died.  Her eyes.

stop it Anna, just stop it.;)

Oh my gato! I can’t handle it.  I love this.  I am in love with is.  In love.

oh ya know, just being rad.

Holy smokin’ hottie.

Im loving the red with the green.

Anna, thank you for agreeing to keep shooting when I saw we were about to miss out on this outfit.  You were a joy to hang out with and shoot.  I hope you love these as much as I do!!

Mr & Mrs Leung

Hey, howdy, hi ya’ll!!  If you follow my Facebook posts at all, you may remember some of my panicky posts about flying (im a BIT of a nervous flyer) to DC a couple of weeks ago,well here is why, folks!  I was shooting the wedding of an amazing couple, Rich and Sara Leung.  A friend of mine here in Arkansas referred me to them since she was about to have an adorable baby girl and would be unable to attend.  Am I ever so happy that she did!!  From the moment I started working with them, I knew things would go off without a hitch.  She is THE dream bride.  Had all her ducks in a row and then some. I arrived to DC where she met me with a Mellow Yellow Photography sign in bright yellow and a bubbly personality to match.  I get in the car and there is Rich, rockin’ out to some wonderful music and my weekend is off to a great start!!  The day went perfectly as planned because Sara and Rich and their families were so organized, but also very relaxed and so very welcoming.  Thank you again for that.  I honestly enjoyed every moment of this adventure (with the excepting of maybe a few hours in the air;)) and I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I hope you all enjoy these photos and really feel the love that was just everywhere that day.  Here we go.

Sara, I hope you don’t hate me for this, but I think you look adorable and your eyes are shining like the diamond on your finger.

This ring box was the one her mothers ring came in!  I love that.

I would like you to take notice of the smile right there on her mothers face.  It is ALWAYS there.  Nancy, you are one of the nicest, warm welcoming ladies I have had the pleasure of meeting.

Sara loved the folds in her dress and I loved the va va voom curves they gave her!!

a vision.

A beautiful gift from Richards grandmother.

Patiently waiting to see his lady for the first time.  He’s adorable.

They’re perfect together.  Just perfect.

Admiring those new rings while waiting to head to the reception.

Sara’s dad gave THE FUNNIEST speech I have heard yet!!

oh. my. holy lots of love.

Thank you, Anna.  You made me cry;)

Cuttin’ a rug in some fabulous silver shoes!

Marc was not only great at the robot, he was also a splendid driver getting me to the reception.  Thanks again for proving your family wrong and not killing me along the way:D

The family ties and friendships were so strong at this wedding.  I wish you all the very best in your life, thank you for letting me take part in this huge piece of it.  It was truly a pleasure and a joy to capture.  Cheers!
