Happy Halloween!

This witch doll was a toy I found in the kid's Happy Meal. Way to go McDonalds! Happy Halloween from the Hudsons!

New Couples!

A big thank you to Ashley and Aaron who hired us to photograph their wedding at the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in Muskogee, Oklahoma on November 8, 2008, and also to Melanie and Matthew, who are having a wedding and reception at the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks on September 26, 2009. Looking forward to both!

Kara + Scott!

Between the heat of summer and the cold of winter, we always get a ton of calls for engagement pictures. Here are some faves from Kara and Scott's session:

Rachel + Neill = Engaged!

Jason at work...



And the resulting picture...

Leslie + Kirk's Engagement

Lindy + Clifton

Lindy and Clifton were married a couple of years ago, but since they had "traditional" pictures taken at the wedding, they wanted some modern pictures taken of just the two of them.

Kori published in The Knot!

Kori has had one of her weddings (Lindsay and Bryan) published on The Knot! Congrats Kori!

The ceremony took place at Bell Gable Chapel in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with the reception held at the UARK Ballroom! Flowers by Flora and cake from Rick's Bakery!

Sarah Bridal...

Just got this email from Sarah who was married on October 18:


I just want to say "WOW!" The pictures in your gallery of our wedding are absolutely amazing. And as I have instructed friends and family to also take a peek, the overall response is great. I cannot wait to see all the pictures from the special day and night.

I also would like to say thank you. You were wonderful to work with and you did a really great job of capturing all those posed pictures with quickness and ease. (I think we took all post wedding pictures and made it to the reception in record time!) I have really enjoyed getting to know you over the past year and I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know getting married.

Thanks again for capturing our wedding day. I look forward to more pictures to come!


Here are a few photos from her bridal session:

Baby Shower Pictures...

Normally you have a baby shower before the baby arrives, but that was not the case since Norah came early, so Kori was thrown a shower today!

Published!

A big thanks to At Home in Arkansas magazine for publishing Lauren and Stuart's wedding in their "Weddings in Arkansas" Fall issue. Lauren and Stuart's wedding was amazing to photograph and it looks great in print too! Several other magazines including The Knot wanted to publish this wedding also, but At Home beat them all to it!

Norah is going to be a month old this week. We can't believe it. Here are some pictures we made with her tonight!

Jenni + Jared = Married!

Kori and Kara had a blast shooting Jenni + Jared's wedding in OKC last week! Here's a "Behind the Scenes" shot Kara grabbed of Kori blazing through the portrait session:

We've had such a great time getting to know Jenni and Jared throughout their wedding process. Here are a few of our favorites from Jenni's bridal... Now that they've tied the knot, we can finally show them off!

Saturday Shoot Day - October 25th

Very rarely are we available for portrait sessions on Saturdays due to our intense wedding photography schedule, however we have set aside Saturday, October 25 as a "shoot day." So if you are needing engagement or bridal pictures, and you are only free on a Saturday, we are available on the 25th of October. There are just a few spots left, so send us an email to get booked!

Baby Norah

Norah is 3 weeks old this week. She's growing well and doing great. She sleeps about 20 hours a day and eats the rest of the time. What a life! Mom is doing great too! Kori photographed a wedding last weekend in Oklahoma City and is shooting a wedding today at the awesome Marlsgate Plantation near Little Rock, Arkansas.

Here's the latest pictures of our little angel!

Going home!

Norah is going home!

She's tiny! Still less than 5 pounds... most babies would fill up more of their car seat!

Big news for us!

We got the word today from Norah's Neonatologist that if all goes well over the next couple of days, that we might be able to take her home on Thursday! We can't wait! Then on Friday, Kori and I are heading out to Oklahoma City to photograph a wedding and then I'll be driving from there to Paris (Arkansas) for another wedding! It's a big weekend all around, and we can't wait!

Here are some recent photos:

Sleepy dad, sleeping baby!

Smile!

This one makes me laugh out loud every time I see it!




We love you Norah!

New Gallery...

Congrats to Jaclyn and Brad who just booked Kori and I to photograph their October 17, 2009 wedding, and also to Mary Katherine and Andy marrying on on May 16, 2009, and a big congrats to Kia and Matt who hired Kori and I to photograph their wedding on August 29, 2009. We appreciate you all! We are booking 2009 dates like crazy. If you'd like to get on our schedule for us to document your wedding day, please send an email to shootus@thehudsonsrock.com

Ashley Married John!

We've been crazy busy booking weddings, shoots, etc. and although we haven't finished Ashley and John's wedding gallery just yet, I am going through their pictures from Sept. 27 and am finding some favorites that I wanted to share with you! What a beautiful couple and a perfect wedding. The ceremony took place at Central United Methodist Church in Rogers, Arkansas and their reception was held at the Doubletree hotel.

Jason is headed off to Oklahoma City today to photograph a wedding Saturday for an awesome bride and groom that we booked about two years ago it seems! Have a great weekend everybody!

Snapshot from today...

Baby Norah is one week old today! She is finally out of the critical unit and into the NICU's less critical "outer-circle" which means we get a private room and can stay with her 24/7. Kori has gotten to nurse a couple of times and is loving that. We got to dress her today also (itzy bitzy from Bella Jack's).
