Trolley Line Bookshop | Northwest Arkansas Photography

I must confess, with a fair amount of embarrassment, that visiting, photographing and writing about this wonderful next door neighbor of mine has been on my to-do list for quite sometime. Sure, we see each other in the comings and goings of everyday downtown life. When my kids were born, Myra (one of the owners) showed up at my studio with some gifts. And there happens to be a sign on my door that instructs personnel to deliver my packages next door when I am not present to accept and sign for them. To that end, you could say that I visit the bookshop next door quite a bit. But I’ve made a bad habit of never stopping long enough slow down, take it all in and enjoy the cozy atmosphere and the wide selection of books at my almost-immediate disposal. And that is a shame, because I love books.

Meet The Parkside Public | Northwest Arkansas Photography

New Year, New Restaurant. From the same two geniuses who brought you The Rail Pizza Company, meet The Parkside Public: A Burger Company. The new restaurant is opening in downtown Rogers early 2015. We were fortunate enough to get a tour of the space and a sampling of the food. Both are without a doubt, awesome. Here's a sneak peek at what to expect.

Millcreek Software | Northwest Arkansas Commercial Photography

For years, Kelly Miller of Millcreek Software had his company office just around the corner from our studio here in downtown Rogers. That was until a newly renovated building came up for sale and Kelly jumped at the chance to purchase. He now shares this beautiful, historic building with Doc4 Design and Field Agent, a company Kelly helped found and now serves as the Chief Technology Officer. With plans to launch a new website, Kelly invited us to create some images of the new space and also, collaboration between team members. Here's a few of our favorite images. Enjoy.

A Special Thankyou | Northwest Arkansas Photography

We wanted take a moment to sincerely thank our intern Alex for all his hard work and dedication this summer. Alex, who’s last name has such an impossible spelling that we given up trying to include it with his first name, photographed a number of weddings with us during April, May and June. He traveled with us out of state for a few of those weddings and he was with us when all the chaos with #thethomastwins started. He quietly sat in the back of our Subaru while I drove like a maniac in the middle of the night to rush my wife to the hospital and he helped calm an irate police officer down and save me from, what I presume would’ve been a hefty speeding ticket upon our arrival in Ft. Smith. His friendly, yet sarcastic personality was a great addition to our summer schedule as were his incredible images. And his relentless work ethic will undoubtedly carry him far in photography and in life.
